The positive feedback on features like customization and feel is frequently offset by negative experiences with controller longevity.

Online reviews were right unfortunately.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I still have 2 xbox 360s, 2 xbox ones, 1 xbox one s, and also an xbox one x along with all the original controllers. They all still work really well. Only two of the ten old controllers have a slight issue with drift. They are standard stock controllers. This series 2 has such fantastic feel to it. Loved playing with it. But it seems to have slowly acquired all the problems I've read about online. Only 5 months after purchase, it performs worse than my oldest stock 50 dollar controller. Stick drifting, buttons non reactive whenever it feels like it, and disconnecting blue tooth or even hard wired. I love all of my xbox equipment, but sad to say, i wouldn't recommend this controller until Microsoft can fix the many issues it has. Microsoft should reassess where this is manufactured and consider giving the contract for it to a more qualified manufacturer.

Works and feels great, but stick drift problematic
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the controller with exception of price and the stick drift issue. It's nice that Microsoft finally acknowledged that it was a problem and extended the warranty but it would be better if they would fix the issue. On my second controller in 4 months so we'll see how it holds up. A little on the pricey side when considering the quality issues they have been having.

Perfect controller
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect controller. This is my second elite controller. I still have the first, I just wanted a spare. Feels solid. The only difference is that this does not come with the carrying case or the back paddles. I got back paddles elsewhere for $15.

Great controller, but buy the extended warranty!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my fourth Microsoft Elite controller I have owned. All have been purchased from Best Buy. I always purchase the extended warranty because they always seem to develop hardware issues. The controller itself has an excellent feel and performs well. Unfortunately for me, they seem to have a fully functional life of about one year before needing replacement. Its very disappointing for a high quality item like this to have continuing issues!

Ehhhh..
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you buy this, you might as well buy two, or absolutely have a warranty. Sturdy and definitely improves ability, but it's a roulette whether the controller will gave stick drift out of the box or not. If you want to shell out more money, get a SCUF

Xbox Elite Controller
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Controller has been fantastic, I have been using it for almost a year up until recently when I started getting stick drift and even with the customization of the controller I am not able to fix it. I recommend getting the protection plan as the manufacturer's warranty won't replace it.
