Lipstick on a pig
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Feels great, looks great. Easily the worst controller I've ever used. If it was $20 I would be irritated, but $200? Buttons don't work, stick drift, and rubber grips WILL peel off over time. It really is shocking they are still selling this.

Solid
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Elite Series 2 controller is very solid, and feels very good in my hands. The customization is good to set up your controller to your style of play, and when not playing a shooter your can put to respond like a regular controller to play Madden. So you have two controllers in one if you want to compete or not this controller is a must have. Money well spent.

Quality feel!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good controller! Could be a user issue, but much heavier than PS5. Wears on my knuckles, BUT it’s pure quality.

Controller

Great controller, but not durable
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First, I really like the feel and functionality of this controller. It has great adjustments, but is not durable at all. Ive only used it for a few weeks and it already has stick drift. Quite a letdown.

Xbox Series 2 Elite Controller
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a really good controller, but overall if you don’t buy the back pedals the Rb and Lb buttons tend to break more easily even with minimal use

Finally cheaper option without the case and extras
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been using the Elite series of controllers since gen 1, it is nice to finally have a cheaper purchasing option than the $180 original gen 2 with the case and charging base.

Worth it for the price
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller is a must if you are a hardcore gamer. I've read some reviews about it having stick drift after a couple of months of use but, I have not experienced anything in my 2 months of owning it. After using this controller it's hard for me to use a regular controller because of the remapping done to the back paddles. Overall though it's worth it if you play a lot of games.

Pro controller is awesome
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.From the look to the field this is the whole package. It’s got the right weight the right balance and being able to adjust the tension on the triggers and the thums is awesome. I like that they came out with the white one however I would be great if there were more colors and patterns.

Xbox elite
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m a dual shock remote player and surprisingly this remote is high quality and feels very good in the hands. Don’t think I will be going back to dual shock after playing with this remote. Buttons feel great and feels amazing in the hands.
