Good Controller
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have 2 of these and like them better than the standard xbox controller. Like the rubber grip and the ability to add the flipper buttons. Allows for some customization and just feels good in your hands.

Great grip and customization
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The texture grip is comfortable and the customization through the pc and xbox apps are where this controller really becomes pro.

Pretty tough controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for my husband and i made sure i bought the product protection for it since my husband does play and uses it alot. He enjoys it. However with all the usage the buttons were not working properly anymore . We went to best buy and were able to get a replacement free of charge because we had the protection on it.

Elite
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great set of sticks and remapping is awesome. Have had a few of the elites over the years and the only downside is one of the bumpers is almost guaranteed to start going around the 15+ months mark.

Excellent Upgrade From Series 1
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I upgraded my Elite Series 1 and have no regrets so far. The controller feels very good and high quality. The 3 levels for the trigger buttons is a must have for any first person shooter gamers. Only concern is how the handle grips will hold up since the Series 1 had serious issues with them peeling. A bit pricey but if you're a serious gamer or game a lot this controller is worth it.

Eh they keep breaking
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For a while, it works really great, but eventually the bumpers go out. I’ve gone through multiple elite controllers and now two core controllers. Same problems on all of them. Maybe my grip strength needs to calm down, but the more likely option is multi connectors within the controller that allow the actuator button to break off after a period of time.

Hoping this one lasts more than a year
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The one I had previously only lasted a year and a half which, of course, is outside of warranty. I'm hoping this one does better because I like how solid it is and the case it comes with. It also seems to have a better connection with my xbox than other controllers.
I would recommend this to a friend Great upgrade!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Microsoft has done a great job on the 2nd gen elite controller. My only problem with the 1st gen were the grips and they've completely rehauled them here. They don't feel as tacky at first touch but once I start to play I actually much prefer the grip on the 2nd gen controller. Overall the controller feels much more solid. A little more compact grip which has proven much more comfortable over the last month.

Nice quality for a premium $
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very expensive controller but huge improvement over the base controller. I love mapping buttons to the bottom but really only keep one paddle on the controller to keep it daily useable. Stick feel is great charges easily and with the charger built into the case it’s easy to put it up at night and have a fully charged controller when I’m ready to use it.

Well Built - Great Product
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve really enjoyed this controller so far. The quick customization to your game play style for any game in just seconds by switching parts and profiles makes the user experience that much nicer. The controller is well built and very customizable. Also really enjoy the charger and case.

Great controller, some build quality issues
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I can’t stress this enough: buy the protection plan. I’ve read numerous reviews on some models having design flaws, stick float, etc. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE this controller, but I would hate to spend $180 on one and not have it work after the 90-day Microsoft warranty runs out. My first didn’t charge on the base, current one seems flawless.
