V2 is nice
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the v1 so had to get a v2. Consistently sold out until I got lucky. Wish I could pair it with a series x… (looking at YOU Best Buy). Would like to buy more stuff from Best Buy and not get threatened about my credit card being canceled from lack of activity cause BB can’t get merchandise in stock…

It’s a Great controller but…
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s amazing been using it for a couple of days and i love it, but if you are a casual gamer honestly I would say dont get it, I play casually maybe three times a week, and even thought it feels nice in hand, it doesn’t really do much of a difference than my regular xbox controller,.

Somehow, I prefer regular controllers.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The build quality is awesome and it’s a beautiful piece of technology, but there are several fundamental flaws that still have not been completely fixed in this second generation of elite series controllers. Within days I was experiencing: -Stick drift -dropped connection mid-game -delayed response in left stick input (visually confirmed in the Xbox accessories app) For this price, I would absolutely expect this controller to be perfect. Instead, I got an absolutely gorgeous controller with a lot of problems. They may not be noticeable to a casual gamer, but what casual gamer is buying a $180 controller? Three stars because I’m having it replaced and I’m hoping I just got an exceptionally bad copy. If it’s another dud, 1 Star for sure.

Elite Series 2
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome controller. I love the sturdy feel and being able to customize a ton about it. Especially the tension on the sticks.

Bad stick drift
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.stick drift after a couple of months. build quality isn't what I expected for how much you spend on a controller. Stick drift is horrible after a couple months use. If you have the money to dish out for the controller than go ahead and buy it. It works great when it is working but once stick drift becomes a issue its over because things like stick drift matter alot in fps games and pretty much any game where there is a aiming mechanic involved. Microsoft definitely needs to focus on this issue more on the next model. Thus for now I only give it 2 stars due to the price along with the lack of build quality due to the stick drift issue.

Really good
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really good and durable but i think its too overpriced.
I would recommend this to a friend Excellent controller, very well designed.
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been using this controller for the better part of a year now and it has been nothing but perfect. I love the fact that so many of the parts are modular and can be swapped out or removed. The controller is very well balanced and feels very comfortable during long play sessions. The charging dock and case are excellent as well. It's expensive but definitely worth the price.

Whatever
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller is meant to break, they have insurance for a reason. This is my third one. Sadly its the best controller out there, but will break over time no matter what. Horrible stick drift is known and buttons getting stuck.
