Good Controller but expensive
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not as impressed as i thought i would be. Dont get me wrong, its still a great controller but for 3x the cost of a regular controller, I was expecting something more. Would only recommend if you want to utilize the buttons on the backside.

Perfect, just buy queek squad protection
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is a good controller but to be honest after a year it starts to fail.. it is my 3rd controller. The first controller the RB started to fail. The next one it was the right stick. Just make sure you buy the geek squad protection

Glad to have a Elite again
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Owned the first elite for almost 3 years before the LB button finally gave out, decided to upgrade to the elite 2. So far it feels like a durable controller but I also bought the extended warranty in case I have any issues with it down the road like the original elite.

Great, buuuuuuuut
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellet, but it disconnects randomly mid match a lot. Best Buy exchange is only 15 days for controllers. For a $200 controller, this is absurd. I could understand if it were a base controller, but come on. Having to make the claim with Microsoft :/ I never had this problem with the first series.

Good Controller
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the look of this controller and how it feels in hand; however, once you start using the paddles on the back of the controller playing a game it feels very small and sometimes accidentally clicking the wrong paddle. It is very nice for sure and I love how customizable it is, but needing to go into settings for connected devices, then to finally being able to set it all up how you want… it can be kind of annoying.

Great controller
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The paddles on the back change your game. You can play much faster with the paddles because you dont have to take your thumbs off the joysticks. The trigger locks, thumbstick tension, and thumbstick deadzone adjustments are great. Id highly recommend this to anyone who games on Xbox a lot and is trying to break their skill plateau.

Elite Controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this for the gaming son, he loves it. Holding it compared with regular controller, there is a noticeable upgrade in quality and feel of the materials. He also loves the ability to customize the travel of the back trigger/paddle buttons so you don't have to push it down as far. Feels like a lot for a controller, but it is a nice one.

One of the better controllers for xbox
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great FPS purchase, but the paddles on the back are worth it. The linger sticks youd want to use for precision aim. Be wary of your LB and RB, most elite controllers' bumpers can be built a little weak

Major design flaws.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm on my 4th Elite controller. The bumpers (LB/RB) always go bad so I would strongly recommend getting the protection plan. It amazes me how much we pay for these for Microsoft to cut corners. I won't bash it completely, there are some positives. The grips are improved over the series 1 controller. The additional settings are great. I love the customizable tension in the sticks. Overall they are really nice. They're one of those tools that if it breaks or you lose it you have to replace it right away. It's just unfortunate that everyone I've ever had one of the bumpers goes on it, and it's never the same one.
