Good improvement
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good improvement with the battery and Bluetooth. As far as “physical” upgrades go, if your gen 1 Elite controller is still performing well, then keep using it. This is for those who need to replace their gen 1 or for those who are looking into getting an Elite controller for the first time.

Feels great - not $129 great - but pretty great...
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great hand feel, good response, and nice looking. Be prepared for some weird glitches starting out if you use this with a PC and Steam and Windows 11. I've seemingly settled mine down, but when I first started using the controller, hitting the "A" button would open the Xbox game bar...usually in the middle of the game I was playing...usually at the worst possible time. It's a known issue that has mostly been sorted out. That said - the first time you run into these kinds of issues will sour you a little on the controller. Price point is too high. This is an $70-80 controller in my opinion. Still good - just spendy and can have a lumpy first use experience for PC users.

Plagued with manufacturing problems
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First off, I love this controller. This and the Series 1 are phenomenal. Problem is I've had to return it twice and the Series 1 (6 times). First Series 2 purchased in October, problems started in January. I dealt with it until March. Returned for refund because they were backordered. Got a replacement on June 5, 2020, same problem started on June 11. Returned. Didn't buy another one. The problems I encountered are as follows. Stick Drift. After using controller, I set it down and approximately 10 seconds later, the cursor would move on it's own. This was also a problem on the Elite Series one which I had to return about 6 times over 3 years. That's ridiculous. And to think the Series 2, costing $30 more than the Series 1, has the exact same issue. A second issue I had was sticky ABXY buttons. One press might register multiple presses. This started out of the box and I was hoping for a firmware upgrade to fix the issues. If Microsoft gets their manufacturing issues sorted out, I'd purchase again. If not, I will not be buying another one. And I do not recommend It.

Pretty good

The customizable things you can do to your button mapping is insanely good for when I want to switch up my settings for the distant toes of competitive games I play.

Great Present for a Special Grandson
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Better than ever.... so I'm the grandmom for a gamer that just turned 17 on the 4th of December. He absolutely loves this controller and sent me a screen shot saying "I need this". So I certainly know that he researches things awhile before he asks me and he is very happy with it.

Game like a proish
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great controller love the weight. Only thing I don’t like is that sometimes while gaming the sticks will start to unscrew mid gaming. Make sure you keep tight with the tool.
