Worth money/investment.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent controller. Map paddles on bottom to any other button or remove them. Feels solid/dense, unlike classic controller that feels hollow/weighless. Worth the money.

Get what you pay for
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Yes, the price point of this controller is quite steep at first glance. But if you even know what an elite controller is/capable of doing, you realize its much cheaper than a custom Scuf with the same capabilities. I use mine for FPS games and couldn't be happier. Had Elite V1 and bought this, happy with both!

Elite Series 2 is King Of The Kings
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Elite Series 2 controllers are *THE BEST* Xbox controllers on the market. Yes a bit pricey but it literally feels like you're bringing a gun to a knife fight. The way it feels & the way it holds up, along with the built in battery makes it the best of the best!

Good Controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this controller to improve my gameplay. There is a bit of a learning curve at first. Once you get this controller it's hard to go back. My controller works fine out of the box, but the headphones make a buzzing noise with this controller. Its a good controller.

Same ol trashy junk controllers Microsoft puts on
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall the controller works good but within three months of my purchase the RB button is already starting to stick and not work, it works sometimes but only when I press it hard, if I lightly press the RB button it does not work, so definitely make sure you purchase the warranty on this controller. It's $45 for 2 years and it's worth it because Microsoft does put out junk controllers and this is probably the best of the junk controllers they have out of their junky controllers.....that's why Microsoft is in a class action lawsuit right now for putting out trash controllers I literally have nine controllers on my shelf that do not work, I have three kids and I'm on my 10th controller.

XBox Elite Missed the Mark
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was not a fan of this controller for one reason. First, the feel, fit, and finish is good. I wanted this tonwrk with my PC as I still enjoy using a control for AAA style games such as God of War, Last of Us, etc. Helldivers is good on controller too. For some reason though, this connected wirelessly to my PC had such lag I could not stand it. I also purchased a Playstation Edge and tried that, and it is a much better experience. The battery sucks on the Edge, but I have instant response. Not sure if the XBox Elite controller I bought was a dud, but I do see this being returned alot. Shame.

Best Controllor Ever!!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The extra back triggers are great and easy to remove the thumb sticks or buttery smooth, the rubber grips are perfect for long gaming sessions the adjustable triggers it’s super easy and quick to switch. The keypad is very clicky, but surprisingly good for 2-D platformer‘s. it has quickly become my go to controller For everything but couple emulators or motion controlled games given the lack of it at this price. I would definitely get the case again I only with for how much I spent i would have gotten the color custom one for 40 more but also glad to have not spent 40 on a different color and custom engraving

Much Improved then the Series 1!!!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I owned the Series 1 Gears of War 4 edition and I loved it (until the grips came off). With the Age of Quarantine, I have been gaming a lot more and really missed my Elite. So when i had a chance to buy this, I could not press "Add to Cart" any quicker!!! Yes...it is expensive, but it is worth it.

Great controller if price matched/on sale
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A definite improvement over the base controller physical customizations are good as well as the software customizations. Rechargeable battery and dock are nice too. GameStop had it for 139.99 so I price matched
