Nice upgrade
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I owned 3 Series 1 Elite Controllers. Those 3 were fine. I had no problem with them. This version is a slight upgrade to the Series 1. I enjoy the customization of changing out the paddles and D pad. I would recommend this controller to the hardcore gamer only.

Last about a year
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ive bought about 5 of these over the years and every single one had the left or right bumpers stop working after about 8 months to a year. Getting the best buy warranty makes the next one only $60 but its getting really annoying having to buy another one every year. But besides that its a decent controller if you want paddles.

Xbox Series 2 elite controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is a great heavy controller,but it a shame that this controller with the high price tag has issues and I needed to get the extended warranty Mine had issues with left stick wandering and right bumper reacting slowly. I like the built in battery though. So I had to go to Best Buy (I did set an appointment) with the Rep on phone said controller was in stock.of course no controller In stock.best buy was going to give me store credit,but finally said they can order me another one( I had to rebuy the warranty again) Prior to this I called Microsoft and their warranty on this controller is only 90 days so extended warranty did help from Best Buy

Great controller. Easily gets stick drift
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So I LOVE the elite controller. It’s great to use, has great features, and feels so comfortable. Definitely prefer it over the regular controller. I have had 2 in the last 3 years though because it is known for how easily it gets stick drift. I basically only play FPS (apex specifically), and the stick drift happens randomly and seems unfixable. Luckily, there is a warranty with microsoft for this so you can repair it but you shouldn’t have to repair a $200.00 controller that is always taken care of (placed in case every time after use and never dropped).

Plug and play with old parts
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good. The old elite 2s bumpers and paddles would go out on me playing fortnite competitively so hopefully these ones are more durable.

Great controller!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great controller. Customizable in many ways, with my fav being the ability to make the triggers into hair triggers with a simple switch on the bottom of the controller. I love that it's rechargeable and contains the built-in charger in the carrying case.

Perfect Upgrade for Controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Exactly as advertised, a very versatile controller for XBox One with swappable joysticks and D-pad along with paddles and hair triggers on the back. Excellent battery life as well and comes with a great case to store the extra swappable parts, paddles, and charging station.

Great controller
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Buy the warranty. This is my 3rd elite 2. Phenomenon controller but they get stick drift after months. The second one I bought did not even get much use and got it. Best Buy has been great with honoring the warranty at least.

Could have been Great!!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great Controller for playing on Xbox but with an asterisk. If you want to save your money get the protection plan as the controller will inevitably fail. I am on my 4th one now and so glad that I always get the protection plan.
