Many appreciate the customization options and the controller's overall feel and weight.

Nice Controller - Developed drift after six months
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fairly decent controller. Had drift after several months and had to contact Microsoft for warrenty repairs. Microsoft upper their warrenty time frame to a year from purchase.

Quality problems
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The quality is not too much better than the basic Xbox controller, and it is much heavier than the basic controller. The reason I buy it is for its four back paddles. I do not recommend it for its quality and current price if you do not need the back paddles. I have three of them, this is the third one. Two previous ones failed at some point in a year. One has a drift stick, and the other's stick does no click. Microsoft really needs to do better job for a more quality product.

Controller Only Works for 2-3 Months
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The controller itself is awesome, but it breaks super easily. I've bought 2 of these controllers this calendar year and both give out after like 2-3 months of regular use. RB/LB stop responding or respond multiple times for each press. The A/B/X/Y buttons stop responding. This controller is great for the first 2-3 months of use, but both of the controllers I have bought have broken down after a short period of time. If you are going to buy this controller, make sure you get the warranty so that you can return it when it does break down.

Worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The price may turn some off, but the Elite Series 2 is the best controller there is. I love the customization feature that lets you have separate game profiles. Compatibility with Xbox One, PC, and later Series X makes it a worthwhile investment.

Great Controller
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great product in every way advertised. I really like the customization that you can do with this and the built in battery. You just have to make sure you can justify the additional money. For me it was worth it. For some it may not be.
