    Sick of it. Firstly, the stick tension is uneven. There is always one side that has more slack than the other, and there's a slight deadspace that is taken that you can feel it gently dragging before engaging the track pad. Secondly, the button registration. This was my 3rd try at the elite 2 since it came out and I'm done. The A button in particular (sometimes others as well) WILL NOT register soft presses that aren't directly over the button. They have curved buttons, it doesn't work out well. You have to Mash the buttons if you want consistency. If you play for hours at a time this starts to hurt your thumb joints. The buttons also have varying tension as well. The one I got had a stiff X button while the others weren't. Does that sound premium to you? Just stick with the regular controller. It's very reliable and was well tested before manufacturing, these not so much. They need to figure it out

    I like the paddles but it took me time to get used to them. The controller has been disconnecting at random times every few days not sure if something is interfering with the signal. Overall I’m happy with my purchase.

      Hi there,

      We're glad that you're enjoying your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 for the most part. Random disconnects may occur for multiple reasons, including low battery and competing wireless devices. We recommend troubleshooting the problem with Xbox Support here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,

    After many months (maybe years) of my brother telling me to get this I got to say, nope...no really, controller feels amazing, not $180+ dollars amazing tho, yes...mapping, customizing, interchangeable d-pads and joysticks, ja da ja da...still not be able to macro just doesn't do it for me, for example: if you want to map a L1+R1 in one button (paddle in my case) you can't do it, while cheaper options (like 8bitdo pro2 controller) can...I just can't fathom the price tag for just the way the controller feels...sorry, it's a no for me.

    This controller gave an undoubtably edge and was a fantastic upgrade from the old elite controller. The RB and LB on the original popped out on me and a few friends. Haven’t had any concern with that with the new one. Love the rechargeable battery and the charge stand in the case.

    Not sure why but every “A” button on these controllers stick. Overall it’s very quality, but the “A” button is annoying. Had mine for some time and it gets a lot of use, but it still continues to stick every so often.

    This is a controller for my son and he absolutely loves how you’re able to customize so many different things on this controller. I recommend buying the geek squad protection

    Controller is great but tends to lag and joysticks get stuck sometimes but I’ve had it for almost two years and it’s been good so far after I fixed the joystick from being stuck

    Expensive. And was hesitant to purchase but after opening you can see where it pays off. Once you configure it you will never use a regular Xbox controller again. Took some time to setup and adjust and map the buttons but when you do it’s a natural reflex.

    Personally, I think this is way better than the first elite controller. Feels so much more quicker, smoother and more grippy for intense moments for FPS games.

    It's lighter than the original elite 2 controller. Only thing is you have to buy the paddles for the back controls separately. Other than that it is an awesome addition to my collection.
