    My Elite Series 1 started to drift heavily, so I decided it was time for an upgrade. Ordered one of these online from Best Buy's site as I couldn't find one near me. Waited for the controller to be shipped, and I got caught up on a lot of the issues surrounding these controllers. To date, I've had multiple Xbox One controllers along with three Elite controllers. I've had a lot of issues with stick drift with the XOne controllers. As for the Elite controllers, I sold my first one that had a loose left stick I was able to fix. The second one was faulty out of the box, and the third had stick drift. I received the Elite 2 on Friday. Tested the controller and played with it a bit. The A button was not registering and would occasionally stick. Returned it today (Saturday). Came home and tested it. Looked fine, but it wasn't a thorough test. Found out while I was playing Apex that the A button wouldn't register if I pressed it in quick succession. Returned that and got my third Elite 2. Came home and tested it -- A button is not working. There's a dead spot if I press the button from the left side. I didn't think I'd go through three controllers in one day, but it looks like I'll be returning this one in the morning and playing with one of my Xbox One controllers in the meantime. I had hoped to be one of the "many" who didn't experience the vast number of issues with these controllers, but I guess I'm one of the "few."

    It looked pretty on the shelf, so I bought it. I don't play the xbox that I have, but very occasionally someone does. So, eventually, this controller will get removed from the box and used. Maybe.

    So having owned the series 1, this has some great enhancements and Microsoft listened. Major improvements is now 3 instead of 2 trigger lengths, enhancements to deeper control of the sticks, and the battery life with awesome charger. Highly recommend!

    I bought this controller to play some games on my PC and it’s incredible. I’ve paid similar prices on mouses that don’t even come close to the quality and amount of customization as this controller.

    This controller was high on my son’s Christmas list, & he has enjoyed it ever since. I also purchased one for my husband. He has not put it down since the day I bought it. If you have avid gamers in your house. They will definitely enjoy this controller.

    The elite two is so much better then the first edition, i like the fact that rechargeable battery is already in the controller it self and that it has three different button mapping settings which you can change depending on what game you're playing

    The highest quality control we I've ever purchased. Microsoft outdid their self with everything from the box it comes in. The case to protect it. And the magnetic charger and type c charge port. Feels unbreakable in your grasp.
