Great controller just has issues with stuck drift after continuous use

Still a little pricey, but great improvements and nice feel and comfort!!

The Elite 2 controller be the greatest XBox controller ever, but it suffers from the same flaws and weaknesses as it predecessor. The sticks mechanisms break down to wear and tear gaming within six months of use. Eventually the push down click on the stick intermittently stops functioning and you're screwed if the click is a vital action in a game, like sprinting or running. Creep is starting to rear it's ugly head in the same stick. And just this week one of the bumpers began intermittently stopping function or it's sticking. All of these issues should've been corrected with the Elite 2. But instead of upgrading the quality and durability of what really matters most they put more R&D into the exterior cosmetics, which I like. It's actually feels really good in your hands. I LIKE IT, but I want to love the Elite 2. It's just not what a Gen 2 premium controller that demands $30 over Gen 1, but doesn't deliver in the wear and tear department. Will I buy another, of course. And this time I'll buy the freakin' insurance. It was a Gen 2, I thought I would be better.

Good controller with good external build quality and feel. Always get the warranty as this controller is known to have issues with stick drift or buttons getting stuck. Great while it works!

great controller! lots of improvements over the previous model. comfortable and feels great

I had the original Elite Series 2 controller so I didn’t need the extra accessories for this controller. The white on black color scheme looks so dope. The cheaper price is also a plus if you don’t mind not having the paddles and thin sticks! Great controller!

Picked this up a replacement for my last elite pro which I bough about 5 years Earlier. Saved myself the money on having an extra case as the extra paddles and knobs work on the new controller.

Great controller it makes playing more enjoyable the grips allows for hours of playing

Overall this controller has been amazing. It has super high quality parts and is a step above the standard controller. I did have an issue with mine within 6 months but was able to send it into Microsoft for the warrently and gets replacement device easily. Overall very happy with my controller and will be buying another if I ever need to get a new controller.

Always a great deal with the open box items. Have used this same buy for my last two controllers, easily a year minimum of heavy use, sometimes 2 years

Great controller best controller on the market bit pricey but worth it if like to play FPS

History of remotes I've used: Razor wolverine ultimate Razor wolverine Xbox elite 1 Various standard xbox remotes The Elite 2 far surpasses all of these remote with its customizable triggers and analog sticks. The new and improved paddles on the back make for better ergonomic handling while they are attached. The improved bumpers are a great step up from the elite 1 which I have broke in more than one occasion just from wear n tear. Buy and enjoy!

Great controller. Love the feel and the weight. Expensive but worth it.

I absolutely love the elite series 2 controller. The only thing I can say is, GET THE WARRANTY!!! I highly recommend it, these things do break. We use them alot and even though they should last longer, they do not. The bumpers start going on them, joy sticks drift alot, mine drifts out of the box lol. Just get the warranty and u will love your controller, if you don't you will be out 180 bucks sooner than you would like.

Lower quality than the standard controller. Known issue with the RB/LB buttons and the joystick will drift. The buttons will slowly require more and more force to push until they become completely unresponsive. The joystick has a tendency to move the opposite direction when it rebounds if you let it go. For example, pushing far to the left and let it go, it will bounce to the right. There is an active lawsuit against Microsoft. In response, Microsoft has extended the warranty from 90 days to 1 year. This was also an issue on the previous generation of this controller. The extra warranty does me no good 13 months after I bought this. The nice part is the rechargeable battery. The customization of the joysticks and such is ok but not a major feature to me. The ability to have multiple profile settings is very useful.

Its a okay mid price Controller this is my Fourth controller from xbox Hopefully it doesn't have the same problems as last time. Stick drift and button sticking

No complaints at all, been using the elite controller for several years.

I bought this controller to play on my pc because I’m no use to play on keyboard. I would say this controller is a much better than the Scuf controller on quality. I have been using this controller and both thumbs switch hasn’t tear like the scuff. One cons is that price/value have to be lower down a little. After all I’m amazed playing on pc with this controller.

I had the Series 1 and it was definitely showing wear and tear so I decided to upgrade to the Series 2. I've only had this controller a month and there's already joystick drift that will cause the camera to pan in games. If I don't press the A button at just the right angle or have firm pressure, it don't register meaning when I tell my character to jump in game, nothing actually happens. This controller is about $150 too expensive to be having issues this early into ownership. $30 dollar controllers have lasted longer than the Elite 2 before seeing these types of issues. Of course I'm out of return policy at BB so I'd have to go through Microsoft for the exchange which is such a hassle. The good things include the feel of the controller and the battery but I cannot recommend this controller because it's having what I would consider significant issues for how expensive this product is.

Nice controller, the people who sold it to me were very helpful
