    Only minor issues so far. sometimes it randomly disconnects, but that's maybe once a week. Reconnect and it's fine. The sticks weren't great for navigating game menus out of the box, bit I think that has to do with the thumbstick tension, which is adjustable. EASILY the most comfortable controller I've ever held.

    Great controller - aesthetic and functional. Love the charging case. My RB sticks a bit after a year or so, but no stick drift like others have shared. Happy I bought and can never go back lol

    Best Xbox Controller. These are made sturdy compared to the plastic ones that come with the Xbox. The customizations with the back panels and you can even change the color of the center X.

    From my grandson - I love the elite series 2 controller! The case it comes with works really well and is very high quality and protective. It's very convenient that I can charge it in the case. The charger is very long to and can be used while playing. The buttons and customizations are very cool too. It adds a different feel to gaming when using the extra buttons and customizations. 10 out of 10 controller!

    If you game a lot, this is worth the price. Very high quality. Although like all Microsoft controllers, don't drop it, the bumpers aren't particularly durable. I don't think I'd recommend it for kids who might not be careful with it.

    This controller feels great in your hands and the response is outstanding. I really like the customization options. All of the buttons can be re-mapped so that you can make the controller work best for you. The charging station / carrying case is a great option as well. Just drop it in an it connects pretty much every time. If you're serious about gaming with the X-Box this is the controller for you.

    The series 2 elite controller was a major upgrade from the series 1. My series one had many physical defects, ( rubber gripping peeling off, bumpers breaking, analog stick rubber peeling off) but with the series 2 I’ve experienced zero issues. Controller feels great and really helps in all games with the paddle configurations along with trigger modifications. Love this controller and totally worth the money!

    I will say I actually got my money's worth. Buying this elite controller has stopped me from buying a new xbox controller every 3 to 4 months. It is kinda sad that a basic xbox controller comes with so many faults that it starts to drift after a while. If you want reliability and durability, save some money and get this one.

    My husband plays video games a lot so the remote gets used and abused. The remote usually last him about 8 months until it starts to have issues. So GET the warranty. For some reason he loves this remote and will only buy this remote. I don’t play video games so I’m not sure how durable remotes are suppose to be, but he’s gone through a few of them. The warranty isn’t cheap but it’s cheaper than having to buy a new remote every so often.
