Durability
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Durability is a problem. Bumpers and sticks tend to be the first thing to go. However I do think while it is new it is one of the best controllers on the market.

The paddles are a game changer! And get GSP
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing controller! The custom button remapping and rear button paddles are worth it alone if you like playing games with a controller on PC, an Xbox One or Series X/S. I map most game's crouch and jump buttons to the right paddles so my thumb doesn't need to leave the thumbstick and stop aiming to perform those actions. Just be wary of any paddle mappings that are buttons that can delete characters like the X button in Destiny 2. I've heard one too many stories of people setting their Elite on their lap or on some junk on a coffee table and a paddle was pressed in for the "delete character" command, and they accidentally pressed the confirm paddle button when picking up the controller. Aside from that, the trigger stops are nice to give your index fingers a bit of a rest for repetitive trigger pulls, and with custom remapping, you can tweak your button layout in most games to emulate the layout of your favorite games. I've heard stories of some people's controllers wearing down bumper buttons faster than others, but so far, my first Elite series 2 lasted almost 2 years before the bumper wore down and I needed to replace it. Far better than the usual 6-9 months of the Elite series 1. The GSP protection is a livesaver, though not as cheap of a plan when they were first released. The 2-year warranty is currently $60, which is the cost of a normal controller to replace what would be this luxury $180 controller. I really hope we see a day where custom remapping and horizontally aligned back paddles become the norm and not a luxury. But for the time being, this is my favorite controller of all time.

Best wireless option for Xbox
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller is better than the default Xbox controller in every way. The paddles are great if you have finger/thumb issues like I do. There are basically no good wireless aftermarket options outside of this; the Scuf controller is wireless, but it runs on AA batteries, which I don't want to deal with.

Good buy, still an impulse buy.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sucks that Microsoft still makes you purchase battery paks for controllers. This is where they fall short in the console wars. However, this was an impulse buy, dang it microsoft. But it is a very good controller. It feels premium and it comes with a charge base. All controllers should be double a battery free at this point. But still, all in all, its worth it.

Great controller, but bumpers break easily
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The controller worked great, and the paddles on the back were able to work with rebinding native keys, but with the default configuration I was also able to use Steam controller configuration to rebind keyboard and mouse keys to the controller. It had everything I wanted, and it handles very well. But, after about 6 months of use, the right bumper broke, and because I didn't purchase a protection plan I now have to repair it on my own, or just deal with a broken button. I read reviews online about "just rebind the RB to one of the paddles," but come on, no one wants a broken button, and it shouldn't have broken this soon in the first place. I read online that this was a problem with the series one controller, and apparently it hasn't been fixed in the series two. If you buy this, make sure to get the protection plan, because chances are your bumpers are going to break. Other than the bumpers, I've had no problems with the controller.

If you're looking for customization - get this
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking to take my gaming to a higher level with some of the new FPS titles that had come out ie: Apex Legends / COD and I wanted the ability to preset and learn to keep my fingers on the buttons to mitigate the time I spent unable to complete important actions like aiming or reloading. The grips on this controller are amazing and the ability to swap out parts so easily is a huge plus. I've used this daily since I bought it and have seen little to no wear or lag in the aiming dead zone.

Works great!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A little difficult to get used to at first as you get accustomed to the paddles on the back, took me about a week or so but when you do, it's worth it. Now I dont have to let go of the right thumbstick to press the front faced buttons which puts you in an advantage. Controller feels great in your hands with the rubberized grips. You can easily customize between different paddles and thumbsticks. You can customize how far you want to press the triggers. Overall great controller and worth the price!!
