    I game everyday for a long time and the controller has always gave me the best performance! I was really iffy about buying this one because the series 1 did not last and was messing up all the time. I got this with the 2 year protection and was happy with the feel and durability of the controller. recommend the protection because you never know when these things can go bad!

    Best remote I’ve had so far. Buttons are comfortable and easily removable. Battery life is astonishing. Days of play before battery starts to drain. Sturdy with more options opposed to the basic remote. Totally satisfied.

    I own the original elite series controller and this series 2 by far is the best Xbox controller yet. Built in battery so you can charge via charging dock via USB C and it has new customization on the triggers and the response time is excellent. It also has new grips on it and before the previous version used to peel after some time. If you are a true hardcore gamer I strongly recommend.

    Excellent controller. I bought the first generation when it came out and a Geek Squad warranty (which was, and still is with any gaming peripheral, a necessity) and had to replace it multiple times. This controller, however, they improved DRASTICALLY on the quality. Same great features as the first generation, just updated and perfected this time around.

    I’ve had three of these now and each one has had the RB button fail. I love the weight and feel of the controller but I can’t say it’s worth the price with this major flaw.

    Fresh out of the box, it's an absolute beast, but tends to show its age after a year. If you're purchasing this, do yourself a favor a get the 2yr warranty as it's notorious for stick drift after continuous use.

    First off, this is a fantastic controller to game on. The customizations, and weight / feel are as good as it gets. But the mechanical design is flawed. We bought three (2 elite, 1 elite 2). Elite thumb sticks have all failed, 2 we bought plus one replacement. elite 2 failed on right bumper, and left small Button by d pad.

      Hey there,

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. We're sorry to hear that you've experienced issues with it, though. Every new Xbox controller comes with a 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty from Microsoft so if it's still within the warranty period we recommend reaching out to Xbox Support for assistance here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,
