Many appreciate the improved battery life and the addition of paddles, enhancing gameplay. However, some users report issues with stick drift and the durability of certain buttons.

    Awesome controller. Customization is great. Love being able to change the color of the Xbox light. No AA batteries to use or batteries to buy or pack great.

    First controller I bought was a defect. Went to return it and had to spend 20 minutes listening to the try to sell me a ridiculous priced plan for protection which I kept informing I did not want but still continued to pressure me. I ended up getting basic two year plan so I could get back to my day. Don’t pressure people to buy things they do not want. I understand upsell but the situation was ridiculous.

    Overall the elite series have been a better choice for xbox only thing i wish they would change is the joysticks to the new magnetic ones to stop the terrible stick drift problem that all console makers have

    Found this on sale; it was an great replacement for my original controller. The replacement option was the plain xbox controller and once you play with an Elite it is hard to turn back.

    Good but there are better for cheaper. If you want a high end controller go for it but there are cheaper options that are just as good.

    I had the first gen Elite controller and had to have it warranted out three times. Luckily this last time the new Series 2 came out and Best Buy swapped it for the new one since the Original Elite is sold out and discontinued. The old controller would disconnect a lot and the left stick would just wander without moving it. Great upgrade and improvements

    Took me a day or two to get used to, but now I will never go back using a regular $59.99 xbox controller. It's a great remote, especially when you can charge it and not buy batteries. The price is a little too bigh but usually, they have them on clearance, which then brings it to a fair price for what it is

    I have these congrollers and love them. When they go on sale for this much, I grabbed another. Just in case I ever needed one. That’s how much I like this controller.

    Got a dud

    Pre Ordered as soon as it was announced, waited months for the release, and the right thumbstick jams... All other functions worked. The paddles are wayyy smaller on the Series 2 compared to the original, But this controller overall feels better. Also the rubber grip wont peel off version 2. The front and back shell are textured now, vs glued on rubber grips. Going to exchange for another one.

    This has been a great purchase. I bought it for my teenage son and he actively uses it for gaming. He is rough on controllers and it has been solid.

    Fantastic controller with excellent preset options, alternate triggers and battery life. Switched from buying direct ( this is my 6th controller) to Best Buy as RB inevitably fails and Best Buy protection plan is the best.

    Decided to get this controller after getting my brother one for Christmas. Sturdy, well built controller with tons of features. Absolutely love the adjustable triggers for shooting games and the adjustable tension in the analog sticks!
