    QA Issues but Solid Controller

    Received a defective stick. Microsoft fixed it under repair but not after sending me two broken “replacements”. Quality assurance seems to still be an issue on these elite controllers; however, once you get a solid one it’s a great controller.

    Great controller. I really enjoy the heft of this. I am using it as a PC gaming controller and prefer it over any other controller for PC gaming. There are some good 3rd party mapping software also such as reWASD which can help you get the most out of this controller on the PC.

    Love the controller. Hate that the charging port stopped working only a little over a month after purchase. Microsoft is going to fix the issue, though, so 4 stars it is.

    This was a great gift for my husband. He liked the weight and size for his hands and it has elevated his gaming experience especially with first person shooter games like COD.

    The construction is very sturdy. I only use one of the paddles under the controller but it gives you a lot of options for customization. Its a bit pricey for a controller but well worth the money.

    Elite Series 2 is King Of The Kings

    The Elite Series 2 controllers are *THE BEST* Xbox controllers on the market. Yes a bit pricey but it literally feels like you're bringing a gun to a knife fight. The way it feels & the way it holds up, along with the built in battery makes it the best of the best!

    XBox Elite Missed the Mark

    I was not a fan of this controller for one reason. First, the feel, fit, and finish is good. I wanted this tonwrk with my PC as I still enjoy using a control for AAA style games such as God of War, Last of Us, etc. Helldivers is good on controller too. For some reason though, this connected wirelessly to my PC had such lag I could not stand it. I also purchased a Playstation Edge and tried that, and it is a much better experience. The battery sucks on the Edge, but I have instant response. Not sure if the XBox Elite controller I bought was a dud, but I do see this being returned alot. Shame.

    Love this controller! I’m a tad behind when it comes to controllers but I got to say if you can get one of the elites. From top to bottom one of the best controllers out there and I’ve been gaming for 30+ years.

    I’m giving this controller 5 stars based off of the actual controller and feel of it. I’ve been using this controller for about 4-5 years now and it is my favorite controller of all time. With that being said I highly suggest the geek squad warranty because I am very clean and careful with my controllers and I haven’t had one last more than a year. The buttons become sticky or stop working and stick drift is going to happen at some point no matter what. I love the controller, but the longevity is not what it should be for $200
