    Amazing controller, not one issue I’ve encountered from other reviews. Controller feels great, buttons are responsive and I love the versatility of changing the sticks and it’s tension! Would recommend for future buyers.

    One of the best controllers I've owned this far. The weight makes it feel amazing in your hands and the button customization on this version is awesome! I've bought two of these just for how much I love this controller!

    I had the Elite 1 since launch and loved it! Only had 1 problem with the bumpers in that time. This version 2 is an improvement in every way. The construction and feel of the controller is un matched and is worth every penny of the price tag

    This should be the perfect controller. Unfortunately, Microsoft really dropped the ball with overall quality on this generation. I’ve had to replace the controller under warranty twice already, and the latest replacement that I received will also be going back. Stick drift, sticky buttons, unresponsive buttons, shell separating, you name it. Cannot recommend this at all.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
