    Microsoft's Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 has a not only a premium feel as noted by other reviewers, but also a quality appearance. Optional buttons and adjustments that be made to the controller only add to a stellar gaming experience. Price point might be considered a bit high, but definitely worth it if it can be purchased at a sale price.

    The control controller is all right. It works well. I like to custom ability of it, but the LB/RB button stop working sometimes and it gets stick drift after a while. I had a black one that got stick drift, and the LB button stopped working.

    Really cool controller. Takes a little bit to get used to with all the pedals in the back but very useful once you get the hang of it. Cool features being able to interchange the buttons and super smooth movment of the joysticks. Great for gamers or if you're trying to take your gaming to the next level. A little pricey but worth it if you're an avid gamer.

    I recently purchased the Xbox controller, and I must say it offers exceptional build quality and premium materials. The controller feels robust and comfortable in hand, and the adjustable trigger settings enhance the gaming experience. The included case is a nice touch, keeping it protected on the go. However, my experience hasn't been flawless. I've had to return it a few times due to joystick drifting issues, which is quite frustrating. Additionally, the controller comes with a premium price tag, which may be a deterrent for some buyers. In summary, the Xbox controller boasts impressive build quality, materials, and design, but the recurring joystick drifting and the high cost make it a mixed investment.

    Bought this as a gift for my husband (why). He loves it but that means I'll never see him again since he will now be a gaming master with this controller. He said this is the best controller option for xbox. It definitely expensive in my opinion but it provides more options and setting for the "everyday" gamer.

    I occasionally use this Xbox controller, but it feels great in the hands, with it's rubber handles. The omnidirectional D-pad is made of metal. Overall, this controller feels better than the stock Xbox series controller.

    Great controller! 2 months in and no stick drift. Very tacky grip which is an upgrade from original elite 2. Purchased the scuf triggers and made a world of a difference with the response!

    Great feel but still suffers same issues from the first elite 2 controller. I’m a competitive gamer that used this controller pretty heavily. Within 5 the months of use, the R1 and L1 bumpers experienced loss of function. Pretty frustrating. I did get the insurance and got another one for replacement. It did fall under the Microsoft warranty but in the past, I didn’t have a good experience with them. Takes days to receive the controller and they didn’t even fix the problem.So if you plan on getting this controller, I highly recommend getting geek squad insurance. They’ll replace right on the spot. Still a solid controller for gaming.

    Higher Cost=Poorer Quality

    I never do reviews, but I guess I’m starting. I love these controllers. Works perfectly on Xbox or PC + paddles. But. As the price gets higher the quality becomes more of an issue. 3rd controller that has fallen apart, this one did last a good year and a half which I’m happy about but this controller specifically the grip around it absolutely wears out before the first year of use. 2 of the controllers I’ve had plastic breaks inside the controller without raging being involved (hasn’t effected use). The response mechanism for the triggers is probably the worst, maybe works for a week and wears its self out unless you’re super soft on the triggers all the time. It’s just no longer worth the cost when it seems it’s only designed to last until the warranty runs out. I don’t care to buy new controllers obviously but “premium” controllers should be able to withstand heavy use and not naturally fall apart within a year. IMO.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
