Great value, had for over a year now. Starting to get a little stick drift but nothing crazy

When new, the controller works fantastically. Key phrase is WHEN NEW. This is the 3rd elite controller that I am now going to have to replace because of stick drift, sticky buttons, and the headphone jack not working. Each controller started showing these issues just a few months in. You're probably thinking "Okay no problem, I'll just pay for the Best Buy 2 year warranty, then I can get a new controller whenever I want". HAHA good luck EVER finding them in stock. THEY WON'T EVEN ORDER THEM FROM MICROSOFT FOR YOU. My controller has been a piece of garbage for a couple of months now, but can't get it replaced thanks to Best Buy's constant lack of inventory on them. I have the listing bookmarked and check daily to see if they have any in stock, and they never do. Overall I do NOT recommend this controller for any gamer. Only reason I gave two stars is the controller is very nice when its brand new out of the box. However, you will regret it when you pay this much money and are without a useable controller for months at a time, after only using the thing for a couple of months.

I have had the series 1 since it released years ago. For the price and time it felt like a good upgrade over standard controllers. I still have it but have since passed it down to my kids because the Series 2 is better. The build quality is better; the sticks are not as loose; the buttons are better and there are now 3 settings for the trigger pull. I appreciate the built in battery. The case also doubles as a charger so you can just set the remote in it and walk away. What I noticed immediately are less aggressive paddles compared to Series 1. The original paddles hung out too far for me and my fingers would bump them all the time. My only issue I have so far is connecting it via Bluetooth to my PC. I was able to finally get it linked, but it took too long and I have little faith regarding input lag. I have opted to use it wired to my PC.

Awesome. Works great. Able to game fast and easy. Replaced my last one that lasted a long time.

Love the black/white look. Matches everything else I have. Great customizable controller. Some people complain about weight. But it is just fine.

I love the controller. I love the modifications you can do for use it all the time. It feels amazing. It’s grippy and really good for the price. Glad I bought it.

Have over 10 controllers for my xbox and this is by far my favorite for value. Solid contolller ans i love the grios and the fsct i dont have to oay for paddles i dont need. I alresdy have a black wlite 2 so i can seap out paddles or parts with that kit as needed.

The controller it self is a piece of art, confortable 110%, fully customizable, feels great to the touch. Only problem so for is the Bluetooth that keeps disconnecting randomly

One of the best controllers I've ever used. Got a little over 20 months, and over 1000 hours worth of intense gaming before signs of stick drift. nice and hefty and feels like its a controller worth almost $200. The features like back paddles and trigger stops are a God-send, and are great for competitive and casual gaming. Worth its weight and if you play everyday or just a weekend gamer its worth it if you give it some love.

Love it! Excellent controller and much better than the original. After a year I am starting to get a little stick drift which is annoying

I have purchased this controller twice since it was released. The accessories that come with the controller are easy to interchange and store when not utilized. I have used the paddles just about every way you can have them, but I only keep two of the paddles connected instead of all four. I would not purchase this product without adding the BestBuy protection plan.

love it, works great, no issues with connectivity or buttons, and the textured grips make it more comfortable than the standard controllers

Great remote, use it for both my console and PC gaming. Feels great in the hand, weight is just right.

It’s an elite what do you expect 10/10 controller all around

Last about a year or so, very good controller though

The Xbox Elite Series 2 controller is the Xbox one controller at it's best. The weight and feel of the controller is superior to the default Xbox One controller. Can't go back after using this

Great item! Just like new! Best for our PC gaming

I love this controller because it’s very sturdy, and the analog sticks are robust as well. I’m glad this controller comes in multiple colors, and I do recommend it to everyone.

I had the elite v1 for a little over a year before moving to the v2. Overall, the v2 is a much higher quality controller than the v1 with only one downside when compared to the v1. The v1 used a membrane style for its button mechanisms in both the joysticks and the paddles, however the v2 uses more of a clicky button style mechanism. In the v1 the signal pulses consistently, however, in the v2, sometimes the signal stops pulsing which requires me to then reset the button by pressing it again, this behavior never happened to me when i uses the v1. That said, the membrane style in the v1 controller wore out very quickly. The v2 mechanism still feels brand new even though I’ve been playing with it daily since it was released. Finally, if i had to choose between the v1 and v2, given my post above i would still pick the v2 because of the build quality and durability.
