||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It didn't come with all of the parts needed and the controller itself was really greasy as it had sat out in the store.

Hopefully some internal improvements
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased as a replacement for another elite series 2 that bumper buttons wire out on. Hopefully internal component quality is better. Had better luck with the original elite controllers
I would recommend this to a friendGood, reliable controller for the most part
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had it for about a year and it’s served me well but the left toggle has already stopped working properly as of a couple of days ago. Overall I love it and I’ll be getting another one. Hopefully Microsoft has improved their parts for it.

Wonderful Controller Terrible App
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really nothing bad to say about the controller. But the app to configure it s TERRIBLE!!!! Its laggy, takes forever to load and sometimes completely crashes the xbox; I’m currently staring at a black screen because I was trying to use the app to configure the controller.
I would recommend this to a friendPerfect
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great controller, precise movements, color doesn’t fade away
I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Stick drift
Stick Drift within one year is unacceptable
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This version developed serious stick drift within a year. The all black version has never had that bad of an issue.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend - Cons mentioned:Stick drift
Stick drift
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It comes out of the box with stick drift, albeit can be fixed by setting a .1 dead zone. No other controller I’ve had needs this high a dead zone to work in fps games brand new. Controller is great for rpg’s, but get another option if you mainly play fps. Other than stick drift, the build quality is excellent. Back buttons are perfect. Customization options are 2nd to none. The drift was just a dealbreaker for me.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend - Pros mentioned:Overall performanceCons mentioned:Price
Just buy it
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best controller out there. I use it for PC games. It's expensive, but you're not going to find anything better.
I would recommend this to a friend Best controller but with internal issues
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hands down the best controller on the market, but the durability is not great for the price. This is my second elite controller and my last one only lasted 6.5months and developed “drift” in the left stick. This is where there is a delay in the controller registering moving forward causing a delay or causing the stick to get stuck in that position. And come to find out Xbox only offers a 6 month warranty and it costs a $100 out of warranty to send it back with no eta on when you will get it back. So ended up buying a new one but adding the $40 for the geek squad protection so I won’t have to deal with Microsoft and their awful customer service going forward bc sadly I can’t go back to using a standard controller.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGreat controller
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The controller really helps with competitive games like shooters. And the choice of different custom profiles makes it very easy to change your settings for each game you play.
I would recommend this to a friendGood for a year or so.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really an amazing controller... for the first year or so. The combination of the balanced weight, texturized grip, and upgraded button placements, with traditional xbox shape and feel, truly makes this a great investment for mid to high end gaming, or just to bump up your game play. This was my first upgrade from a normal controller and can never go back. The sad part, is this is my 3rd controller. After about a year or so, some of the buttons stop working, thus making it useless.
I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Button quality, Stick drift
The WORST controller yet.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Now, I WILL say the new features are fantastic. Being able to program the paddles as "Shift" buttons, the adjustable tension sticks among other things...but it still doesn't redeem the fact that the build quality is HORRIBLE. I'm on my FIFTH S2....yup, number 5. Drift, sticky buttons, disconnections or worse ALL out of the box. It's unbelievable how Microsoft has messed up a great opportunity.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Controller
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Helps me play my game so much better. With better shifts and easy access to buttons.
I would recommend this to a friendPaddles are a game changer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The customizable back paddles are clicky, Confortable, and good quality, the only downside is battery, it can't be changed once the lifespan ends.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat to step your game up, literally!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect controller, was hesitant to buy but the adjustability on them was way more than i imagined

||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The controller is great and Microsoft is currently making it more repairable so if you get it, you’ll have it for a long time. but I would look out for elite series 3 soon
