Improvements from Series 1
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this for my son. He has the series 1 and said that there have been some improvements to it in this version. Something about the share button and the trigger having three depth settings so you can use it at a faster rate.

I would recommend this to a friendPro controller
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Please get the warranty it’s a life saver. I love the feel of this controller however it will brick after 5/6 months of moderate use.
I would recommend this to a friendGood overall
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good overall but the first one I got had a big dead zone in the stick. This is possible with any controller. Also prefered the size of the back paddles from the Elite 1 controller.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat All Around Controller
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Solid controller for playing any game all day long. The interchangeable thumbstick and paddle shapes allows you to customize the controller any way you like. A must have for shooter games. Also come with a great carrying case.

Poor quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had a few identical models, and they all suffer from drift within days of use and broken bumpers after a few months
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Great Controller
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My grandson is in love with this controller! We had a small problem with it after a few days. BestBuy replaced it immediately and with absolutely no hassle!
I would recommend this to a friendGood but heavy.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like this controller but it was too heavy for me. After years of using a Scuf with no rumbler packs, I did not like the weight. Too bad because I was looking forward to using this controller more.
I would recommend this to a friendgood Hardware, SERIOUSLY FLAWED software.
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The hardware is good. But the Software needs SERIOUS work... Connecting to this controller is a nightmare if you expect it to work seamlessly between different connection types. If you have paired the controller with Windows, it's fine. But if you need to configure the buttons using the Windows App, you need to connect it with USB. And doing so, pretty much deletes the wireless connection. you will have to delete the controller from your Bluetooth Devices, and then re-pair EVERY SINGLE FREAKING TIME you do this. Seriously flawed.

Posted .Hello there,
Thank you for sharing your feedback on your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2.

Elite Controller
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the first time I have bought an elite controller and I love it. It does take some getting used to the back paddles but I would say it is worth it for games.
I would recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Overall performance
Great controller, but...
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best controller for Xbox, but always breaks. Get the extended warranty.
I would recommend this to a friend Great for all games!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With the toggles on the back, it frees up your thumbs for all movement. Great for FPS games, but also find it useful for Elder Scrolls Online, Smite, etc... Highly recommend for all gamers, don’t have to be a pro to use this controller.
