Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options offered by this controller. Users frequently highlight the comfortable grip, balanced weight, and high-quality feel during gameplay. However, some customers have expressed concerns regarding the long-term durability of the buttons and the potential for stick drift. Additionally, while many appreciate the design, some find the premium price point and specific bumper functionality to be areas for improvement.

    Breaks way to easy for the price after a few months stick drift and imputs not going through any $60 controller will be better only plus is the integrated battery and weight feels more luxurious being heavier.

    I am a big fan of the series 2 elite controller. I am excited to give this to my son for Christmas. The one I have for myself is great. This was an amazing deal for an excellent condition open box item.

    I continue to buy this product even though I know it is going to break within the next year. Have had bumper problems and sticky A button upon purchasing multiple different Elite Series 2 controllers. Ulitamately if you still want the advanced controller features, you'll learn to deal with the controller and consistent returns.

    A must have for an Xbox gamer. They made a lot of adjustments from the first series. I love having 3 presets now, as well as the extra trigger locks. Being able to adjust the joystick tension is amazing!

    Thought this was a good replacement for my Elite 2 I paid full price for. Just move sticks and paddle over. Problem is that the left joystick failed after only 25 days. Play about 2 hours or so every other night with friends. So this had alot less time than my scuf (that still works). I like the weight of the elite controllers. Very disappointed. Got a replacement because I am a Plus customer. otherwise I would be SOL and out $114. Microsoft quality is beginning to suck.
