Xbox Elite 2 Remote - Core only
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love these controllers, this is my 4th one. The controller has some weight to it, it doesnt feel like a cheap piece of plastic. I play a lot of FPS games and I wear the remotes out after about a year and a half of gaming. They probably should last longer but i enjoy using them and i think for the amount of wear i put on them, its worth the money every 12-16 months. Its also nice to pick up just the remote when i dont need all the extras.

Well worth the price.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great battery life, wireless charging is amazing, and the comfort of the grips makes the controller that much better. It is much lighter than the previous elite controllers and also offers 3 user profile settings. Easy to remove paddles and improved trigger adjustments. Well worth the price!

Look elsewhere at this price
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Let me start with the positives. The magnetic analog sticks are extremely nice and easy to change, the trigger settings are also easy to use and a welcome feature, and the paddles are well placed and customizable. The controller feels premium in your hands as well. The problem is there is a noticeable amount of stick drift, the pads on the switches for the triggers are coming off, and the controller gets very warm in your hands making them sweat. Also the A,B,X, and Y buttons just don't register sometimes leading to multiple presses being required. For the price point these issues shouldn't be there. I would recommend getting a scuff controller if you're looking in this price range.

Lovely
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing controller overall. had it for 2 months and i do say it is durable since i do have a little sister who touches everything and is able to starch on things easily. i feel like there's drift at times but you can configure the controller to no do so. it's very versatile and i recommend it for its fast set up

Game changer
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Platforming in games is doable with the back trigger buttons. No longer have to take your right thumb off of the stick to jump. Wish I got this controller years ago. Though honestly I could have bought the less expensive one that does not come with the case and the other buttons.

I'm not elite
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Comparing this with the series X stock controller. A significant improvement. Good quality weight. Quality metal used. I do wish there were resistive triggers like on the PS5 or a Taptic Engine instead of a traditional vibration motor, but still a fantastic, click controller.

Top of the line!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this on PC and I find it to be a stellar controller, even more so as a guy that came from console to PC. I do use it connected and not over Bluetooth, however the responsiveness, weight, and overall feel are among the best I’ve ever used. The highly recommended this controller to any console or PC gamer!

BUY THIS CONTROLLER IF YOU WANT MOUSE-BUTTON
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far, the stick-drift hasn't killed the first one I've bought. The ability to configure and change the buttons to how you want is great. The mouse-button-click for the triggers are the best for me. And they are considerably cheaper than controllers with the same king of ideas/implementations. I do wish that Microsoft offered more colors than just 3, or the ability to change the faceplates to the color(s) that you'd want.

Awesome! Just understand what you’re getting first
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great! Just understand what it is you’re getting. This is a USB C rechargeable controller. The DPad and triggers are different. It comes with sliders on the bottom of the controller to adjust how quickly the left and right triggers are pulled. But that is the extend of the controller. The more expensive elite controller 2 comes with a charging case AND the paddles, while this controller does seem to support the paddles, it does not come with paddles or many (if any at all) other thumbsticks. The other thing I’ve noticed is some games are built for the regular Xbox controller, so even if you can pull the trigger faster, due to game mechanics, it won’t matter what your reaction time is.

Great controller get a warranty.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this controller. It looks and feels like a quality piece of kit. Sadly as good as it is I find it breaks often. Definitely recommend getting a replacement warranty on this controller. I expect a controller to fail eventually but this thing always has a failure within a year. I’m by no means hard on my controller either I in fact take great care of my stuff. For nearly $200 I’d like this thing to not have a back button that fails to register after 6 months of use. I still rate it high because it is arguably one of the best controllers ever made but it seems they cheaped out on some components.

Sets the gold standard for controllers.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I never really understand limited I'd been using standard controllers are until getting the Xbox Elite controller. With the paddles and customization I can react faster and my hands are more comfortable after long gaming sessions. Doesn't matter if I'm gaming casually or competitively using this controller has become a must.

Great controller except for 1 issue.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very nice controller, easy to adjust to your requirements. Buttons are crisp and able to be adjusted as are the joysticks. The only draw back is a known issue with these controllers, stick drift. I had to return my first one after 5 months due to extreme drift in the left controller.
