[Employee of bestbuy] Elite controllers are amazing you just need to get the protection plan for any problem that can occur from use of a controller like stick drift

The down directional button doesnt work properly. I will habe to send it in to be repaired. This isn't really Besy Buy's fault. It is Microsofts fault though. Where is the QA testing durijg manufacturing?!?

I had the previous Xbox Elite controller and really liked it. It’s rubber would wear off which I’m guessing may happen to this one as well. The reason I only gave 4 stars is because you can not change out the batteries on the new model. The whole controller has to be charged. I’d prefer to have a rechargeable battery pack and still be able to use normal batteries.

Excellent Functionality and customization, though it is very expensive, the price jump over the original was a bit unnecessary. the rubber grips are a big help for sweaty gaming sessions, and the rechargable battery is a nice touch, although it is a shame that it is built-in and non removable.

Best controller ever. No more batteries. Love the customization

Nothing more need be said than I love this controller! I use the paddles underneath to make actions like sprinting and melees easier to perform. I have 4 separate setups -- 2 PCs and an XBOX X and an XBOX S. This controller completes the set (4th one). I use it and another one wired for my PCs and wireless for my XBOXs.

Overall the controller isn’t bad and I enjoy the ability to create multiple controller presets for different games but after a few months of use it acquired stick drift in both joysticks.

Really is of the best controllers I’ve ever used. Totally customizable.

Great controller however I have had to repair it myself a couple of times due to dust build up on certain buttons but very straight forward the customization of it is unbeatable.

I like the idea of a customizable controller, but this feels out of my league honestly. A+ idea with C execution unfortunately. A controller with this price has to be perfect. It really wanted to like this.

Perfect buy, charge lasts a long time recommended choice

I have been using the Elite series of controllers since gen 1, it is nice to finally have a cheaper purchasing option than the $180 original gen 2 with the case and charging base.

Best controller I’ve ever used way better than the first generation no separation in the padding and almost no stick drift even after weeks/ months of use I generally replace mine once a year anyways but this is amazing

If you game a lot, this is worth the price. Very high quality. Although like all Microsoft controllers, don't drop it, the bumpers aren't particularly durable. I don't think I'd recommend it for kids who might not be careful with it.

Best controller I have owned so far. Stick drift did occur, but I am tough on the left joystick. It’s currently being replaced via warranty and lasted longer than most others have. I also like the removable paddles on the back as opposed to ones that are built in. Some games not all 4 are needed and the others tend to get in the way.

Microsoft has done a great job on the 2nd gen elite controller. My only problem with the 1st gen were the grips and they've completely rehauled them here. They don't feel as tacky at first touch but once I start to play I actually much prefer the grip on the 2nd gen controller. Overall the controller feels much more solid. A little more compact grip which has proven much more comfortable over the last month.

Absolutely the best controller for Xbox I love this thing it does everything tension the sticks for better aimed shots triggers for extra buttons I use mine for melee get it you won’t regret it it feels great in the hand true premium quality

Its such a nice high quality controller. The only thing I dont like is the Dpad. Not ideal at all for fighting games. But very customizable and great for casual games otherwise.

I know there have been a lot of backlash on this controller, and I can't comment on durability. I have enjoyed it a lot, and having extra paddles helps with playing games, so you can keep fingers on thimbsticks. Adding the 2 year protection plan from Best Buy also makes my mind at ease with durability. I would only buy it at best buy.

Very good quality, very customizable huge advantage over regular controllers.
