    My Grandchildren enjoy the faster responsiveness of this series. They seem quite impressed. For me? Way overpriced.

    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.

    Best controller but with internal issues

    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.

    Good controller. Accustomed to using a Scuff controller which is more versatile. A great option if you're not going custom.

    I bought this for my 12 yo grandson. He already had another wireless contriller that he wasn't very pleased with. He really likes this one. I think i might have scored a few grandmother points!

    The WORST controller yet.

    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.

    Great controller - haven’t even used it to its full potential yet. Response times on the trigger buttons are much better with the sensitivity toggle.

    It’s good everything works fairly well but there is some occasional delay when pressing a button and I know it’s the controller because my basic controller never has any issues with any kind of delay.

    As expected, performs well, definitely one of the best xbox controllers if not the best. Only slight complaint is the back buttons are a little stiff, just had to get used to them

    The best controller for Xbox hands down. The ease of use and modularity are amazing and things that I didn’t know I needed. I won’t be going back to a regular controller anytime soon.

    The controller is really nice, the only thing s that the placement of the paddels suck. Its really easy to accidentally push them and its makes it really hard to play with them

    If you're going to game for 3 or more hours a day and have long sessions, the Elite controller is a must. There are cheaper ways to go, but this is an excellent controller.
