Customers are saying
Customers express satisfaction with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options, along with its comfortable feel and good weight. However, a significant concern among users is the prevalence of stick drift and issues with button quality, particularly with the bumpers and A button. The price is also a point of hesitation for some.

Excellent
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a BIG upgrade over the Elite Series 1 controller but doesn't fix all of the flaws. It warrants a five star review because it's the best gaming controller I've used (haven't tried the new PS5 controller yet).

Everything I’ve come to expect.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The time finally came to replace my series one elite. The improvements over the series one justify the increased price, especially the adjustable tension thumb sticks. Worth every penny. I’m confident I’ll get a few years out of this like I did with my series one.

Worked for 3 months - no new replacement offered
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased at the end of July '21. In the beginning of Nov '21 the right bumper and the A button both started going out. The buttons work sometimes, but do not always work when pressed. I have taken great care of this controller and have had controllers for years without any buttons going out. Best Buy won't let me swap it out for a new one because the purchase was made too long ago. It is under a 1 year warranty with Microsoft, but to fulfil this warranty I will have to send the controller off and let them perform some tests on it (who knows how long this will take during which I will have no controller). Then if they determine something is wrong with it they will send me a REFURBISHED controller. I spent $200 on this, used it for only 3 months, it crapped out, and now the best I am being offered is a refurbished replacement.. Stay away.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend - Pros mentioned:Weight
Expensive, but worth every penny.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The weight, the triggers, the sticks... everything is on a different level. Comes w a charging case & a bunch of different add ons. Justifies the price. Heard about durability issues, but I’m sure if you put it back in it’s case you should be good.

Great Controller!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great controller for any Xbox gamer. I have the protection plan on this, which I would highly recommend! I've already replaced 2 previous controllers, not because of the quality of it, just because of how much it gets used (and probably dropped).
