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.

Superior to the elite series 1
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was hesitant to buy the elite series 2 as my elite series 1 wasn't that old but I treated myself for my birthday and was pleasantly surprised! The first one I received was defective however customer service did amazing refunding me to buy a new one.

Microsoft just fix these simple things for PC.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hardware wise excellent controller; USB-C, great battery life; very heavy, premium feel; back buttons; adjustable triggers and sticks. Several months in and I've had no issues with buttons sticking or stick drift. However, the software side of things has been, less than stellar. First of all if you have to connect this controller to your PC via USB for any reason it simply will not connect back to bluetooth once you remove the USB connection. You have to remove the controller from your devices and re-pair it. No other controller I've used on my PC (SN30pro+ and DS4) have this issue, and Microsoft still won't address it. Second, connectivity is a big issue. Not only was I getting random drop outs at different times (seemingly always in the middle of a very important part of my game lol) but it was tanking my framerates on games like Horizon Zero Dawn and Jedi Fallen Order. As soon as I switched back to my DS4 the issues disappeared. It's a shame, this controller feels so good in the hands, but software-wise is were the experience goes down the toilet. I'm now using my SN30pro+ full-time and it's hands down the best controller for PC. Hopefully Microsoft addresses some of these issues with the V3, but I've given up waiting. Also $200 and no motion controls? C'mon man. Buy at your own risk knowing that if you avoid the hardware issues seemingly everyone seems to get, the software ain't much better.

Elite Series 2
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great controller but very easy to break I’d say. I’ve had them for awhile but starting to notice some defects in under a year. Paddles help a lot for competitive gaming though.

Best controller on the market!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.By far the best controller on the market for any system! Hands down 1,000x better than standard Xbox controller and blows away the PS5 controller too. Thumbsticks have a perfect balance of smooth and tight. Buttons have a very satisfying n mechanical click. The variable triggers make it so easy to switch between a short travel for shooters and a long travel for racing or throttle based games
