    This controller is possibly the best gaming controller currently to ever be made. It’s new features up to and including the adjustable tension screws give the upper hand when gaming online. Pick this up you will not be disappointed.

    Its a really nice controller. Make sure you play with the app on pc or xbox to get the most out of it. Its got quite a few options to play with and the ability to have extra profiles is really nice.

    Expensive, yes. Playing both Pc + Xbox and being able to map controller buttons. Just awesome. Plus being able to switch button profiles with one button. I haven’t had any trouble with thumbstick drift nor sticky buttons

    Loved the first generation and love this one even more. Mine unfortunately broke and getting a new one is seemingly impossible for some reason, but seriously still give this product 10 stars out of 5. Nothing like it.

      Hi Alex,

      We're glad that you're a fan of the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2, but sorry that there's an issue with it. If you haven't already contacted Xbox Support for assistance under its 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty, we recommend reaching out to them here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,

    Thought this was a good replacement for my Elite 2 I paid full price for. Just move sticks and paddle over. Problem is that the left joystick failed after only 25 days. Play about 2 hours or so every other night with friends. So this had alot less time than my scuf (that still works). I like the weight of the elite controllers. Very disappointed. Got a replacement because I am a Plus customer. otherwise I would be SOL and out $114. Microsoft quality is beginning to suck.
