    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.

    Love the controller. The grips do not come off like the series 1 controller. Live the charging dock for the controller. Do not need to worry about changing batteries. If you are a Cbox gamer, this is a must have.

    I've owned 2. Both have stopped working. Updated controllers and been on Microsoft support multiple times to trouble shoot. USB stopped recognizing the second controller. Bluetooth kept disconnecting. The recommendation was to downgrade the controller software via the Xbox console due to the windows upgrade not being compatible with their own freaking ELITE controller. So basically Microsoft makes

    Don't waste your money on this. Microsoft hasn't learned their lesson from the first gen Elite. Plenty of people have issues with stick drift, buttons no longer registering clicks, etc. My controller is about useless right now. First off, I hardly ever use this controller. I bought it for PC gaming, and probably use it once every few months. That said, it's already worthless. - The bumper buttons fail to register unless I slam them - A button often does not register clicks - No longer charges when in the case/dock, have to use USB cable Either I'm lucky for not having stick drift, or it's just because I don't use it often enough. Either way, this controller is not worth the premium. Unfortunately I am past the warranty by one month so I can't send it to Microsoft for repair/replacement. How do ELITE controllers have a shorter lifespan than the vanilla controllers? Having owned an Elite 1 (broken) and Elite 2 (broken), I will never buy another Elite controller even if it has a 5 year warranty, because it's not worth the hassle. I'll be using 8bitdo from now on.
