However, some customers have expressed concerns regarding the durability of the buttons and bumpers, as well as the early onset of stick drift.

    Great controller with excellent features. Only problem, is the issues these controllers tend to develop. Personally, I have gone through at least half a dozen of these controllers since they debuted. Stick drift is a gaurentee. Pretty smooth out of the box, but eventually, they'll break in and its not pretty. Bumpers usually are the next to fail. Haven't had issues with the series 2, as far as rubber grips peeling off. Microsoft has been aware of these issues for quite some time. Doesn't seem like they care, even with the looming class-action lawsuit over these contollers. For the price point, I wouldn't say these are worth it. Only reason i bought another one over the Turtle Beach Stealth, is the elite can still accomadate for the M80 mixamp for Astro A40's. For a little extra $, get something with Hall-effect sticks. They dont break as easy.

    Great controller if you want the ability to customize the settings. Once I played with the Elite, never went back to standard. Like being able to swap dpads, adjust trigger pull, and add levers to the back for additional functions.

    I bought this for my son after going thround 5 other microsoft controllers. Ive had the elite 2 for a couple of years now with no drift and since I had already paid the elite price with replacing his… this made more sense. The color combination was a nice addition— now my daughter wants one in pink

    I have a mix feel for this, seems like it’s beyond my Xbox one x, I’ve notice a little lag with input from time to time, but when it’s plug it, it’s perfect. There’s a lot you can do to tune it over the first series. Maybe there’s a update in the future for the lag issue or perhaps the X Series will be able to keep up. Of course if had a choice I would have brought another series 1.

    I absolutely love the Elite controllers and they are well worth the price. The red looks awesome and its very comfortable. Do be warned that it doesn't come with paddles so you either have to buy an accessories pack either from Xbox or aftermarket.

    Cheaper price didnt change the quality. It works great. You can use your old paddles etc. I had no problems. Everything was sturdy and tight fitting. D-pad is multi directional so obviously youd need to make sure youre tapping in the right spot or it will make it more difficult for you. I found my gameplay to be considerably smoother too.

    This controller is reasonable and works well with my A40s headset. I really enjoy the option of wired or wireless. It makes a difference. Especially, playing FPS games.

    I do not use it enough to justify buying it but it is a great controller. Customizing the length of pull on the triggers is nice and the paddles on the back are great as well. Comes with a lot of ways to adjust the controller to fit your hand the way you want it. Bottom 2 paddles get in the way of my hands sometimes so I do not use those for the most part.

    I’ve used a lot of different controllers. The elite 1 was great, but the elite 2 is definitely better. The different analog sticks are very convenient and comfortable. Grips nice on the controller. The in game settings that you can adjust are phenomenal and helped tremendously in games.
