I would recommend this to a friend Must have xbox controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good controller! love the customization for the controller especially the triggers and tension for the thumbsticks. Really helps with FPS games. Also like the fact I can have multiple profiles for the controller so the paddles can be for different buttons on each profile or off. Overall happy with this and the case is also a bonus, Must have for Xbox and pc users.

Best value upscale controller
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great controller and it is totally worth it. The battery last what seems like forever. I rarely have to charge and when I do it’s lightening quickly because of usb-c. If you enjoy gaming and not paying for batteries or silly pack then purchase this controller.

Best controller out there!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best controller out there. Great weight, and good quality feel. Only complaint, that some will consider a positive, is the built in rechargeable battery. I prefer Eneloop standard batteries rather than non-user replaceable battery that certainly will degrade. The prices on this has fallen so it is much more reasonable price than the original MSRP.

Feels great but buy the insurance on this
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this controller feels amazing very customizable however it does have some down sides doesn’t last long used it for 11 months before stick drift started. Widely known issue Microsoft was fixing some but not mine it was out by 2 weeks and won’t cover it. This is a very expensive investment to last 11 months with no abuse and moderate game play.

I would recommend this to a friendWhy do I need the "Elite"
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller is good but is it the best? Ill never know. I only trust microsoft products for gaming as other controllers arnt labeled "Xbox" now. Do i think its worth it? Welp. Depends lol. Do you make 360 no scope trick shots and make your controllers beg for softer less manlier hands? If the answer is no then stick to your boring, worthless less cool standard controller. If you want those cool 460 non no scope tacticular cam kill kill killers ya gonna have to shell out the guap (Money) for the Elite. But good luck cus i have more hours in games then your grandma has hours in the kitchen so trust me. The regular controller is just fine! As far as upgrades from last year it has adjustable Thumbsticks (wich is the best upgrade IMO as my 360 no scope sensitivity demands a harder tug) and other cool customizations i could care less about.

Major QC issues, but best on the market.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the Elite Series 2 controller, but the QC issues are definitely a cause for concern. I've had to RMA multiple times (stick drift, unresponsive back buttons, double clicking bumpers), but I can't go back to the regular controller.

Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 – Black
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was hesitant to purchase this controller based off the reviews, but I’m glad I gave it a chance. I honestly cannot find a single flaw on this controller. I’m not sure how Microsoft or anyone else could top this. The price is absolutely worth it in my opinion.

Thank you
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Outstanding open box buy, it was everything I hoped it would be.
