    Good controller! Could be a user issue, but much heavier than PS5. Wears on my knuckles, BUT it’s pure quality.

    Feels great, looks great. Easily the worst controller I've ever used. If it was $20 I would be irritated, but $200? Buttons don't work, stick drift, and rubber grips WILL peel off over time. It really is shocking they are still selling this.

    Excellent Upgrade From Series 1

    I upgraded my Elite Series 1 and have no regrets so far. The controller feels very good and high quality. The 3 levels for the trigger buttons is a must have for any first person shooter gamers. Only concern is how the handle grips will hold up since the Series 1 had serious issues with them peeling. A bit pricey but if you're a serious gamer or game a lot this controller is worth it.

    If you like the classic feel of Xbox controllers with an upgraded feel, then the Elite 2 is for you. Though the warranty plan is recommended as most times these do start wearing out.

    Best Xbox controller out there. Been using the elite series controllers for about a year now, no stick drift on any. Huge upgrade from the default. Connects with Xbox & PC smoothly.

    I love this store because it is great price and easy to return if case you need it, about this controller it is nice weight and fits in hands nicely. I like the position of all the buttons they are easy to reach and use.

    I can’t stress this enough: buy the protection plan. I’ve read numerous reviews on some models having design flaws, stick float, etc. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE this controller, but I would hate to spend $180 on one and not have it work after the 90-day Microsoft warranty runs out. My first didn’t charge on the base, current one seems flawless.

    This controller thus far after a few weeks has none of the problems the other controllers have displayed. Usually these guys have bumpers that stop registering, or face buttons that get sticky but this unit has had none of that. Hopefully it continues.

    I bought this for my husband and i made sure i bought the product protection for it since my husband does play and uses it alot. He enjoys it. However with all the usage the buttons were not working properly anymore . We went to best buy and were able to get a replacement free of charge because we had the protection on it.
