    Good piece for about 6 months, then the bumpers start to fail. It’s a long term problem with Xbox controllers which hasn’t been fixed throughout the life of the Xbox one-series x system. Controller has never been dropped and always placed in its case between uses. Still great technology, would buy again.

    Got this on sale and am very happy with it. It’s definitely an expensive controller but feels much better than regular Xbox controllers. Battery life is excellent.

    Very sturdy controller. I do have latency issues sometimes when gaming but its not terrible. I had this controller for about 2 months now and game about 4 to 8 hrs a week and have yet to recharge it.

    Almost Perfect

    While its a great controller it does have its problems. Mine worked great for literally 31 days and the right trigger started creaking when in hair trigger mode. Wasn't necessarily a big deal because it still worked BUT being the controller is 225 after tax and almost 300 with warranty (which yes, you should absolutely buy as I have it) youd expect some rigid materials that can stand the test of time and practical use. 4 out of 5 for me. If youre lucky and get a model thats perfect, its the best controller on the planet. Hands down. With geek squad protection you can just get it swapped out and continue trucking.

    Every button has an authoritative, reassuring press, but lowering to 4 stars because it's not quite as durable as you'd think. The vibration motors have begun rattling the chassis juuuust enough to where it's noticeable, and the rubber, textured grip has come loose up near the shoulder buttons. While in a different league entirely to the base controller, the Elite 2 is truly great... for ~8 months. Low-great, high-good thereafter.
