I am barely going to use this
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the pieces being held magnetically and the Bluetooth capability. The option of easily switching between devices (PC to Xbox vice versa) with the push of the same button twice is something that I never thought I needed.

'A' button has major sticking issue
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The overall feel is good, it doesn't feel cheap. But the A button sticking prevented me from gracefully climbing into my favorite camping spot in Modern Warfare. It sticks down every 4 to 5 presses. Now sold out so swapping isn't even an option, might just upgrade the grips on my elite 1 and push it back into service. Revisit this controller when the kinks have been worked out.

It WAS great.
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Yes, this is a great controller, but it still has insidious defects. Purchased in July of 2020, and now 5 months in, the left joystick drifts constantly. After further research I discovered that Microsoft has begun manufacturing a “improved” version of the same controller (model FST-00008) versus the FST-00001 version. The model I received is the latter. Most people who have purchased this seem to be experiencing the same issues. I have the Best Buy protection plan, and intend on replacing this controller when Best Buy gets it back into stock, and am hoping for the newer version.

Xbox controller
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The control is the best you can buy but if you do play a lot it will only last just under a year before control drifts and everything

Red elite series 2 controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the elite series 2 controllers. The only thing I don’t like is that it doesn’t come with the accessories pack anymore. You have to purchase that separately.

Not worth the price.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had to replace atleast 5 of my Elite controller series 1 for one reason and one reason only. Terrible bumpers. Luckily I always had geek squad protection. I was hopeful with the release of this controller and thought they would up the quality of ther high-end controller but I was disappointed. After about 2 weeks the bumpers became extremely inconsistent and started to register 2 clicks instead of 1. You can imagine how annoying that would be in a game of fortnite for example. If you’re looking to buy, I highly, HIGHLY, suggest getting the geek squad protection plan because 9/10 you will need it.

Stick drift

Nice premium controller
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very nice hand feel, reserve side buttons a nice touch. Feels good in hand even after a couple hours of sweaty palms. Comes with extras like a charger, but not really needed.

Not durable
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For a 180 controller they need to have a longer manufactures warranty. The feel and precision of controller is amazing along with battery life. However shortly after the 90 day warranty expired the left analog stick doesn’t recognize going up until like 5 seconds later. There is no physical damage , but when you go to x box accessories app it shows delayed to none reaction when calibrating controller. So be careful with this purchase because the internet is riddled with complaints on this controller.
