Xbox elite 2
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The triggers are super cheap feeling they shift to the side when you press them and make that cheap plastic squeaking noise. The regular xbox controller feels better in hand than this one and its almost 2/3 of the price cheaper.

Series 2 no different than Series 1
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had a Series 1 Elite. Luckily, bought the Best Buy replacement package based on recommendation of the employee ringing me up. Broke in less than 1 year. Returned to Best Buy and again was highly recommended to take the money instead of a replacement as Microsoft hadn’t made the units any more reliable. Went several years with just a standard controller but always missed the upgrades the Elite offered. Upgraded to an Series X console on February 5 and decided after reading reviews on the Elite 2, Microsoft seemed to have developed a reliable version of an Elite controller. Today, June 23rd, roughly 120 days from purchase, the left thumb stick made an awful sound and now is stuck. It does not return to its “neutral” position when left go. You can feel it is rubbing on something or the spring broke. It is completely unusable. Riddle me this…Microsoft has $50-$60 standard controllers that I still have and use for all my consoles…360 Elite console, Xbox One console, Xbox One S console, Xbox One X console. I’ve dropped them, thrown them, spilled food or drink on them, covered them in the hand gunk from heavy use and they ALL still work pretty much flawlessly after what a decade in some cases? But Microsoft wants just under $200 for a controller that can’t last more than 120 days??? How is that even possible? Save yourself the hassle, if you buy the replacement policy is a MUST! It WILL break!

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.LOVE this controller, especially with the short triggers. But you need to get the wireless adapter for it, to work 100% of the time.

I would recommend this to a friendGreat for Gaming!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted this to perform better and I have! The paddles feel a little close to one another in the back but they still work very well!
I would recommend this to a friendIts blue
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Yeah, its a blue pro controller. Not much else to say. If you know, you know.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendCatch my drift
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These "elite" controllers feel substantial, but still suffer from the same "drift" issues as the regularly priced ones. This is our third elite controller. I like the non-T-bar directional pad because it feels more versatile. However, I'm sure we will be purchasing another one soon when this one, like all the others, develops drift.
