Customers are saying
Customers are delighted by the controller's exceptional overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. Users also frequently praise the device's comfortable grip, balanced weight, and high-quality tactile feel. However, some customers have expressed concerns regarding the durability of the buttons and bumpers, as well as the early onset of stick drift. Despite these technical frustrations and the premium price point, many still consider it a top-tier gaming accessory.

I would recommend this to a friend Great controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Controller feels amazing from the first time you hold it to the thousandth time. The paddles take time to get used to but can give a real competitive advantage over others in games. Overall this thing is well designed, plays well, and the whole experience feels like a step above the rest.

Elite 2
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this controller back in November started having problems with it in January. My left thumbstick wasn't working correctly when pressing up and it was turning off randomly. I tried taking it back to Best buy but they haven't had any in for months. so they're in-store customer service said I was still within the 90-day warranty to send it back to Microsoft(I have the 2 year geek squad warranty). I had no other choice so I did so received what I'm guessing is a refurbished control from Microsoft. I have had that controller for about a week and them having worse problems with the left thumbstick then the first controller after 1 week. Best buy still doesn't have any in stock so I will be forced to send it back to Microsoft again. And I guess get another refurbished control

Selling Used as New
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased what was supposed to be a "new" Elite Series 2 controller just before Thanksgiving. Controller showed obvious signs of wear and the 2 week GamePass trial code had already been used. Bestbuy refuses to do either a return or replacement curbside. Buyer beware.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Rethink it
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Disappointing, Same analog response, Xbox and Microsoft need to step up their GAME.

DO NOT BUY THIS UNLESS YOU GET A WARRANTY.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.100 days after purchase (10 days after the pathetic 90-day warranty expires) my RB started to act up, as in sometimes it would work normally, other times I'd have to really press it to register. $90 bucks for Microsoft to repair the bumper on a ~200.00 controller after 100 days, sheah. Sold it as is on eBay as is, and counted my losses.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Stick drift
