No ghost drift
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Out of all of my Xbox controllers, this one has managed to last the longest without developing the dreaded ghost drift issue that plagues regular controllers

Worth every penny
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love the quality of the previous Elite controllers but this was worth the upgrade. The battery life is amazing, the weight is well balanced and does not cause fatigue. The packaging seems hefty but that is because the carry case has a battery charging. Also love that the carry case has a pass through port to charge the controller while having it protected in the case.

Very modular and comfortable. Slightly heavy
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the most comfortable controllers and the paddles are customizable. It’s heavier than expected but not shocked.

Great, but not perfect.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Responsive and Sturdy. Trouble with camera stick locking forward which seems to be a common occurrence in the series 2, otherwise would give 5 stars. Battery life is fantastic. I didn't experience any drift. Joy stick options are great, helps with precision movement on aiming etc...

Still not sure about the quality and longevity.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall feel, battery life and adjustable triggers are good and the controller feels good in hand. The only issue is the presence of some stick drift already after returning one with stick drift within just a couple weeks. One trigger is already emitting an occasional squeak that sounds like a spring ready to pop.

Awesome Controller

Cool controller
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very neat controller, it is comfortable and has some pretty cool features like being able to decide if the trigger buttons are just click buttons or if you need to be able to feather it. Can also add paddle buttons to the back. My only gripe would be it does not come with atleast a set of paddles to add.

Quality Item!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the second one of these I have purchased. My one son liked it so much that I purchased another for my other son. It's a bit pricy, however it seems that all remotes are going up in price. If you are going to spend the money and are looking for bang for your buck, this seems to be a great choice according to my son's who gain all the time.

Best controller ever bought.

Xbox controller
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not worth 200$ but what can you do when we all give in to pay these absurd prices. Still a great controller until the stick drift happens

Hesitant at price to recommend, but WAY better
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Lot's to be said: Quality is way better than the original, and the back panels are awesome. Yet you can only use the XYBA buttons with the back padels. If a PC player, you cannot have different controller profiles. Lastly and major: I have not had one controller last more than two years and I take care of my equipment. Usually, the joystick or the back top trigger becomes unresponsive. Also, of the 4 or 5 I have had at least one top button becomes lagged, usually "A". In the one I have now the right joystick does not click. No melee for me :(. Overall much a better controller than the original but if a gamer be prepared to have some hardware issues. Get warranty!

Great controller.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent controller. Feels slicker than the elite 1 at first but when you actually use it the handle area gets the perfect grip from heat. Perfect for competitive game, ei Call of Duty to get the button config just how you want it w the paddles so you dont take youtlr thumbs off the sticks

On The Button
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This works perfectly. I upgraded to this because of the buttons on bottom. The only problem I have is... the buttons on bottom. They work so well that I keep them turned off so they don't get input from my handling the controller. It's good to know that they are there, should I decide to use them.

Great remote with a few hiccups
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The remote is very good and works great for the most part except every once in a while the X button is a little iffy and when I'm holding x it says I have released the "x" button so I have to restart holding x. Other than that everything works as it should and it is worth it just for not needing batteries
