    Understand that this product can come with issues. I recommend insurance on this product for easy exchange. Use the hell out if this remote. If you don’t and don’t have insurance you make see issues down the road and it may have issues when it’s out of manufacture warranty. I believe Microsoft recently increased the duration of their warranty but sending things to them and getting them back can take a month

    No complaints. I went from power a to this, and it was the best decision. And I play 300 hrs a month, and no I’m not kidding.

    The elite 2 controller is amazing. Why could you charge so much for less . If you buy this controller the (CORE) version. You have to turn around and spend about another 150 for the extra buttons . Now if you buy the black elite 2 controller you get a carry case ,all the extra buttons ,and charge dock for it . Almost forgot and the black on is cheaper then the white one and you get more for a better price . I have both controllers this core still in box just havent had time to take it back

    So I’ve had two of these now. Replaced my first one under warranty. The first 6 months this controller is awesome... then it just breaks down, from buttons that stop working, the thumbsticks drifting and it looses connection regularly even with a full charge. Multiple resets and keeping updates on this controller, still have issues. I have the besbuy extended warranty and was told the only thing I could do is to wait. Either wait with a gift card or just hit the buy button when the unit is back online. Why not I turn it in and get my name in line like we do with our customers at the place where I work. Bestbuy is dying business model because they stopped caring for any member.... Ugh... so frustrated.

    This is definitely a step up from my basic controller. It is a big investment but for what you get, it’s worth the cost.
