Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options, along with its comfortable feel and good weight. However, a significant concern among users is the prevalence of stick drift and issues with button quality, particularly with the bumpers and A button. The price is also a point of hesitation for some.

    The bumpers will stop working after a while. I have had it for almost a year and I started having issues about 6 months in.

    Works very well and very sleek. Hopefully it will last longer than the basic controllers, which seem to have a two year lifespan max.

    Needed to replaced a well used controller. Although a little pricier, i was pleasantly surprised at how versatile the settings were and the simplicity of adjustments for most any play style. Money well spent in my opinion !!! Very pleased with this controller choice !

    Pros: customizable, sleek, very easy to use Cons: the hit sticks don't completely work. yes movement is there but the controller does not recognize when I push the sticks down. The value is there with the open box.

    Elite controller is poor quality

    4th time purchasing out of warranty. (1-3 were all the first gen elite controllers). 1st controller had stick drift even with dead zones set crazy high. 2nd controller right thumb stick was pressed and never retracted. 3rd controller the battery would die after 10 min of use (had to use wired). Decided to give a shot at the second gen elite figured they might have ironed out their issues AND NOW MY 4th has unbelievable controller drift. I will never buy a overpriced controller again from Microsoft. I’ve wasted almost 800 I’m just happy this last controller took a **** before the return date was up. It’s sad because I really loved the controller but I can only take so much abuse. I will be returning tomorrow

    I had a series 1 Elite and the only problem I had was with the rubber grips. They fixed that issue with the series 2. Very happy I bought another one. The Bluetooth option is great for connecting to your phone or computer as well.

    Took a little to get used to. Had to incorporate the paddles one at a time because the grip is kind of awkward. Longevity seems to be a issue with daily use so get the geek squad protection for sure.

    Upgraded my original Elite remote to this one and I am finally able to use the rear buttons. For some reason the original remotes rear buttons were to large/long and I would accidentally press them all the time. With the new remote they’ve improved on that a lot. Great remote.

    The Xbox Elite 2 controller is a major improvement over the first generation with refined components and built in battery. The additional thumbsticks, dpad and charging cable all stashed easily within the super nice carrying case...perfect for Xcloud streaming sessions.

    The four paddles on the back allow for quick and easy remapping of buttons. I like that I can have save up to three different versions for different games.
