Overpriced; poor quality control
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Quality control on these controllers is horrible. The A button fails to register. D-Pad is wobbly to one side. And one side of the controller's rumble motors is stronger than the other side. Tried different replacements from Microsoft, and all experienced the exact same issues. So I bought this one from Best Buy, and even the controller from Best Buy is experiencing the same 3 issues.

Series 2 disappointment
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cannot recommend spending this type of money on a controller. Experienced stick drift in less than 3 months. Upon sending it in to Microsoft to be repaired/replaced, the device they sent back was absolutely filthy, had damage and looked like it had been used for years and never cleaned. The poor quality of these devices and Microsoft sending out junk in return, I cannot recommend this controller to anyone.

Honest review (drift stick)
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I cant with all honesty recomend this controler. 3 days in stick drift. Like how is that even possible. If your a sweat player like me this controler will break down and have problems garanteed. Watch vCuda on youtube for an honest reviewer of this product too. I love everything else about this controler though.

Avoid
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have now ordered 3 Xbox elite series 2 controllers and all of them have been defective. The issues have consisted of the controller constantly disconnecting from the console after being connected for 5 minutes, joystick drift, and buttons not responding. I have tried over 3 months to get a controller that works properly but each time the controller has issues straight out of the box. Customer support has been great with working with me to return the product each time but after 3 tries, I will not be ordering this product again. Until Microsoft addresses these issues I would not recommend this product to anyone, especially at the price you have to pay to get it.

Heavy w/ Uncomfortable grips
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was using a Nintendo Switch controller with my PC, but due to drift issues, I decided to upgrade to this controller. The controller easily connected via Bluetooth to my PC. When initially trying to use in-game, pressing the A button resulted in a settings menu for the controller to pop-up, causing game play to be impossible. After some internet research, I was able to remedy the issue in about 10 minutes. I played with this controller for one evening, at the end of the night my hands hurt from the heavy weight and larger indents in the grip (in comparison with the switch controller I am accustomed to). Due to this, I have decided to revert back to my switch controller for the time being. I understand this is supposed to be a high quality controller, but the pain caused after use was enough to deter me from using again. Overall I was bummed this controller didn't live up to the hype for me and was not worth the purchase.

Piece of s?!t
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an open box that said in excellent condition practically new. It wasn’t at all. It was very scuffed and there’s something loose inside the controller. Pair button doesn’t work. Very disappointing

Poor quality for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second controller I’ve gotten from Best Buy and it has problems yet again. After a few days of use, the sticks become loose and get stick drift. There are good qualities of the controller, but there’s a lot of unsolved issues. You HAVE TO buy an extended warranty because these cheap parts break so much. Poor quality for the price, the sticks on my default Xbox one controller never loosened after 3 years of use.

Do not buy this
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This has to be the biggest waste of money ever . This is now the second elite 2 controller i have owned the first had a broken right bumper after continuous use and the replacement i bought has a broken button on the back and wont work unless i pound on it with pressure . Why is something that costs 250$ With the protection plan so broken ? Way to go xbox . You really out did yourself .

After a few months, I’ve already got to send it in
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It took a bit to get use to the grip difference (despite the texture, my hands slip more on this one than the regular one. Weird). But once this controller grew on me, I loved it. THEN just 2-3 months after using this, my R1 button has stopped working. So I’ve got to take it in to see what’s wrong. If I get a new one or this fixed, I might recommend it. But it’s annoying to spend so much and it already be messing up.

Not for me
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller might be good for a professional gamer. It just wasn't for me. I'm so use to the old controller, the paddles just made it more difficult for me. So I returned it.
