Great controller poor quality
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ordered this controller it when first came out one of the rear paddles just doesn’t register when pressed that one paddle worked when it wanted to, ended up returning and ordered a new one that I’m waiting for again. Software on the controller is a big improvement over the original. Tigger locks can register full pull while locked. The app is easier to set up the controller. Also has 3 profiles plus default.

Buyer Beware Open Box
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this thing open box "excellent" condition. The left stick was half broken, it wouldn't click down all the way when you tilt it. The right stick already had drift. Only reason I'm giving it two stars is because the return was so painless.

Bad Product
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I want to like this controller but I don't. The buttons don't register half of the time, stick drift happens too often, and the price is off. To replace it, means having to wait for another one to come from Microsoft or shell out a lot of money.

Reboxed, not open box.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Open-box. Perhaps my understanding of Open-Box is skewed. Historically, those items are in the original manufacturers box, and otherwise like new. The item I received was reboxed in a generic cardboard box. When I checked warranty, the item had no warranty via Microsoft. While it was less expensive than a new controller, the trade-off was not worthwhile, so I returned it. It did not appear to have any defects.

Sad Microsoft. Left stick drift after 36 days
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this in 9/17/20 and on 10/22/20 I have left stick drift. SMH Microsoft I cant be buying $60 warranty every month. I consider myself a casual and average gamer. I play battle royale once every couple of days and for maybe 3-5 hours at a time. Unacceptable *Note the microsoft only offers 30 manufacturers warranty. You need the best buy warranty if you are going to get this

Okay, but poor life
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Product is nice, the first year of use is great. Having access to extra buttons is convenient. However this controller is way too expensive to only last roughly two years. I am a moderate gamer and disappointed to get so little play time out of the controller.

Terrible
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I understand that it was a open box, but having stick drift that bad on a controller that should’ve been recertified tested and tested again it’s pretty ridiculous

Poor Craftsmanship, apparently!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was very happy to get this Elite Series 2, as the first Elite Controller was fantastic. After using the Series 2, I noticed that the ergonomic design had improved slightly over the last iteration. HOWEVER, after using the controller for less than one full day, the paddles on the back of the controller stopped functioning. I tried updating the controller - no updates available. I tried turning off the controller and then powering it back on, to no avail. I then restarted my console, thinking "perhaps that will work." Yet again, I was disappointed to find that the controller's paddles still do not work. $180 down the drain, since my controller is not returnable anymore. I purchased it in advance of the Series X launch so I'd have it when my new console arrived. I guess I won't ever purchase accessories that far in advance again!!

Great controller, still has standard issues
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great controller and feels very solid. Unfortunately, it still develops the joystick drift that I have had an issue with on all other controllers.
