Junk, don't buy open box from Best Buy
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have barely had this controller, never dropped, I take perfect care of my items. Already the buttons don't work. Of course Best Buy is just sending me to Microsoft to get it taken care of. I will no longer purchase from Best Buy.

Over priced!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s sure a great product but grossly over priced!
I would recommend this to a friend Great controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Controller feels amazing from the first time you hold it to the thousandth time. The paddles take time to get used to but can give a real competitive advantage over others in games. Overall this thing is well designed, plays well, and the whole experience feels like a step above the rest.
I would recommend this to a friendGarbage
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Terrible and cheaply made. All of these go bad quick. the core controllers are even worse. Pretty sure made with cheap plastic

Not as good as the previous version.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Right hand thumb stick had drift within a week. Rear paddles are a separate purchase.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Elite 2
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this controller back in November started having problems with it in January. My left thumbstick wasn't working correctly when pressing up and it was turning off randomly. I tried taking it back to Best buy but they haven't had any in for months. so they're in-store customer service said I was still within the 90-day warranty to send it back to Microsoft(I have the 2 year geek squad warranty). I had no other choice so I did so received what I'm guessing is a refurbished control from Microsoft. I have had that controller for about a week and them having worse problems with the left thumbstick then the first controller after 1 week. Best buy still doesn't have any in stock so I will be forced to send it back to Microsoft again. And I guess get another refurbished control

Selling Used as New
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased what was supposed to be a "new" Elite Series 2 controller just before Thanksgiving. Controller showed obvious signs of wear and the 2 week GamePass trial code had already been used. Bestbuy refuses to do either a return or replacement curbside. Buyer beware.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Audio issues
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Audio jack isn’t working for any of my current gaming headsets and will be returning for either another elite series or the stealth ultra.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendIt’s not as great is meant out to be
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you play more then a casual player it will break on you so be ready with the replacement plan.

DO NOT BUY THIS UNLESS YOU GET A WARRANTY.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.100 days after purchase (10 days after the pathetic 90-day warranty expires) my RB started to act up, as in sometimes it would work normally, other times I'd have to really press it to register. $90 bucks for Microsoft to repair the bumper on a ~200.00 controller after 100 days, sheah. Sold it as is on eBay as is, and counted my losses.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendnot for me
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It should be the same as the Normal elite controller without all the Parts. However, when I put the sticks on from my original controller, the left stick does not click properly. Not sure why.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBad design
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the money, this product is not worth the trouble. Make sure you get the extended warranty!!!!

Stick drift
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wouldn’t recommend this controller. It feels great to use but the build quality is extremely poor. Mine had stick drift straight out of the box and I ended up returning it.

||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great controller it’s just after a while the RB button started double clicking
