Stay away, get a scuff
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.From parts breaking off from placing it on the charger, to the stick drift, to the bumper not working, this controller is supposed to be quality, but cheap knock off brand controllers are made better

Great while it works
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pre-ordered and was eagerly awaiting its arrival as my Gen1 had finally given up after more than 2 years of service (trigger stop broke). This unit was great while it worked. The finer hair triggers were amazing. This time it only took 6 months for the trigger stop to fail. $180 controller and it only has a 3 month warranty from MS.

Sticky thumb
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The right thumb stick seemed to be stuck and it’d make my character randomly do a 360. I know there is a fix that involves pulling the controllers apart but that’s unacceptable at this price. Build quality and the charging case were great tho but I had to return it due to the issue above.

NOT WORTH THE MONEY
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Xbox controllers aren’t made well and I thought this one would be an exception given how premium it looks and feels but after about two months the shoulder buttons quit working on it. If you ever buy an Xbox controller of any kind make sure you get the warranty on it because I promise you that something will go wrong with it in a couple of months. Im on my 5th Xbox controller now so I speak from experience. GET THE WARRANTY!!!

What every gaming controller should be like.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy use, and crisp handling. This controller is quite impressive. Yes, its on the expensive end, but its ready for the races out of the box; no additional mods/ attachments needed. Purchased for PC use, and its pretty much plug and play. You wont be disappointed.

Best buy is terrible
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had for 6 month's and one of the buttons is going out already and I also purchased the 2 year coverage and they are making me come to the store to see if they can repair it. I live nearly 2 hours away so this was just a terrible purchase all together

First one wont stay powered on!!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Anyone that has an elite 2 controller. I just got mine on the 31st. Took it out the box and fully charged it. After first time of usiing it, it cut off almost 2 min after using it and wouldnt turn back on. Thinking it didnt charge correctly, i put it hack on the charger where it sat for a whole weekend. Even the light was solid on the battery indicator. I picked up the controller last night, verified it was at full charge and it cut off on me about 15 min in and wouldnt turn back on. The only way to turn back on is to plug it in, which states its at full charge. Contacted xbox and they are sending me a new one. I went to my local bestbuy and they didnt have another one in stock and told me the only way they can get another one is if i return mine and them order the new one. I dont understand why they couldnt just order a new one and me exchange it when it comes in, but o well. Guess ill see what xbox sends me.

Not so great
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.At first it was great, we were playing like the pros then it started to switch up. The panels jammed and wouldn’t reflect what I was doing on the screen. It’s works one day and can’t even use it the next.

Button issues out of the box
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Chalk me up as another person who had issues with the A button in particular out of the box. Just very flakey response and would sometimes release when it was still being held down. Seems to be a common issue on a very expensive controller. Returned.
