    Thought I know that eventually this controller will develop stick drift, there isn't a better alternative. This is hands down the BEST controller for pc and Xbox. You will not find a better one.

    I do not understand the bad reviews of this Xbox elite controller, but to my point of view, I absolutely love it! What I love about this specific Xbox controller is that you do not need to keep adding batteries; you can simply charge the controller. Moreover, the controller has a good battery life lasting around 40 hours. Get it!

    [Employee of bestbuy] Once you get this controller, you will not be able to go back to any other controller. It is heavy and feels so nice to hold. Quality is top tier.

    Words can't express the quality of this controller. It blows any of the other wireless controllers away with its solid construction. It has metal buttons, interchangeable joysticks and D-pad. You can fully remap the controls plus you get the 4 extra trigger buttons to use if wanted which is sweet. The internal battery is a beast! I charge my controller maybe once a week now versus every day. It really lasts 50 hours+. The grips on the controller work great, plus it's the same size as the standard controllers so it feels right in your hands. Last but not least it comes with a well built, rugid carrying case that can charge the controller while it's inside. This controller is a must have for any passionate gamer! You will not be disappointed!

    I had my doubts with this controller seeing how many people had an issue with the previous model. Everything has held up well. I would give it a 5 star if it wasn't for having to adjust everything from a memu. Compared to other cheaper controllers that you can program the padels on the fly... mid game.

    Xbox Elite 2 controller 1 month review

    Honestly I was skeptical at first, but the controller fits very comfortably and has a hight build quality. Stick drift is definitely still a thing, but with the stick tension adjustment it was easy to find a balance, unlike the original Xbox controller. You get what you get as far as tension goes. Overall great product, things I wish it had; hall effect joysticks and a better price tag (high cost).

    Real good but breaks overtime. On my 4th one and just the bumpers break after time. Not to much stick drift.

    Probably the best Xbox One/Series X controller

    This is probably the best controller out due to the level customization you can get and the build quality involved. The carrying case has a dual function as a charger to the controller's internal rechargeable battery (which is supposedly up to 30 hours of gameplay!). I use this mainly as a Windows PC game controller (I had sold my Xbox One due to barely any usage and who is ever going get a Series X with the high demand for current gen lol). The only downside I have on PC is having to constantly re-pair the controller after using it wired in order to have an Xbox headset to communicate to teammates via Discord. Even once it's paired and then you use wired once, it's as if the pairing is automatically outdated and the controller no longer recognizes the PC through bluetooth. For the price it's a little high, but save up on those gift cards and reward certificates!

    Excellent controller. Bought one when they were first available, but got stuck drift within 35 days of use. This new version is holding up very well and feels tighter.
