    Elite controllers are terrible and unreliable

    I have owned three elite controllers since they came out. I have owned two series 1’s. A first gen and another about a year later (hoping the bugs were worked out). The first had the button sticking issue they were all plagued with. The other had trigger issues sticking/not responding as well as the menu buttons not responding. Both of these were returned. Now I own one of the series 2’s and they’re just as bad. I bought one and immediately had to return it. It had some sticky black rubber stuck on the right stick that locked the stick up. The one I have now works but it is not worth the price. Absolute waste of money and I will not be buying another. The controller that comes with the console lasted longer.

    When I bought this controller, I wasn’t sure if it was really all it was cracked up to be especially since I’m so used to the standard Xbox one controllers but let me tell you, I will never use any other controller, it feels great in the hands, the build construction is perfect and the battery life is even better, not to mention but the case and the extras are pretty sweet!

    This is is my 2nd elite purchase. As with all controllers there will be wear and stick drift, but I can’t think about playing with something other than an elite.

    Great controller. Like the heaviness and grip-no slip and the price is reasonable compared to other controllers. Also like the longer triggers. Helps

    Elite w controller exchange.

    I play roughly 10-12 hours a week. It’s the simply the best. Buy the protection plan! one of the buttons will eventually go bad, I have used both versions of the elite controller and after an extremely slow/painful exchange that took almost two months to return to me I’m working order. I had geek squad on the second elite controller and could not feel more justified in a purchase. Stopped into a store, person helping me went and grabbed a new one off the shelf and I was out the door before my appt was scheduled to start. The controller quality is unmatched but hinders the durability, buy the 2-3 year protection plan.

    Best Xbox Controller There Is

    I have nothing bad to say about this controller. I realize some people in the past have had issues with their controllers breaking down. I have not been one of these people. I owned the Series 1 and loved it. Not with the Series 2 it has only gotten better. I think it's leap to say that it is drastically better, but it's defiantly better. I think the grips are nicer than the Series 1. The paddles feel tighter, which I like. And having the ability to adjust the thumb sticks is very nice. This is a solid, well built controller. But I will also say that if you hare happy with your original controller, you do not have to spend the extra money on one of these. This controller is a "want", not a "need".

    If you're an fps player, back paddles are sure to elevate your gameplay. The controller feels good in the hand, has good connection, and comes with more attachments than you'll need. Get two so one can be in the shop, because they have several known issues like bumper sensors dying and stick drift. Even with that, I still don't want to go back to regular controllers.
