Great when it works
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Controller feels great when it works but the elite controller is poor quality for the price stick drift is ridiculous. I would definitely recommend geek squad protection don’t waste your time with sending it back to Microsoft to get fixed. I’ve had gone through 4 elite controllers all stick drift issues. Buy open box it’s cheaper & better deal

Ok
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are good for what they are. The controller itself is a bit heavy. The sticks have very bad stick drift after just a few months.

Option for multiple presets plus stick drift
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall the controller isn’t bad and I enjoy the ability to create multiple controller presets for different games but after a few months of use it acquired stick drift in both joysticks.

Great controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller thus far after a few weeks has none of the problems the other controllers have displayed. Usually these guys have bumpers that stop registering, or face buttons that get sticky but this unit has had none of that. Hopefully it continues.

Buy this and don't look back
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Feels polished, well put together and durable. Compared to the cheap Amazon controllers, the Xbox Elite blows them all out of the water. Is it worth 3 or 4 times more than that no-brand controller? Absolutely. You won't know what you're missing until you've tried this. Find a demo and you'll know exactly what I mean as soon as you pick it up.

Somehow, I prefer regular controllers.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The build quality is awesome and it’s a beautiful piece of technology, but there are several fundamental flaws that still have not been completely fixed in this second generation of elite series controllers. Within days I was experiencing: -Stick drift -dropped connection mid-game -delayed response in left stick input (visually confirmed in the Xbox accessories app) For this price, I would absolutely expect this controller to be perfect. Instead, I got an absolutely gorgeous controller with a lot of problems. They may not be noticeable to a casual gamer, but what casual gamer is buying a $180 controller? Three stars because I’m having it replaced and I’m hoping I just got an exceptionally bad copy. If it’s another dud, 1 Star for sure.

Xbox Series 2 Elite Controller

Xbox serious 2
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this remote for my 2 boys because they’re hardcore gamers and they love their remotes! Also get the 2 year protection plan because the remotes fragile because sometimes the buttons stick, but no worries it’s normal! Trust me get the plan you will use it and when they check it at Best Buy they will give you a brand new one on the spot!
