The Good, the bad, the ugly, the series two.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After needing to replace my series one elite controller, I was able to get in an order for pickup for the series two. And while I haven’t encountered any drift issues, I have a sticky/defunct A button. So now I have one dedicated paddle after doing some remapping of the paddle controls to manipulate the function of the A button. It’s not ideal, however it works in a pinch, took some adjustments on my case, as I had not used the paddles on my series one. Lucked out on the left and right bumper/trigger buttons as they all work without a hitch. I do like how you can adjust the tension in the control sticks a major improvement over the series one, though I do see this eventually leading towards drift issues, especially since I have mine pretty much as loose as possible, FPS and the like, gaming pretty much faster/wider range of motion. To that end I did get geek squad coverage, should a drift issue arise. I can understand why the price may be a no go for some, but if you’ve got a Series S/X, then why not have a controller on the same par (more or less)?

Highly recommend
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Would recommend for competitive gamers, for casuals who are just looking for a controller I’ll say this is expensive for your needs. Crazy helpful in certain games where you don’t want to constantly take your thumb off the analog stick. Great customization options like response curves, trigger and analog deadzones, trigger locks, analog tension and you can set custom profiles for specific games.

Solid controller
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Outside of the known issues with stick drift, I exclusively play Xbox daily utilizing my elite controller. The trigger settings and ability to swap out my sticks for different play styles definitely improved my game play. Heck I bought a second one for my pc

Must have for the Gamer in you!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great update to the first one. Finally uses USB-C. I can’t tell the difference in feel like some other say but you do notice a difference in the joysticks which is a great upgrade. The battery lasts about the same amount of time but I’m not a great example of this because I don’t play everyday. My only complaint is I think they are just to expensive and don’t see why they need to be almost $200. These should be more closer to $100-$130 range!

Excellent controller... for a couple months
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You just met your dream partner, they do everything you love and more. They feel great, are there for you in times of need, flexible with your needs for customization and you take care of them providing shelter, hygiene and energy. But after the honey moon phase is over you just can’t count on they anymore. They begin missing key inputs, drifting away from where your goal is and you start to think of a replacement after 5-8 months. Was your money and time worth just these great few months? This controller is awesome off the back. Being an elite buyer since day 1 it’s hands down the best model. I play daily and clean my controller weekly. However, whether it’s a series 1 or series 2 the same problems with stick drift or failed bumper input still occur. The geek squad plan is unbeatable but with consistent issues these will never make it worth the price. Recommended for casual gamer, not competitive daily user.
