My Daily Driver Controller, Can't Play Without It
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the controller, it is amazingly effective and feels great. However, I had to purchase a second one after the first one started having problems after a year. Love it though so bought a new one at full price. Would only buy if you won't be hurting after your 200 controller starts to break down in a year. Use it for Halo, COD, and Skyrim.

Great controller steep price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely LOVE this controller. There are negative reviews for it though with buttons sticking and bumpers breaking but tbh I just think some people don't treat their belongings very well. Ive had no issues and love how easy it is to use. The back paddles do take some getting use to but once you do its very hard to go back to anything else. The battery is rechargeable through USB c and its good for about 40 hours.

The Elite 2 controller is good, but flaws remain.
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Elite 2 controller be the greatest XBox controller ever, but it suffers from the same flaws and weaknesses as it predecessor. The sticks mechanisms break down to wear and tear gaming within six months of use. Eventually the push down click on the stick intermittently stops functioning and you're screwed if the click is a vital action in a game, like sprinting or running. Creep is starting to rear it's ugly head in the same stick. And just this week one of the bumpers began intermittently stopping function or it's sticking. All of these issues should've been corrected with the Elite 2. But instead of upgrading the quality and durability of what really matters most they put more R&D into the exterior cosmetics, which I like. It's actually feels really good in your hands. I LIKE IT, but I want to love the Elite 2. It's just not what a Gen 2 premium controller that demands $30 over Gen 1, but doesn't deliver in the wear and tear department. Will I buy another, of course. And this time I'll buy the freakin' insurance. It was a Gen 2, I thought I would be better.

Best remote I ever used
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.History of remotes I've used: Razor wolverine ultimate Razor wolverine Xbox elite 1 Various standard xbox remotes The Elite 2 far surpasses all of these remote with its customizable triggers and analog sticks. The new and improved paddles on the back make for better ergonomic handling while they are attached. The improved bumpers are a great step up from the elite 1 which I have broke in more than one occasion just from wear n tear. Buy and enjoy!

Good controller but overpriced
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the Series 1 and it was definitely showing wear and tear so I decided to upgrade to the Series 2. I've only had this controller a month and there's already joystick drift that will cause the camera to pan in games. If I don't press the A button at just the right angle or have firm pressure, it don't register meaning when I tell my character to jump in game, nothing actually happens. This controller is about $150 too expensive to be having issues this early into ownership. $30 dollar controllers have lasted longer than the Elite 2 before seeing these types of issues. Of course I'm out of return policy at BB so I'd have to go through Microsoft for the exchange which is such a hassle. The good things include the feel of the controller and the battery but I cannot recommend this controller because it's having what I would consider significant issues for how expensive this product is.
