Best controller
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ive only had regular and a fusion controller but the feel of the elite has been the best. Tightening of the sticks and just the mapping of the paddles love!

Not worth the price for KNOWN issues
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Used it for 2 days and buttons are sticky and the wireless connection is bad. This is a known issue that microsoft is aware of, this is not an issue with best buy, but with the product. I will be returning and getting a normal controller. This hassle is unfortunately not worth the price. I live the weight and the build of the controller, the ability to adjust the stick stifness was a prime selling point for me

Best gift for a Xbox gamer
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Will never buy a regular controller again. Feels solid works well and last longer then the base controllers by far bought one for everyone in the family after having mine since launch and playing 20-30 hours a week on it

Professional Controller
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this controller! I have bought 2 now. I play alot and a normal controller will start drifting for me after like 2 months. I had my first Elite Controller for over 7 months. It seriously feels like a professional controller

Shame *ding-ding... SHAME
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sick of it. Firstly, the stick tension is uneven. There is always one side that has more slack than the other, and there's a slight deadspace that is taken that you can feel it gently dragging before engaging the track pad. Secondly, the button registration. This was my 3rd try at the elite 2 since it came out and I'm done. The A button in particular (sometimes others as well) WILL NOT register soft presses that aren't directly over the button. They have curved buttons, it doesn't work out well. You have to Mash the buttons if you want consistency. If you play for hours at a time this starts to hurt your thumb joints. The buttons also have varying tension as well. The one I got had a stiff X button while the others weren't. Does that sound premium to you? Just stick with the regular controller. It's very reliable and was well tested before manufacturing, these not so much. They need to figure it out

Everything I’ve come to expect.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The time finally came to replace my series one elite. The improvements over the series one justify the increased price, especially the adjustable tension thumb sticks. Worth every penny. I’m confident I’ll get a few years out of this like I did with my series one.

Amazing controller brought low by flaw
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice feeling controller. Feels very sturdy. Comes with a charging dock and the ability to switch between Bluetooth for PC and then back to Xbox. Only gets 2 stars as the left bumper stopped working within about a week of purchase. Seems to be a common problem with this controller.

Great but very pricey
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its a great controller and is very high quality. I can only recommend it if you’re looking to splurge. If you have money, go for it!

Excellent
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a BIG upgrade over the Elite Series 1 controller but doesn't fix all of the flaws. It warrants a five star review because it's the best gaming controller I've used (haven't tried the new PS5 controller yet).

Expensive, but worth every penny.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The weight, the triggers, the sticks... everything is on a different level. Comes w a charging case & a bunch of different add ons. Justifies the price. Heard about durability issues, but I’m sure if you put it back in it’s case you should be good.
