Great feel, not so great quality
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Once you hold an Elite Series 2 controller, you will never want to hold anything else. The build, looks and feel are incredible. The controller also has great battery life - claiming over 40 hours of gameplay - although I never tested that theory, the battery life is VERY long. The customization options are great and every gamer should be able to find a button/layout combo that works for them. Downside is that one of the D-pads stopped responding to certain directions just as the warranty expired. After some research, this is not uncommon. C'mon Xbox, a $200 controller should NOT have simple quality issue.

Posted .Hey there,
We're glad that you have been enjoying the great feel and features of Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2, but sorry to hear there's an issue with one of the D-pads. The limited manufacturer's warranty for this product has been extended to one year. If you're within the warranty period, we recommend contacting Xbox Support for assistance here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution
Hope that helps,

I would recommend this to a friend Great controller
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.To begin inuse this for PC gaming only, i tried the PS5 edge controller and the xbox elite 2 by far is better for PC. Easier to sync up and most pc games use the xbox layout. It feels very durable and of good quality.

Bueno

I would recommend this to a friend - Cons mentioned:Stick drift
You guessed it, stick drift
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upon unboxing, this controller feels and plays great. Solid build, great response, worth the money. But inevitably, after the warranty expires, stick drift creeps in. This is my 3rd elite controller, and every one of them got stick drift around the same time. Every time I assime after years they would engineer that out of the next model, but nope, its built in. I buy a lot of mid to high level electronics with no extended warranty, and this is the ONLY product I ever recall failing, and consistently at that. Idk how this is possible. My biggest issue is the warranty is only 90 days, when the standard in any electronics is 1 year. So Microsoft know they dont last. The price on these need to come down, or better yet, extend the warranty to a year. Im tired of getting ripped off on these controllers. Ironically, the generic plastic ones always seem to last longer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Excellent quality.

I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Price
Is good but the price that I think it was a littlm
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This should be the standard one for xbox the extra triggers not even use them but I like how it feels the buttons are excellent and I think the price is too high
I would recommend this to a friend Elite Controller FTW
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love my controller so much. 10/10 would buy more..
I would recommend this to a friendJust wow
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have the original Elite controller and I LOVE it but I gave it to my wife when she started playing Xbox more. I got this one and somehow love it even more! - The paddles are a little smaller, which helps if you have big meat hooks for hands like I do. - There's no more nasty green under the swappable parts so you get a really blacked out look - The swappable profiles are AMAZING if you play different styles of games. I currently have Assassin's Creed, first person and Skyrim profiles. - The hair triggers are now variable and help a lot with those split second reactions - It comes with a charging dock and you can even charge it while it's in the carrying case thanks to a small passthrough grommet. - The wrap around grips are MUCH nicer than the gen 1 elite controller. No more hand sweat buildup! I can't say enough nice things about this controller and it's worth every penny if you're a big gamer!
