    Xbox Elite 2 with the Xbox Series X honest review

    This controller offers everything you need for the Xbox Series X. This is an official Microsoft controller so you don't have to worry about it getting blocked from the console. I have purchased other Xbox Series X controllers and the build quality is quite different. You can feel the weight of this controller and tell it is not a 3rd party plastic knockoff. I highly recommend this controller.

    The controller is very nice, this is my second one, made sure to register it with Microsoft to get the one year warranty as the bumpers stopped working on my first one.

    The controller and box came in perfect condition! Everything works great. Shipping could have been better (as it took weeks to arrive after ordering), but it’s understandable during Covid!

    Great controller overall and has less issues than my other Elite controller, but I’m still going to have to give a 3 star due to the fact that this controller also has some buttons that don’t work all the time and occasionally disconnects from the Xbox for no reason…
