They frequently praise its comfortable feel, good weight, and comfortable grip. However, a significant concern raised by users is the issue of stick drift, which appears to develop quickly.

Good, but get the warranty.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The premier “pro” Xbox controller, however they are continually plagued by bumper malfunctions. If had 3 over the past 4-5 years, however no other controller comes close to feel. I recommend getting the year warranty as I’ve needed to swap them almost yearly with fairly heavy use.

Nice controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Adjustable triggers are wonderful and the texture if the controller itself is awseome, especially if your hands are moist.

Well worth the money for serious gamers,
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the controller the system should come with. It’s fantastic, although I still find myself preferring the dual sense for its haptics.

WIll not last more than a year or so, do not buy
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have owned 2 Series 2 Elite Controllers. Both stopped working about a year and a half later with light use. In both my cases, the controlllers will just turn off randomly, whether it is plugged in or not. Also, the sticks will bounce back a bit. For example if you push a character in a certain direction, then let go of the stick, the stick will bounce in the other direction, making your character face the wrong way. It is frustrating. You can look up other complaints of shoulder buttons stop working, stick drift, etc. I really want to like these controllers, but they should be MUCH better built for $200. Do Not Buy.

Perfect
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My only complaint is that it's heavier than standard controllers but it's understandable. Honestly I don't think I can go back to regular controllers.

Microsoft greed at it's finest
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got excited when I saw that I could get an elite controller in a color other than black, but was immediately disappointed when I realized it did not come with paddles. Hello XBox, the entire reason people purchase these is for the paddles. I was fine having to buy a new one every couple of years, but buying an "accessory kit" separate is a joke and really shows that you do not know your customers at all.

High Quality
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have the first elite controller. This is slightly better but with a rechargeable battery and tweakable sticks for tension. If you have discounts awaiting you(rewards), I highly recommend.

Hopefully Last Longer
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Happy with my purchase I'm just hoping it last longer than the first series I bought and exchanged a couple since I had either buttons break or drift. This one feels better built than the them.
