Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options, along with its comfortable feel and good weight. However, a significant concern among users is the prevalence of stick drift and issues with button quality, particularly with the bumpers and A button. The price is also a point of hesitation for some.

    First and foremost, the build quality is exceptional. From the moment you hold it, the Elite Series 2 exudes durability and sophistication. The matte finish feels premium in hand, and the rubberized grips provide a reassuring hold during even the most intense gaming sessions. It's evident that Microsoft has paid meticulous attention to every detail, ensuring that every component feels solid and well-crafted.

    This controller is great for gamers that play fps especially Call of Duty. The fact that you can use paddles in the back of the controller to replace using the A button to jump really improves accuracy when playing multiplayer. I recommend this controller.

    Is really good controller for competitive gaming but unfortunately the sticks do get stick drift after daily use. It will give about 4 months before you need another controller. But because extended warranty that kind solve the issue if you have the extra money to afford it.

    This controller should come standard with every Xbox! Makes the regular controller feel like a toy. Grip and adjustments are great, no need for batteries or charge packs, and the case is a nice touch to conceal it and keep clean. I love it!

    Handles really well when in hand to hand combat im fps games! Which I really enjoy. The customizable bumpers in the back allow for more fluid motion and transition. All in all, it was a well invested item to my arsenal of gaming gear.

    Iv'e tried just about all the top brand controllers and the Elite Series is in my opinion the best for high level gameplay. However, The life span of these controllers are very short. I have owned about 3 of these and eventually the controller will experience a manufacturer issue. Sometimes, the LB & RB buttons will give multiple inputs or not even execute the command when pressed. The same issue was experienced on all 3 controllers and not very helpful when you send them in for service and they return to have the same problem. Microsoft really needs to fix how they make these controllers and run better test to prevent these things from constantly happening. Best controller, but will probably malfunction eventually.

    I have a total love hate relationship with this controller. I had my Elite 1 for about two years and it worked great but eventualy the Y button failed and the stick drift was so bad that I upgraded to the elite 2. I also bought one for my 9 year old at the same time, within a few weeks my bumper started failing and stick drift was immediate, It has never not drifted, luckily I play war zone so I just adjust the dead zone and it has no affect in game. Unfortunately I didn't get a warranty with that controller so i bought a second one this time from Best Buy so I could get the warranty. Ironically the one that I got the warranty for has held up great with no problems except it also has stick drift...........

    The ultimate upgrade for my Alienware R16 setup

    Best controller on the market, period. I use this for almost all my gaming on my Alienware R16 and the build quality is night and day compared to a standard controller. The adjustable-tension sticks and paddles make a huge difference in feel and precision. If you’re serious about gaming on a PC or console, it’s worth every penny.
