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.

    Could be a great controller but...

    The controller is comfortable and bit heavy. Not over whelming heavy but feels substantial in the hands. The case and components are of good quality and allows for much customization. The main issue I had with the controller was the input and joy stick drifting. It feels as if there was something causing the A or B button to stick. It makes it unusable at time. Im sure if it were to be taken apart and cleaned, it would likely work fine but for a controller that retails at $180, you would hope these problems did not exist.

    After a few months the bumpers stopped working properly and the tension adjusters for the triggers broke off. Still a phenomenal controller and would recommend it to anyone who wants a premium controller

    This is the best Xbox controller you can get currently! The rubber grips and paddles paired with the thumbstick tensioners make the the best controller you can get on the console currently! Don’t pass it up!

    Love having more options to customize. I feel the price is a bit high for the value of those buttons. Battery lasts long and charges easily. The remote is well made.

    I have for a long time been very displeased with XBOX controller that were manufactured by Microsoft. You ended up paying a premium price for a product that was anything but. They would malfunction after a marginal amount of time, and even physically break with little wear and tear. The Elite 2 is proving to be a step in the right direction. The premium build quality and vast amount of customizable features make for a very well made, and well conceived controller. USB-C or wireless charging by way of a docking station that is provided are great additions to improve the value. The down side is really the idea that it takes over $150 of a price tag for Microsoft o provide a quality controller option. But at least it's a pretty good one.

    I absolutely love the Microsoft elite series controllers. I have a black one that I use. Also, this white one looks even better. It doesn’t come with the battery or the case but you really don’t need it. I love the way the stick works and it comes with all of the buttons and switches to the other one for the price you cannot go wrong with this I absolutely love the way it feels in your hand. The grip is nice the white does get dirty a little easy but it’s still looks great.
