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.

Good improvements over the first version
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.All I can say is they improved an already great controller. Battery life is way better than the first version and I like the improved grips your palms rest on. And for those upset that you can't change the batteries, I feel its now a mute point. They have a very long a generous USB-C charging cable and the controller has no issues being used while charging (unlike some that can tend to drop the signal when this occurs). The only odd thing both a friend and I have noticed (we purchased at the same time) is that the Xbox button can be a bit off when pressing to turn on/off and other functions. It seems the click point is not as centered as the pervious version and is s bit more toward the right bottom of the circle.

Excellent for Gaming
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller has been amazing to use. I was using a ps5 controller for my pc but this xbox controller blew that right out of the water. Perfect grips stay stiff in your hand, adjustable triggers, and easy connectivity. Highly recommend for a true gamer

Good except for inevitable stick drift
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Controller is the best out there except for the fact that the thumbsticks will start to drift in a few months. Definitely get the replacement plan. Hall effect sticks just don't feel the same.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
Controller is good, but quality could be better.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like the design and feel of the controller. The extra paddles on the bottom are very helpful on games that allow for button customization. My biggest disappointment with the controller is that some buttons become sticky over time where they fail to register in-game. Also, thumbstick drifting becomes an issue over time. I have had to replace this controller already for this issue. Paying $180 for a controller that fails only after a few months of use is VERY disappointing.

Premium controller
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great controller. Good heft, adjustable stick tension and trigger throw. This version (Core) does not include the bottom paddles (removable) but can be equipped with them if you have them. It also does not include the case or the charging dock (again Core version lacks these accessories). This is my second Elite 2. Hopefully, this one doesn't die of drift like the first did.

Elite 2
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great controller. Once i got used to the paddles, it really helps with FPS games. It’s nice not having to remove your thumbs from the sticks. It is a little pricey, so let’s hope it holds up for a casual gamer.
