    This controller is meant to break, they have insurance for a reason. This is my third one. Sadly its the best controller out there, but will break over time no matter what. Horrible stick drift is known and buttons getting stuck.

    Great so far, have only had it for about a month. I use it to play PC games, the plug and play is always simple for xbox controllers and this one is no different. I like the paddle buttons very much. Battery life seems fantastic so far, and the case is awesome.

    Pretty displeased. I bought this on January 2024. Couple years back I bought the Elite series black controller and it started going out so I figured I give this one a shot since it was cheaper. First and foremost it does NOT have all the additional buttons that the other controller has. Moreover, within a month of owning this controlle. For a $130 controller I expect something thats going to last abit longer than 2 months. Overall, get the black Elite. Not this hunk of junk.

    Love this controller if you want to step your game up than make sure you get one of these and dont forget your warranty so if it brakes you can get a new one and a new warranty for a quarter of the price

    Incredible controller. On the small size, but before long you will not even notice it. It feels great in your hand, and always works perfectly. Easily the best controller I have ever owned. Is it a lot of money? Yes, but it is worth spending the extra cash on it

    Great set of sticks and remapping is awesome. Have had a few of the elites over the years and the only downside is one of the bumpers is almost guaranteed to start going around the 15+ months mark.

    Lol so bought this controller less then 6 months ago and it started breaking with in three. I'm not especially hard on my equipment but dang for 200$ you would think it would last longer then normal 60$ controllers which have a shelf life of like at least a year. Buttons started getting harder to us like RB and Left Thumbstick Click. Nothing Best Buy will do if you don't pay more then you already are for a freaking elite 2 controller which is kinda dumb. Microsoft only has a 90 day warrenty on them which from what I've read is about when they have the most problems right after that. Cool. Next time I'll just punch myself in the face and give a stranger 260$ (60 for geek sqaud!) Great controller I guess, if it actually worked that is.
