||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the controller. The grips do not come off like the series 1 controller. Live the charging dock for the controller. Do not need to worry about changing batteries. If you are a Cbox gamer, this is a must have.

Xbox Elite Controller
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller is awesome! feels professional and strong build! my only complain would be that the paddles at the bottom are place in a why that may make you pouch them in, even when you don't want too.

Great addition With A Price!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would not recommend this to a casual player. This is a hefty price but if you are looking into have a slightly better advantage in fps. I would highly recommend this controller!
I would recommend this to a friendBack buttons
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller is bigger than the traditional controller and the extra configuration of the back buttons helps alot
I would recommend this to a friendElite 2 Core

I would recommend this to a friendWorth it
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got what I expected and worth every penny. I like all the customizations available
I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Stick drift
DON'T PURCHASE IF YOU'RE AVOIDING STICK DRIFT!
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Buyer beware. If you're like me, than you bought this "high quality" controller because you were sick of getting analog drift every year or two after buying a new controller. Do yourself a favor and don't gamble on these elite controllers thinking it will fix your issue. I purchased this 6 months ago and already have severe stick drift. I even bought what I thought was a 2-year extended warranty because I was expecting this to happen, only to find out it's just some worthless $40 Geek Squad service. Best Buy will not refund this defective product. I take care of my controllers. This controller has seen minimal use and goes right back in the case after using. I don't even play shooters or racing games or anything. I play casual, easy going RPGs that don't require you slam on the sticks and still this "Elite" controller couldn't handle it. It is pretty though. If you're looking for a $250 elite paperweight this is definitely the product for you.
