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.

    The second elite series 2 controller and had a series 1 as well. Great updates from the first edition but the first series 2 controller had a bad right trigger that was faulty.

    I have had this controller for 9 months now and really have loved it. But now i am experiencing really bad stick drift, which is a more common problem with any controller but not within this time frame. I am a casual player so maybe a few hours a few days a week at the most. For what this controller cost I expect better durability from it.

    The Last Straw

    This product is garbage. How can you develop a 'series 2' upgrade to an existing poorly executed premium controller and produce an even worse product?!? It is unacceptable to pay a premium for a product this unreliable. Stick drift WILL become an issue within a year of owning this product if not just outright failure of the left thumbstick. More than likely your issues will begin to occur right after the paltry 3 month warranty expires at which point you have to pay Microsoft an additional $99 for a replacement/exchange that is defective upon arrival. I paid $179 for a premium controller that I know actually penalizes me in competitive play...it costs me matches in online competitive play. At this price there should be flawless execution and performance... it's 3x the cost of a standard controller! I've been through the RROD (red ring of death) fiasco with the Xbox 360, the nightmare that is the first Elite controller and now this! Final straw Microsoft...you milked me for the last time! It doesn't matter what the specs of your box is if the interface (controller) between that technology and the user is flawed. I haven't owned a Sony product since the PS2 but I am going to purchase a PS5 this fall... Microsoft, you just lost one.

    I continue to buy this product even though I know it is going to break within the next year. Have had bumper problems and sticky A button upon purchasing multiple different Elite Series 2 controllers. Ulitamately if you still want the advanced controller features, you'll learn to deal with the controller and consistent returns.

    I am a big fan of the series 2 elite controller. I am excited to give this to my son for Christmas. The one I have for myself is great. This was an amazing deal for an excellent condition open box item.
