    It’s an okay controller. Didn’t like how bad the stick drift was and the issue started not long after purchasing, it was never dropped either.

    Needed to replaced a well used controller. Although a little pricier, i was pleasantly surprised at how versatile the settings were and the simplicity of adjustments for most any play style. Money well spent in my opinion !!! Very pleased with this controller choice !

    It’s heavy compared to the rest of the newer gen controllers. But the stick drift is unreal. Whatever you do, make sure to purchase the warranty if you buy this controller!

    First, I had the elite controller 1st generation, and it stopped sending audio to the headset. I thought that it was my headset so I bought a new one. I had the same issues with a new headset. I found out that it was actually the controller. After my elite 1st gen failed (after about 1yr.), I bought the elite 2. I figured the failure of the first may have been a fluke. However, after about 9 months, the elite 2 started to have issues with headset audio… Which happened after “A” button issues. Then, I started to have issues with the controller randomly disconnecting from the xbox in the middle of gameplay. Now, it just totally failed. All of a sudden (middle of gameplay), half of the buttons stopped working. Tried resetting the Xbox, resetting the controller, and still not working. Don’t waste $200 on a controller that only lasts 1yr. Happened with my elite 1, and again with the elite 2.

    Pros: customizable, sleek, very easy to use Cons: the hit sticks don't completely work. yes movement is there but the controller does not recognize when I push the sticks down. The value is there with the open box.

    I was a little unhappy about this not coming with the paddles, but that is probably on me for not reading the description well enough. But selling them separately is an idiotic premise!

    Upgraded my original Elite remote to this one and I am finally able to use the rear buttons. For some reason the original remotes rear buttons were to large/long and I would accidentally press them all the time. With the new remote they’ve improved on that a lot. Great remote.

    The Xbox Elite 2 controller is a major improvement over the first generation with refined components and built in battery. The additional thumbsticks, dpad and charging cable all stashed easily within the super nice carrying case...perfect for Xcloud streaming sessions.
