Much better than the 8 year old elite I had. Lighter weight, feels more solid and all the inputs feel more crisp

Absolutely one of the best controllers I've ever owned. The customizable paddles make for great gaming. And the fact i can set 3 different sets of settings means i don't have to keep changing it for different games.

Works great just as it should. Never fails and it feels good in your hands

Very comfortable and has a good weight to it, triggers are great!

I loved the Elite Series 1 but the series 2 is twice as good! The paddles are shorter and angled different for a more comfortable feel, and the additional trigger lock options are sweet. Oh and I’m really loving the new stick sensitivity settings . . .what a difference they make! Add to all of that, an integrated rechargeable battery that seems to last for days (seriously)! All in all this is one awesome controller!

Great feel but still suffers same issues from the first elite 2 controller. I’m a competitive gamer that used this controller pretty heavily. Within 5 the months of use, the R1 and L1 bumpers experienced loss of function. Pretty frustrating. I did get the insurance and got another one for replacement. It did fall under the Microsoft warranty but in the past, I didn’t have a good experience with them. Takes days to receive the controller and they didn’t even fix the problem.So if you plan on getting this controller, I highly recommend getting geek squad insurance. They’ll replace right on the spot. Still a solid controller for gaming.

[Employee of bestbuy] Out for all the Xbox controllers I've had in the past this remote has been known to last 2 or more years without having stick drift. The buttons do not get stuck or lag while playing online.

Perfect all the value I expected on this controller

The controller paddles took a little to get used to and build muscle memory but once you get the hang of it your reflexes in fps and other games that require quick response times is significant improved. That coupled with the fact the controller is barely heavier that a standard wireless controller and has rubber grips makes the purchase very much worth it if you were on the fence about it

I recently purchased the Xbox controller, and I must say it offers exceptional build quality and premium materials. The controller feels robust and comfortable in hand, and the adjustable trigger settings enhance the gaming experience. The included case is a nice touch, keeping it protected on the go. However, my experience hasn't been flawless. I've had to return it a few times due to joystick drifting issues, which is quite frustrating. Additionally, the controller comes with a premium price tag, which may be a deterrent for some buyers. In summary, the Xbox controller boasts impressive build quality, materials, and design, but the recurring joystick drifting and the high cost make it a mixed investment.

Not worth 200$ but what can you do when we all give in to pay these absurd prices. Still a great controller until the stick drift happens

Out of all of my Xbox controllers, this one has managed to last the longest without developing the dreaded ghost drift issue that plagues regular controllers

Nothing is better than this Xbox controller had no issues with it. I’ve been having it for the past couple years still working right now.

Great controller! 2 months in and no stick drift. Very tacky grip which is an upgrade from original elite 2. Purchased the scuf triggers and made a world of a difference with the response!

Really solid controller, If you rage game like I do these tend to break after a year or so tho

This is by far the best quality controller I have ever used. Works flawlessly with my iPad for gaming. Has the perfect amount of weight to it. The quality of the unit is felt in every interaction with the bottoms and joysticks. I play games maybe once a week to once every 3 weeks. No regrets purchasing this controller.

This controller is expensive but after using it I think it’s worth the price. From the new grips, the ability to tighten the sticks, the longer built in battery that is USB-C, this is a nice upgrade from the original Elite. Also wasn’t sure how I’d feel about the paddles, but they feel natural and sit right at my fingertips. Definitely gives you the ability to play the way you want and map the buttons as you see fit.

So far the best Xbox controller I’ve owned. I use it for PC gaming and console gaming. The connection is flawless and the buttons feel great. The controller has a weight to it, gives it a quality feel.

Has a good feel to it and the option to use more buttons are perfect for games.

Pretty happy with the controller function. The cost was way too much tho. It's a game controller. It was almost $200. I was not happy with opening the box to find there was no controller in the box tho.. luckily i figured that out before I made it to my vehicle and went back in. The best buy resolved the issue for me.. but make sure to check before you leave.
