Customers consistently note the product's great overall performance, excellent battery life, and extensive customization options. They frequently praise its comfortable feel, good weight, and comfortable grip. However, a significant concern raised by users is the issue of stick drift, which appears to develop quickly. Additionally, some customers have experienced problems with button quality and found the price to be a point of hesitation.

    The controller is great to play. Best parts of the controller are the grip,weight,and the ability to change the sticks to your preferred height.

    Extremely versatile controller. Nice weight to it. The rechargeable battery is extremely convenient as you can charge in the protective case.

    Real good but breaks overtime. On my 4th one and just the bumpers break after time. Not to much stick drift.

    Xbox Elite 2 controller 1 month review

    Honestly I was skeptical at first, but the controller fits very comfortably and has a hight build quality. Stick drift is definitely still a thing, but with the stick tension adjustment it was easy to find a balance, unlike the original Xbox controller. You get what you get as far as tension goes. Overall great product, things I wish it had; hall effect joysticks and a better price tag (high cost).

    I mean this is a no brainer. This is the best XBOX controller on the market. Weight is right, feel is solid, options and attachments are easy to plug and play. They fixed the rubber grip issue from series 1 controller.

    So far, the controller is excellent. It has a good weight, balance, and feel to it when compared to the non-elite controller. I also got the warranty per the recommendation of numerous sources.

    Controller feels amazing and paddles are very nice. Only issue is the left stick. I’d suggest the protection plan if your left stick starts to break or drift. Only reason for the 4 star but best buys coverage is great.

    Good but not great. Feels comfy, plays smooth but for whatever reason the overloxking polling rate on xbox controllers are not unlockable to higher rates. Therefore you are stuck with Microsoft stock settings when it comes to input latency. Therefore the PS5 edge has a advantage over this one. Other then that its perfect very easy to use and feels great in your hands.

    Amazing controller if you get a good one out of the box. I had to go exchange it several times until I got one that wasn’t defective. Finally found one that wasn’t and it works/feels great!

    The controller was on back order so I was super excited when it became available(covid and what not). Overall the controller has unmatchable customization, but like other reviews say it has its problems... the A and B button don’t Respond 1 in 10 presses.. which isn’t that big of a deal since you can use the paddles... that’s all cool until the paddles do the same. I love this controller. I swapped from years of playing claw on a regular x-box controller. All I can say is buy it from Best Buy and get the geek squad 2 year protection. Geek squad has no questions asked and you get a new one. This controller is plagued with problems.... so use Best Buy

    I do not understand the bad reviews of this Xbox elite controller, but to my point of view, I absolutely love it! What I love about this specific Xbox controller is that you do not need to keep adding batteries; you can simply charge the controller. Moreover, the controller has a good battery life lasting around 40 hours. Get it!

    Great controller if you have the money to waste on it or you are truly a gamer and will benefit from the slight difference in the mods it is capable of performing.

    It is an elite 2 without all the extras. Great for replacing broken elite 2. Im not a big warranty person but i highly recommend getting the warranty. Saves you about $70 (if you buy the warranty again after turning in broken controller) and saves you the headache and stress of getting a new controller. If you start getting stick drift, button stop working, controller stops charging, battery stops holding a charge, etc, take it to bestbuy, redeem the warranty, they give you the new controller, buy the warranty on it for $50, and you are back to gaming. (Warranty is 2 years, its a new controller)
