Glad to have a Elite again
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Owned the first elite for almost 3 years before the LB button finally gave out, decided to upgrade to the elite 2. So far it feels like a durable controller but I also bought the extended warranty in case I have any issues with it down the road like the original elite.
I would recommend this to a friend Extremely comfortable.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall great controller. I've been using it during long hours of gameplay and I don't find my hands getting fatigued. The buttons/paddles on the back are extremely useful and I find improve skill and performance. I would recommend this controller to anyone interested in competitive gaming and who wants comfort while gaming.
I would recommend this to a friendBest Xbox controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My son uses this for xbox and pc. It works great and he loves it. The paddles add extra customizable features that only this controller offers. It's expensive, but well worth the money.

Great, buuuuuuuut
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellet, but it disconnects randomly mid match a lot. Best Buy exchange is only 15 days for controllers. For a $200 controller, this is absurd. I could understand if it were a base controller, but come on. Having to make the claim with Microsoft :/ I never had this problem with the first series.

Elite Controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this for the gaming son, he loves it. Holding it compared with regular controller, there is a noticeable upgrade in quality and feel of the materials. He also loves the ability to customize the travel of the back trigger/paddle buttons so you don't have to push it down as far. Feels like a lot for a controller, but it is a nice one.

Great controller
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The paddles on the back change your game. You can play much faster with the paddles because you dont have to take your thumbs off the joysticks. The trigger locks, thumbstick tension, and thumbstick deadzone adjustments are great. Id highly recommend this to anyone who games on Xbox a lot and is trying to break their skill plateau.

Good battery life
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the first Elite Series controller and it ate the batteries. This controller, with the built in battery, lasts a long time. Very happy with it.

Great remote
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Son loves it . It has new features that he likes. Not crazy about the price, but it is what it is. This was a Christmas present. People have said to watch the flippers on this remote because they break. So we will see how long they last.
I would recommend this to a friend Good for sweaties
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's comfortable. I don't use the paddles it's hard as I have long fingers. I really liked how you can tighten the joysticks. Only thing I really hate about this controller is the triggers. They are a weird feeling plastic and when they have sweat on them its slippery

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had this for a month now and It’s the best controller I’ve ever had.

Great controller
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] This controller is great for the longest time I swore I’d never spend this much on a controller…it’s worth it! It feels amazing in the hands-very textured and has a great weight!
I would recommend this to a friend Best Value Elite Controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price its amazing. Especially if you already have spare paddles and joysticks highly recommend this over the 200+ elite controller. Also, in more colors than black? Say less!!!

Worth the money twice.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I probably used my elite 1 everyday 3-4 hours. 2+ years without a problem. So far 1 month in, it feels like the 2 is the same type of quality controller with some better features. Like thumb stick tension control and a built in battery that with my daily use last well over a week. So far so good worth the money if I go 2-3 years again.

Excellent controller, low durability.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fantastic controller with excellent preset options, alternate triggers and battery life. Switched from buying direct ( this is my 6th controller) to Best Buy as RB inevitably fails and Best Buy protection plan is the best.
