same problems at elite v1
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.at first was very happy to feel the quality that was put into this elite v2 for the first 5 months of use. but just like v1 i started to experience the same button issues. my right bumper button doesnt work sometimes when i press it normally, so i have to press hard or double press to get it work which isnt optimal in game.

Great controller, it’s just too small
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Lots of good feature but couldn’t get past the size of it, too small. That being said, it had a lot of attachments that made customizing it easy. All in all would recommend if you are okay with the size

Xbox series 2 Elite controller
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a controller. An average person who just wants to play normal AAA games wouldn’t like it. The paddles get in the way, and the parts can be lost easily. The only good upgrade going from a normal controller to this, is that you don’t need batteries for this and it’s charge time is crazy. Don’t feel like you need this, this is just an expensive accessory that you might not even like.

Great but but recommend a warranty.

Works well at first.
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the series one controller and had issues with 2 over time. When the series 2 was announced, I was ecstatic to be able to game with ease and with paddles, which I grew attached too. Months later, I started to experience controller drift in the left joystick, which is a horrible issue for practically every game. I hope Xbox puts better care in future products. TIP: if you buy, buy the warranty

Posted .Hi Thomas,
We're sorry that there's an issue with thumbstick drift on your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. Every new Xbox controller also comes with a 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty from Microsoft so if it's still within the warranty period we recommend contacting Xbox Support for assistance here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution
Hope that helps,
Chuck
