    Careful buying Open Box

    Bought an Elite 2 on a whim because it was priced well, being "Open Box Excellent." Upon using it I realized that the "Y" face button wouldn't register when pressed from the lower part of it, even if the button was pushed all the way down. Also noticed the "P3" paddle was loose compared to the other 3 and didn't register or make a click noise like the rest. The look, feel, handle and customizability this controller are all incredible and I like the versatility of running wired or wireless and not needing batteries, but I have yet to try this controller bought "new." I hope the face button issue was more a 1 off defect and not issues with quality control.

    Decent controller but needs replacement every 12mo

    I like this controller. I’ve had it for about 4 years, but the biggest issue is that I need to replace it at least once within each year, whether it’s due to joystick drift or bumper buttons not working properly. Luckily, I bought the warranty ($60) and I’ve been able to get it replaced without dropping almost $200 every time. Wish it was higher quality but I’ve settled for this because I simply cannot go back to a regular (paddle-less) controller.

    Solid Quality but Disappointing Joystick Drift

    I recently purchased the Xbox controller with high hopes due to its reputation for great quality and performance. Upon unboxing, it was clear that the controller boasted a robust build and excellent craftsmanship in its design – a definite plus. The ergonomic feel of the controller in hand was quite impressive, and the buttons and triggers were responsive and well-placed. I appreciated the attention to detail in the design, and it truly felt like a premium gaming accessory. However, my experience took a downturn when I encountered an issue that has become all too common with these controllers – joystick drift. It's disappointing to see that even with such meticulous construction, Microsoft has not managed to address this critical flaw. The joystick drift makes gaming sessions frustrating and unenjoyable, as precise movements become almost impossible to execute accurately. Given the premium price point of the controller and the reputation of Microsoft, it's truly disheartening to witness such a glaring issue persist. While the build quality and overall feel of the controller are commendable, the presence of joystick drift significantly tarnishes the gaming experience. It's a shame that a company of Microsoft's caliber has not resolved this matter satisfactorily. In conclusion, while the Xbox controller exhibits exceptional craftsmanship and a sturdy build, the ongoing issue of joystick drift severely impacts its usability and overall value. It's my hope that Microsoft takes heed of these concerns and works towards rectifying this persistent problem to provide gamers with the experience they deserve. Until then, it's hard to wholeheartedly recommend this controller.

    Purchased this controller 11/16/19, I use it mostly for PC gaming when playing my 3rd person adventure / action games like Nioh, Sekiro, and Dark Souls 1-3. Sometime in May the back switch to lock the triggers broke off, strange since I never use it to lock my triggers. This week 6/15/20, my right bumper broke, it now sticks and does not make clicking sound anymore. I do not game that much since I have a 10 hour a day job, I am also involved in online classes for my degree and I am a father. So I normally game about 2 hours every other day. The controller has not even lasted a year for me yet. I feel for the price of the product it needs to be able to last longer, I am not a hardcore 6 to 8 hours a day gamer.

    I love this controller. Absoultely cant really complain about anything. Except 1 thing. If your hands start to sweat the grip on the back starts getting a little sticky.
