    Arguably the best wireless controller in the market for PC gaming. Sometimes has connection problem but overall very good. Maybe the Bluetooth adapter helps with the connection problem but is sold separately. The built quality is great. Nice to hold in hand specifically with the satisfying weight.

    The Elite Series 2 appears to have a better build quality than the Series 1 that I previously owned that the covering started to fall apart. I was also noticing gimbal drift that was very annoying. Fortunately I had purchased the Best Buy warranty. I used the purchase refund towards the Series 2 with the Best Buy warranty. So far I am very pleased with the performance.

    I have used both the standard Xbox One and the Xbox Elite controller and this V2 is a great modern option. It will also connect to the Xbox Series X. While the Elite had the rubber that would separate from the bottom plastic, this V2 has rubber that wraps around, with the only downside is that it leads to sweatier hands during gaming sessions.

    Loved it so much that I bought a second one for my older Xbox and a third for my brother. My first gen Elite controller started having issues with the river grips and this one seems to be holding up much better.

    I've gone through two of these controllers now with an additional 4 Series 1 Elite Controllers. Luckily I got the Geek Squad protection because I've used it on every single one of them within a year of getting the controller. My first series 2 had problems within a couple months with the A button not registering when pushed. So I exchanged it for a new one and right out of the box the new one has the same problem but even more severe. This is unacceptable for a controller that costs $180. Across both series of these the Elite Controllers I've now had a total of six and not a single one has lasted more than 6-8 months. I would absolutely not recommend wasting your money on this controller.
