    I like how I can adjust the trigger buttons and change out analog sticks. Just recently having minor issues with left bumper button. Doesn’t seem to react all the time when I press on it. I think it might be going bad.

    Best controller out on the market. If you play FPS games you have to get this. USB Type C charging and comes with awesome case and can charge while in the case. Bluetooth as well. Honestly I can not think of a con on this controller its just great all around but maybe the price but I would say its worth it.

    This is my second elite 2 controller. The first one was a base model. Within 2 years the RB stopped working which is a common issue, but you need solder and replace a ten dollar part to fix it. Which I tried and failed to do. So the core comes along and I had hoped maybe they fixed but they did not. About 1 month after my extended warranty expired the RB button died again. Honestly I wouldn’t recommend this control based on the failure rate. Especially on a premium product. The only reason I gave it 2 stars is because when it works it’s my favorite controller. I can justify the price.

    As an owner of the first Elite, this one is better so far, in every way. I do however, prefer the old way of swapping batteries, vs the built in battery in the long run, fearing not being able to change batteries. Other than that, it's excellent. I have so far, had none of the issues mentioned in other reviews. Excellent controller!

      Hey Glenn,

      Thank you for sharing how much you're loving your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2! The internal rechargeable battery is designed to hold its full charge for over 2 years with minimal degradation, however we encourage anyone who experience issues with it to contact Xbox Support.

      Hope that helps,

    All of the pro elite series 2 xbox controllers have issues. I have owned for different controllers and always seem to develop a problem with either LB or RB about 4-5 months in. To be totally honest, unless you have a total tech membership this product is not worth the money. If you would like to follow through with a purchase just ensure you get insurance for it because it will definitely give you problems within a short time.

    Purchased this as an open box item and I was completely surprised that, when I unboxed it, it was completely brand new! Excellent price for what I got, which was about $100 less than MSRP
