Great controller! But... I think its a real shame that its expected to fail in some way (stick drift or bumber not working, etc) after a few months. Maybe 6 months I think. I on my 2nd or 3rd one and I do treat them well, never in a damaging way. I will say that it takes me time to adjust to normal controller after using an elite controller. I cannot recommed this to anyone without warranty of some kind.

Worked great loved the white and black i would buy again in the future

This controller is so close to perfect! The back buttons easy to use & not obtrusive, everything feels higher quality than the normal Xbox controller, but the stick drift is ridiculous!! Stick drift has become synonymous with the Elite controllers so I was hesitant to justify the price tag, but the Elite 2 seemed to be the most user-friendly option in the “pro-controller” market. I’ve seen people say they they’ve had theirs for 2+ years without drift issues so I was hopeful to say the least. First week was a dream come true! The added functionality from the back buttons made me realize I’ve been playing at a huge disadvantage for the last couple years. I don’t think I can ever go back to playing FPS games without back buttons, the idea seems so cumbersome now. Around my 2nd week of use I started to notice some slight drift on the left stick. It was barely noticeable & easily corrected so I didn’t think much of it. Fast forward 1 more week and I notice the same thing from my right stick. Barely noticeable, but enough to make me start regretting my purchase. I’ve barely had the Elite 2 controller for a full month & the drift is only getting worse. I love the back buttons SO MUCH that I really don’t want to put it down, but if the stick drift keeps getting progressively worse at this same rate than I will only get another 2-3 weeks of use out of it. This controller does everything right when it comes to offering a premium level “pro-controller” but if the stick drift turns it into a $200 paperweight after 2 months then it’s hardly a justifiable purchase. I’m hopeful Microsoft can turn this around, the biggest talking point of the Elite 2 to-this-day is the stick drift issues. If they can resolve this, then they will arguably have the best option on the market for a premium controller.

This controller should come standard with every Xbox! Makes the regular controller feel like a toy. Grip and adjustments are great, no need for batteries or charge packs, and the case is a nice touch to conceal it and keep clean. I love it!

Fantastic controller except for how quickly it developed stick drift. Love the weight, and extra buttons, but the stick drift is going to be the death of me!!!

Perfect all the value I expected on this controller

Iv'e tried just about all the top brand controllers and the Elite Series is in my opinion the best for high level gameplay. However, The life span of these controllers are very short. I have owned about 3 of these and eventually the controller will experience a manufacturer issue. Sometimes, the LB & RB buttons will give multiple inputs or not even execute the command when pressed. The same issue was experienced on all 3 controllers and not very helpful when you send them in for service and they return to have the same problem. Microsoft really needs to fix how they make these controllers and run better test to prevent these things from constantly happening. Best controller, but will probably malfunction eventually.

Handles really well when in hand to hand combat im fps games! Which I really enjoy. The customizable bumpers in the back allow for more fluid motion and transition. All in all, it was a well invested item to my arsenal of gaming gear.

I got my kid this one and he loves it. Better then the wired controller for sure. Great feel on grips Interchangable buttons and paddles are a +

It saved me a alot from buying batteries from my older one and the durability is great

I bought this controller to replace a previous Elite Controller that succumbed to severe stick drift and a battery that wouldn’t hold a charge. I wasn’t looking forward to paying full price for an Elite controller, so was very glad to find this one. It doesn’t come with all the bells and whistles of my previous controller but i didnt really need them since those same accessories and case from my previous controller all wotk with this one. I also wasn’t sure if i liked the white on black color scheme but it really works and this controller feels just as sold as my old one. Very pleased with this purchase.

Works as it should no complaints I wish it would stay charged a little bit longer though

I have a total love hate relationship with this controller. I had my Elite 1 for about two years and it worked great but eventualy the Y button failed and the stick drift was so bad that I upgraded to the elite 2. I also bought one for my 9 year old at the same time, within a few weeks my bumper started failing and stick drift was immediate, It has never not drifted, luckily I play war zone so I just adjust the dead zone and it has no affect in game. Unfortunately I didn't get a warranty with that controller so i bought a second one this time from Best Buy so I could get the warranty. Ironically the one that I got the warranty for has held up great with no problems except it also has stick drift...........

This Xbox controller really does make a difference in game play. It may be slightly heavier that regular controller, but the accuracy makes the difference. I would recommend this controller over the regular one any day.

Dry high quality controller with lots to give. The paddles are nice and the control can’t handle tosses

Fantastic upgrade from the Elite 1. The built in rechargeable battery is great and lasts several days of heavy use. The paddles are reconfigured and are a little smaller and I find them more responsive. The build is solid. Dont hesitate.

Very durable, long battery life. No real issues. would recommend scuff though.

This is one of if not the best controller I’ve ever owned. The grip helps with perspiration, the paddles on the back help with gameplay, and the interchangeable thumb sticks are good for different games. I recommend this controller fully.

Basically Brand new controller took my gaming to the next level I play cod so this helps me get back into peak performance online, perfect controller for competitive players and non competitive can’t wait til I buy the paddles for underneath the controller it helps a lot this isn’t my first elite controller but it is the coolest color scheme so far! Highly recommended! Pro gamer vibes. Grab them while their still available.

Lovely controller, highly recommend. No issues after a year of use.
