Great controller, but button failure imminent
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I do like the elite controller. However this is my second time buying it after the first set of issues i had. First time i bought it it worked great. But when i tried to play claw the A button only worked 1/4 of the time. The RB then started to double click. Playing Gears 5 was a headache with this happening. Then the LB went out completely. So took it back and got anther one 1 year later. This current one worked great. But again i can't play claw bc the A button doesn't always function unless your pressing it in a certain way. And 1 month later the RB is starting to double click yet again. So i can only assume that my LB may also go out. The 1st gen elite controller worked flawless for me. This 2nd series has just completely sucked. So depending on what games you play im sure it'll work out fine. But for me and the games i play i need a fully functional controller. Not a partially functional one. So after i return this onw i will try the razer wolverine ult. Hopefully it works with claw otherwise I'll exchange it as well.

Silver lining
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly it sucks what you have to go thru to find a 100% working controller, i had returned 2 from batch 2035 and found 1 from batch 2034 and have no issues. Quality control aside its great Microsoft increased their warranty to 1 year. The controller itself is super cool though and everything you get with it, the nice case, the charger, interchangeable parts, and the settings you can tweak from the vibration on each motor to the brightness of the logo. Quality issues aside its really a dope gamers controller.

Controller
|Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] Great controller and really well made. Nothing wrong with it besides it being a bit pricey for a few extra buttons.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat audio gets better mic
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The previous gen was great and had clearly defined audio for all scenarios. The mic was a little lacking when compared to other headsets. Come gen 2 and they take the formula and tweak it just enough to give you the great audio with a great mic. Do keep in mind that it does have a removable foam filter on it in case that bothers you.
