I would recommend this to a friend Great ergonomics and feel! Convenient charging.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don’t understand why this is not part of the the console… these are so easy to use! And just like the new Astro A50 headphones, I don’t have to mount it far away, near the console, but can mount the charging station next to my gaming chair and start a game from there, or charge it more conveniently!

Great controller, responds quickly.

I would recommend this to a friend Some improvements but not all of them
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The body and grips are an improvement over the v1 Elite controllers, but there’s already issues with the RB/LB buttons wearing out and becoming non-responsive like they did with the v1. For the cost, Microsoft really needs to address that. These shouldn’t wear out in 9-12 months for this price. I’ve already had to replace mine once.

Good foe the price

I would recommend this to a friend A must have for gamers
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Having owned and used Series 1 for years, I was pleasantly surprised on how well Series 2 feels and performs. Only time will tell as the Series 1 tended to fail after months of use with the grips separating and I list sound output from the ports. So far so good and I am pleased with the improved version.

Wish it was built better
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really wanted this controller to be the quality that would reflect the price tag. But unfortunately, my second one kept me from trying a third. The first lasted around six months. I’m a light gamer. Took care of how I treated it. The right trigger and right stick started failing. Used my Geek Squad protection and swapped it for the second one. The new controller had the sticking button issue and returned it right away. All the negative reviews on the controller are true. I imagine there are good ones out there by the positive reviews, I just didn’t get that lucky. Too much money to have the negative quality control issues it has. If built with care from the factory, it would be worth the money in my opinion. Great feel and materials. I’m not the third time a charm kind of person. I hope the Elite 3 will address and fix the issues from the previous two. If you do purchase the Elite 2, get the protection plan.

Taking it to another level
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The only downside does not come with rear bumpers. Other than that, it is still worth the upgrade.
