    A lot of problems with the elite 2. Bumpers go out and notorious for stick drift right out of the box but even with all that it’s still better than most others.

    I love this controller feels amazing very customizable however it does have some down sides doesn’t last long used it for 11 months before stick drift started. Widely known issue Microsoft was fixing some but not mine it was out by 2 weeks and won’t cover it. This is a very expensive investment to last 11 months with no abuse and moderate game play.

    This is my first elite controller and I love it specially because you don’t need batteries, it feels so good in your hands and it’s very responsive I was kinda skittish because I’m so used to playing with kontrol freaks but with this controller you don’t need them, I got this controller while on sale I paid 139 for it and it was worth every penny

    Better than the standard controllers. But they do not last much since the buttons start to fail and get stick drift.

    I mean, what a difference is playing with this controller. I finally decided to spend some money to see if i would notice a difference from a regular controller and man! Difference is an understatement. I will never play with a regular controller again in my life. If you really enjoy video games , you deserved one of this

    [Employee of bestbuy] The controller has been working great it exactly what I wanted, I’ve been using it for 3 weeks so far and playing with it has been fun. I would recommend if you want an elite controller without the other accessories.

    It’s an awesome controller for the price, I was just simply unaware it did not come with the extra accesorices and case, regardless the controller is still the same very premium elite 2 controller.

    My go to controller. High quality, triggers are adjustable (although i didn't really change them often.) Also the extra buttons on the back are nice, but haven't really needed to use them. Still love the case, the charging, and the feel of it. Expensive, but worth it

    I'm wearing this review of somebody that has disabilities in their hand, and I have to say this is one of the most comfortable and versatile controllers I own. They have become a daily driver not only in the game on the Xbox but also on my gaming PC.
