||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I want to love this controller but can’t. I had to sell it. I had issues with 2 controllers so far. Never had any issues with gen 1. Gen 2 issues: - Random disconnects - Double press on buttons I would still recommend it since it’s a great upgrade form the original controller

I would recommend this to a friendNice controller, but better off buying new.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a really nice controller, however you should definitely get this new with the warranty. I got one used, but after reading about some complaints of issues after a few months I decided to get a new one instead. It really helps, but takes getting used to.

Gift
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My son loves it much nicer controller for long gaming
I would recommend this to a friend Good controller beware of bumpers
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best controller out there for competitive gamers. You have to buy the protection plan because your RB button will be having an input delay or even no input response at all. So if you're okay with replacing the controller so often then this is for you.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat feel and build quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great and feels good in the hands. Its nice having interchangeable thumb sticks and d-pad also. Huge improvement over the regular xbox controller.

I would recommend this to a friend Best controller yet
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works so smooth and easy love the paddles easy to map
I would recommend this to a friendXbox controller
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The control is the best you can buy but if you do play a lot it will only last just under a year before control drifts and everything
I would recommend this to a friendI am barely going to use this
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the pieces being held magnetically and the Bluetooth capability. The option of easily switching between devices (PC to Xbox vice versa) with the push of the same button twice is something that I never thought I needed.
I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Button quality
'A' button has major sticking issue
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The overall feel is good, it doesn't feel cheap. But the A button sticking prevented me from gracefully climbing into my favorite camping spot in Modern Warfare. It sticks down every 4 to 5 presses. Now sold out so swapping isn't even an option, might just upgrade the grips on my elite 1 and push it back into service. Revisit this controller when the kinks have been worked out.

It WAS great.
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Yes, this is a great controller, but it still has insidious defects. Purchased in July of 2020, and now 5 months in, the left joystick drifts constantly. After further research I discovered that Microsoft has begun manufacturing a “improved” version of the same controller (model FST-00008) versus the FST-00001 version. The model I received is the latter. Most people who have purchased this seem to be experiencing the same issues. I have the Best Buy protection plan, and intend on replacing this controller when Best Buy gets it back into stock, and am hoping for the newer version.
