Not worth the extra
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its fine, but unless you are crazy prop with all kinds of button reconfigured then its def not worth the price bump.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendIt's alright
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ok. Not very customizable though. If you want simple.

Love this controller! But...
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall this is a great controller. However, I’m so upset because for one it’s out of stock everywhere. Took forever to track this down. Plus, I open the box and my controller is missing two thumb sticks. Like what??? It’s brand new! How can this be? Will possibly return! I’m contacting Microsoft!

- Pros mentioned:Weight
Junk
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Garbage. Returned. Right out of the box the right joystick did not work. I loved the feel and the weight but when spending almost 200 dollars on a controller, it should be as trusty as the original Xbox one controller my toddler has thrown all over my house for the last four years.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Most have for online gaming
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good but not as good as first gen elite control. Like the feel and trigger controls better on this one.

||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would have given it 5 stars, but the right trigger is a little noisy...

Take caution when buying
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These controllers are great when they work. On the other hand, they wear out and break pretty easily which is the downside. The Geek Squad protection is a must have when purchasing this product, unfortunately.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend - Cons mentioned:Button quality
Overpriced Brick
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.On my 2nd series 2 elite controller. Returned the 1st with geek squad replacement due to buttons going bad. LB already out on replacement. Will send to Microsoft for repair but then selling. Not messing with this expensive brick anymore.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend - Cons mentioned:Stick drift
Dispointed
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ive returned 5 of these. Either stick drift or buttons get stuck. I mainly play rocket league or apex
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Pretty Good
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Didn't come out good the first time, joysticks had major drift. Had to return for another one. So far so good.
I would recommend this to a friendI wouldn’t waste your money
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Left stick drift and RB not registering within a week. I only bought the controller because it was on sale. If you’re gaming on Xbox just buy a battlebeaver instead. It’s worth the wait. If you’re on PC the ps5 controller is the best.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendOpen box controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So I got one of the open box deals and picked Excellent out of the good fair excellent nothing supposed to be missing pretty much new got it opened it up right away it’s missing the pedals no charging cord looked like someone got finished eating and using the controller crumbs in the case and oh the front left bumper was broke whoever excepted that return needs a talkin too
I would recommend this to a friendtoo expensive
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the series 1 better. too expensive for the left stick to malfunction within a couple months

Don’t buy if you’re wanting everything included
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had to exchange because for whatever reason the back paddles weren’t included so that’s an L. I get like all the extra thumb sticks and stuff but no paddles?!? Really Microsoft
No, I would not recommend this to a friendDO NOT BUY
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After 1 month of use this controller no longer functions properly. The thumbsticks stick and make ALL games unusable and neither Xbox or Best Buy will take it back. I could have purchased two controllers for the price of this and will do so next time. If you are going to buy this MAKE SURE that you get the coverage so it can be replaced, I guess the joke is on me for assuming a $150 controller would work longer than 1 month.
