    What an upgrade from an xbox one controller. A nice premium feel and easy to pair. Also huge bonus that you can adjust the analog sticks in case you have stick drift

    Xbox knows these elite controllers will break easily so instead of fixing the overall issue they make a controller that doesn’t come with a case or extra buttons. Its their way to cheap out and make the consumer pay more and more for their mistakes. Works fine but be warned once you use these its hard to not and you’re stuck buying expensice controllers.

    Finally decided to spend the money on a fancy controller. I paired this for my PC and works great. The controller feels high quality and feels great in your hands. Also like the different button options available to customize to your liking.

    I had the first elite controller and this is a far superior product. The textures, plastics and finishes are just better. The buttons are clickier. The additional tension features on the sticks are amazing. Just buy it with a warranty.

    Really levels up your FPS experience. Takes a while to get used to the paddles but it’s a game changer if you’re trying to keep your thumbs on the sticks!

    the customization and feel of this controller is fantastic. I have the first one and the changes with this one is par with what you would expect. Ive always been terrible with controllers and wanted to try the elite and have not been disappointed at all. The elite 2 is smaller but heavier than the first I prefer the size of the original but I weight of the second one is better in my opinion. I like the fact that you can change how stiff the sticks are and the paddles underneath are also stiff which is great. In the original if you set it down just right the paddles would press and with this second elite you have more freedom of where to place your controller. I set it down on the arm of my chair. One last thing is I'm glad that they finally included the battery.

    For being an open box buy, this controller works fantastic! Paddles on the back are fantastic for the extra control slots I use for multiple games. Snag one if you can!

    Every button has an authoritative, reassuring press, but lowering to 4 stars because it's not quite as durable as you'd think. The vibration motors have begun rattling the chassis juuuust enough to where it's noticeable, and the rubber, textured grip has come loose up near the shoulder buttons. While in a different league entirely to the base controller, the Elite 2 is truly great... for ~8 months. Low-great, high-good thereafter.

    Theres alot of negative stigma around this controller. But out of the box, absolutely no issues. Its the Cadillac of controllers. Its feels great, the sticks snap right back to the middle and best of all no stick drift. I definitely recommend the geek squad coverage because if something does go wrong in the next two tears, they can replace it with a new one. No regrats. And use the case to keep it clean, that the biggest maker of stick drift.

    Confusing name - not the "premium" version.

    This one was a bit of a letdown. I upgraded from the original Elite controller because that one requires a USB dongle to connect to my machine and was hoping for the same experience. This one feels cheaper, has some weird issues with connectivity, and overall disappoints in the aesthetics department. Otherwise, it's a decent controller and I'd recommend these over third-party brands any day.
