    This controller is legit! For the price point you can’t beat it. It’s smooth and has magnetic thumb pads to customize it to your liking. I’ll definitely buy another one!

    This is a fantastic controller. I recently upgraded from having the base controllers and I am very happy with the built in battery that keeps me from either blowing through batteries or buying a battery pack and forgetting to charge the batteries. The controller feels very solid and well made in hand and the textured grip is awesome for when I get Sweaty hands

    If you're an fps player, back paddles are sure to elevate your gameplay. The controller feels good in the hand, has good connection, and comes with more attachments than you'll need. Get two so one can be in the shop, because they have several known issues like bumper sensors dying and stick drift. Even with that, I still don't want to go back to regular controllers.

    Love the elite series controllers. Heavy in the hand and made with good materials. Wish it had Hall Effects but still a great controller all in all.

    Love all the features of this controller, feels solid and of good quality. Some people complain about the weight but it makes it feel premium to me. I suggest get the the geek squad protection since I feel like no controller is safe from the eventual stick drift or a button messing up.

    better controller than a scuf. the padding for your hands keeps it from getting sweaty from food grease if you eat and play and its alot more durable and last a lot longer than scuf controllers. scuf controllers break so easy. ive had 3 scufs in 3 years and only 1 xbox elite series 2 controller for 2 years with no issues and the back paddles are easily replaceable for like 10 bucks on amazon

    Good improvements over the first version

    All I can say is they improved an already great controller. Battery life is way better than the first version and I like the improved grips your palms rest on. And for those upset that you can't change the batteries, I feel its now a mute point. They have a very long a generous USB-C charging cable and the controller has no issues being used while charging (unlike some that can tend to drop the signal when this occurs). The only odd thing both a friend and I have noticed (we purchased at the same time) is that the Xbox button can be a bit off when pressing to turn on/off and other functions. It seems the click point is not as centered as the pervious version and is s bit more toward the right bottom of the circle.

    Highly customizable software-based function binding. Strong battery life and it charges quickly. Nice storage/carry case if you need it. Charger stand allows you to display controller standing upright, and out of the way until needed and so you can easily grab it from the stand. Excellent build quality, controller feels solid during use and has a set of replacement thumb-paddles/sticks and D-pad. The grippy surface allows for better grip over the smooth standard plastic surface. Wireless connectivity has been excellent, not a single issue. Stupid expensive. and only a 1-yr warranty.

    Solid feel, rechargable, pretentiously expensive

    Feels like about 100 dollars worth of controller for the low low price of 200 dollars. Honestly it has some neat features, the typical things found on previous iterations of elite and scuf controllers but with added things like 3 quick change profiles, adjustable stick tension and a very long lasting recharablge battery pack that recharges when placed back inside its case. I'll be eager to see if my favorite microsoft controller feature will make a triumphant return on the elite version 2....stick drift, it's been missing so far, but its not outside its factory warranty period...so there's still time.

    Almost Perfect

    While its a great controller it does have its problems. Mine worked great for literally 31 days and the right trigger started creaking when in hair trigger mode. Wasn't necessarily a big deal because it still worked BUT being the controller is 225 after tax and almost 300 with warranty (which yes, you should absolutely buy as I have it) youd expect some rigid materials that can stand the test of time and practical use. 4 out of 5 for me. If youre lucky and get a model thats perfect, its the best controller on the planet. Hands down. With geek squad protection you can just get it swapped out and continue trucking.

    Best Controller for Xbox

    Look this thing isn’t cheap. If you’re a pro-level gamer, get it. Likes nice things, get it. Likes to have more options than you know what to do with it, get it. If none of that applies to you, don’t get it. The regular controller more than fits the bill for most gamers. Here’s a quick Pros/Cons list. Pros: -Incredible battery life -More customization features than the Series 1 Elite controller -Feels well built, great quality feeling -Built in dock-to-charge feature with charge enabled case Cons: -Pricey $$ -Slight learning curve with the new features, more so if this is your experience with this type of controller -Mostly likely you will never share this controller with anyone else lol
