    I’ve been very happy with this controller, it is a massive upgrade over the Xbox one controller and works very nicely with my ROG Ally. I bought mine refurbished, and have had no issues with it. The battery life and condition are both excellent. I would recommend getting the paddles for the back from a third party, as it does improve the overall experience.

    The Red Elite 2 controller is a game-changer in every sense. From the moment you hold it, you can feel the premium build quality and attention to detail. The customizable options allow for a tailored experience, whether you're a competitive gamer or just looking for more comfort and precision. The trigger stops and adjustable thumbsticks make gameplay smoother, while the additional paddles provide quick access to commands without missing a beat. Battery life is solid, and the grip is comfortable even during long sessions. It’s clear that a lot of thought went into making this controller durable and reliable. If you're serious about your gaming, the Red Elite 2 is a worthy investment.

    This is Top notch controller on the market this purchase was actually my second one because I fell in love with the first . Controller feel in the hand is 5/5 Customization is simple 5/5 Mapping and U.I simple user friendly 5/5 I’ve had other customizable controllers but they were to complicated to use every week there was a firmware update and the quality felt cheap . The only downside is that this controller does NOT come with a wireless dongle . I’m still going to give the controller 5 stars but in the future XBOX / Microsoft please add the wire dongle in the box .

    Stick Drift

    Replacement for same one I bought last year that already had bad stick drift. These last longer than the regular Xbox controllers but still incredibly prone to stick drift after a few months of even light use. Also crazy they don’t even provide the accessories anymore on these besides the basic sticks.

    I love this controller. As an owner of an Elite 1 controller I can tell you this is a bug upgrade over that. The new design of the paddles.makes it so much easier to use because they are smaller and better places whereas with the elite 1 they were big and could easily be hit as well as feel awkward when gaming. I use this controller to play both on PC and Xbox series X. My only complaint is the nubs to set the trigger stop on each side fell off which is a weird thing to.have happen for such a high priced item. I primarily use this to play Call of Duty Warzone.

    Get a USB dongle for wireless PC gaming

    The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 is one of the best feeling controllers I have ever used. The build quality overall is great, and modularity is a bonus. The options to wirelessly charge or using the USB-C cable is also great. Battery life has been awesome for how often I use the controller for PC gaming. This controller connects to your PC by either pairing via Bluetooth, direct connection using the included USB-C cable, or by purchasing a separate Microsoft USB dongle. I have not had any stick drift issues thus far, but I did purchase the extended warranty from Microsoft for $20. I bought this controller on sale which in my opinion is still expensive for what this is. If this was a controller at the $120 price, it would definitely be worth it. Likes: Build quality, modularity, battery life; hard shell case, all the cables included Dislikes: Poor Bluetooth connectivity Oh, by the way: After connecting this controller to my newly built PC, it struggled to keep a wireless connection. This controller worked perfectly fine when directly connected. I downloaded all the drivers necessary and tried some other trouble shooting recommendations, but in the end, the Bluetooth on this controller just plain sucks. I went and purchased the Microsoft controller USB dongle and all my wireless connection issues were resolved with this controller. If you want wireless play via PC, the USB dongle is a much buy unfortunately.

    I’ve been using the Xbox Elite Series 2 Core controller for a while now, and it’s honestly a game-changer. Customizable buttons are the greatest. The ability to swap out thumbsticks and adjust the trigger sensitivity also help a lot. It feels solid and substantial in your hands. The battery life, is a huge plus—no need to constantly charge it (though I usually do). It also survived a bluberry beer spill almost immediately after unboxing. Bonus. The only downside I've found is the price, which is why I took so long to buy one.

The rechargeable battery ensures up to 40 hours of gameplay, and the swappable components allow for a personalized gaming experience tailored to your style. Bluetooth connectivity and a durable carrying case add to its versatility, making it a worthwhile investment for serious gamers seeking a competitive edge.

    Plays well, the paddles work and is a good replacement for when your original Xbox Elite Series 2 controller starts to get old. However, the bumpers of the controller seem unresponsive sometimes and may require you to press harder on them.
