    Ive had the original Elite v1 since it came out. Ive owned multiple XBox's of every generation and have a dozen controllers in my house. I much prefer the Elite controller over all other standard controllers. It just feels better. Ive not owned other brands except a Razer from back in the day but I also prefer the standard Xbox layout/size. Several years and several thousands of hours later, the rubber grip panels on my original elite popped off. The glue failed. I found replacements for cheap and I continue to use it. Its not 100% the same but its close enough. I game on Xbox and PC and got tired of using a non-elite controller on one or the other depending on the game I was playing (I re-pair often). Enter the Elite 2. So, the 2 has bluetooth whereas the original 1 did not. I have the wireless dongle so thats not a feature for me but, it would allow you to use 1 controller for both PC and XBox. Ive owned several BT Xbox controllers and prefer to use the wireless dongle on PC. An improvement over the 1 is there is no longer a groove in the plastic under the middle fingers. Seems odd to mention but hours of playing, the 1 would give me irritation on top of both middle fingers where the plastic joins. This is gone on the 2. Plus. Adjustability on the 2 is also improved. You can adjust the tension of the sticks. I have no desire to do so as it feels like the typical XBox controller Ive been using for like 20 years or whatever. There are now 3 levels of adjustment for trigger travel as well. I mentioned earlier about the 1 causing irritation on top of the middle fingers. The new trigger travel adjusters have moved ever so slightly so now, I feel them on the top of my middle finger tips all the time. The adjusters feel a bit larger as well. They are rounded and not painful. No irritation. I just notice them. On the 1, they were smaller, and barely there on the pads of my middle finger tips depending on the game I played. I dont use the back triggers and removed them from both the 1 and the 2 day 1. I cant comment on the difference if any. I dont use them. The 1 had a replaceable battery like a standard controller but required a micro USB cable just like every other Xbox controller since inception. The 2 is not easily replaceable and requires cracking it open. It does come with a dock. I wont use it personally as it has USB C and thats my preference when it needs charged. I dont doubt the battery will last for years but, Id prefer a user replaceable battery over an included dock. My preference. Lastly, the 1 had a more rubberized grippy feel. After a few years, they did fail. The 2 is more plastic feeling. Its hard to describe but the 1 didnt have a texture on the top of the controller whereas the 2 does which is the part that kind of makes it feel less grippy. Both are plasticy and rubbery / grippy but the 2 is just, well, feels less grippy to me. I dont feel like its going to fall out of my hands but its a different feel than the 1. Its like a new gen Series X/S controller kind of in the texture department but with some (10%?) rubberized feel. Its difficult to explain. I dont consider it a Pro or a Con its just, different. All in all, I much prefer the Elite controllers over the standard Xbox controllers. They just feel better in hand to me. I have no experience with Scuf. I dont use the back / underside triggers. Id prefer a replaceable battery over a dock. All that said, the 1 last me a very long time and thats why I bought the 2. No regrets.

    I’ll start by saying I paid for it with credit card rewards- so I didn’t have to pay any extra for it. While it’s a bit pricey, I do love it and am glad I got it. It’s very comfortable, the metal pieces are really nice and it just feels better than a regular controller. I dropped it once from maybe two feet up, some of the metal pieces popped out but they popped right back in because they’re magnetic, which is actually really cool. No issues with stick drift (yet) after a few months of use. Love it so far.

    The Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller is a game-changer when it comes to gaming peripherals. As an avid gamer, I've had the pleasure of using various controllers over the years, but this one stands out from the crowd. It's clear that Microsoft has put a tremendous amount of thought and effort into designing a controller that truly enhances the gaming experience. First and foremost, the build quality of the Elite Series 2 Controller is exceptional. It feels sturdy and well-crafted in your hands, providing a premium feel that surpasses most other controllers on the market. The combination of the textured grip and the adjustable tension on the analog sticks adds a level of precision and control that is simply unmatched. Whether you're engaging in intense first-person shooter battles or executing complex maneuvers in a racing game, the controller responds with remarkable accuracy. One of the standout features of the Elite Series 2 is the customizable buttons and paddles. The controller comes with a set of interchangeable components, allowing you to tailor the layout to your preferences. The addition of four paddles on the back is a game-changer, providing easy access to additional inputs without needing to remove your thumbs from the analog sticks. With the Xbox Accessories app, you can remap buttons, adjust trigger sensitivity, and save different profiles for various games or playstyles. This level of customization is a boon for competitive gamers and those seeking optimal control in every gaming scenario. Battery life is another area where the Elite Series 2 excels. The built-in rechargeable battery offers an impressive 40 hours of gameplay on a single charge, which is more than enough for even the most extended gaming sessions. Additionally, the controller comes with a charging dock, making it incredibly convenient to keep your controller charged and ready to go at all times. The controller also boasts Bluetooth connectivity, allowing for seamless pairing with both Xbox consoles and Windows 10 PCs. The low-latency connection ensures a lag-free gaming experience, which is crucial for competitive gaming or when playing fast-paced action games. While the Elite Series 2 Controller undoubtedly delivers an exceptional gaming experience, it does come with a premium price tag. However, considering the build quality, customization options, and overall performance, I believe the investment is well worth it for serious gamers who want the best controller on the market. In conclusion, the Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller sets a new standard for gaming controllers. It combines excellent build quality, customization options, and outstanding performance to provide a truly immersive gaming experience. If you're a dedicated gamer who values precision and control, this controller is a must-have addition to your gaming setup.

    For what u paid for (used) it’s great! Unfortunately I was expecting to come in its original box but didn’t, which it’s still ok. It came with everything, the controller was spotless and scratch less too! But, as I expected for a used item, the left trigger had some registering problems on its lowest setting, besides that the rest of the controller works perfectly.

    Good quality feeling controller, awesome that it includes a charging dock, worth the price for a major upgrade to the original controller that comes included with the console. Would be better if they used Hall effect thumb sticks, or at least have them be interchangeable for when they wear out

    Excellent controller... But "A" button issues

    The best controller on the market for Xbox or PC. Build quality is great, has good weight to it, love the lack of cables and shiny appearance. But... How does a controller this expensive have so many issues with the buttons? Not even a week after buying this for my Jedi:Survivor play through on PC, it registers the "A" button about 9/10 times. Now, that sounds like a nitpick, but consider making a jump in a platformer ONLY 9/10 times by no fault of your own, after paying so much for a controller. You either need to press down HARD or press down perfectly nadir for it to register every time. Totally unacceptable for a controller of this price point. Why is it still "good"? Everything else is beyond wonderful, except the "A" button which many other users have reported issues with. Had it RMA'd and done custom fixes, nothing works. MS just had a poor "A" design I guess. Get it if you have money to spend and hope for the best. Or like using the paddles which work very nicely. Otherwise, I recommend the standard version. I have one too and has zero issues.

    I recently had the privilege of upgrading to the Xbox Elite Series 2 controller, and I can confidently say that it has completely transformed my gaming experience. This controller is a true masterpiece in every sense, and here's why I'm giving it a well-deserved 5-star review. The moment you pick up the Elite Series 2, you can feel the premium craftsmanship. It's sturdy, ergonomic, and feels great in your hands. The materials used are top-notch, and it's evident that Microsoft paid meticulous attention to detail. The ability to customize this controller to suit your gaming style is unparalleled. With adjustable thumbstick tension, swappable thumbsticks and D-pads, and programmable paddles on the back, you can fine-tune it to perfection. It's like having a controller tailored just for you. The Elite Series 2's performance is flawless. The responsiveness of the thumbsticks and the hair-trigger locks for faster shooting in FPS games give you a competitive edge. I've never experienced any input lag, and the controller's accuracy is on point. The battery life is impressive. A single charge lasts for many gaming sessions, and the included charging dock is convenient and ensures you're always ready for action. The companion app for the Elite Series 2 is a game-changer. It allows you to create and save multiple profiles, making it easy to switch between games with different control preferences. It's user-friendly and adds another layer of customization. Despite the hours of intense gaming, my Elite Series 2 still looks and functions like new. It's clear that Microsoft designed this controller to withstand the rigors of serious gaming. The controller connects seamlessly to my Xbox console, and the Bluetooth compatibility with Windows PCs makes it versatile. No fuss, just plug and play. In conclusion, the Xbox Elite Series 2 controller is an investment worth every penny for serious gamers. It's a game-changer in terms of customization, performance, and build quality. Whether you're into competitive eSports or just casual gaming, this controller will elevate your experience to a whole new level. It's not just a controller; it's a gaming masterpiece!
