    Game changer!

    This controller has been a literal game changer. I’m only disappointed I didn’t buy one sooner. You really notice how much better it is once you get it all set up and then switch back to the standard controller. My KD is way up since I changed to this controller. With FPS games thousandths of a second can be all the difference. This makes you faster and more precise and with the paddles you no longer have to take. Your fingers off other controls giving you the advantage.

    If you want the best and most durable controller on the market for your gaming needs, look no further. I had a normal Xbox One X controller and I liked the improvments that they made when the Series X came out however I couldn't shake the feeling that it was an overall cheap feeling controller. That's when I had to pony up for something with a little more weight and durability. The weight of the controller is perfect and the rubberized palm areas are great for grip. I don't really play fighting games so I don't use the D-Pad piece that you see in the pictures, just the normal one you would see on any controller. The ability to change the trigger stops at 3 different positions is very nice and a great addition from the older Elite controller. Overall everything has a nice click and solid feel, hopefully with the right care this thing will be the last controller you'll ever need.

    Love this remote!! The back paddles are a must and no battery pack is so great. The battery life is still good even after having this remote for 2 years.

    If you like the ability to customize your controller with different analog stick options, interchangeable D-pads, four additional buttons, and being able to tweak both the triggers and the analog sticks then this is the controller for you. Even with the pretty high price tag, this is a good controller thanks to its customization, rubber grips, and not have to deal with batteries anymore. Plus it comes with a carrying case that can also charge the controller as well in addition to holding all the left over accessories. This controller for sure feels premium thanks especially to how it’s made. The bumpers, triggers, D-pad, and the analog sticks are made of metal which gives it a heavier feel in comparison to your average Xbox controller if you like having more weight in your controller. Looking past the price point, this controller cones highly recommended to hardcore Xbox gamers and for those who love customization.

    Bought this as a replacement for my faulty Astro C40 controller which is now discontinued. Fortunately I was able to easily return that for this Elite controller through the Geek Squad replacement program which I highly reccomend for any controller if you're a heavy gamer. Regardless, the controller is great. I wish it was slightly larger for my bigger hands but thats just preference. I think this controller is a great value considering the included accessories you get, not forcing you to buy them seperately. The software you download via microsoft is also pretty sharp and gives you lots of options to fine tune your controller. Probably not the most optimal choice for pro gamers but a nice addition to your collection if you want something a bit more customizable then your standard controller.

    I love my elite controller and wouldn’t go back to regular one, but if you’re a heavy player I’d suggest getting warranty. The actual controller bumpers tend to break fairly quickly and I hope they build something more durable in the next gen. Also wished they add more colors/customization.

    This controller feels great and can be customized in many different ways with the kit it comes with. However, I returned this item 4 times because the joysticks did not feel smooth, especially the left one, and clicked every time i would move it in a different direction. The one i'm left with still seemed to have that issue every once in a while though it seems to have reduced over time.

    Controller was in excellent cosmetic condition, but unfortunately the Y and B face buttons were sticky and required firmer pushing to activate.

    Love the self charging option. I was due for an upgrade and this is a beast. Love the heavier feel and crisp controls compared to old elite and especially the standard controller.

    The Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller is a remarkable masterpiece that redefines precision and customization in gaming. Designed with utmost attention to detail, this controller exemplifies excellence in both form and function. The customization options are unparalleled, offering an array of interchangeable thumbsticks, paddles, and D-pads. These let you fine-tune your controller to suit your playstyle, giving a competitive edge in any game. Furthermore, the addition of adjustable tension on the thumbsticks provides enhanced control and responsiveness. absolutely would recommend this incredible piece of hardware!!

    The controller is durable and comfortable to hold, with a long-lasting battery life. Overall, the Elite Series 2 is an excellent choice for gamers who want the best possible experience. Keep in mind that the Elite Series 2 is a premium controller and priced accordingly. If you're a casual gamer, a standard controller may be sufficient. But if you're serious about your gaming and want the best possible edge, the Elite Series 2 is a great option.

    Most premium feeling controller on the market but has hard time staying in tact if you’re a heavy gamer. I’d say a protection plan on this controller is almost necessary for anyone who plays more than a couple times a week.

    By far the best controller on the market for any system! Hands down 1,000x better than standard Xbox controller and blows away the PS5 controller too. Thumbsticks have a perfect balance of smooth and tight. Buttons have a very satisfying n mechanical click. The variable triggers make it so easy to switch between a short travel for shooters and a long travel for racing or throttle based games
