    So I was skeptical at first about this purchase due to the mixed reviews. I’ve had this controller for about 6 months now and I can honestly say after countless hours and long nights playing the game, not to mention how many times I’ve accidentally dropped it on my hardwood floor that it still works perfectly. I’m here to tell you to go for it if you want to transition to paddles. I have and I’m not going back to regular controllers at least for FPS etc.

    The controller for the series X that comes with the console is awful. It’s click clack buttons and AA battery compartment are shameful. This controller however is the one that should have come with the system. As I’m writing this review it’s on sale for Total Tech members for $140.00 and it’s worth that easy. It’s every bit as good as any custom Scuff PS5 controller that are selling for $230.00. If you love your Xbox and hate the cheap controller they packaged with it here’s the remedy.

    Read alot of reviews about stick drift and issues with the elite and elite core. I’ve have had no issues so far and really enjoying the controller. I’ve had it for a couple weeks and pretty happy! I bought scuff paddles off amazon which i prefer over the microsoft paddles.

    I’ve bought this controller again and again, And will buy again if need. It lasts long and work extremely excellent. Then from customization to the mechanics work amazing. It also comes with a carry case along with interchangeable pieces. The best part is it’s also rechargeable. Not to also mention the adjustable triggers

    I got his for my boyfriend and he loves it! He has been wanting a new one and I don’t really know much about controls but this one is clean and very nice looking and it has different adjustable options. This is definitely a good investment if your partner plays games because this is controller is very easy to use the battery life on it last quite a while and as somebody who doesn’t really play games, it’s actually really easy to use, would recommend!

    My new favorite controller

    This controller has become my instant favorite. I have had many controllers over the years from Atari clear through to modern systems, and have preferred my Nintendo Switch Pro controller until now with my Xbox One controller being a distant second. I personally did not like the system included series x controller because of the dpad but this product has the ability to change dpads with ease and remedied that issue. The analog resistance features for the bumpers and thumb-sticks have been excellent between titles. The additional software type adjustments is phenomal once calibrated. It also lets a user save between different profiles for quick load. Throw in an adjustable color profile for the controllers backlight on the home button and it can be easy to quickly distinguish which profile is being used (outside the normal profile light indicator). The battery life is on par or better than the Nintendo Switch Pro controller and is leaps and bounds away from the recharchable package for the Xbox one.

    I thought this controller was all hype over-priced. I finally caved thinking i was going eventually return it and stick to my tutle beach recon once my victix went to trash. I will not use any controller except this elitr series 2. I just bought the core and bought scuff paddles and its next level. The response time and low low low latency is godly. I personally use it connected withba wire becuse imo wired everything beats wireless coming from a PC gamer but this controller is so precise without being wired its impressive. It honestly made me better playing For Honor. I may just grab another one if it goes on sale as a backup even though this controller is very well built. Compared to the victrix whixh feels like a piece of cardboard. This elite series 2 is no joke. Definitely not a fad or a hype. If you play xbox or pc with controller its this over anything. Dont even bother with a scuf. This is mind blowing next level precison.

    I'm not generally one to buy fancy controllers as I usually have a hard time justifying their price tags. This controller however, I do not regret purchasing. Being able to adjust the joystick tension makes it worth its price all on its own. The grip feels great in my hands and the battery life is exceptional. I finally have a switch pro replacement.

    So far this controller great from the multiple thumb sticks changing to the extra paddles. This controller is perfect for playing any first person shooter. I have connected this controller to my xbox series X, laptop, Smart tv (Samsung) and my phone and it works flawless with no issues. This is my go to controller all the time with multiple profiles i can set to for my games. The bulid of materials is great fits great in my hands. Go to elite series 2 on YouTube to find out more what you can do with the controller. That is what i did

    All the bells and whistles are nice, but the main feature are the paddles on the back. Being able to jump or crouch without taking your thumb off a stick is game changing(pun intended). The biggest issue is the actual quality. These things aren't built to last. Buttons stop working, grips peal, the paddles wear down, etc.

    Very heavy and sturdy controller, the additional paddles and buttons give it a lot more versatility to manage game play. Everything about it is sleek and high functioning. However there is some joystick drift after awhile and bumpers can start to lose sensitivity so keep in mind

    This remote is awesome. From the interchangable thumbsticks and hair triggers to the completely remappable paddles. Perfect for all types of gamers! You can tell the moment you pick it up this is a quality and durable product! Not to mention the fact that the case doubles as a charger when you set the cintroller inside!

    This controller is the next level in your gaming. You need look no further. Don’t get a scuff, don’t use a regular controller with popsicle sticks; invest in the series 2 elite controller. It’s customizable presets via the Xbox accessories app on the console, the adjustable tension in the joysticks, triggers, d-pad, and the alternate joysticks alongside the heavy and metal feel make this controller like no other. It is worth every cent.

    First one I bought had an issue with one of the paddle buttons. For something that costs this much they should have better quality control but took it back to best buy and replaced it the same day. Second unit was perfect. I had the series 1 before and this one feels even more solid than that one but between the two the newer one has smaller paddles which I wasnt too big a fan of. Luckily I could swap in my old paddles and now its great. Also a huge fan of the customizable home button colors and the resistance settings for the thumbsticks are also a nice touch compared to the previous version. I wanted to hold off until they came out with the series 3 but Im honestly glad I got this because I cant imagine what more they could do to improve upon this one besides adding gimmicky features. This is the ultimate controller and Im super happy with it.

    Very sturdy and robust controller, a long lasting controller as well,l have had another one for over a year and only within the last month did it start getting stick drift and that's me using it everyday for long periods. Highly recommend this controller to those who are serious about their gaming and that want a controller that's long lasting.
