Love the Elite Series2 cost vs features I like that I can use rechargeable batteries

Best controller out there especially at a perfect price

Had to purchase this controller twice and here is why. I bought the “Open Box” the is supposedly checked by the Geek Squad. The first controller the right shoulder button was dead. I mean i can check this using the Xbox diagnostics.. so clearly no one at the Geek Squad checked this unit. The next open box in “excellent condition “ was missing the charging cable and not in the retail box. The Best Buy refurb is a joke..avoid it and shop Amazon… they actually check their devices.

The high price tag is worth it and the paddles are a game changer. It feels like a premium controller. I use this controller for steam and pc games. it works great and you charge it with the carrying case.

Big improvement over the series one as far as functionality. The hair trigger is much better the fact you can tighten the joy sticks to your liking is a added plus gives you better feed back. To me it doesn’t feel as sturdy as the series one though. The bumper buttons seem a little weaker. But the control feels slimmer which again in my opinion is better. Still think it is over priced but still a great controller if you want to spend the money

I brought this for my son for Christmas he was very happy to get it. He loved everything about it

The series 2 is an improvement for the most part. Paddles feel more comfortable to use and hand grips better. Love the 360 style thumb sticks Watch out for: The rubber pads on trigger locks. They might fall off and pinch you to let you know they're not there anymore. Eventually you don't notice it missing. The rubber grips vastly improved on by first controller but some times pop up from long term use. Just pop it back in and it should fix it. Get a warranty just in case :)

This purchase was for a replacement of first Elite Controller. Great great controller BUT it is definitely more fragile. One of the critical control buttons decided to not work, thus rendering this controller useless for battle. Buy the extended warranty from BestBuy on this item. At $150 for a replacement, the 2 year warranty price is really worth it. Not Best Buy’s fault that this controller broke. C’mon Microsoft. Add a cost effective warranty extension.

Been gaming for 20 yrs....had the OG xbox all the way to Xbox X using the normal controller. The controller started sticking on the trigger and buttons, and I was getting more time on competitive Destiny 2 so I said "what the heck...let's bite the bullet and see". This Elite controller is cheating. Period. By all measures higher quality. You will have trouble getting used to the paddles, but keep on it. Enjoy playing competitive SIGNIFICANTLY more. Would/will buy again in the future, which I hope is a while away based on the build quality.

My fiancé bought this controller for me and it is the best controller. I love the quality and the extra paddles that comes with the controller.

The best controller you could ever buy for Xbox and pc. Would be 5 stars, except the bumpers can’t seem to last longer than a couple of years. Definitely get the replacement plan on it. Other thank that, it’s comfortable, solid, highly customizable and extremely precise.

This is an awesome controller!!! I never purchased a pro controller before until i got a series x, and so far im very impressed with this premium upgrade, i also purchased a scuf instinct pro and both controllers feel amazing the only gripe i have with the elite 2 is the heavyweight it has, also ive read online about the elites v2 having poor quality and reliability issues, i hope its just people being to ruff with the controller and not a real quality issue.

Amazing controller! The customization is insane. Compatible with Xbox Series X/S & PC. It's my daily driver. I love it. My only issue was that after a couple of years the shoulder buttons are now really sensitive and will register multiple clicks with one push. Fortunately I have the RB LB buttons mapped to the back buttons, so its not a big deal. If this happens to you call MS immediately so they can replace it while still under warranty.

Now when i first saw the price i was shocked and almost turned away. But then i saw that there is NO battery pack and its just rechargeable. For this reason alone i bought it. I was pleasantly surprised however, the quality and feel of the controller is probably the best xbox even PlayStation controller i felt. It doesnt have the haptic feedback/adaptive triggers of the ps5’s controller, but as far as the xbox goes, if you have the money or this is on sale, id highly recommend it.

I really enjoy the elite 2 controller because of the additional under buttons

This remote was recommend by a Best Buy and it been amazing! Love everything about this remote

Loving the staff @best buy…everyone I encountered was nice and very informative!!

Controller features is a FIVE STAR. the extra features are great, the four paddles, extra joysticks, tunable resistance on the joysticks. i've been using nothing but an elite 2 for the past few years. The downside, and it's a major one, is the controller durability. Since 2020 I've exchanged controllers about 8 times. I play a lot of warzone and the bumper buttons (LB, RB) are always the first buttons to start losing responsiveness. Usually one joystick will get stick drift, sometimes bothe will get it. Depending on how much you game, buy the $60, 2 year waranty.

Got this due to 1st gen elite controller breaking again. Had few problems with the first gen and seems Xbox fixed most of those problems with this second gen. Seems like the paddles are smaller then first gen elite and and the third trigger stop seems like it turns the trigger into a button with the limited rage of motion, which is probably going to take some time to get used to. Favorite upgrade from the first gen to second has to be the analog resistance control. Thought the resistance function wouldn’t be used be definitely find it useful. Would definitely recommend as long as it holds up longer then the first gen elite controller.

Would recommend if you are going to be doing PC gaming and want a premium feeling controller.
