    Best Controller

    This controller is by far the best one. I have a Series 1 and I like it but, the grip portion will come off. But so far I have been using and making the Joy Stick adjustment and it is awesome and you feel and see the difference on the accuracy of the movement. I like the fact that I can charge it and use it for 40 hrs, I haven’t tested it the 40 hrs, but I like being connected when I play FPS.The back paddles feel better at their current location, better than the series 1. Let see after time how this controller operates.

    I think Microsoft went above and beyond with this controller. It’s super comfortable to hold, it’s a good weight and the mapping is immaculate. I love the paddles and the interchangeable joysticks. If you want to invest money into another controller, make it this one.

    Love the controller, it is amazingly effective and feels great. However, I had to purchase a second one after the first one started having problems after a year. Love it though so bought a new one at full price. Would only buy if you won't be hurting after your 200 controller starts to break down in a year. Use it for Halo, COD, and Skyrim.

    Nothing too special. If you have the money and really could use the additional buttons or customization, then you would appreciate all the features. I wish the rubber was a little more grippy. I haven't had any issues with mine and hoping I dont, but have heard of others having issues. I think for what you are getting, its a bit pricey.

    I had the 1st gen and unlike many, never had any problems at all. Played a lot of hours and eventually wore out the coating on a thumb stick. This is similarly nice and expensive feeling but has usb c for faster/easier charging and it also has Bluetooth. This is especially nice for use with a PC because you don’t need that adapter that older Xbox One Controllers needed to pair with a gaming computer. It will also work with the upcoming Xboxes for this fall so your purchase is future proof.

    This is a great improvement from the original elite controller. The grip is extended from just the backing to the front, back, and triggers. The multi-stage trigger locks were surprisingly more helpful. The controller also has more software settings and setting “slots”. Two biggest improvements to me are the new paddles which are a bit smaller making it less cumbersome to use all four and of course the integrated rechargeable battery pack takes the cake. Definitely a top shelf controller!

    I have the Series 1 and this is def an improvement, it feels heavier to me. Also the wireless/plugless charging makes it so much better than the series one. It also feels tighter to me, could be a placebo. Using it on my XBox Series XX with no issues. Best to get this when it goes on sale as the price is steep. Should be included as an upgraded option when you purchase the new X Box Series X. This is really for those who need it not your average gamer to be quite honest.

    Pinnacle of gaming controllers. Textured grips for a nice comfortable feel. Adjustable stick tension for increased/decreased sensitivity. Back paddles that provide extra buttons which in turn give more versatility. Trigger stops that give you a more intense and short haired pull for a the gamers who need that split second reaction time. All in all, just an excellent gaming controller to take your performance to the next level.

    Lots of customization options available and more comfortable than the standard Xbox controller. I think mostly competitive players can appreciate its features but still worth while if you know what you dislike about the standard controller. Biggest issue is you can't easily swap the battery, which is disappointing considering the cost of this product.

    Love my Elite 2. I've tried other pro level controllers but went back to the Elite 2. Love its weight and how customizable it is. Be sure to get the warranty though, they're not fragile but their lifespan is notoriously bad. Ive gone through 2 but thanks to the warranty replacing them was a breeze.

    This controller has the best build quality of any controller of all time. The weight feels excellent in the hand and the wrap around grips make the feel even better. The paddles have a new feel to them that the original elite controller did not have and it feels great. The whole controller immediately feels more precise and quality than the regular xbox controller. This is completely worth it if you have the money.

    I was umm skeptical that a controller costing this much would feel like it was worth the scratch. I'm a enjoy the game at my own pace kind of gamer. So buy a controller like this? Well it's just better quality for one. Being able to shorten the top triggers is a great feature for when you need to button bash through a boss fight. I've only had this controller a month so I can't speak for it's longevity but so far I'm happy I invested.
