    Expensive but worth it

    Initially, I was hesitant in purchasing this device solely because of its price tag. A friend suggested that the controller is worth the price: She was right. The elite controller feels premium and definitely feels leagues above the standard xbox and even series controller. The convenience of the paddles adds a layer of quickness that makes game play feel more immersive and smooth. A hefty price tag, but if you have the money it is well worth the price.

    Had it for some time now, build is much better than the original Elite controller but still shares some of its quality woes, especially when it comes to stick drift. They could really fix stick drift issues with an adjustable dead zone in their accessories program, but I digress. Still the best feeling controller I've used by a mile.

    The controller is great, responsive, and has all the bells and whistles you expect for an elite controller. I wish I had known that the mapping would be limited to the games.

    By far the heaviest of the XBox controllers out there mainly due to a 40 hour rechargeable battery. The rubberized grips do make it a much more pleasant controller to use. Easier to hold on to. The variety of buttons and sticks is always nice and they are simple and easy to replace. Extra buttons with three button profiles to save to. With an indicator light to tell you which profile you are using. The charging hub is not large and can easily sit on top of the console. Con: Expensive!

    Best Controller so far

    Definitely one of the most user friendly and well thought controllers around. Well worth the premium if you use a console controller frequently. I will say the triggers aren’t adaptive but manually modified so I’d love to see Microsoft’s take at adaptive triggers. Sony had a good idea but I don’t believe the execution was the greatest and would love to see it make its way towards Microsoft’s design.

    I got this Remote Controller for my Xbox. However, after getting my gaming PC recently, I found that it works well with it. I especially like the back paddles and the fact that you can customize them to whatever button you want. The controller feels solid and comfortable on my hands. I do not think I will be going back to any other controller after using the Elite 2

    This controller is much better than the series 1. I especially like the adjustable tension of the joysticks. No problems with stick drift like the last series. Only complaint I have is the A button sticks occasionally and there is an inconsistent pressure it takes for each paddle to trigger. Overall it is a complete upgrade from the standard controller!

    Bought this as a gift for my husband (why). He loves it but that means I'll never see him again since he will now be a gaming master with this controller. He said this is the best controller option for xbox. It definitely expensive in my opinion but it provides more options and setting for the "everyday" gamer.

    I love this controller feels amazing very customizable however it does have some down sides doesn’t last long used it for 11 months before stick drift started. Widely known issue Microsoft was fixing some but not mine it was out by 2 weeks and won’t cover it. This is a very expensive investment to last 11 months with no abuse and moderate game play.

    I've held a few controllers in my hands, from the stock xbox controller, to the elite series 1 and 2. Let me say the most enjoyable controller for my gaming experience has been the elite series 2. With interchangeable thumbsticks, trigger stops to reduce the range of motion in FPS games, and paddles placed very well on the back of the controller, the elite series 2 certainly feels like it elevates my gameplay. I would certainly recommend it.

    This should be the standard for all controllers to achieve. The amount of tweaking and customizing is insane, and only goes to show how much care Microsoft put into this controller. Travel case, charging dock, swappable d-pads/control sticks, textured grips, cables, tension tool, programmable profiles, trigger stops, paddles, I mean, I don't know what else they could do to make this thing even better. My hat goes off to you, Bravo!

    We bought this for our son's 12th birthday and he was so very excited about it. Apparently he had been wanting it because his friend has one and we didn't even know it. The versatility is great and we love that it charges in the case. He is obsessed with Fortnite so he gets a lot of use out of it. Great controller and highly recommend for the advanced gamers. My only complaint is how much it costs. As a mom and not a gamer I don't understand why it's so expensive...

    Very comfortable, and a lot of customization features. If you're a fan of the first one then you will definitely enjoy this one. Only downside is that it doesn't let you download controller schemes already created by other people like the first controller did. Also I had for a year and the RB button is starting to fail. Will have to be replaced

    this is just sweet! very high end controller compared to the basic one or even the Elite from a few years ago. I love the grip and handle. the charger is well designed. it has four extra paddles in the back which I am sure someone knows how to program, but right now are preset.
