    I used the Series 1 for many hours and loved it. This Series 2 is improved in every area. The grip feels slightly off at first, but after some use, it feels great and grippy. The rechargeable battery is great and it’s awesome that you can put the controller in its case to charge. The thumb stick options are better this time around as well as the paddles. Love that you can adjust tension of thumbsticks this time around.

    The most versatile controller there is. Easier customization than other controller and the memory slots are saved to the controller using the X-box accessories app.

    I had purchased the XBox Elite 2 Controller because I've always wanted to try one and see what all the hype was about. First thing I noticed when purchasing this was how heavy the box was. Second, the build quality is just amazing. Third, the controls make a difference. Fourth, it was on sale as part of Best Buy's 15 days of gaming sales event leading up to Christmas.

    What's better than an Xbox one elite controller? An Xbox one elite series 2 controller. More options, more programs, they fixed the issue with the paddles getting in the way of your fingers wrapped around the bottom of the controller. 3 programmable settings for 3 different games instead of 2 with the previous controller. Price us crazy high tho, add in the extended warranty and that's alot of costco pizza i could buy

    I absolutely LOVE this controller. There are negative reviews for it though with buttons sticking and bumpers breaking but tbh I just think some people don't treat their belongings very well. Ive had no issues and love how easy it is to use. The back paddles do take some getting use to but once you do its very hard to go back to anything else. The battery is rechargeable through USB c and its good for about 40 hours.

    I didn’t think the controller was worth it. I decided to buy it with a coupon I found. After using it for a few hours and getting use to the extra controls I am not able to go back to a standard controller. This controller has helped me tremendously. I recommend this to anyone trying to get a slight advantage in game. Also no more batterys!!!

    I was hesitant to purchase this controller based off the reviews, but I’m glad I gave it a chance. I honestly cannot find a single flaw on this controller. I’m not sure how Microsoft or anyone else could top this. The price is absolutely worth it in my opinion.

    Great controller, lots of customization available for mapping and trigger sensitivity. Has a built in rechargeable battery that seems to last forever. I can start gaming in the morning and 12 hours later it still says it’s at full. I also like that you can charge it in the case with either the usbc cable or the magnetic dock. Only time will tell how long the battery will last as it ages but so far it’s the best controller I have ever owned.

    The quality & customization of this controller are excellent. There’s a little bit too much play due to the interchangeable joysticks causing a dead zone. Buttons don’t register sometimes not sure if this is a software issue. GET RID OF THE PLAYSTATION JOYSTICK AND REPLACE WITH MID-HIGH JOYSTICK , there’s no in between height analog joystick.

    This is the controller whether you are a casual gamer or a serious gamer this is the controller to purchase. Perfect weight interchangeable sticks and pads wire triggers with hi end metals! Includes charging port and a hi quality feel also no lag! Comparable with PC and Xbox one and Series X or S. Buy it you will not regret the purchase, it from Best Buy get points and buy the insurance plan for peace of mind.

    Amazing overall however, the durability is not quite there for the price. On my 2nd controller due to wear and tear or button smashed inside controller in 3 years. Otherwise, it's very nice feeling and works great

    I was kind of disappointed at first because my A button was sticking. I had to return it to get a new and they were sold out. I loved the first Elite controller and think they are some of the best mod controllers on the market. I had a skud controller for my PS4 in the shape of Xbox controller and it just did not have the same feel.

    2 months in and I'm happy with the series 2! The smaller paddles make a big difference when your using the 4 paddles. The big seller on this model is the full grip and does it help when your playing a hot session on a FPS. So far not button or paddle problems and everything charges according. Charges last about 2x long that the previous controllers. Overall a better buy. My only grind is the previous elite controller felt heavier but that's a personal grind.

    Really like this controller. Comes with different stick options. Really like optional taller stick (wish it came with two instead of one). Also has the ability to adjust the tension on the sticks with the included tool USB C connection. Includes nice case and charging dock. Battery is built into the controller so not replaceable. Battery life is excellent!
