    Refurbished Pro Controller

    I’ve been very happy with this controller, it is a massive upgrade over the Xbox one controller and works very nicely with my ROG Ally. I bought mine refurbished, and have had no issues with it. The battery life and condition are both excellent. I would recommend getting the paddles for the back from a third party, as it does improve the overall experience.

    Our son loves his MS Elite Series 2 wireless controller for Xbox and I can't imagine him gaming or using his Xbox without this wireless device. It has proven to be the most durable and best performing controller he has had the privilege of using to date. The photo is of the controller that is 9 months old and still in great condition!

    Amazing controller

    This controller is a game changer, being able to do multiple things at once with the paddles really improves how well you perform. Also being able to fine tune the controllers triggers and analog helps with being able to react much quicker when getting shot in games. It was a bit difficult for me to figure out what settings I wanted for certain games but the best way to find settings for me was to search up settings for specific games and then adjusting it to my liking. Overall positive experience.

    Love how customaizable it is with the changeable d-pad and the paddles. I was hesitant to use the paddles but once I got the hang of it and learned how to do the paddle assignments for my favorite games, it seriously is a game changer! I also LOVE how you simply dock it and it charges AND you can change the center Xbox button color!

    I've had other Elite controllers in the past (Series 1), and the updated Series 2 definitely feels like an update. The Red version is visually very pretty, feels great to hold in your hands, and the textured grips are great. It does feel like a premium product.

    Amazing Product, Definitely an upgrade over the original Xbox Elite Series 1 Controller! Thumb Stick tension adjuster is amazing, absolutely love it along with the Hair Trigger upgrade! Definitely improves gaming performance! This would definitely be a great gift for someone who own an Xbox One Console! This product is a 10/10 after owning a scuff controller for 2 years its quality definitely doesn't touch this amazing Controller, very solid and well made all around. Microsoft definitely knows what their doing with this controller. Just absolutely amazing!!

    Plays well, the paddles work and is a good replacement for when your original Xbox Elite Series 2 controller starts to get old. However, the bumpers of the controller seem unresponsive sometimes and may require you to press harder on them.

    Best controller ever made for the xbox

    First thought that came to my mind is that this is what every Xbox controller should be like feels very premier just like the PS five controller and also has USB-C to charge which is a huge downgrade on the regular controller that comes with the Xbox itself in 2022 we shouldn’t have to put batteries in our controllers as a new Xbox user on the series X I find it crazy that I had to buy another controller that was more up-to-date with what we handled today that’s why this controller get a five star for me for the fluidity smoothness and the rubber grip

    Excellent over product, amazing build quality, very durable, clean design. The main selling point of this product is the remmapable buttons and having the access to swap out mix and match back buttons, thumb sticks D-pad, and adjusting your trigger threshold to allow for a more comfortable experience. Over this a highly recommendable product for new and old gamers.

    This is my daily driver. It has been a noticeable upgrade for the original Elite controller. I had ran into stick drift after using for some time and replaced my original with the extended warranty I purchased. Now I have since learned that you can adjust for stick drift in settings, Xbox, or Steam. Hope that helps if you are one of the multitude that run into that and think it’s a faulty controller.

    Amazing remote. Only use one paddle so far for cod and it’s fantastic. Battery life is longer than I expected. 4-5 days until the remote light turns amber.
