    For the most part, feels like a normal controller. It would be nice if the cradle in the case could hold a charge to charge it on the go.

    When you pick up this controller quality is the first thing you feel. You know this is what you paid for. The heaviness, the quality, the perfect textured grip shows the Xbox took this controller to the next level. Even better than the first generation of this controller. Then to top it off, you can add custom button mapping to Each button even change the color of the Xbox logo. Everything from customization to mapping is just a nice touch.

    Xbox Elite 2 with the Xbox Series X honest review

    This controller offers everything you need for the Xbox Series X. This is an official Microsoft controller so you don't have to worry about it getting blocked from the console. I have purchased other Xbox Series X controllers and the build quality is quite different. You can feel the weight of this controller and tell it is not a 3rd party plastic knockoff. I highly recommend this controller.

    Definitely a great controller. Nice weight and the buttons feels more premium than the non elites. Only downside is the price. This is worth the investment if you game a lot on pc or Xbox. The buttons on the back are programmable but only with the inputs that are already on the controller. I could not find a way to map it with a macro or a specific key.

    Best upgrade from the original Elite

    Compared to the original Elite controller this one is by far an amazing upgrade. Having the ability to adjust the tension on the thumbsticks is great for dialing in the accuracy for FPS games, the extra middle trigger stop is awesome if you're not wanting to go all the way to the short stop for other games as well, and the adjusted paddles on the back are much better without having to worry about accidentally hitting them while playing. The built in rechargeable battery is a step above the play and charge kit battery. I have definitely noticed a significant increase in play time before needing to charge it. If you're on the fence whether to keep your original Elite over this one then you're missing out. The Elite 2 is definitely worth the money for the upgrade.

    This is my second Elite S2 the first lasted about a year and the left stick was broken all the way up couldn't bring it back down. The A button would get stuck down and the LB RB would stick. Keep in mind im retired and I game constantly, well over 90hrs a week, so I'm pretty abusive to my controllers. I would guess about 2-3 years for a normal usage gamer. I love the controller and im going to keep buying them as they break until they have a new model. Its conformable customizable and lasts way longer than your standard edition. Sure its expensive but I think the price is worth it. (Get the warranty)

    Best controller released by Microsoft

    This controller is just amazing. I was skeptical to order based on cost but I would recommend it with ease after using it. The controller just feels much more premium and solid compared to the Original Elite. The customzations are better, the grips are better, the triggers are a pleasure. Even the Xbox Home button has been upgraded and is sturdy and not "Squishy". Within a few minutes of customizing I noticed an immediate different in my MW abilities. I didnt expect to notice any real difference, but it was there!!! The charging base is also a huge blessing. I was excited to see it was USB-C as it was the biggest thing I hated about the xbox controllers of past (micro USB is terrible), however the dock has made that moot anyway!! Also unlike the cable, putting it on the dock charges it without turning the xbox back on

    I was hesitant to buy this again. The first one I got for Christmas from my wife. Brand new right out of the box it was defective and had stick drift and I was pretty disappointed.. was impossible to play first person shooters like call of duty. So We returned and if getting it from Walmart was the reason I don’t know..Then bought it from bestbuy and wow!! I’m really impressed and enjoy using this for Warzone.. grippy and a little heavier but has a nice feel with a lot of settings.. good thing I took a chance on it again.. worth the buy!

    This controller was an open box/returned item and my expectations were not high. I used my rewards which cover$55. Si, bascially i paid $40 for a decent controller. All the buttons function and it is far better than using any third party controllers.

    Always Good, Not Quite Great

    Love these controllers but despise the fact that the common issues have still not been addressed. Left bumper has failed me on 4 of these controllers. Battery life is excellent, weight is great, paddles and customizability is fantastic. Just the freaking bumpers that always seem to crap out. Oh and stick drift has always been a problem. Given the price and the fact that pretty much everything else about it is solid, I would expect the bumpers to hold up better.

    it's a good controller used it for years now but every few months I need it replaced due to stick drift or the bumper isnt working. it feels great, good grip love the adjustable triggers and joysticks but paying over 100 for this isn't worth it unless you get a warranty because most likely you're gonna need it later on

    By far the best xbox controller you can get, easy to use and customize to your liking. The stiffness of the triggers is a game changer in any games, makes you ads and shot so much faster. Once u buy this controller you’ll never buy a regular controller again. Ive bought 4 so far and will continue too.

    Got an open box - I had to return it via the Microsoft warranty 3 months later but for the price (120$) it was worth it since they sent me a brand new one right after.

    Feels good in my hand when playing video games. I like the extra functionality that the paddles add. It feels a little heavy, but not enough to bother long play sessions.

    Best Wireless controller

    Hands down the best controller to use for PC gaming or on a Xbox console. 40 hours of battery life on a single charge, plus seamless integration with windows computers makes it very simple to set up and start using. The controller buttons/layout are always recognized without needing 3rd party software and the ability to purchase a small USB wireless adapter makes it all the more seamless. It does everything all the fancy 3rd party controllers does, at a better price.
