    Would be great if it came with a tall rounded or non grippy stick. Its very heavy, which some ppl find as a positive but the thing is a brick imo. Bumper switches feel way worse than the oem and the paddles are cool and will definitely improve response times in gaming but the integrated ones on the scuff or turlte beach are way more comfortable for everyday gaming.

    I had the series 1 and i thought it will be the best controller for a very long time, but this controller is so much better. The things I like is the solid feeling it has, the full grip in the handles, buttons are more responsive, the sticks pressure can be changed, it is Bluetooth compatible, has a rechargeable battery and a charging stand, and much more customizations and joysticks compared to the first version. You have to get the Series 2.

    amazing device. sticks are much tighter and more precise, adjustable resistance on triggers is very useful. i love the swappable sticks too. the long stick is great for precision aiming in fps games. the backpaddles are the best part. being able to do things like revive other players, reload, jump without having to sacrifice any measure of movement or control through moving a thumb off of a stick is huge

    Great controller, but bumpers break easily

    The controller worked great, and the paddles on the back were able to work with rebinding native keys, but with the default configuration I was also able to use Steam controller configuration to rebind keyboard and mouse keys to the controller. It had everything I wanted, and it handles very well. But, after about 6 months of use, the right bumper broke, and because I didn't purchase a protection plan I now have to repair it on my own, or just deal with a broken button. I read reviews online about "just rebind the RB to one of the paddles," but come on, no one wants a broken button, and it shouldn't have broken this soon in the first place. I read online that this was a problem with the series one controller, and apparently it hasn't been fixed in the series two. If you buy this, make sure to get the protection plan, because chances are your bumpers are going to break. Other than the bumpers, I've had no problems with the controller.

    I love the feel of this controller, but unfortunately the A button sticks pretty bad. I looked up to see if this was a common issue and it seems to be that way. If they could fix this issue, it woukd he the best controller on tbe market.

    I feel like these should be cheaper, but straight up - once you've played with an Elite controller, you can't go back to a regular one. Fair warning - I'm on my 3rd one, you get right about 2 years out of it with moderate use.

    Amazing Controller -- Be sure to get insurance

    I had the prior Elite Controller and loved it. The Series 2 is a noticeable step up. Performs amazingly in every aspect you would expect. I also own a Razer Wolverine Ultimate and the Elite out performs it in comfort, design, and precision. Unfortunately with such high precision there is a down side. - Down side, mico stick drift did start within 3 months of use but again if you have Best buy insurance just exchange it if it ever gets noticeable. - Friends have had bumpers go out but at 6 months of use I have had no major issues.

    I had a scuff prestige that gave me issues 2 months into ownership and within a year the controller wouldn’t even hold a charge when plugged in while playing. I had enough of scuff then found this on sale for like $40 off and it’s more comfortable and reliable than scuff. Love the easily removable triggers on the back and the metal d pad. Even the carrying case it comes in is so smooth. This is the controller for console not scuff trust me

    After about 2 years of use the RB and LB buttons would not work consistently and the rubber grip started to pull away. After some light research, this is a common issue with these controllers. I do love the weight and how much I can customize the controller. If you want to spend the extra money to get this over the standard controller, get the coverage.

    So when I finally got my hands on the series x I bought a second controller so my son and I could play. The x box controllers are great! This controller is a total game changer. If you play FPS games having those paddles on the back will automatically up your game. This thing feels rock solid! I love that you can set the trigger distance, that was a big plus! Bottom line I would have went straight to this controller! It rocks!

    This controller is dope. Easy to customize and can get same tuning than scuff controllers. Its great for PC and first person shooters with the back paddles. Really easy to remap and customize as desired. Long battery life and grip feels nice. Comfortable to use for long periods of gaming sessions. No need for Kontrol Freak thumsticks.

    Xbox Elite Controller Series 2 is like, legit amazing. It's got these cool adjustable thumbstick things, a grip that feels awesome, and you can totally set up your own gaming profiles. Plus, you can switch it up with different thumbsticks and stuff to match how you game.

    I had the elite series one and that was great until I started getting ghost movements in the left joystick. The series 2 Elite feels a bit better with the added grips and I LOVE the recharging feature. Been playing 7 days straight still haven’t needed to recharge the remote. And this is 5-7 hours a day playing. I love that I can map the triggers in the back for games like APEX and Smite. Very customizable. It is expensive, but you “feel” the difference. I think a little cheaper and it’s 100% hands down the best controller ever.

    I bought this skeptically at first but have since loved using it. I love the extra weight, it makes the controller feel much more substantial in the hand. Following that, the customization with the extra buttons and joysticks unlock some cool stuff in games.

    Good buy, still an impulse buy.

    Sucks that Microsoft still makes you purchase battery paks for controllers. This is where they fall short in the console wars. However, this was an impulse buy, dang it microsoft. But it is a very good controller. It feels premium and it comes with a charge base. All controllers should be double a battery free at this point. But still, all in all, its worth it.

    It's a great quality remote for the price. I recommend getting one used if you need to save some $ and get a warranty on it. You could use it on both pc and Xbox both wirelessly or wired. The battery is also long lasting and it comes with a magnetic wireless charger.

    Keep it away from kids that don't know how to respect people's things. This is my 3rd Elite Controller. 1 first gen and 2 second gen. My daughters completely broke the first 2. This one goes under lock and key. I love the USB TYPE C for data and charging it cuts down on the amount of stuff I have on my desk. Virtually no input lag wireless. Works better in COD wired in my opinion. Great weight to it. It feels solid and premium. Just enough weight to make you feel engaged in the action but not too much to fatigue the forearms.
