    Good Pro controller. Feels nice and well made, feels premium. Has a good weight to it and I love the swappable stick selection, and absolutely love the four back paddles that can be easily removed, and the triggers have stops to change the length of travel. The best part is the companion app where you can adjust the settings of the input curves and button mapping layout how you like for each individual game. You can save up to 250 individual controller profiles and have three ready to load at the press of the center button. Really nice with the weighted battery charger and case. Very premium and well made. Wish the next version would have Hall effect joysticks. But I have experienced zero stick drift and have used this controller for 7 months daily and heavily.

    This controller improves upon everything I love about the normal Xbox controllers. The tactile feel of the grips is great, the dpad circle works surprisingly well, and I love the trigger adjustment. I can keep them wide open for throttle modulating in racing games or turn it into a hair trigger for fps. I don’t really use the paddles on the back (which don’t come with this version), so no loss at all for me. The elimination of all the extras (case, different thumbbsticks, etc) brings the price point down into a a more reasonable range. I found some aftermarket paddles and while I don’t use them much they feel nice and we’re at cheaper. I’ve only been using for a little over a month or so, but probably used for 60ish hours. No problems with drift or build quality.

    I have purchased a Xbox elite controller months ago, and I love the customization that I can do to have the best experience with games! Games like the finals, helldivers and Star Wars battle front 2.

    a year and a half after buying I went to a friend's house and held his controller... literally unplayable after getting used to something like this. wish I could change skins on it easily, or that it had RGB, but that's just me

    So my original series X controller took a dump, I was going to replace it with the same but decided to go with this instead. The controller feels good in the hands, the battery lasts a good long while, and the extra paddles and features are a plus. It is a little on the expensive side but if you have the cash to burn it is worth it.

    I’ve had this controller for a little over a year now and it is the best I’ve owned. Most controllers overtime will develop stick drift, this one has lasted and has a nice feel and function.

    First and foremost, let's talk about the design. Microsoft has really outdone themselves with the Elite Series 2. The controller feels premium in hand, with a sturdy construction that exudes durability. The textured grips not only provide a comfortable feel during extended gaming sessions but also ensure a secure grip, even during intense gameplay. As an avid gamer, I'm always on the lookout for tools that can take my gaming experience to the next level. The Microsoft Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller is one such device that has truly impressed me. From its sleek design to its customizable features, this controller is a game-changer in every sense.

    If you buy this make sure you get the warranty for it. At best it’ll last you a year . I never dropped it or banged it and they all eventually break but it is the best controller when its working. What ever model you get they’re all the same but the white one is the cheapest and the warranty for some reson is almost half as the elite or color choices . Best way to buy is get the white one with accessories from scuff with the warranty.

    It’s a pretty hefty price for a controller but it’s so worth every penny my gaming has stepped up in rocket league halo and Cod with all the customizations I can’t even look at anything less then an elite controller. Save up Trade in or use a buy now pay later feature and Pick This Up ASAP

    Best controller I’ve had so far. I had tried it once while playing with another cousin of mine and had a great impression. So I just had to have it. It’s certainly pricey but worth the purchase.

    This controller is what I've been wanting for the longest time as it offers wireless charging and not needing a battery back. It is easy to customize the controls, triggers, and paddles. It is also nice to have 3 different profiles, if you want to use it as a normal controller you just make sure the profile icon is off. When the profile is off that's the only normal way to take screenshots, so seeing a designated button would be much better.

    I like how customizable this controller is. All though it’s a lot cheaper than the regular elite controller and doesn’t come with paddles you can buy a set and still spend less money than buying the elite. Amazing controller I am not disappointed.
