    Xbox Elite 2 controller

    The controller is great. It’s heavier compared to most other controllers, which is something I like. The trigger stops are nice for most games I play. Along with the four buttons on the back you can use to map buttons to.

    This controller is totally worth it. The build quality is amazing and has the perfect weight and feel. It comes with a bunch of accessories and you can easily modify this controller to your liking.

    Controller was in excellent cosmetic condition, but unfortunately the Y and B face buttons were sticky and required firmer pushing to activate.

    Overall I like the controller. It has a heftiness to it that I find comforting, and the textured rubber grips are nice. My only issue is that it has slots to put paddles on the back for more controls/buttons on the controller but it doesn’t come with the paddles like the original elite controller did.

    What an upgrade from an xbox one controller. A nice premium feel and easy to pair. Also huge bonus that you can adjust the analog sticks in case you have stick drift

    I was worried about stick drift when I first got this controller and returned it originally before deciding I would buy it again, but it's yet to happen to me and I really enjoy this controller. Ironically, Xbox has perfected and redone the design over the past couple years instead of releasing an Elite Series 3. Additionally, they purposefully made the Xbox Series X controllers small, and I think it was so people would buy the bigger Elite Series 2 controller. Because that's why I bought it, the regular Xbox Controllers and smaller and awful compared to this.

    The elite series 2 controller is an excellent upgrade from the standard Xbox controller. The addition of the paddles on the back help to make FPS games like Call of Duty flow easier when you do not have to move your thumb off the analog sticks to reload. The variety of accessories that can be bought for this Core edition makes it an easy buy.

    Great replacement for the Elite Series II. With the known wear out of the Elite Series parts, this is a great option to replace just the controller. If you’re a first time buyer, highly recommend finding replacement accessories off Amazon. Allows ESII users to replace their controller for more affordable price.

    Fantastic controller, kind of annoying how you can’t lock the magnetic joysticks or d-pad in place. Sometimes you can easily flick them off, specifically the joysticks.

    I bought this controller wanting to use the paddles in the back, but the controller offers way more. The durability of this controller compared to the regular ones is a good enough reason to buy this! It feels sturdy and nice while playing and you also have the ability to alter your button mapping. This can also be used with other systems, not just the Xbox.

    I love this controller. I’ve owned the previous generation elite controller and this is a great upgrade. The paddles are smaller which helps me from accidentally pressing them all the time. The controller feels better overall.
