    In my years of gaming, I've tried numerous controllers, but the Elite controller stands head and shoulders above the rest. Its exceptional design, build quality, customization options, wireless connectivity, and impressive battery life make it the ultimate gaming companion. Whether you're a casual gamer or a competitive enthusiast, this controller will undoubtedly enhance your gaming experience and take your skills to the next level. Trust me, you won't be disappointed with the Elite controller. It's a true game changer

    Great concept, marred by QC issues

    The 1st elite controller was 1 that I absolutely adored. Until about 6 months of ownership and the right stick started to drift to the point of un-playable. When the new 1 was announced, I thought I would give it a shot. It arrived on release day and worked great for the 1st couple of hours. Then I noticed that the A started to stick or just not register. This is apparently a known issue and MS support is supposed to take care of it. Time will tell... Aside from this, if you were a fan of the 1st, this should be an upgrade. The rubber grip fully wraps and is something really special. The 3rd trigger adjustment is actually really cool for fine tuning. For example, on the left trigger I have it 1 click for a slightly shorter stop. On the right, I have it maxed out for the shortest possible pull. On call of duty, I am able to fire a pistol or marksman rifle faster as the trigger resets faster. The sticks are still a highlight with adjustable tension, and different sticks let you adjust the length for speed or accuracy. The D-pad is still probably the best on any controller. It's accurate and can be swapped from the disk to a traditional 4 way in a matter of seconds. Lastly, the charging. USB C is the way of the future and its in there. The carrying case also allows for charging. Great controller, but the QC issues really bring it down.

    Purchased for our Grandson for Christmas (Seemed to be in short supply at other stores). He really loves this controller because it has features that other did not. (Buttons, charging pack option, etc.). Hey, He's happy so we are happy.

    Elite Until Broken

    The Xbox Elite Series 2 controller feels like quality the first time you hold the controller. The grips are comfortable, the interchangeable sticks and D-Pad make you feel that the controller is designed for anyone. The paddles add even more customization than the average gamer knew they needed. With features like this how could this controller be rated any less than a 5 you may wonder. Well lets just say that the experience is "Elite" until the controller falls apart, literally. The Series 2 was my second go at the Elite controllers from Microsoft and at first I fell in love again and forgot how my original elite controller broke. However after nearly a year of using the controller my left stick's button (LS) was no longer operational. I made due by making my paddles the LS and RS buttons and have grown accustom to utilizing those. Then the second fault occurred, my left bumper no longer registered. Now I could've just thrown in another set of paddles to get me by, but the paddles aren't meant to replace broken components. So at the end of the day, the controller truly is a fantastic experience and changes the way I viewed controllers. However I am 0/2 with working Elite controllers, I had insurance on the controller via GeekSquad so I did swap it out for a new one. Just buyer beware on the fragile nature of the controller. Highly Recommend Geek Squad insurance.

    Love these controllers, I have 4 of them because I like the weight and feel; use one each for ROG Ally X, Gaming PC and XBox Series X with a spare in case one dies and I don’t want to game tethered or wait for recharge.

    The best controller out there for X Box Series X & S consoles! Tons of customization for the controller. The added details and buttons make it comfortable for hours of gaming. The grip is superb, the interchangeable buttons are amazing. Never going back to the controllers that come with the console. Liked it so much I bought 2 for my setup (bedroom & living room Series X consoles). Also, I like the case and charging station that the Elite has, the ‘Core’ model doesn’t come with it.

    Definitely a fantastic controller whether you’re using it for your Xbox or Pc. Grips are great, its a good feel. Like that it you can adjust how firm the joysticks can be. Adjustable triggers as well obviously. Only negative is that maybe size of my hands but I accidentally hit the trigger switches that control how far it travels by accident sometimes. And the fact it doesn’t come with the case and extra accessories is unfortunate

    Improved on Series 1 in Every Way

    If you've used the Series 1 Elite Controller, you know all the benefits it has over the standard Xbox One controllers. The paddles will change the way you play shooters if you just take the little bit of time to get used to them. The Series 2 controller makes the paddles a bit more tactile and they have more of a click to them. The thumbsticks have 3 levels of tension adjustment to make them feel like a default Xbox One controller, an Xbox 360 controller, or something in between. The bumpers have been improved, and the new grips are built in a way to where they won't expand and fall off like the old version did. The Elite Series 1 controller was the best controller I ever used and my favorite to play with, but this controller has replaced the old version. I would definitely recommend this controller to anyone who enjoys playing competitive shooters and wants to take their game to the next level.
