    I have been using the Elite series of controllers since gen 1, it is nice to finally have a cheaper purchasing option than the $180 original gen 2 with the case and charging base.

    Best Xbox Controller

    My overall favorite controller. The weight, the paddles and feel of the grips make this, for me, the overall best console controller to use.

    Its such a nice high quality controller. The only thing I dont like is the Dpad. Not ideal at all for fighting games. But very customizable and great for casual games otherwise.

    Normal xbox controllers just didn't cut it for me anymore. I had the series 1 elite controller and loved it to death. Now with the series 2 out I had to have it as I gave away my series 1. This controller takes it to the next level with adjustable thumb sticks, over the series 1. Along with the dock charger which is such a great idea. I use it for my pc and it works flawlessly for steam and windows 10 games.

    Was skeptical at first as a PlayStation fan but using this for my PC has changed gaming for me for sure. Takes a bit to get used to but much better than the old Xbox controllers and I feel maybe better than the ps4 layout. Paddles come in handy quite often. Joysticks are interchangeable so less hassle. Normally on sale too and Best Buy will price match (:(:

    After using the Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller I can confidently say I will not be going back to stock controllers anytime soon. Another great investment for someone looking to upgrade their setup! I got mine on clearance because it was returned too. LOOK FOR THE DEALS!

    I used the Series 1 for many hours and loved it. This Series 2 is improved in every area. The grip feels slightly off at first, but after some use, it feels great and grippy. The rechargeable battery is great and it’s awesome that you can put the controller in its case to charge. The thumb stick options are better this time around as well as the paddles. Love that you can adjust tension of thumbsticks this time around.

    What's better than an Xbox one elite controller? An Xbox one elite series 2 controller. More options, more programs, they fixed the issue with the paddles getting in the way of your fingers wrapped around the bottom of the controller. 3 programmable settings for 3 different games instead of 2 with the previous controller. Price us crazy high tho, add in the extended warranty and that's alot of costco pizza i could buy

    I absolutely LOVE this controller. There are negative reviews for it though with buttons sticking and bumpers breaking but tbh I just think some people don't treat their belongings very well. Ive had no issues and love how easy it is to use. The back paddles do take some getting use to but once you do its very hard to go back to anything else. The battery is rechargeable through USB c and its good for about 40 hours.

    I bought this controller to play on my pc because I’m no use to play on keyboard. I would say this controller is a much better than the Scuf controller on quality. I have been using this controller and both thumbs switch hasn’t tear like the scuff. One cons is that price/value have to be lower down a little. After all I’m amazed playing on pc with this controller.

    I was slightly reluctant to buy this controller because of the price. I am glad I decided to get this for my son after all. It is incredibly well built with a lot of toggle options. The piece that really impressed me was the charging system and magnetic holder built into the protective carrying case. Definitely worth the purchase if you have a serious gamer.

    High Quality Controller For XBox Fans!

    I had purchased the XBox Elite 2 Controller because I've always wanted to try one and see what all the hype was about. First thing I noticed when purchasing this was how heavy the box was. Second, the build quality is just amazing. Third, the controls make a difference. Fourth, it was on sale as part of Best Buy's 15 days of gaming sales event leading up to Christmas.

    Great controller, lots of customization available for mapping and trigger sensitivity. Has a built in rechargeable battery that seems to last forever. I can start gaming in the morning and 12 hours later it still says it’s at full. I also like that you can charge it in the case with either the usbc cable or the magnetic dock. Only time will tell how long the battery will last as it ages but so far it’s the best controller I have ever owned.

    2 months in and I'm happy with the series 2! The smaller paddles make a big difference when your using the 4 paddles. The big seller on this model is the full grip and does it help when your playing a hot session on a FPS. So far not button or paddle problems and everything charges according. Charges last about 2x long that the previous controllers. Overall a better buy. My only grind is the previous elite controller felt heavier but that's a personal grind.

    I didn’t think the controller was worth it. I decided to buy it with a coupon I found. After using it for a few hours and getting use to the extra controls I am not able to go back to a standard controller. This controller has helped me tremendously. I recommend this to anyone trying to get a slight advantage in game. Also no more batterys!!!
