This controller works as it should. Stays charged for hours of continuous play!

Purchased to use with my pc for cod and other games. For me it was nice but a rough adjustment from ps5 controller. If you’re used to Xbox or never used controller then I’d think it’d be fine but after being away from Xbox for so many years and having adjusted to ps5 then coming back to Xbox it was a bit much. I love how light it is compared to the ps5 version of pro controller.

This is the best controller for gaming. I use this primarily on PC, not on the Xbox. Sony's cheap uncomfortable design is just lackluster for gaming for extended hours and causes your hand to cramp up, which can be painful. The regular Xbox Controller is ok and comfortable, But this Elite Series 2 is amazing as its even more comfortable and just feels amazing in every aspect. From the smooth upgraded joysticks, to the rubberized grip on the handles. Most of the parts can be swapped out as well which is a huge plus if you are as aggressive a gamer as I am. I'd recommend this over any controller on the market. Definitely worth the extra cost.

The controller fits well and is ready to be either plug and play or wired with an included cable which is USB to USB-C, the cable has plenty of reach being about 6 feet long, and the controller itself is easy to program and use. My only gripe is that I didn't pay enough attention in the beginning and see that the paddles you can put on the controller were separate.

I love this controller. It’s great if you already own the elite 2 and have all the extra pieces. It’s easy to map buttons (on PC, I don’t use this with the Xbox) and love all the customization options on it. I’ve had decently good luck with the build quality although I’ve heard the bumpers break often. I would suggest getting a protection plan if you’re using it often, it’s worth it.

If you are looking for a more streamlined and comfortable controller this is it. I have used it for 2.5 years and it is still working well. I play a lot of fast paced games that push the controller pretty hard, so very slight stick drift has started at the 2.5 year mark. The battery last for multi day gaming. Usually i am charging it once every 2 weeks with 20+ hour weeks.

Huge upgrade from a regular controller. The weight is heavier but that makes it so much better. The grip pads are an excellent touch. Love the different map settings and light customization. And getting paddles is a must

The Microsoft Xbox Series Elite Controller feels premium and customizable, with swappable parts and extra features that make gaming smoother. It’s definitely pricier than a regular controller, but the build quality and performance make it worth it for serious gamers.”

The weight of the controller is perfect, and the black textured grips are a nice aspect of the controller. They charge fairly quickly as well, and the braided extra-long charging cables are of good quality. Overall, these are the best Xbox controllers I have ever experienced in all my years playing since the original rollout of the OG Xbox console back in 2001. Originally, I was a bit iffy about the price as I was purchasing two in total, but honestly it is proving to be a worthy investment overall. Very pleased with my purchase.

My last controller had stick drift so I went to the store to buy a new one and just as I was about to get the basic standard controller I saw this one and thought “eh screw it it’s only $20-$30 more” best decision ever because feel great and love the customization

This is my second elite controller I’ve bought. My first one I purchased a long time ago and it finally gave out. Instead of trying something else I bought another one because in my opinion there is no better controller. You won’t regret this purchase.

Amazing Controller – Great Feel and Performance! The Elite Series 2 Core (White) is absolutely worth it! The build quality feels premium, the buttons and thumbsticks are super responsive, and the adjustable tension is a game-changer for shooters and racing games. The wireless connection is solid, battery life is strong, and the clean white design looks fantastic. If you're looking to upgrade your Xbox or PC gaming experience, I highly recommend this controller!

I’ve already gone through three of these. The way they feel and function are great and I prefer them over the SCUF controllers and they’re of course way better than the standard Xbox controllers. Hence why I still keep getting them despite their build quality issues. The bumpers go out within a year each time and the sticks get stick drift pretty quick. For example- I’m a moderate gamer, I work two jobs so I only play an hour or two a night- if that- and within 8 months a brand new Elite I bought had already gotten stick drift in both sticks bad. You get a one-year manufacturer warranty but you have to send the controller in and wait weeks for them to send it back. I made that mistake on the first controller I bought. It had broken bumpers on both sides- and they ended up sending me back a controller with fixed bumpers but with loose plastic rattling around inside (Microsoft/Xbox not Best Buy’s fault). So I decided to get the two year geek squad warranty after that on the next one I bought. Returned my most recent one after getting that stick drift within 10 months and immediately got my new controller from them, no sending back to Xbox, just had to pay for another two year warranty. I’ll likely have to get another one within a year or two. If Microsoft/Xbox could just beef up the quality on their bumpers and fix the dang stick drift it’d be a 5-star controller for sure.

Very good controller, this is my second one because I spilled a drink on my last one but it lasted 2 years. Love the 4 paddles on the back and how everything is interchangeable on the controller.

Good value for solid controller. Used paddles and sticks from older version. Parts are compatible. Nice solid weight and craftsmanship

Super solid build quality. Love the grippy texture on the handles. Like the ability to add paddles underneath at some point. Also like that you can swap out the magnetic D-Pad and joysticks for different ones. The instant record feature in the middle is great too. This controller was very expensive but worth every penny!

I love this controller! It’s heavier than a normal Xbox controller, which is nice. The rubberized grips are great for extended gameplay. It also has a great battery life so far. Overall, great controller. I would definitely recommend this to others.

Have a black series 2 controller and the core and the back pedals are helpful. The stop triggers are a nice feature and the battery life lasts days on a single charge. These controllers are comfortable. The only thing about my black one is I had it for two months and it already has a slight stick drift with the right stick.

This controller looks similar to the original but its nothing near it. You can feel the quality once its held in your hands. The rubber on the left and right stick have some grip which make all the difference and it also has adjustable trigger depth to help make it more sensitive. The home button also changes colors which is awesome if your looking for that custom look.

One of the Best controllers on the market! My only gripes is that the bumpers seem to go bad after about 3 months of use, and the sticks begin to drift after about a week or so. But besides that, it's the perfect controller! (Mainly get this if you've already got the Series 2 kit with added paddles and everything already.)
