    It is a very good controller I do like it the build quality is there the price is a little steep in my opinion when you compare it to something like the G7 game sir only because the software does not have as much customization as I would like truthfully but battery life lasts forever never have any problems with pairing it feels like a $200 controller but it's one of those where if this controller goes out I'll probably be buying a game sir

    I liked the elite 1, 2 and now I must say this is the best iteration yet. The differences from the 2 are very minuscule. You will have to buy the series two complete component pack if you don't already have the pieces you need from a previous elite controller otherwise your controller will be unplayable.

    Best Xbox controller that exists. Do not waste your money on standard controllers or knockoff brands. The elite two is of such superior quality that it would be blasphemy to use anything else. The controller is hefty in your hands. Nice weight and feels great. The paddles on the back have excellent customization. You can even alter the buttons on the front to be whatever you want. Fully customizable. You can have infinite presents from what I saw, and you can have 3 active presets and can switch to them at will by a press of a button on the controller. It has clear indicator lights that will tell you which one you have on. This headset also works perfectly with PC as well, if you have Bluetooth capeablities or plug it in. I also use it to connect to my phone. This controller is fantastic! Buy one and you won’t regret it!

    I had the black Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller for at least 3 years when the left bumper slowly stopped working. After researching online, there did not seem to be an easy fix. I loved the feel of the controller as well as how it handled and the myriad of fine tune adjustment sone can make compared to the regular wireless controller. I also loved how well it fit in my hands and comfortable it feel in addition to responsiveness. I kept an eye on a new controller with BB, as I am a BB Total member and I try to make any electronics purchase through BB for the added protection. I grabbed this controller at the incredible price of $109.99 new, and the avg. sale price was $124.99. I had $15 in certificates as well to use, so extra great deal. Ordered online and ready within an hour. Enjoying playing Xbox games again! I appreciate the deals with BB!

    good Xbox controller stands out for comfort, responsiveness, and durability. The official Xbox Wireless Controller is a favorite because it fits naturally in your hands, has textured grips for better control, and features precise thumbsticks and triggers that feel smooth during gameplay. The button layout is intuitive, making it easy to jump between games without adjusting. Its wireless connection is reliable, battery life is strong, and it works seamlessly with Xbox consoles and PCs. For players who want extra features, the Xbox Elite Series controller offers customizable buttons, adjustable triggers, and interchangeable thumbsticks — perfect for competitive gaming. A good Xbox controller ultimately makes gaming feel effortless, responsive, and more enjoyable.

    A very good controller. I've gotten mine a couple years ago when it first came out. I love the paddles on the back. The only thing that sucks is the accessories don't come with the controller so you have to buy the paddles separately. Recently though the controller has started to crack and rip places. I don't abuse it when I get mad at my games. It just starts disintegrating. Other than that lasts a while and no stick drift at all. Would recommend. Just in case I'd buy the protection plan with it.

    It's super comfortable to hold, with a great ergonomic design that allows for extended gaming sessions without any discomfort. The buttons are responsive and perfectly placed, providing precise control over your games. The thumbsticks give just the right amount of resistance, offering smooth and accurate movement. And let's not forget about the rumble feature that adds an extra layer of immersion to your gaming experience. Whether you're playing action-packed shooters or engaging in fast-paced sports games, the Xbox controller delivers unmatched performance. It's a must-have accessory for any serious gamer!

    I bought this controller to replace a PC controller that just didn't work for what I wanted. Xbox controller pairs very easily with windows through Bluetooth or through a wired connection. This controller comes with everything you need to customize how you want. The back paddles can sometimes get in the way but it's not a big deal. You can also remove them if you don't want them. The Xbox accessories app is very easy to install and program the buttons to do whatever you want. And it feels like a solid overall option if you need something to work seamlessly with Windows, Xbox, iPhone, android. I would definitely recommend this controller if you want more customization and options than a standard controller has. It is a little bit expensive but I would say it's worth it if you're a serious gamer

    Favorite among the “pro” controllers. Love the sturdy, heavy feel of the controller. Customization options are better then every other controller. Recommend it 100%

    Upon multiple attempts of buying/returning different controllers of all brands I finally broke down and bought an Elite. I’ve always thought about buying one but never brought myself to do so because of the price point. Honestly 1000 % worth it! Everything else I had either had some kind of issue a few weeks in or just didn’t feel right. The Elite controller definitely feels amazing especially with the rubberized grips, it doesn’t slide nor do I feel myself having to grip the controller any tighter than normal to keep it steady. The thumb sticks take a little getting used to as they’re a little heavier and have a different kind of bounce back (in a good way). It’s really not too heavy at all for a wireless controller and this is coming from an avid player who prefers wired! Happy Gaming!

    Elite series 2

    Elite 2 at it's finest no matter what. I know there other pro controllers out in the market and they offer similar or customization than the elite 2 but I always default to the elite 2 because it feels perfect to control in my hands. What I wanted from a standard Xbox series controller the elite 2 is the perfect and only upgrade I need. I do wish though Microsoft/Xbox would retool/ refine their product durability testing because even though I love my elite 2 I've gotten through 2 pairs already and both stopped working because of stick drift and the bumper pads began to suddenly peel off and that's coming from someone who doesn't sweat a lot when gaming. Hopefully elite series 3 will be third time's a charm ( for real)

    I love this controller. It is comfortable and ergonomic in hand, feels like it has a high build quality, looks nice and has nice customization. The paddles on the back really improved my FPS play. The battery life is also fantastic. However, the build quality, although feels great, is just not great. The buttons, specifically trigger and bumpers start to fail rather quickly and the stick drift right out of the box. If it were not for this, I would give this controller 5/5 stars. But because of this, I am purchased another controller and I am going to try that out and maybe jump ship. This controller introduced me to the world of back button paddles, so I am grateful for that, but in the end, I do not game enough for this controller to be failing me, so I am on to something else. If you are handy and own the proper tools, you can replace the switches for fairly cheap, which may make this controller more enticing at its price, but most people are not going to attempt that.

    Xbox Elite 2 controller is the best controller on the market. I've used them for years and they're well worth the price. If you're not a fan of using back paddles then the Elite Series 2 core is perfect for you. It took 1000s of hours for mine to develop any sort of stick drift, the average gamer will never encounter this problem, even then it was minimal. If you do use paddles, the placement of these is spectacular. They fall exactly where you lay your fingers naturally and are crisp with firm presses every time. The grip is nice and the design is great. 5/5. Perfection.

    I bought this controller through Best Buy after my previous one started to drift. Even with increasing the dead zone and doing all the updates it continues to drift. Looking online it looks like this is a very frequent issue. However, the one I bought has no issues thus far, and even if it does I have a warranty so I’m not too worried. Overall the one I have currently has had not issues and I enjoy the custom button mapping, hair triggers, and back paddles.
