    While every controller eventually wears out the thumbsticks, this is by far the best controller ive ever used considering ive been playing on xbox since 2001 and ive even competed before where i would wear out thumbsticks every 3 months. This controller is for sure the best feeling controller and the thumbsticks lasted over a year on the first one i had. Not to mention all the features of thumbstick tension control, button customization, and trigger travel. I cant say enough good things about this controller. I only hope they continue to improve the durability of the thumbsticks even further.

    If you want a better controller than the already good Xbox controller, this is it. Any tech site you search will say the same thing. The biggest pros are 1. Thumbstick and paddles customization 2. Battery back up 3. Wireless charging 4. In built battery 5. Save 3 profiles The cons are 1. The price. This is too overpriced. Like, too much. I bought this in sale and still think it's pricey. Sucks. I don't have bottomless wallets. Maybe I am just whining. 2. Despite having apparently excellent build quality, durability still seems to be an issue as reported by various outlets. Please don't take my word for it. Do your research. 3. Wireless connection stutters when battery drops below 30%. This is jarring and makes me switch controllers while I charge this.

    Best Controller Period

    This is hands down the best controller ive ever held/used. It beats out anything playstation, nintnedo, even third parties have to offer. Rubberized grip around the fronts and back so your hands will never slip, customizable back paddles for FPS/Racing games is a must, three different profiles that can be saved for stick sensitivity and more. Also really bice that it comes with an extremely durable case that has a hard shell on the outside with a magnetic charging stand and awappable sticks on the inside. I also bought the warranty just in case but i take care of my stuff so we’ll see if i end up needing to replace them. So far so good.

    This is is my 2nd elite purchase. As with all controllers there will be wear and stick drift, but I can’t think about playing with something other than an elite.

    The controller feels really good and the chnageable stick are very nice but the controller like any other is susceptible to drift after a while and you would think with how much it costs it would last longer than a normal controller.

    Game-Changer Controller for Apex Legends!

    Just grabbed the Microsoft Elite Series 2 controller and it’s been amazing for my Apex Legends sessions! The build is super solid, and it feels premium in my hands. What really stands out are the paddles at the back. They make a huge difference in fast-paced games like Apex. I can jump, reload, and do all sorts of moves without taking my thumbs off the sticks. It’s been a game-changer for sure, making everything more responsive and upping my game. The battery life is great too, lasting through even the longest gaming marathons. If you’re big into games like Apex, this controller is a must-have!

    If you are a serious gamer than this is the Xbox controller for you! It is made with excellent quality! You can create game profiles that will allow you to move the buttons and actions when the game itself won't let you set your controls as you want them! And best of all it holds a charge for a very long time! I play for 4-6 hours and not a problem. Might use half of the battery!

    All the sticks and paddles come with this controller. It feels great in your hand.. until you start sweating then the rubber will slip a bit, obviously. Still a great controller. Definitely not worth 200, but its nice.

    The swappable thumbsticks, D-pad, and paddles allow for a highly customizable experience, catering to different play styles which was the main reason I made this purchase. I truly enjoy using this controller and I can’t wait to see what Microsoft does to the next generation of it.

    This is a great controller. Customizable in many ways, with my fav being the ability to make the triggers into hair triggers with a simple switch on the bottom of the controller. I love that it's rechargeable and contains the built-in charger in the carrying case.

    Possibly best controller ever

    I going to go ahead & give this item a good review, this is my second one. First one was great & then out of no where the right bumper started double clicking, I dealt with it for a little, however at $180 for a controller, it better be flawless & I didn’t have it but for like 2 weeks & it’s malfunctioning. I looked up online & that’s where I found my issue & others. I returned it to Best Buy & as normal they exchanged it for me with no fuss. So far the new one is working correctly, seems the face buttons need to be pressed with conviction, however the entire controller works, the craftsmanship & functionality is great & this could be the greatest product ever, if Microsoft can just fix the software & hardware issues. It’s crazy how all over the place the quality control is. If this controller goes south, I will be looking to get a refund & just buy a good battery charger & battery setup for my plain jane Xbox controller & call it a day, that controller still works great

    I had two original Elite Controllers. I enjoyed the feel and the features but had quite a few issues with the bumpers on my first one and the second one I had started having issues with the left stick drifting a lot. Since I had the warranty plan I brought it back and upgraded to the Series 2, It feels like they upgraded the shape and it feels better than the one. The grips also feel better and seem like they have less chance of peeling off as it did with my first Elite. The shape and placement of the top paddles feel better. My favorite new feature is the extra setting on the triggers. Great for FPS and other games where it's nice to just have a quick click rather than a long pull. I also recommend the Best Buy warranty with a controller this expensive. Sure it's more expensive on an already expensive controller but paying the extra money now is worth it to be able to upgrade to a new controller down the road if needed.

    There’s so much accessibility and customization within this controller works well with PC. You can even set. Key binds for keyboard bind help win games don’t have controller accessibility
