    Pretty Good

    This controller functionally is great! However; this is my third iteration as the left and right bumpers wear out over time and even though they click, the input is not detected by the game. I primarily play Rocket League and use those bumpers frequently.

    I recently purchased the Microsoft - Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller and I’m really enjoying it. I wanted a controller that had more customizable features and this one has proved to be an excellent choice. The adjustable thumbsticks, directional pad, and multi-function buttons provide plenty of options for fine-tuning the controller for specific and personalized settings for gaming. It's also quite comfortable to hold and use with its rubberized grip. The wireless connection has been reliable and very responsive, providing lag-free performance. I would highly recommend this controller to anyone looking for a customizable, comfortable, and reliable gaming control.

    Good when brand new, stick drift happens on either left or right thumb stick after a few months of use. BestBuy makes it easy to exchange broken defective items with their pro plan without any hassle.

    Nice remote works well with no issues. I preferred the black edition, but settled for this one; I just didn't see the need for so much more money just to receive an all-black edition.

    One highly recommended controller is the Xbox Elite Series 2. This controller offers a premium feel and build quality with customizable features that cater to both casual and competitive gamers. The Elite Series 2 has a sleek and ergonomic design, with a textured grip that ensures a comfortable and secure hold during long gaming sessions. The buttons and triggers are highly responsive and provide a satisfying tactile feedback. One of the standout features of the Elite Series 2 is the customizable options it offers. It comes with interchangeable thumbsticks and paddles, allowing users to find the perfect fit and control setup for their preferences. The paddles can be mapped to any button, giving gamers quick and easy access to additional inputs without having to take their fingers off the thumbsticks. The controller also features adjustable tension on the thumbsticks, allowing users to fine-tune the stick resistance for more precise movements. This feature is particularly useful for competitive gamers who require precise aiming in games like first-person shooters. Another great aspect of the Elite Series 2 is its extensive battery life. It can last up to 40 hours on a single charge, and the controller comes with a charging dock that makes recharging hassle-free. Additionally, the Elite Series 2 is compatible with both Xbox consoles and Windows PCs, making it a versatile controller for gamers who play on multiple platforms. Overall, the Xbox Elite Series 2 controller offers a premium gaming experience with its customizable features, comfortable design, and long-lasting battery life. While it is on the pricier side, the build quality and advanced features make it worth the investment for serious gamers.

    I got this controller for my PC at the same time I got a Playstation Edge controller for my PS5. This controller is so much better. Everything feels so much more responsive, from the sticks to the triggers. It sits better in my hands and just feels better overall. Even if the Edge controller had four back triggers like this one instead of two, I’d still rate this one better. I’ve been a Playstation over Xbox fan my whole life, and it makes me sad to rate something Xbox better than PS. But truth is truth. I wish I could use one of these on my PS5.

    The Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller for Xbox is easily one of the best controllers you can buy if you’re serious about gaming. It feels substantially more premium than a standard Xbox controller, with a comfortable, thoughtful design that’s built to last and enhance your play.

    Replaced an Elite Series 1 - like this one MORE

    Purchased this to go along with a new Xbox Series S that I purchased at the same time. This replaced an older Elite (series 1). NOTE THAT THIS ONE DOES NOT COME WITH THE PADDLES OR EXTRA THUMB STICKS. If you want those, be sure to get the model WITH those items included. Microsoft sells the paddles & thumb sticks as a separate package if you get this model and change your mind later and want to add them. This controller works great. Lots of adjustments in the Xbox Accessories app on your Xbox. I use all four paddles and you can program each paddle for a different function. You can easily switch between three pre-set configurations with the button on the controller. You can also set the color of the Xbox light per configuration so it’s easy to tell which config you’re on.

    The best Xbox controller! It is hard for me to imagine going back to the standard controller. The weight and hold of the controller and the exclusion of the extras make this controller a bargain.

    Use this as my secondary Series X controller. It doesn’t come with all the additional accessories and attachments but its all at a good price especially if you already have a primary Elite controller
