    Once you purchase this amazing controller you will never be able to go back to standard. It feels incredible and having paddles is amazing for FPS games. The charge holds for what feels like days of non stop playing and do I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Yes it's expensive for a controller but if you are a serous gamer that plays daily this is a must buy!

    This is my very first controller. I can say nothing about other controllers. (Cuz I'm PC Gamer) But I'm really sure this Elite controller 2 feels so good in the hands and the battery life is Awesome. I played 8-13 hours every day for 4 days without charging. (for testing battery). I recommend Elite Controller Series 2 for PC (if you want more challenge) and of course for Xbox

    BUY THIS CONTROLLER IF YOU WANT MOUSE-BUTTON

    So far, the stick-drift hasn't killed the first one I've bought. The ability to configure and change the buttons to how you want is great. The mouse-button-click for the triggers are the best for me. And they are considerably cheaper than controllers with the same king of ideas/implementations. I do wish that Microsoft offered more colors than just 3, or the ability to change the faceplates to the color(s) that you'd want.

    The controller is a great addition for me due to the fact that I play a majority of first person shooter games ( mostly rainbow 6 siege ) and I am able to utilize multiple features that the controller offers including the trigger stops and paddles. Although the price is somewhat steep I would say that when they re stock that it is worth the purchase

    The ultimate upgrade for my Alienware R16 setup

    Best controller on the market, period. I use this for almost all my gaming on my Alienware R16 and the build quality is night and day compared to a standard controller. The adjustable-tension sticks and paddles make a huge difference in feel and precision. If you’re serious about gaming on a PC or console, it’s worth every penny.

    Bought this control so I can get the extra help in battles in warzone, specifically with the paddles ofcourse to help crouch and jump, it works amazing. Controller is solid and feels great in hands, quality is amazing. The internal battery and charge is the best. The case it came with is great. Really expensive but worth the upgrade, made sure to get insurance with this as well.

    Excellent controller. Feels slicker than the elite 1 at first but when you actually use it the handle area gets the perfect grip from heat. Perfect for competitive game, ei Call of Duty to get the button config just how you want it w the paddles so you dont take youtlr thumbs off the sticks

    Love the set up options, you can really customize this controller. I don't like the texture as much as I did the first Elite controller, but this one is OK. Internal battery has been great so far, holds charge for a long time. Adjustable tension on the sticks is a cool feature. They are very pricey I think though.

    Attention to detail and high level customization

    So many teviews pointing at the quality of the controller and I wont reapeat it, agreed. I have been using the elite series 1 and never did i though it was missing features, it has been great and zero issue (use adapter for playin with it on ps4 and switch whick makes gaming super enjoyable in every console). Then got the elite series 2 and was floored ny how much everything was improved. One detail I want to mention is the hair triggers function. In previous elite shortening the rhow of the trigger will make it by default that the maximum balues could not be reach (full trigger pull values) without adjusting in the software customization. Not a big deal nor a problem since all it takes is a quick adjustment in the trigger tab for customization. In the elite series 2 they made it so that when changing the total pull for the trigger (three option total), each option when changed automatically adjusts the reading from the trigger so that one gets full press galues even at the shortest throw. This is incredible attention to detail becuase it was absolutely acceptable to let the user go into the setting and adjsut it, but they decided to go the extar mile and make it happen on the fly. In short, is an epic controller for an epic console (Xbox X) and the upcoming new Xbox. Once you have you wont look back and because this controllers usually last a long time you will get your moneys worth.

    The elite controllers are so great because of the extra weight and the overall feel. Plus the color pops. Worth it if you don’t need the paddles or extra sticks!

    Very nice controller and a great value compared to standers controller. I was experiencing a lot of stick drift with standard controller and so far this has proven to be more durable and the battery last a long time.

    Upgraded from standard controller. There is a noticeable difference. I don't know if its wort almost double the price. If you find it on sale for 109.99 then I would say its worth it.

    Responsive and Sturdy. Trouble with camera stick locking forward which seems to be a common occurrence in the series 2, otherwise would give 5 stars. Battery life is fantastic. I didn't experience any drift. Joy stick options are great, helps with precision movement on aiming etc...

    A great controller. As a casual gamer I’m not a fan of the faceted (round) d-pad not having any tactile markers or bumps, so I had to buy an aftermarket “+” shaped d-pad accessory. If you also get the back paddles for this controller they are placed well but require some playtime to get used to, especially if you are accustomed to squeezing the grips.
