    I had purchased the XBox Elite 2 Controller because I've always wanted to try one and see what all the hype was about. First thing I noticed when purchasing this was how heavy the box was. Second, the build quality is just amazing. Third, the controls make a difference. Fourth, it was on sale as part of Best Buy's 15 days of gaming sales event leading up to Christmas.

    This was the core controller. I love the fact there’s no paddles cause I’m very clumsy, but you got everything else. The only gripe will be you cannot take out the battery.

    I didn’t think the controller was worth it. I decided to buy it with a coupon I found. After using it for a few hours and getting use to the extra controls I am not able to go back to a standard controller. This controller has helped me tremendously. I recommend this to anyone trying to get a slight advantage in game. Also no more batterys!!!

    Love the controller but certain aspects don’t last long. I keep mine very clean and still end up with stick drift, sticky buttons, and bumpers that don’t work within 6 months.

    Great controller, lots of customization available for mapping and trigger sensitivity. Has a built in rechargeable battery that seems to last forever. I can start gaming in the morning and 12 hours later it still says it’s at full. I also like that you can charge it in the case with either the usbc cable or the magnetic dock. Only time will tell how long the battery will last as it ages but so far it’s the best controller I have ever owned.

    When I ordered this, I knew it was an open-box, in great condition. That was true. It didnt come with the original box, but every item was accounted for.

    I was hesitant to purchase this controller based off the reviews, but I’m glad I gave it a chance. I honestly cannot find a single flaw on this controller. I’m not sure how Microsoft or anyone else could top this. The price is absolutely worth it in my opinion.

    The quality & customization of this controller are excellent. There’s a little bit too much play due to the interchangeable joysticks causing a dead zone. Buttons don’t register sometimes not sure if this is a software issue. GET RID OF THE PLAYSTATION JOYSTICK AND REPLACE WITH MID-HIGH JOYSTICK , there’s no in between height analog joystick.

    Great upgrade from the previous controller

    2 months in and I'm happy with the series 2! The smaller paddles make a big difference when your using the 4 paddles. The big seller on this model is the full grip and does it help when your playing a hot session on a FPS. So far not button or paddle problems and everything charges according. Charges last about 2x long that the previous controllers. Overall a better buy. My only grind is the previous elite controller felt heavier but that's a personal grind.

    Best Mod controller you can buy

    I was kind of disappointed at first because my A button was sticking. I had to return it to get a new and they were sold out. I loved the first Elite controller and think they are some of the best mod controllers on the market. I had a skud controller for my PS4 in the shape of Xbox controller and it just did not have the same feel.

    Really like this controller. Comes with different stick options. Really like optional taller stick (wish it came with two instead of one). Also has the ability to adjust the tension on the sticks with the included tool USB C connection. Includes nice case and charging dock. Battery is built into the controller so not replaceable. Battery life is excellent!

    I’ve really enjoyed this controller so far. The quick customization to your game play style for any game in just seconds by switching parts and profiles makes the user experience that much nicer. The controller is well built and very customizable. Also really enjoy the charger and case.

    It’s one of the best controllers I’ve ever owned but it only lasted just under two months. I’ve already ordered a new one but the drawback is that I had to spend 60$ to get a new warranty. Most of the the time my Best Buy doesn’t seem to carry these In store so you have to wait for shipping. Overall I don’t see myself ever using a different controller. But if I have to spend 60$ every two months I may have to look at other options l.

    The controller is excellent. It is making a noticeable difference in my gaming. Training myself to use it has been a different battle. Noticeable issues are the occasional missed press. When the remote has been dormant for longer than 10+ seconds, it seems to need a second press to engage.
