Elite Xbox controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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

Paddles are like a extra set of hands.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really nice. My son loves it for the games he plays. Fortnight is good with it because of the paddles he can build immediately without backing out and the other games work real well with it. The paddles are very convenient. Pricy though.

Great controller!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Controller has a very premium feeling. I had the last variation of the Elite controller and it served me well for a couple of years. Eventually I started to get some stick drift and the rubberized grips started to come off. This controller is nicer than it's predecessor and I've seen no such problems yet.

Xbox Elite 2 controller 1 month review
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly I was skeptical at first, but the controller fits very comfortably and has a hight build quality. Stick drift is definitely still a thing, but with the stick tension adjustment it was easy to find a balance, unlike the original Xbox controller. You get what you get as far as tension goes. Overall great product, things I wish it had; hall effect joysticks and a better price tag (high cost).

Just amazing. Well worth its cost.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller is just amazing. I was skeptical to order based on cost but I would recommend it with ease after using it. The controller just feels much more premium and solid compared to the Original Elite. The customzations are better, the grips are better, the triggers are a pleasure. Even the Xbox Home button has been upgraded and is sturdy and not "Squishy". Within a few minutes of customizing I noticed an immediate different in my MW abilities. I didnt expect to notice any real difference, but it was there!!! The charging base is also a huge blessing. I was excited to see it was USB-C as it was the biggest thing I hated about the xbox controllers of past (micro USB is terrible), however the dock has made that moot anyway!! Also unlike the cable, putting it on the dock charges it without turning the xbox back on!

You get what you pay for, sort of
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Feels good in my hands and has a nice weight to it. This was a replacement for a series one elite that had worn out in a number of ways long before it should have for what I paid. I'm concerned the series 2 will be showing the same wear within the same time period, but decided to take a chance anyway. I guess time will tell. Some third-party controllers have the same weight but simply don't have the same feel as the authentic Microsoft elite controllers, which is why I bit the bullet and went ahead and bought another one despite thinking the last one wore out way too fast for the price point.

HAS SO MUCH POTENTIAL.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Build appears to be sturdy and quality at first use. Paddles are responsive and made of metal so they won’t break. HOWEVER….. the left thumb stick has been known to get loose while in use. And the I started experiencing stick drift after 4 months of use. I recommend always buying the replacement warranty because you will need to use it.

The best controller for Xbox or PC
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I did lots of research before purchasing and had it narrowed down to this controller and a Scuff prestige. After purchasing the elite I am very happy I went with it. The customization of the controls is great and the feel of the controller in your hand is just what I was looking for.
