    Awesome controller. Tons of great customization options via the Xbox app. Has a nice weight in the hands and feels comfortable to hold. The paddles work really well and are my favorite part of the controller. Tends to break down quickly like regular xbox controller unfortunately.

    Controller was in good serviceable condition even though it was used. I recommend going that route if you’re looking for a cost friendly alternative.

    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!

    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

    This controller is what every gamer wants. Great design, programmable buttons, and great grips. Not to mention it’s rechargeable! If you can get past the price, this is an excellent controller. I use it for every game, but it really shines in competitive shooters because you can shorten the triggers and map certain actions to the paddles.

    Great feeling controller . More customizable than the previous gen. Decent weight and less finicky. A bit pricy for what you’re actually paying for but still decent. It doesn’t have the same level of innovation as the basic PS5 controller such as gyroscopes but it feels great in hand.

    I had bought this as a refurbished product, I really did love the first elite series of Xbox controllers. After 3 weeks of use the controller analog stick is stuck going left and the B button is mapped to the A button somehow... I WOULD be able to remap it but the OFFICIAL Xbox accessories app doesn't support this controller and I do not have an Xbox so I'm stuck with default configurations. I'm returning this tomorrow. Pro: Bluetooth works flawlessly on my windows PC Build Quality is excellent Love the way it charges in the case Con: Can't remap on Windows 11 No longer functions after three weeks of use. I would purchase another but since I can't remap, I will be passing on that.

    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

    Fantastic controller! This is the best controller for any console gamer wanting to have an edge or compete with PC players. The build is solid. It looks and feels great. Battery life is great. There are plenty of different options to configure to make the controller yours or to give you the right tools for each different game you might play.

    This is my second elite 2 controller. The first one broke in less than one year and I didn't buy the best buy warranty. This time around I did. These controller have nice features but they tend to fall apart quickly.

    This is an awesome controller with the perfect mapping and paddle locations. It’s easy to use and depending on how you hold your controller you can map the keys exactly how you want them. Definitely recommend for Xbox and pc players if they want an easy to map customizable setup. Definitely a bit expensive but after using it for a bit I think it slowly becomes worth it.

    It’s been over a year and I started experiencing problems it was perfect up until now didn’t have complaints up until now I thought it would last longer but it was good while it lasted it still works just annoying things like scrolling crazy fast for no reason and moving my aiming slightly.
