    First "upgraded" controller I have ever purchased and it has been working as expected so far. I really like the customization/remapping capabilities as well as the extra set of paddles. Still getting accustomed to the extra paddles, but I can attribute some improvements in my gameplay to this controller. Build quality is great and only time will tell how it holds up.

    A real ‘game changer’!

    I cannot quite believe the cost of this controller, BUT, the ability to customize everything about it is phenomenal. My gaming has vastly improved because of it due to the back paddles allowing me to perform multiple tasks at once. Feels good and heavy in the hand plus it comes with a case that lets you charge whilst it is in there.

    This is a very solid feeling upgrade from the original elite (which is still great). The series 2 feels tighter and lighter in your hand, has a much better updated case and charging cord. Love this controller will not use anything else, and am an avid daily gamer.

    The best xbox controller money can buy. The battery life is by far the best quality and a perfect reason why you should buy. Not only that but the comfort and build is top of the line.

    I owned the elite series 1 and this one just feels a lot better than the first one. I've heard a lot of people complain about the dreaded "drifting", but as of yet I haven't had any problems with that or any other problems. Would defiantly recommend this controller.

    Would have preferred removable, compatible battery for swapping out charged units over installed rechargeable battery but unit is more svelte as a result, pleasure in the hands. Bluetooth at last, a welcome addition. Prefer to use keyboard but carpel-tunnel wrists and arthritic joints compel using a controller. The Elite had been my go-to until this upgrade.

    This controller is very comfortable and I love the back paddles on the controller which comes in handy when playing competitively. Would definitely recommend this controller if you play very seriously.

    Bought a used one and overall quality is great. The left bumper is a bit finicky at times but whatd else did you expect of a used controller. The cashier even threw in a deal so shoutout to that worker.

    This is my favorite controller EVER. I have had 4 of them now and will never try another one. Attempted to use a scuf controller but didnt feel as substantial as the E2. I play a lot of games and they last 8-10 months usually playing 2-3 hours a day.

    Amazing controller that was recently updated to fix a lot of the major issues such as the notorious stick drift. Since COVID I've put in a professional level of gaming hours daily and have no received stick drift at all. In the event that I do receive stick drift, I also purchased the Geek Squad warranty plan for the additional peace of mind.

    Got this for my adult son who always bought his own equipment since he was in High School and was proud of it. I repaid his hard work and dedication to his college studies with this top of the line controller. He is extremely happy with it.
