    Great feel in the hands non slip grip the buttons on the back are perfectly placed. The long last charge means you can play for hours, My last controller was a razor Wolverine tournament and it died after one year.

    The right bumper has failed, the rubber grip is peeling away. Quality is bad but while it worked, the battery life is great! Having buttons mapped to the underside helps in the heat of the moment

    The feeling in my hands that this controller gives me I feel like what it would be like to pull out Excalibur, so she is named just that. Customization is 'preme, as is the feel, function and pretty much everything about this thing. Was reluctant with all the bad reviews it gets nut I don't regret a thing.

    Yes this is an expensive controller but Microsoft knocked this one out of the park! Love the grip and all of the customizations including making the sticks tight and loose. If you are a competitive gamer especially fps the back paddles are key! Being able to jump and slide while aiming using your sticks has never been easier. I would recommend to anyone!

    Best controller ever made

    Not exaggerating here when I said the Elite 2 controller is the best controller ever made. The build quality is excellent. As a former owner of an Elite 1 controller, my biggest problem was the grips coming apart due to the heat of my hands. They fixed this by making the grips part of the controller. So much better. If you're an Xbox gamer, buy this.

    The tension adjustments on the thumb sticks is the best part about this controller. I’m coming from the original elite controller, so the paddles are nothing new. They have solved the rubber grip problem, but I’m my opinion, the way they did these grips causes them to be a little slippery. I haven’t had any connection or button issues that other review claim.

    The customization of this controller is awesome! The paddles and trigger locks are a game changer.. There is a learning curve to the paddles, I suggest starting with two paddles on the back and getting those down first. When you feel this controller in your hand, you will not want to ever pick up a regular Xbox controller again. Highly recommend.

    The xbox elite series 2 controller is a lot more comfortable to hold then the original elite controller. The controller comes with it's own charging base and the controller has a built in rechargeable battery and bluetooth. It's an all around great controller.

    I had the first gen Elite controller and had to have it warranted out three times. Luckily this last time the new Series 2 came out and Best Buy swapped it for the new one since the Original Elite is sold out and discontinued. The old controller would disconnect a lot and the left stick would just wander without moving it. Great upgrade and improvements
