    When you pick up this controller quality is the first thing you feel. You know this is what you paid for. The heaviness, the quality, the perfect textured grip shows the Xbox took this controller to the next level. Even better than the first generation of this controller. Then to top it off, you can add custom button mapping to Each button even change the color of the Xbox logo. Everything from customization to mapping is just a nice touch.

    I bought this controller wanting to use the paddles in the back, but the controller offers way more. The durability of this controller compared to the regular ones is a good enough reason to buy this! It feels sturdy and nice while playing and you also have the ability to alter your button mapping. This can also be used with other systems, not just the Xbox.

    Every button has an authoritative, reassuring press, but lowering to 4 stars because it's not quite as durable as you'd think. The vibration motors have begun rattling the chassis juuuust enough to where it's noticeable, and the rubber, textured grip has come loose up near the shoulder buttons. While in a different league entirely to the base controller, the Elite 2 is truly great... for ~8 months. Low-great, high-good thereafter.

    I think the controller and it's features are some of the best in the market. I use it on my PC and I only have 2 notes. 1. The connection issues are the only thing that made me debate on returning it. It will drop for little to no reason even when updated and right next to my PC. 2. The price is a tad high for a controller. I do understand it has fancy features but I payed over 250 with the warranty which I wasnt to thrilled about.

    Love all the features of this controller, feels solid and of good quality. Some people complain about the weight but it makes it feel premium to me. I suggest get the the geek squad protection since I feel like no controller is safe from the eventual stick drift or a button messing up.

    It’s just like the Elite Series 2 controller. The only difference being that you don’t get the additional accessories. I also love the white color.

    I was hesitant to buy this again. The first one I got for Christmas from my wife. Brand new right out of the box it was defective and had stick drift and I was pretty disappointed.. was impossible to play first person shooters like call of duty. So We returned and if getting it from Walmart was the reason I don’t know..Then bought it from bestbuy and wow!! I’m really impressed and enjoy using this for Warzone.. grippy and a little heavier but has a nice feel with a lot of settings.. good thing I took a chance on it again.. worth the buy!

    Xbox Elite 2 with the Xbox Series X honest review

    This controller offers everything you need for the Xbox Series X. This is an official Microsoft controller so you don't have to worry about it getting blocked from the console. I have purchased other Xbox Series X controllers and the build quality is quite different. You can feel the weight of this controller and tell it is not a 3rd party plastic knockoff. I highly recommend this controller.

    I originally had the original Elite controller, and upgraded to this one after I had multiple issues with the original. I did have my first unit eventually develop stick drift issues, so I took it in and was able to get a new one. So far, I have not had issues with the replacement after several months of daily use. I still wish we could map keyboard keys to the back paddles for things like Push to talk bindings in games. I've now become very attached to the option of swapping out the analog sticks for something is a better fit to my style.
