    Ever since I first laid hands on the first Elite controller... I could NEVER go back to the basic one. It wasn’t perfect but it was a good step in the right direction. Now for the Elite Series 2 controller... its on a whole different new level for me, the tension adjusters on the sticks is what sold me, but the USB-C and longer 40 hours battery was a good hit. For sure the other features like slimmer paddles and Bluetooth for PC or Android use, even works with my NVidia shield ... however this must be an Apple iOS thing cuz I can’t get it to be seen by my iPhone while in pairing mode. Above all I HIGHLY recommend it if you are medium to heavy gamer. It’s definitely with the $30 more than the series 1

    Excellent over product, amazing build quality, very durable, clean design. The main selling point of this product is the remmapable buttons and having the access to swap out mix and match back buttons, thumb sticks D-pad, and adjusting your trigger threshold to allow for a more comfortable experience. Over this a highly recommendable product for new and old gamers.

    The Microsoft Elite Series 2 Core Controller is awesome! The controls are super responsive, and you can customize everything, which is great for gaming. The battery lasts forever, so no need to charge it all the time. It's a bit pricey, but worth it for serious gamers. Highly recommend!

    Amazing Product, Definitely an upgrade over the original Xbox Elite Series 1 Controller! Thumb Stick tension adjuster is amazing, absolutely love it along with the Hair Trigger upgrade! Definitely improves gaming performance! This would definitely be a great gift for someone who own an Xbox One Console! This product is a 10/10 after owning a scuff controller for 2 years its quality definitely doesn't touch this amazing Controller, very solid and well made all around. Microsoft definitely knows what their doing with this controller. Just absolutely amazing!!

    First thought that came to my mind is that this is what every Xbox controller should be like feels very premier just like the PS five controller and also has USB-C to charge which is a huge downgrade on the regular controller that comes with the Xbox itself in 2022 we shouldn’t have to put batteries in our controllers as a new Xbox user on the series X I find it crazy that I had to buy another controller that was more up-to-date with what we handled today that’s why this controller get a five star for me for the fluidity smoothness and the rubber grip

    This thing is dense and has weight, doesnt feel cheap and as plasticish or light. It feels very premium, havent changed any button layout o but its fine the way it is, I like the fact it is usb-c for faster charging. I havent tried Bluetooth since wired is my favored way to play. Very well worth the money and investment that comes with a charging dock in the case. I love the magnetic buttons on this little beast too.The back triggers work great with im extremely happy with.

    I love the elite 2 controller, it’s perfect for gaming , the only con is approximately 1 year in the controller will start to “wear and tear” the grips on the sides will start to flap and the bumpers, and sticks will start to malfunction, I recommend getting the warranty and replacing your controller 9 months in!

    This is my daily driver. It has been a noticeable upgrade for the original Elite controller. I had ran into stick drift after using for some time and replaced my original with the extended warranty I purchased. Now I have since learned that you can adjust for stick drift in settings, Xbox, or Steam. Hope that helps if you are one of the multitude that run into that and think it’s a faulty controller.
