    Controller works great and it’s still working great despite using it every day and accidentally dropping it off my bed once. Sturdy and great for competitive games.

    I had the elite series one and that was great until I started getting ghost movements in the left joystick. The series 2 Elite feels a bit better with the added grips and I LOVE the recharging feature. Been playing 7 days straight still haven’t needed to recharge the remote. And this is 5-7 hours a day playing. I love that I can map the triggers in the back for games like APEX and Smite. Very customizable. It is expensive, but you “feel” the difference. I think a little cheaper and it’s 100% hands down the best controller ever.

    Always love these controllers sadly this is my third one over time the left thumb stick seems to never recenter completely it's not that noticeable until you're playing a game that requires precision and this is also the second controller where the right bumper also messed up and sometimes doesn't work.

    It matches my Xbox Series S. I already have the Xbox Elite 2 controller but use that with my Xbox Series X. Which is black like the X. Anyway I also had the first Xbox Elite controller so already have all that i need for the new one. Which just seems like its suppose to go with the Xbox Series S.

    Keep it away from kids that don't know how to respect people's things. This is my 3rd Elite Controller. 1 first gen and 2 second gen. My daughters completely broke the first 2. This one goes under lock and key. I love the USB TYPE C for data and charging it cuts down on the amount of stuff I have on my desk. Virtually no input lag wireless. Works better in COD wired in my opinion. Great weight to it. It feels solid and premium. Just enough weight to make you feel engaged in the action but not too much to fatigue the forearms.

    Best controller I used hands down. If you are looking for a solid controller to actually game and use all the features to the max the elite series 2 is the way to go. Never had any problems with this controller besides the left or right bumper rarely work after a few months of consistent use. But other than though this controller is worth the price now that they lowered it.

    Its good, but the quality with the buttons are hit or miss. I believe there was a lawsuit against M$ over button issues.

    I’ve been considering buying this elite controller for a while and then I jumped the gun. Honestly it’s way better than the old version. The 1st model, as it may have the same functions as the old elite this version is heavier which feels really good in your hands. I tend to game a lot when I get the chance but with this let me just say you’ll have a lot more better games with freer movements. (Because of the buttons).
