    So much better than the series 1, comfort level is amazing with soft touch and ease with the buttons and knobs. Great job! Can't wait to see how they will upgrade this one!

    Every one of these controllers will have a little bit of stick dead zone. I returned one for another and still had dead movement in the sticks, I’m a stickler for stuff like that, and I guess it’s just a design flaw. HOWEVER it surprisingly doesn’t affect my gameplay in any way and I play DayZ and call of Duty a lot. Serves its purpose with the double button assignment feature and better paddles (I use lower half gen 1 elite paddles & upper half gen 2 & it’s perfect)

    I have the gen 1 elite controller and everything working completely fine. Upgraded to see if any improvements were made and there definitely is. The trigger can be locked for shorter tension and their's 3 settings. Can create multiple settings for paddles behind controller. Love the charging dock can be charged in the case it came with. Battery life is long lasting and also thumbsticks tension can be adjusted which is good for FPS games. Also one big thing I recommend is customizing one of the paddles for SPRINT on the left thumbstick so you don't get drifting issues as I did with my elite gen 1 controller still going strong

      Hi there,

      Thank you for sharing what a good upgrade your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 has been for you. It's great to hear that you're a fan of its improved customization features and rechargeable battery. Setting one of the paddles to "sprint" in shooters and action games is an excellent suggestion, too! We hope you win a lot of online matches with it.

      Happy gaming,

    Nice Controller

    Great Product, only problem is very, very minor stickdrift. You will have to add a very small deadzone. This might just be my product but other than that its a good controller. Variable trigger travel is good for a lot of games. The adjustable stick tension is good for precision games too. There could also be more options for Joysticks but the ones included work fine, like if they made it so that you could buy more options it would be great. The controller is also sleek and stealthy enough for my taste.

    I was on the fence with this controller due to price and my inability to get used to the original elite controller with my short amount of time with it. Let me say, I have no regrets after 4 days with this one. The paddles are sized perfectly. Having large hands I had to grip my controller a bit differently in order to keep my hands from cramping, but the learning curve overall hasn’t been as bad as I’d imagined. I am significantly better at Apex legends now, and regularly make plays that I simply couldn’t with a normal controller. If you love gaming and take it even a little bit seriously, buy this controller, it is worth it.

    MS Elite 2 Wireless Controller is off the wall good. Looks and feels fast and with the paddle shifters you really get the bang for the money.

    I have used the Elite Controllers (Series 1 & 2) since they came out. Before I get started; BUY THE 2-YEAR PROTECTION PLAN -You will not find a better controller -It is comfortable -Good weight (Not too light/heavy) -Better paddles than Scuf -No batteries (Wireless & Can charge-and-play) -Easy Mapping CONS: -Every controller I have had of these has had stick-drift (I've had to replace 3-4 of them)

    Great product, however give 4 stars for two reasons. One being that the A button does not register if your clicking towards the bottom of it i find myself in game having to click the button mulit times to get to work and as you know in COD every milisecond counts epsecially with cheaters so ima actually change my 4 star to a 3 as it is so aggrating if it wasnt for how well everything else on it felt id already sent it back...will be sending it back reguarless to see if this problem can be fixed im not paying for defaultly equipment. Another issue i have is the program for controlling mapping for the elite. I dont need 3 profiles at once to have to click between if i just need two i should be able to turn off the defualt and any of the other three customizedable profiles i hate being in a game having to switch deafult and 3 profiles to get to what i need if my game only requires two profiles..like one for walking in an open world then another for fighting...

    This is a great feeling controller. The functionality on the controller itself and also what you can do in the Xbox accessories app is nice. But if you play a lot, especially games like Fortnite that are demanding on the bumpers, they will fail in about 8 months. I've ran through 3 of these in about 16 months. ALWAYS get Geek Squad protection on these.
