    Good quality controller with a great battery life. I haven't had any complaints about the hardware. If you are looking to get this for use with your PC, know you will need to download/update drivers using an additional Xbox app. While inconvenient, it shouldn't deter you from the great quality comfort this controller provides.

    Good controllers as I don’t have the need of the more expensive controllers. Only thing I notice is the buttons and joysticks can stop working after a year or more

    The controller feels great and gives you a competitive advantage in FPS games. The only issue is that not longer after use, you get some stick drift and the bumpers feel like they’re going out. It’s too expensive to go out as quickly as it does.

    Nice High End Controller but is it worth the Price

    The Elite Series 2 is a really nice high end controller. The Customization of buttons is super nice for series gamers while the build quality and general in hand feel are far better than the standard Xbox Controller. Also really love that it comes with it's own charging dock. But is it worth the retail price? In my opinion, No. Look for it on sale for around $139. I feel like that price is a little more in line with where it should be.

    Great grip and just has an overall nice feel to it. Doesn’t take batteries and comes with a charger and charging dock along with case and multiple options for analog sticks and dpad. Paddles on the back do take some getting used to and I started with only 2 but after some play time with them there’s no way you could go back to a regular controller which in a way is good and bad. If you’re looking for a way to help improve your game and have one of the hottest controllers on the market this if for you.

    This controller is perfect but lacks longevity with normal use. Not a super heavy gamer, maybe 2hrs at a time if that. If it wasn't for Geek squad, I probably wouldn't recommend. I've had 4 so far and have gotten 4-6 months before a button, bumper or trigger starts to malfunction.

    Amazing controller! Although it kind of has to be with the price. Everything about the controller is worth it. The controller feels premium through and through, from the grip to the buttons and triggers. It's very customizable with the button mapping and the hardware. Easily the most comfortable controller. The only issue is that the weight might take some getting used to. I've also heard that some users experienced sticky buttons but haven't come across any problems! Worth the money if you can spend it.

    Impressed with how much of a upgrade the elite 2 is compared to the elite 1, it brought a smile to my face and was not regretting my purchase as soon as I held the elite 2 in my hands! The improved choices of analog sticks makes the controller feel like it was made for you. Having 3 configuration for the back paddle mapping compared to the 2 on the elite1 is the prefect amount, with also having a default setting making it seem like 4 button mapping layouts. Would recommend to anyone especially the to the elite gamers who want the most out of their gaming experience!

    At first I thought the 200+ price point was outrageous but actually using the controller I can see why it was necessary. The controller is great, at first the diamond textured grips felt wierd but i got used to it. I have been using this non stop and the best part is I barely have to charge it. I played games for an entire week on one battery charge which to me is pretty outstanding. And the adjustable control sticks just make it all come together. Whatever game I choose to play the sticks are able to support the comfort and usefulness that i look for. I highly recommend this as a pick up.
