    I don’t understand why this is not part of the the console… these are so easy to use! And just like the new Astro A50 headphones, I don’t have to mount it far away, near the console, but can mount the charging station next to my gaming chair and start a game from there, or charge it more conveniently!

    I love this controller, balanced very well and sits very comfortably in hand! The customization factor is great as well, being able to change how far you have to press the trigger in for activation and changing the thumb sticks to be looser or tighter, I find myself using both underneath buttons and the regular top buttons as well depending on the game but I do tend to use both. Overall great controller!

    Microsoft -Xbox Elie Wireless Controller Series 2 A complaint is it hits them together the trigger stop on each side fell off which is a weird thing it's happen for such a high priced item. Yes, you can even play and charge at the same time. The first series did have some issues. From wearing out thumb sticks to sprint/melee buttons

    Nothing more need be said than I love this controller! I use the paddles underneath to make actions like sprinting and melees easier to perform. I have 4 separate setups -- 2 PCs and an XBOX X and an XBOX S. This controller completes the set (4th one). I use it and another one wired for my PCs and wireless for my XBOXs.

    I hadn’t actually intended to buy the elite series 2, but I was having issues with one of my joysticks on the elite series 1 controller. I learned it would be nearly the same price as buying the newer model to send in the old one for repair, so I went ahead and ordered the series 2. The controller feels great, just like the series 1, but the battery life is incredible. Highly recommend this controller!

    I bought the original elite controller approximately 3 years ago and the life that the elites who has makes the other one feel cheap and inferior! The new style of the rubber grips is a major improvement. The tension controls on the thumbsticks makes a difference between night and day. Everything feels new fresh and reinvented. Bottom line... This is a controller that you have to have if you are serious about your gaming!

    Best controller ever

    By far the best controller I’ve ever used. This thing is built like a tank; I was not expecting it to be so heavy, but I love that about it. The build quality of this is incredible. It feels really solid in your hands. All the buttons can be remapped using the settings on your Xbox. The price tag is pretty daunting, but I paid for the 2 year warranty so it’s the only controller I’ll need for the next few years.

    Love this controller, use it on the Xbox but now just Use it to play some PC Games with it where it doesn’t make a difference to use keyboard and mouse and or use it as a hybrid setup with keyboard & mouse. Has a high quality feel to it, extra controller functions, no regrets purchasing this controller. We have 2 of these controllers, both work like new even with heavy use,

    Sturdy well made controller

    Reliable sturdy controller. I have heard complaints about stick drift, but the 2 I have had didn't have any. Also, if you do have stick drift, you can always adjust it in the device settings on the Xbox. I tend to set the paddles to the joystick clicks as it seems more natural to click things this way. I have to admit, it is a luxury item, but if you play a lot, it is worth it.

    Works well with the paddles. The black grips just dont work so well when your hands warm up and get a little sweaty. Hands start to slip. It like those hard rubbers that you cant really grip too good.

    Best Controller I Have Tried So Far!

    The aesthetics of the controller drew me in along with the built in rechargeable battery. Also have the ability to remove the toggles for longer ones is great. The d-bad also can be swapped out for a traditional d pad style button. The rear paddles make it handy when playing COD so you can slide cancel, jump, and move flawlessly throughout the game.

    Excellent Functionality and customization, though it is very expensive, the price jump over the original was a bit unnecessary. the rubber grips are a big help for sweaty gaming sessions, and the rechargable battery is a nice touch, although it is a shame that it is built-in and non removable.

    I have an xbox elite series 1 and it came with a nice charging case and extra accessories and the paddles. This was an open box item in so called "excellent condition and it doesn't have the paddles underneath or extra parts or the charging case. Very disappointing, but the controller does work and looks nice with my Xbox series S.
