    I love these controllers for the Xbox. My wife bought me one and it's been great to use. Awesome battery life. Can pair with laptop and phone too. Charges relatively quick. Comes with a case and extra accessories. Can change the color on the app.

    The Elite Series 2 wireless controller is one of the best controllers in my opinion I love using the paddles on the back and my favorite part about this controller is the hair trigger lock

    These controllers are cool in theory but in performance I think this will be the last one i buy. I have had 3 of these in 4 years, each on having a different issue. The paddles work great on each one for 2-3 months. One of them had a headset jack issue where everytime someone talked to me, they heard themself echo in my headset, if i changed controllers the echo would stop. And my very first one of these the lb bumper wore out after 2-3 months.

    Great remote. Pricey but worth it. Comes with a case that keeps it safe, a charging stand that prevents it from getting scratched when set on a surface, a really nice usb-c 9 footer, and all the stick and paddle accessories. Remote feels a little different from the original, but doesn't feel foreign. Love the adjustable triggers and the Xbox accessories app is very functional.

    I had an old original Elite 2 so I just use the knobs and D pad from that set. It does feel a bit different than my old one but I think it's just the breaking in period. I am used to it now and I love it as much as my original.

    I loved the Elite Series 1 but the series 2 is twice as good! The paddles are shorter and angled different for a more comfortable feel, and the additional trigger lock options are sweet. Oh and I’m really loving the new stick sensitivity settings . . .what a difference they make! Add to all of that, an integrated rechargeable battery that seems to last for days (seriously)! All in all this is one awesome controller!

    Great product, great price. My original series 2 broke and didn’t to buy the full kit again, so the fact they offer this one without accessories and charger for less, is perfect.

    Great so far, have only had it for about a month. I use it to play PC games, the plug and play is always simple for xbox controllers and this one is no different. I like the paddle buttons very much. Battery life seems fantastic so far, and the case is awesome.

    I have two of these and I think they are the best controllers ever. The heavier weight feels great and the joysticks are very smooth. I have the total tech on them and if they ever have a problem I just swap it out for another. Highly recommend

    I love this controller. Soo good. I use the extra back buttons and tabs all the time. Makes gaming so much better now. Also the new d-pad should be standard now on new Xbox controllers it’s that good.

    The one I had previously only lasted a year and a half which, of course, is outside of warranty. I'm hoping this one does better because I like how solid it is and the case it comes with. It also seems to have a better connection with my xbox than other controllers.

    I bought this for my husband and i made sure i bought the product protection for it since my husband does play and uses it alot. He enjoys it. However with all the usage the buttons were not working properly anymore . We went to best buy and were able to get a replacement free of charge because we had the protection on it.

    Incredible controller. On the small size, but before long you will not even notice it. It feels great in your hand, and always works perfectly. Easily the best controller I have ever owned. Is it a lot of money? Yes, but it is worth spending the extra cash on it

    Worthy Upgrade to 1st Elite Controller

    Having the first one, I could not imagine Microsoft topping the 1st Elite Controller. I have to say, I am impressed with their new incarnation. The even more adjustable triggers are very helpful in CoD type games. I like the extra slot for a setting and overall quality, for example, the grips are much better. I highly suggest this controller for anyone who wants to get the most out of their gaming experience.

    Better feel than the original and improved paddles

    The Elite controllers are heavier than the standard Xbox One controllers and feel much better. I originally had the 1st version, but after about 2 yrs the menu button started sticking and I did a warranty exchange. The new version has a better texture and the paddle sticks are better also. I've used it on my Xbox One X and PC, works great, but for PC need the wireless dongle to use.
