    Would have preferred removable, compatible battery for swapping out charged units over installed rechargeable battery but unit is more svelte as a result, pleasure in the hands. Bluetooth at last, a welcome addition. Prefer to use keyboard but carpel-tunnel wrists and arthritic joints compel using a controller. The Elite had been my go-to until this upgrade.

    This is a great value, everything I wanted and more. I love the feel of the controller in my hand and the red color is outstanding. It made playing Window PC games a breeze. Thanks Best Buy for the terrific tech.

    Excellent build quality, though some may experience quicker than usual LB or RB button malfunction, as I did. After opening it up and spraying some BW100 all is well

    Controller feels great in the hands, has grips on the outer wings, controllable triggers as well as 4 programmable buttons on the back of the controller that are essentially easier ways of hitting X Y A B. Would definitely recommend!

    A great upgrade from the first elite controller

    This controller is a huge upgrade from the original. The trigger stops are amazing, the dock for charging is great. And the app to customize everything is still great. The only thing that could be better is the grip. At times it feels slick to me instead of more grip which is the opposite of what was intended.

    Amazing controller that was recently updated to fix a lot of the major issues such as the notorious stick drift. Since COVID I've put in a professional level of gaming hours daily and have no received stick drift at all. In the event that I do receive stick drift, I also purchased the Geek Squad warranty plan for the additional peace of mind.

    Good works as described won’t make you better at games but offers a more advanced control scheme meaning you have to change the way you play games but this change could result in major preformance increases, requires power armor training (fallout joke just need to practice with the new buttons to get a hang of it)

    This is a very solid feeling upgrade from the original elite (which is still great). The series 2 feels tighter and lighter in your hand, has a much better updated case and charging cord. Love this controller will not use anything else, and am an avid daily gamer.

    I owned the elite series 1 and this one just feels a lot better than the first one. I've heard a lot of people complain about the dreaded "drifting", but as of yet I haven't had any problems with that or any other problems. Would defiantly recommend this controller.

    All of the pro elite series 2 xbox controllers have issues. I have owned for different controllers and always seem to develop a problem with either LB or RB about 4-5 months in. To be totally honest, unless you have a total tech membership this product is not worth the money. If you would like to follow through with a purchase just ensure you get insurance for it because it will definitely give you problems within a short time.

    Purchased as a replacement/upgrade for the 3 Elite V1's I've owned over the past several years. Right off the bat, the controller feels more thought out. The grips feel nice. The built in battery is a huge plus. USB-C is the natural progression and the fact that it will be compatible with next gen/Project Scarlet is HUGE. The paddles aren't as large, so they feel more organic.
