    I never really understand limited I'd been using standard controllers are until getting the Xbox Elite controller. With the paddles and customization I can react faster and my hands are more comfortable after long gaming sessions. Doesn't matter if I'm gaming casually or competitively using this controller has become a must.

    Feels nice in my hands, and the button mechanics are solid. The use of the paddle mapping software is pretty easy too.

    Excellent controller... The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 feels a lot better than the included controller in the Series X/S and seems more like a true "next gen" controller.

    Great controller. Not as good as the original elite controller. Looks are better but quality seems to be a little under the first elite. Bought this one for a friend. Ive had mine for about 6 months now.

    Always the best controller on the market. Very hard to go back to a standard controller after using an elite. The weight and customization options make it stand out from other controllers.

    The trigger locks are the best feeling tiggers I've ever had on any pro controller I've owned and I've had a bunch of series 1 elites and they don't come close to the series 2 IMO. Overall a very good controller if you have the extra cash to spend but well worth it if your looking for a good competitive controller.

    Best controller out on the market. If you play FPS games you have to get this. USB Type C charging and comes with awesome case and can charge while in the case. Bluetooth as well. Honestly I can not think of a con on this controller its just great all around but maybe the price but I would say its worth it.

    Definitely a great controller. Has a solid feel and build, interchangeable sticks, pads and programmable buttons. The only downside of the cost. But if it lasts for a year then it paid for itself.

    If you're going to game for 3 or more hours a day and have long sessions, the Elite controller is a must. There are cheaper ways to go, but this is an excellent controller.
