    Once you get this controller, you will not be able to go back to any other controller. It is heavy and feels so nice to hold. Quality is top tier.

    Best 1st party controller in the business. MS finally listened and fixed the crap shoulder buttons on the Elite 1 version. Ive used this version since it came out and love it 2 years in.

    I like the controller a lot but I got two bad ones in a row. The bottom left paddle button came loose right out of the box, and this is the controller I got in replace of the first one, which had bad bumpers. I hope I did not get a refurbished device....

      Hey there,

      We're sorry that there's an issue with the bumpers on your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. If you haven't already done so, we recommend exchanging it for a new one through Best Buy. If that's not possible, please reach out to Xbox Support for assistance under its 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,
      Chuck

    Only issue is that it only has three clicks to adjust the thumbsticks, and even on the lowest setting they are stiffer than a stock controller

    Fits well in my handle, analog sticks and buttons are an appropriate distance to be efficient in FPS games.

    Elite Series two but is it really better?

    Elite controls are miles ahead of the game. Elite two takes one step forward and two steps back. Grip in my opinion is better, it does 3 saved profiles instead of 2 and has a shift key feature. The paddles on the back are made out of metal and good luck breaking them. Three settings on your tiggers for more control firing. My problem, bumpers, I've had about 10 elites 2 and all of them have the same problem, the bumpers go out within 6 to 12 months.

    It’s a great controller. Takes some getting use too. The only advantage is that it feels more premium and you get the extra buttons. I returned it and just got a regular controller.

    This is my son’s second Elite controller in less than a year. The first one had a button go bad after a few months of use. He really likes this controller even though it has way to many buttons for me to comprehend.
