    The Microsoft Elite 2 controller is unquestionably the best controller available for all versions of X-Box, and at the recent sale price of $139.95 was a must buy item. Next day delivery was a very pleasant plus.

    This controller is awesome! Took me a few days to get used to the added levers and mapped buttons, but it has helped my gameplay.

    Best quality controller you can buy. Even without the ability to assign buttons to the levers, the obvious high quality of the controller makes it a good choice, and if you can get it on sale, even better!

    The XBOX Elite series controller is very useful for gaming on the Xbox and holds up well for long use with its long batter time.

    Great controller and can feel the quality. I like how you can map the buttons however you like and have 3 different mapping modes if you want for each different game.

    I had no idea what an improvement in design this controller achieved. It’s totally programmable button, paddles & triggers is a truly a feature I didn’t realize I wanted. I can’t recommend it enough. Five stars.

    Kind of elite

    Not near as solid as the gen 1 elite controller, trigger stop adjustment is nicer in my opinion, but I feel like I have issues with button presses not recognizing or notice I’ll have to press buttons a lot harder than normal. Lighter wait than gen 1 elite, feels cheaper. Overall it’s not bad if you can find one marked down. For the price I recommend a SCUF controller. Not quite as “Elite” as the previous model. Gets the job done.
