    Best Xbox controller by far. Series 2 is an improvement over Series 1 with shorter paddles that are more comfortable for people with big hands. Built-in rechargeable battery is a nice bonus

    If you’re still using one of those $50 ish controllers save your money for this thing. Best controller I’ve ever owned. The precision is incredible. Feels like a top shelf piece of medical or military gear more than a video game controller.

    The elite 2 is an incredible controller, probably the best you can buy! It’s is leaps and bounds better in every aspect that’s the first elite controller. Once you use and elite 2 controller you won’t want anything else.

    Mid the paddles are weird to get used to so just decided to switch to keyboard and mouse and it worked out even better. But harder to learn but more freedom/ binds to play around with. Quality of controller is amazing and if you’re able to get used to it definitely worth it

    Very very very happy with my new Elite 2 controller. Love the adjustable triggers. The paddles are going to take some getting use to. Not to happy with the weight , it is much heavier than my old ones.

    Drift Starting after 3 Months of Use

    AMAZING CONTROLLER. Best controller I’ve ever had my hands on. But after 3 months of use, I’m starting to experience the dreadful drifting and also the little nob you click on the back of the controller has this soft material on it and that broke off without me ever even using that nob. Definitely not cool when I mainly play FPS games. If it wasn’t for the drift and nob material breaking off this is the best controller ever made. But for a controller that is $200 it shouldn’t have any of these issues to be very honest with you.

    The feeling of this controller is amazing!!! I got it for my husband and he can not keep it out his hands. But, when I get a hold of it, I do enjoy playing game for a bit longer than usually, thanks to this controller.

    I was reluctant to buy the Elite 2, after reading many bad reviews of it, but I went ahead and ordered one as I love my xbox original elite 1. Been using it for almost a month and it works great. Will write more after six month.
