I've use the Elite controller from Microsoft since they first came out. They are a very nice controller. 40 hours per charge is impressive. Yes, you can even play and charge at the same time. The first series did have some issues. From wearing out thumb sticks to sprint/melee buttons. Yes, these controllers do get dropped from time to time. Ive broken triggers, worn out hand grips. Series 2 seems like a game changer. Its an impressive upgrade to an already great controller. Is it worth the cost? YES!

I’ve had and used other controllers that have extra paddles, button mapping etc, etc, but this is actually special. Tge in depth settings and tuning you can do with it are kinda countless. A couple of them being able to set the trigger deadzones without using the trigger stops, the extra tension you can add to the joysticks, and way more than i can manage to type here. I was hesitant on the purchase because of the price tag as well, but it’s a purchase I haven’t cone to regret unlike others I’ve made in the past.

I love this controller! It’s my go to when I game. It’s a little smaller to me, which is important. Because I have tiny hands! The grip has a nice feel to it. Only thing I don’t like about this controller is my RB sometimes does not work. As well as the joint sticks can get stick drift. Make sure to get the warranty.

Wayyyy better than the standard Xbox controller. The grips are better, having the under-the-controller buttons is so much better, having button mapping and thumb stick sensitivity adjustments is incredible.
The controller even comes with a hard carrying case that holds your extra buttons and acts as a charging station when plugged in. It’s crazy good.
Tbh I couldn’t go back to a reggie controller again.

Absolutely one of the best purchases of my video game life. I bought it almost 2 years ago, still works like brand new and has held up so well and still works great! Worth every penny!

The Xbox Elite Series 2 controller is incredible! The build quality is top-notch, with customizable buttons and paddles that make gaming feel more precise. The rechargeable battery lasts a long time, and the adjustable tension sticks are a nice touch. Worth every penny for serious gamers!

I love the elite series 2 controller. The textured grips are amazing. It took a while to get used to having paddles under the controller but they are easily removable if you want. Would highly recommend this.

Definitely smoother than the regular controller. Has the back paddles and changeable thumb sticks but doesn't last you any longer and the normal controller. Buttons starting to not register when clicked and its been about 6.5 months of regular use. Also rechargable. Would be 5 stars had it lasted long and the normal one

After doing my research, the only thing I am curious about this controller is durability. Seems like many have had to replace a few. I treat my stuff pretty good but besides that, I am loving every bit of this controller.
The feel is like no other controller. I was using a regular Xbox One S controller for the past two years and never thought the Elite model would actually be that much better. Boy, I was wrong.
Hands down my favorite Xbox and PC controller moving forward. Let's hope these reviewers are just mistreating their controllers one way or another.

Use it on my PC/Android phone primary, occasionally on my Xbox/iPad). The Xbox companion app on windows makes it super easy to update the controller or change the binding for all (3) profiles. The controller is the best you can get period. The accessories alone are awesome (charging case, different length sticks, back paddles, dpads) and make it worth the purchase. If you can catch it on sale, or even full price, buy it. If you are serious or semi serious about your gaming (Xbox/Android/iOS/PC). Buy it immediately.

best controller i’ve used for an xbox out right now. it has a weight to it which makes it feel more like a quality controller and the accessory swapping feature is a must have! durability could be better but i almost expect to go through controllers at a slightly faster then average rate because of how competitively i play.

As someone who has played the original Xbox, I gotta say that this, this is the best feeling and responsive controller I've ever felt. Feels premium to something that you're used to. Can't wait to use it for other games since I recently build my PC. Now, i'm going to play Halo: Master Chief Edition to reminisce on childhood experiences.

The piece was in very good condition with all original parts. Works perfectly and overall a very fun addition to my gaming setup. Would recommended for slightly competitive casual players specially for games that require multiple binds or could use multiple binds.

Great if you like to play Call of Duty. Can adjust everything for your liking in the settings. Definitely helps to adjust trigger functions and the back buttons for full customization. Also swapped out both sticks for more comfortable game play.

These look and feel Amazing.
They were on sale. The controller isn't that much different from other controllers when playing an actual game.
Playing shooting games like: (Battlefield 1 Battlefield 4 Battlefield HardLine Battlefield V Battlefield 2042 Call of Duty MW Ghost recon Wildlands The Division Rainbow Six Siege) did meet my expectations with this controller.
The thumb sticks are short, rough and not enough push moving the solider to ho fast this way or that way.
Maybe time will tell if this controller adopts to me.
