    Definitely a step up from the included controllers. This is my first “elite” controller and the paddles on the back are great for certain games.

    The controller is awesome when it works. Unfortunately, the left trigger went bad out of nowhere. I was losing fights in call of duty because I would aim down sights and then it would switch back to hip fire while I held it down. Microsoft is never fixing the elite 2. I’m going to wait until they release an Elite 3.

    Controller feels good ergonomically speaking, however, the face buttons are not 100% reliable. It took me a while to notice the issue because I was using the rear paddles for most of my gaming, and then it was too late to return it.

    Came with a damaged cord

    I got my controller refurbished. It was also the last box available. I should have taken that as a red flag, as when i opened the box it was apparent why the product was returned in the first place. The cord looked like it had caught fire for the previous owner, and Best Buy didnt replace the cable despite the very obvious electrical fire that the USB-C portion of the cable had very clearly gone through. This product should have either been trashed or had a cable replacement done. Disappointed in what I recieved, but the controller looks and works fine aside from a lack of click on the right hand finger pedal. Would rate 2 1/2 stars if possible.

    This is the best controller ever made, from the features to the quality. The wireless connection is unbelievable, I can not tell between wired and wireless with this device. I love it and highly recommend it.
