    Once you buy an elite series 2 there's no turning back. Best controller ever!!! You can modify it any way you like like adjusting the triggers to tightening the joysticks .

    Great Controller, Poor Quality Control

    This controller feels great in the hand and has a very nice weight and a overall premium fit and finish. I love the back paddles and the magnetic swap-able stick heads. The best feature of the controller in my opinion is that you can tighten the tension of the thumb sticks which is a game changer for me since I’ve always found the stock Xbox sticks to be too loose. The reason I’m giving this controller 2 stars is because the first controller I got had a loose and jiggly d-pad with both the circle and cross head on the right side of the d-pad. I exchanged the controller and the second one was even more loose then the first one so I decided to return it. I understand there’s always going to be defective products (especially with game controllers) however the fact I got 2 defective controllers back to back is unacceptable in my book for a premium controller that retails for $180.

    The grips are part of the shell I guess? very comfortable and I don't think they'll be falling off like the v1 ones did. battery last for 40hrs and comes with a charging dock and USB C -cable

    Was a gift for my 18 year old nephew. He was so excited about how many custom options he had available. As he put it it's like going from a Prius to a Corvette as far as performance.

    Great controller for Xbox One X, bought it for Warzone and added bonus it works with the Series X. If you game somewhat competitively at all, this is worth the upgrade.
