    One of the best controllers I’ve ever owned. Worth the price. Especially if you’re into competitive gaming. The triggers on the back can make or break a match!

      Hi there,

      We're absolutely thrilled that you consider the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 to be the best controller you've ever had. If you don't want to use the back paddles, it's easy to remove them and store them for later use. For more information, please go here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/controller/get-to-know-elite-series-2

    This is what a premium controller is supposed to feel like, besides that I love the fact that you don’t need batteries.

    Paddles give the controller an edge allowing you to keep your thumbs on the thumbsticks.
