    Great controller. Love all the extra buttons on the backside. Makes playing Fortnite much easier. The only change I would make is having a mic on the controller like PlayStation does. other than that it definitely has a high end feel to it.

    I game on a PC and it’s kinda hard to find a controller that’s comfortable because I have very large hands but I can say it connects great to a computer works great. I just wished it was about an inch wider

    If you are the sort of person that even considers dropping nearly $200 on a controller then you know this is already for you. I owned and initially had a dislike of the Series 1 Elite, too heavy, too ugly, too battery dependent. That’s all gone. If they didn’t indeed save weight they did a better job of spreading it out. Battery life is now tied to an internal pack so be sure to get the warranty. Should anything happen in the rare instance of a bad battery you will be able to replace. Don’t worry about your settings, you can save 250 profiles for your controller. That’s likely more profiles than you have games (unless you’re the sort that already bought this controller). The new lighter weight and textured grip have yielded much improved ergonomics and better gameplay. The free app available wherever this controller connects is a very detailed look at what you can configure and save. The included charging stand and case are impeccably designed. Finally, the much lauded switch to USB-C allows me to connect the Series X|S regular controllers for updates.

    Best controller I've ever owned

    Great build quality and excellent battery life. I'm also thankful that you can easily remove the hair triggers from underneath as I have a tendency to accidentally hit them when playing. Comes with a nice little docking station too for charging. I feel they should release another version without the stand, hair triggers, extra sticks/D-pad, and case and it would drop the price significantly. The difference between this and the regular Xbox controller is so significant it seems there should be a product in the middle. In any case, this is simply the best PC gamepad you can buy right now however it DOES NOT come with the USB wireless adapter so you have to purchase that separately. I already had one so it wasn't a big deal for me but I can expect some people to be very upset when they pay that amount of money and then can't use it wirelessly on their PC.

    Fantastic controller! A little bit heavier than the original xbox controller, but got used to it quickly. Additional buttons can be easily changed on the xbox controller settings. Would recommend 100/10.

    This is what the Ver. 1 Should have been

    Ive been using this controller now for about a month. I love it and i also loved the first one. I got the Geek Squad Warranty on the first so i returned it for store credit and picked up this bad boy. First let me start off by saying that THANK GOD it has a internal battery build it. The first one didnt and they annoyed me, how are you gonna charge me over $100 for a controller and not have a battery pack. ANYWAYS, i like that the Ver 2 you can adjust the Tension on the sticks. I also like that the hair triggers, this is a game changer for FPS. The back panels on this ver are smaller than Ver1 (not much) and a different color. I enjoy mapping these to different buttons and i feel it gives me an edge when using them. That being said ...i got used to it and tried to use a regular controller it throws me off. Over all id say this is a buy if you have the extra money, you can probably get the same customizations with Scuff but i just prefer to get Xbox stuff. Also PLEASE get the geek squad Protection plan. The sticks started to go on my Ver1 and they gave me a brand new one no questions. I just had to purchase another geek squad plan for that one as well! Good Luck

    The controller's ergonomics are exceptional, particularly the macro buttons, which facilitate complex command inputs in fighting games. Pairing with my computer was seamless, eliminating any configuration complexities. The weight and grip are ideally balanced and comfortable.

    One Controller to Rule Them All

    Controller is extremely nice. Build quality is great, it is extremely responsive and offers an extreme level of customization. You can add back buttons for increased ease of use, but you can also remap every other button, and save the layouts into three different presets. It is expensive, but would be great to look into if you find yourself wanting more from your gaming experience. Caution to those who are buying “open-box.” Mine was considered “Excellent” but was heavily worn and smelled funny; it was returned promptly

    As a Playstation player I was skeptical when choosing a controller to play games on my PC, but when I gave the xbox elite a chance I was not disappointed, I highly recommend and encourage anyone in the market to follow my decision.

    This is the best controller I've used I still think the xbox 360 has a better feel though cause I can put both index and middle finger on both hands on the bumper and trigger comfortably not worth the elite 2 I use both on my right hand and only my index on the left besides that the adjustable sticks is amazing I bought it new and I'm not experiencing any issues with it like stick drift so that might be the used but I think you can remove stick drift on the Microsoft accessories app I use it for mobile gamelan latency is low so it's real responsive bumper paddles work great as well.

    I’m giving this controller 5 stars based off of the actual controller and feel of it. I’ve been using this controller for about 4-5 years now and it is my favorite controller of all time. With that being said I highly suggest the geek squad warranty because I am very clean and careful with my controllers and I haven’t had one last more than a year. The buttons become sticky or stop working and stick drift is going to happen at some point no matter what. I love the controller, but the longevity is not what it should be for $200
