    Recently bought this controller due to my scuf having stick drift the amount of customization you can do with this controller is insane and it feels really good in hand with the textured handles and also comes with trigger stops , back buttons that you can make any button and other joysticks overall 9/10 if it didn’t get stick drift it would be a 10 definitely worth the money

    I have for a long time been very displeased with XBOX controller that were manufactured by Microsoft. You ended up paying a premium price for a product that was anything but. They would malfunction after a marginal amount of time, and even physically break with little wear and tear. The Elite 2 is proving to be a step in the right direction. The premium build quality and vast amount of customizable features make for a very well made, and well conceived controller. USB-C or wireless charging by way of a docking station that is provided are great additions to improve the value. The down side is really the idea that it takes over $150 of a price tag for Microsoft o provide a quality controller option. But at least it's a pretty good one.

    Great controller overall. If you overuse L1/R1 it can stop working with usual pressure. I have had to return 3 now for the same issue. Pros: paddles allow you to keep your thumbs on the sticks at all times and ease of use on non shooters Rechargable, good battery life Cons: L1/R1 issue

    Having complete control is gaming makes everything much more enjoyable and that is what the Xbox Elite 2 controller provides. The most important feature for me was the thumbstick tensioning. I increased it fully and it had an immediate effect in playing First Person Shooters. The control is much more precise and the stick drifting is gone. Add in the full wrap around grips and a more solid and compact feel, this controller fits perfectly in my hands. All the customizable features can help make your favorite games play even more fun! I got my money out of the XE1 controller, I know I'll get it out of this one as well!

    Good: Excellent controller, takes everything you like about a regular Xbox controller and makes it better. Adds bottom ABXY paddles so you can keep your right thumb of the joystick. USB-C charging and good battery life. Swappable sticks, nice case. Adjustable trigger length is awesome- I use it on the shortest setting for everything but racing games Meh: price is high- $120 seems more reasonable. Warranty was initially 90 days, Microsoft has bumped that to 1 year due to “mechanical failures” Bad: left stick has failed after 10 months of light and gentle use. An additional 2-3 year warranty feels like a requirement at this price point

    Really like all the new added features. New grips feel great controller as a whole feels fantastic. LT & RT Have new lil grip textures feel pretty good nice lil addition. The new thumb sticks are better than the old ones, but my only complaint though is it only comes with one tall thumb stick. Also wanna mention the tightening of the thumb sticks is really cool. Having 3 controller profiles for different games over the old 2 nice addition too. The carrying case with the ability to charge while in the case is very awesome it can also be charged outside case with a lil stand like thing (doesn’t need the lil stand) it can still charge and play like v1 even though not too happy with the battery being internal not removable on v2. Very nice to have such a long usb c wired cord too. Came with 14 day ultimate game pass (Minecraft Dungeons just came out on gamepass :) overall very satisfied with purchase!

    I think the controller and it's features are some of the best in the market. I use it on my PC and I only have 2 notes. 1. The connection issues are the only thing that made me debate on returning it. It will drop for little to no reason even when updated and right next to my PC. 2. The price is a tad high for a controller. I do understand it has fancy features but I payed over 250 with the warranty which I wasnt to thrilled about.

    Hands down the best controller on the market. Tons of options to make it work exactly how you want it too from trigger stops to programmable buttons. Excels for keeping you thumbs on the sticks in FPS games and having flappy paddle shifters in racing games. Only gripe, the internal battery. It is great and lasts a long time however in a few years when the battery goes bad you won’t be able to pop in new AAs or a new rechargeable pack.

    For being an open box buy, this controller works fantastic! Paddles on the back are fantastic for the extra control slots I use for multiple games. Snag one if you can!

    Controller is excellent for gamers. Love how it can be modified and fitted to your individual game play needs. Carry case and accessories are all very well bit and in my opinion worth the money.

    It's nice, but $180 nice?

    I'm not sure why everyone says this controller is so great. It's pretty nice and all, but worth the $180 I'm not so sure. It's comfortable, comes with interchangeable parts, 4 paddle buttons on the bottom, rechargeable, thumbsticks triggrts are adjustable, and control scheme profiles. To anyone reading this that has read other reviews of people talking about the thumbsticks feeling lose out of the box, they are adjustable. It comes with a tool that you can use to make them stiff or loose. It's actually pretty nice being able to adjust how much tension is required to move the stick. Can make fine point aim easier.

    What can you say about it, if you play on pc or console then you already know this is by far one of the best controllers to get. I would recommend this to anyone, but it's only fault is the dreaded stick drift. It may happen in a few weeks or years but it does happen. Once they add magnetic sticks, this will be the perfect controller but till then its nearly perfect.
