    I’ve always been a fan of these controllers. Love that you can tighten down the sticks, change how far you need to press the triggers, and also save 3 different settings for games.

    A little heavy but the buttons give me zero issues. No stick drift after a year and I usually destroy my controllers after a couple months

  • Best contoller ever.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    While this contorller does not have the “premium feel” as its older brother, it feels good to have another more durable Elite contoller in my hands. Hands down one of the best contollers made.

    I do not use it enough to justify buying it but it is a great controller. Customizing the length of pull on the triggers is nice and the paddles on the back are great as well. Comes with a lot of ways to adjust the controller to fit your hand the way you want it. Bottom 2 paddles get in the way of my hands sometimes so I do not use those for the most part.

    The Xbox Elite Series 2 controller is hands down one of the best gamepads on the market, offering an impressive mix of performance, customization, and premium build quality. Designed for serious gamers, it brings pro-level features that go well beyond what you get with a standard Xbox controller.
