    The high price tag is worth it and the paddles are a game changer. It feels like a premium controller. I use this controller for steam and pc games. it works great and you charge it with the carrying case.

    The best controller you could ever buy for Xbox and pc. Would be 5 stars, except the bumpers can’t seem to last longer than a couple of years. Definitely get the replacement plan on it. Other thank that, it’s comfortable, solid, highly customizable and extremely precise.

    Definitely upgrade from older elite

    Got this due to 1st gen elite controller breaking again. Had few problems with the first gen and seems Xbox fixed most of those problems with this second gen. Seems like the paddles are smaller then first gen elite and and the third trigger stop seems like it turns the trigger into a button with the limited rage of motion, which is probably going to take some time to get used to. Favorite upgrade from the first gen to second has to be the analog resistance control. Thought the resistance function wouldn’t be used be definitely find it useful. Would definitely recommend as long as it holds up longer then the first gen elite controller.

    So much better than the series 1, comfort level is amazing with soft touch and ease with the buttons and knobs. Great job! Can't wait to see how they will upgrade this one!

    This is one of the best premium controllers you can get. It has a premium feel and weight to it. The thumbsticks being fully customizable is very useful and the paddles on the back are game changing. The only issue I have is that sometimes there is stick drift but it's not bad and you can adjust dead zone settings to help with that.

    An Amazing Controller | Buy The 2-YEAR PROTECTION

    I have used the Elite Controllers (Series 1 & 2) since they came out. Before I get started; BUY THE 2-YEAR PROTECTION PLAN -You will not find a better controller -It is comfortable -Good weight (Not too light/heavy) -Better paddles than Scuf -No batteries (Wireless & Can charge-and-play) -Easy Mapping CONS: -Every controller I have had of these has had stick-drift (I've had to replace 3-4 of them)

    Controller features is a FIVE STAR. the extra features are great, the four paddles, extra joysticks, tunable resistance on the joysticks. i've been using nothing but an elite 2 for the past few years. The downside, and it's a major one, is the controller durability. Since 2020 I've exchanged controllers about 8 times. I play a lot of warzone and the bumper buttons (LB, RB) are always the first buttons to start losing responsiveness. Usually one joystick will get stick drift, sometimes bothe will get it. Depending on how much you game, buy the $60, 2 year waranty.

    Good upgrade from gen 1 elite controller

    I have the gen 1 elite controller and everything working completely fine. Upgraded to see if any improvements were made and there definitely is. The trigger can be locked for shorter tension and their's 3 settings. Can create multiple settings for paddles behind controller. Love the charging dock can be charged in the case it came with. Battery life is long lasting and also thumbsticks tension can be adjusted which is good for FPS games. Also one big thing I recommend is customizing one of the paddles for SPRINT on the left thumbstick so you don't get drifting issues as I did with my elite gen 1 controller still going strong

      Hi there,

      Thank you for sharing what a good upgrade your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 has been for you. It's great to hear that you're a fan of its improved customization features and rechargeable battery. Setting one of the paddles to "sprint" in shooters and action games is an excellent suggestion, too! We hope you win a lot of online matches with it.

      Happy gaming,

    Not really needed for the price

    I don't know why I spend so much money on a controller because I'm a PC gamer. Only use this thing for Street fighter and sports games. Great quality and customization options but truthfully could have just gotten by with the regular controller. Can't recommend because of the price and if you really want great control just get a PC and switch to keyboard and mouse

    Best controller I used hands down. If you are looking for a solid controller to actually game and use all the features to the max the elite series 2 is the way to go. Never had any problems with this controller besides the left or right bumper rarely work after a few months of consistent use. But other than though this controller is worth the price now that they lowered it.

    I was on the fence with this controller due to price and my inability to get used to the original elite controller with my short amount of time with it. Let me say, I have no regrets after 4 days with this one. The paddles are sized perfectly. Having large hands I had to grip my controller a bit differently in order to keep my hands from cramping, but the learning curve overall hasn’t been as bad as I’d imagined. I am significantly better at Apex legends now, and regularly make plays that I simply couldn’t with a normal controller. If you love gaming and take it even a little bit seriously, buy this controller, it is worth it.

    I had to wait till stores opened back up in order to use the replacement plan I had purchased with the series 1 controller I previously bought my son. After the extra out of pocket cost plus another 2 year replacement, this ended out being a great birthday present for him. I think it has a few more attachments in comparison to the previous series and some more software programming functionality. The 2 year replacement is definitely worth it with the cost of the controller.

    This is a great controller. It's a little bit bigger and feels more sturdy. Took a min to get used to the tiny size difference. So far no issues. I love the triggers ypu can add as well as the different settings you can set . I also love that we can connect to phones as well.
