    I've been using this controller for almost a year now and I love it. I think this is the best controller you can buy right now. You can remap the buttons, adjust the sensitivity of each joystick, make 3 presets of customization for different games. The joysticks themselves can be swapped out for different shaped ones that come with it. I have gotten so used to the the paddles on the back that I can't go back to a normal controller.

    Completely changes how you game. I primarily use it for FPS, and with the heightened thumbsticks your aim can increase substantially. The paddles give you the ability to never remove your thumb from the joystick, which is mainly why I got this one, and is a huge plus. The ability to customize trigger sensitivity and stop position also helps a lot. The overall build is very well constructed. No issues structurally what so ever. I highly recommend this controller if you want to give yourself a little extra edge in your gameplay.

    The used controller was very accurate. The controller was in excellent condition. It had all the parts that come with the controller and was clean and ready to use. I will always trust bestbuy with its open box items and they are always in correct condition

    I was a bit hesitant to buy this, especially because of the pricing. Wasn’t sure if the price was gonna make it up or feel any different than any regular controller I used but I was so wrong. You can feel a difference in a quality controller. I love the case it comes with and the customization is great. Need to play a few hours with it to change it to your settings. Charging battery is a lot better as well and the pads make it easier to play more competitive if that’s what you want.

    Good controller with good external build quality and feel. Always get the warranty as this controller is known to have issues with stick drift or buttons getting stuck. Great while it works!

    I purchased this controller about a month ago and what a difference in gameplay. I no longer use the buttons during play instead am using the paddles which for me works much more efficient. The quality of this is amazing and better than any other controller I had. I was always a fan of PlayStation controllers until someone told me this controller will change my mind in many ways for gaming. If you are a hardcore FPS I recommend this controller all day long.

    The controller is very high quality, has a lot of good features, and is easily accessible with all of its features. The main problem is how easily it breakers. I have had one for 1 year and have had to turn it in once for repair and have the same rescue ring problem again. It has lots of problems with the bumpers like one click registering two and having to press in hard to register it.

    Improvement, but still needs tweaks

    The Series 2 Elite is a much needed improvement over its predecessor, but still not perfect. The thumbsticks are still too easy to accidentally knock off, and I personally think the rounded ones should be smooth. Some pros would be the built in battery life is impressive, and it has 3 customizable control mapping options. The extra paddle buttons don't get knocked off as easily as the series 1 controller.

    Good product inline with all of the other Xbox controllers. Remarkably well built and the rubber grips are a pleasant addition as is the inbuilt battery. Overkill for normal gaming but totally worth it as a gift item for someone who enjoys gaming.

    I have the original Elite controller and it’s still working great except I wish the rubber grips were not peeling off. This new Elite controller is better in every way than the original. It has better rubber grips which look like they will never peel, hopefully. It has a built in battery and a charger built into the case. I also think the buttons feel better too. Hopefully it holds up over time. For now, I highly recommend it.

    Best of the best. I had the original Elite controller (and still do.. 4 years and going strong). When I got the Series X Console, it seemed like a miss pairing to use a generic controller with such a beautiful console. Series 2 Elite builds on the strengths of the original... refined paddles, digitally selectable profiles, additional trigger stop options etc. it also has a great feature of being able to charge the internal battery while it in its case. A++ device.... that price tag tho....

    These are good for what they are. The controller itself is a bit heavy. The sticks have very bad stick drift after just a few months.

    Awesome, sleek controller. Has a nice weight to it. The buttons on the back are really convenient for fast-paced gameplay and has an ergonomic design. Love that it is rechargeable, I can go about a week between charges. My only issue is that the 'A' button has already started acting up, only about a month into my use.
