    I'm not a "Hardcore" gamer yet I do enjoy some button smashing. This controller is a great addition to my Series X gaming console and I greatly appreciate the sturdy build quality especially the rechargeable battery inside as well as the tighter joy stick feel. Only con I say is the price... they can sale these for at least $100.00 and below but that's my opinion.

    Good controller! I only got it for R6 I used it for a min and it was good, but then I found another controller but overall I don’t regret buying it.

    This controller is without a doubt the best controller you can get on the market. Bluetooth makes it compatible with more than just Xbox, and the durability/quality is far and away so much better than the version 1 that it makes it look like a joke. Battery life is stellar so far and the added case with charging dock built in works very well. Wish the battery was removable, but 40 hours per charge is great.

    I use exclusively this controller to play games as it has a great feel to it, the battery lasts a long time and having the options to add triggers to any game is great.

    I purchased this controller for gaming on my PC. It connects via Bluetooth and operates flawlessly. I love the paddles on the back. I previously used a Scuf gaming PS4 remote with paddles. This controller has a higher quality feel to it.

    From fit to finish this controller is something any avid gamer should lay there hands on. The ability to customize and Taylor the device to fit your hand and game play style is incredible. The paddles took my game to the next level and overall I’m really enjoying it. My only complaint is the price but admit it has been worth every penny.

    The elite controllers have come such a long way! They seem to be made much better than the original ones years ago. So far, it's been great and not needing batteries has been a huge plus!

    This Xbox controller really does make a difference in game play. It may be slightly heavier that regular controller, but the accuracy makes the difference. I would recommend this controller over the regular one any day.

    The color is very vibrant, which, in my opinion, when purchasing a colored item such as a gaming controller, that is something we all fear will be an issue. My husband loves how great the quality of not only the color but the controller itself is. The joy sticks move smoothly creating for a nice time of video game playing. He loves that he can change out the sticks and other items to benefit his game play as well as to change up the colors if wanted. Not to mention that the accessories are magnetic making changing easier. This item works great for his XBOX and his PC use. We highly recommend.

    Good controller not great. Had some drift that was easily fixed by tightening the stick. But now have a R1 issue in which it is not responding on the first push which is a problem. It was the first issue I had with the elite 1 controller.

    My son was using a Razer Wolverine Ultra for his Xbox Series X and really like it, but one of the buttons started to stick so rather than break it trying to take it apart, we decided to purchase this Elite Series 2 Controller. I got lucky and found an open box controller in what appeared to be unused condition for nearly half off of the new controller price. Within a couple of days of using the controlled my Son had it all figured out and really likes it. If you have used the Razer controllers before the only major difference is the rear triggers on the Elite Series 2 are closer to the grips and are very sensitive to the press. Otherwise, it works well!

    I bought another one because I do really like them, but the first one I had started to have that right stick drift after a little less than 2 years, which at least on Ark Survival Evolved made the game unplayable with it making my player look straight at the ground constantly even if just standing still. There are plenty of videos online about this issue, (the spraying air and using alcohol "solutions" on some videos did not work) and I can say that from my experience it is real problem and should be unacceptable for the lofty price; MS should at least have a longer warranty for this particular issue.

    This isn't just a great controller; it's a game-changer. The moment I picked it up, I was impressed by how comfortable it felt in my hands—the ergonomics are spot-on, making even the longest gaming sessions feel effortless. The buttons are incredibly responsive, and the analog sticks offer pinpoint accuracy, which has already improved my reaction time in fast-paced games. Every input feels immediate and precise, giving me a level of control I didn't even know I was missing. Honestly, I'm kicking myself for not buying this sooner; it's completely transformed my gaming experience.

    These are easy to sync to the Xbox. Also, the controllers can be modified for sensativity, which helps my son in game controlling. The magnetic pieces are great because it makes the look of the controller customizable. Highly recommended!

    If you like tight sticks this controller is amazing it comes with tensioners but it still uses potentiometers so it is lacking in stick technology but they do feel great out of the box sometimes the Bluetooth can be a bit lacking and the bumper quality is a little lackluster but overall a great feeling controller especially if you like a heavy one.
