Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the product's great overall performance, excellent battery life, and extensive customization options. They frequently praise its comfortable feel, good weight, and comfortable grip. However, a significant concern raised by users is the issue of stick drift, which appears to develop quickly. Additionally, some customers have experienced problems with button quality and found the price to be a point of hesitation.

    Honestly, I didn't have high hopes due to the hype, but it absolutely lives up to it! Great weight in the hands, each button click and trigger pull feels solid, and the grips are fantastic feeling. GET IT WITH THE CHARGING CASE!

    Love the controller. It does exactly what it says and does it better than the first generation Elite controller. Definitely get the replacement plan offered by Best Buy! If you game hard, you won’t regret it. Let’s face it, stick drift and button issues are a real thing no matter how much money you spend!

    If you are sick of removing your thumbs from your joysticks when you are in the middle of a battle, you would enjoy this controller. For me, I play a lot of first person shooters and this has helped me elevate my game okay. Im able to continue to battle with out removing my thumbs from the joysticks. The build quality is really nice and feels well built. There is a bit more weight to the controller because they use more metal parts. The only issue I have noticed is stock drift still plaques the controller. At this price point I would love to see hall effects joysticks. Other the. That the controller is worth the money.

    Works very well and has very good build quality. The paddles on the back make it very easy to keep you fingers on the joystick while using abxy. VERY pricy though. This is a premium priced product that really is not needed for most people.

    I cannot quite believe the cost of this controller, BUT, the ability to customize everything about it is phenomenal. My gaming has vastly improved because of it due to the back paddles allowing me to perform multiple tasks at once. Feels good and heavy in the hand plus it comes with a case that lets you charge whilst it is in there.

    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!

    Costly but worth every penny. I had purchased the original version and after about a year and a half. The left bumper broke. If I had a regular controller and used it daily I would be lucky if it would last half the time. It feels better and the new version even comes with a convenient rechargable battery pack that you can charge while it is in the storage case.

    Quality is solid and the adjustments you can make

    Hardware - 5/5 Software - 3/5 Would have been an easy 5/5 overall but the software for windows pc is so lackluster. You have extra buttons on the back of the controller but you cant map them to anything other than standard controller buttons. Even on xbox you can make them open apps or toggle mic etc. Makes no sense they wouldnt expand that functionality on the pc with hot keys or mouse clicks etc. The whole reason i bought it was to use the back buttons for discord push to talk and mute/deafen buttons so when i play games using the controller i dont have to push a button on my keyboard while holding onto the controller. I did eventually get it to work but i had to buy a 3rd party app to do it because microsoft has limited the functionality of what could be super useful macro keys or programmable buttons. Quality is solid and the adustments to thumbsticks and triggers are well designed.

    Absolutely love this controller. I use it for my Xbox but I also use it for CODM on my iPhone, It's a game changer for that game. it has a good feel to it the paddles are in a good area and they are easy to use. I would tell anyone to pick this up if you can it's worth it.

    [Employee of bestbuy] This controller feels amazing right out of the box. The build quality is solid, the buttons are super responsive, and the grips make long gaming sessions comfortable without slipping. The analog sticks are smooth and precise, and the triggers feel great for shooters and racing games. Battery life has been reliable, and it connects quickly with no issues. Overall, this is a high-quality controller that performs exactly as expected—definitely worth the purchase.

    I bought this controller in excellent condition open box. I don’t think I would consider it in excellent condition, but the controller itself is amazing. I love the back detachable buttons, and the weight of the controller Is on the heavy side, which gives it a premium feel. It definitely feels like a $200 controller. If you’re a hard-core gamer, I recommend buying it. You can map out the buttons on the accessories app on your Xbox very easily. You can also create up to three profiles. I don’t recommend it for the casual gamer.
