    I've gotten many different types of controller brands. Gotta say that this was on my #1 spot on my list immediately. Just needs a little more customization when it comes to button binding.

    Honestly, I was skeptical as I had the elite 1 and didn't see how it was going to be improved on. Well, internal reachable battery for one. Great feel on both sticks for 2 and included charger.

    Ive had multiple elite 2 controllers the look and feel good . They tend to stick drift quite easy if you drop them.

    No issues yet, much better construction than the original Elite controller. Paddles are way smaller and help hands rest more naturally on the controller. The tension adjustment is very nice and love the joy stick options. I’m sure just like anything else with a few years of regular use may see some issues, but so far perfect after a month of use.

    These remotes are amazing . I like that , they have a little weight to them and you can change out the toggle switches to pads or flat plates . Great job on these.

    Better than the standard controllers. But they do not last much since the buttons start to fail and get stick drift.

    I got this controller to use on my pc. The inserts are magnetic so they stay in place very well. Controls have a good feel and vibration feedback is not too much. I love this controller.

    This is simply the best controller out there, period. I upgraded from the previous Elite controller and its worth the price to upgrade. My favorite feature is the adjustable triggers. For some games you want a shorter, quicker trigger and you can easily change it on the fly with the preset stops. The previous model required you to go and map start and stop points, now its automatic.

    The series 2 is more ergonomic then its predecessor. The paddles are a little smaller making it much less likely to accidentally hit a button while setting the controller down, the rechargeable battery has great life, 3 settings for trigger pull for more control and also the joystick tension is adjustable. Buttons can be remapped to suit what u want to do. All in all.. Great controller.

    This controller is a MUST buy. If you are a FPS gamer this will change your game play. It will take awhile getting used to the paddles but well worth it. I recommend starting of off with one paddle first to train your muscle memory. DO not attempt to use all four to start or it will just mess you up more than it helps when you practice with it

    I own the original elite series controller and this series 2 by far is the best Xbox controller yet. Built in battery so you can charge via charging dock via USB C and it has new customization on the triggers and the response time is excellent. It also has new grips on it and before the previous version used to peel after some time. If you are a true hardcore gamer I strongly recommend.

    The most versatile controller there is. Easier customization than other controller and the memory slots are saved to the controller using the X-box accessories app.
