    This newest version of the Elite is great! It's much better than my other Elite. I've had zero connection/audio issues so far. I love the shorter trigger lock adjustment. The paddles are shorter too so I won't have to take a grinder to them like the first version.

    This controller is fantastic, you take advantage of trigger stops, paddles and can deviate your opponent’s in any game due to those features quick reloading with out taking your finger off the trigger

    If you can afford it and it's the first time you hold and use this controller you'll be very impressed. It is the most comfortable controller I own including the PS5 and Switch Pro (which are great on their own).

    Love the quality of it it feels great in my hand. But the stick drift is horrible and I’ve only had the controller for 3 months. Also one of the paddle on the back is starting to become unresponsive unless I press really hard. Kinda disappointed in this especially for the money spent. I don’t know what To buy next because I’m so used to the paddles but I guess I’ll figure it out.

    Not near as solid as the gen 1 elite controller, trigger stop adjustment is nicer in my opinion, but I feel like I have issues with button presses not recognizing or notice I’ll have to press buttons a lot harder than normal. Lighter wait than gen 1 elite, feels cheaper. Overall it’s not bad if you can find one marked down. For the price I recommend a SCUF controller. Not quite as “Elite” as the previous model. Gets the job done.

    The Microsoft Elite 2 controller is unquestionably the best controller available for all versions of X-Box, and at the recent sale price of $139.95 was a must buy item. Next day delivery was a very pleasant plus.

    I had no idea what an improvement in design this controller achieved. It’s totally programmable button, paddles & triggers is a truly a feature I didn’t realize I wanted. I can’t recommend it enough. Five stars.

    The Elite controller is very high quality. The first time you hold it in your hands, it is obviously much better than the entry level controller...... then you actually use it! Much more precise controls! A little price, but you will like it.

    me and my son were looking forward to this controller. love the battery built in was having fun using it then the right bumper went bad. i have sent it out for replacement. as i was looking at my Microsoft page i saw my 1 year warranty had the wrong expiration date [4/20/20]! how does a controller that came out in November expire in April? i called up they said would be fixed and next day it showed expiration of 2/4/20 called back to hear them say they will try to fix but they changed the warranty to 90 days for a 200.00 controller. 1] they cant changed a promised warrenty after you purchase it still trying to get threw to them to fix it
