    The controller fits nicely in your hands and gives the most comfort while playing your favorite games. The extra paddles give the opportunity to really get into the game and have an advantage over others. Built in batteries are nice. Charging station is lovely. Case being able to allow the cable through it is nice as well.

    It's okay. I love the weight and how it feels in the hands. I wish there was something that explained the button mapping more on the app. It claims to have all of these configurations, however I think that it boils down to the paddles are tied to the main buttons so they are not additional buttons they are just replacement buttons. What good is having two of the same button? That is lame

    Very responsive in comparison to many other gamepads I have used. Very solid feel. Fully charged battery seems to last forever. Have played over 10 hours and the bluetooth monitor shows that I am still around 90%. Works well with the bluetooth module built into my MSI X570 Tomahawk motherboard. Worth the extra you pay. Pros: Responsive and wider turning in Need for Speed, Dirt and other racing games. Long battery life Adjustable sticks (comes with the screw driver to increase the tension) Works well with Bluetooth Charges via USB C connector Cons: Really none except to get the extra paddles and sticks you have to purchase the accessories kit

    I've had this controller for about 3 weeks nlw with no issues at all. I have also owned at least two scuf controllers and each scuf controller had issues at least 1 week aster use. This controller sensitivity is excellent and the adjustable triggers makes it great for Call of Duty and Warzone. The back paddles uses an app to configure them how you would like and is a very easy to use. This controller quality wise is better than any scuf or console controller i have ever used. I use this for my PC and dont own an Xbox Series X or S although for PC this controller is a beast. For quality this controller beats anything out right now. I know that PS is coming out with its own controller with back paddles, but from early reports is going to be significantly more expensive than this controller. If the Elite controller ever starts experiencing issues, i may give the PS controller a try.

    High price while not including the rear buttons. The grip is nice and the battery life is excellent. The ABXY buttons are loud and feel cheaper than even my cheap back up controller. The D-pad also feels cheap and you can hear the low quality spring inside it. The vibration works well. Hopefully lasts longer than the controller included with the console, which started drifting after about 100 hours of use. In conclusion, way overpriced for this level of quality.

    It is great however the bumpers eventually give out and stop working. I am not a rager and I never throw or bang my controllers. However, my bumpers still have given out where it doesn’t function properly to where I had to use the paddles instead for it. The paddles do not come with the controller so I ordered an extra set from Amazon.

    Been enjoying my Elite 2 controller. Love the weight behind it and the way the joy sticks and paddles feel. I also like being able to adjust the trigger distance when playing first person shooters.

    I was a big fan of the elite series one controller and for those who are the same I will leave these comparisons if you're trying to make a decision on whether to buy the new one. The grip has changed from the soft touch to a more textured rubber. I'm not as big of a fan of it but that will be personal preference. The paddles have been improved, previously The originals were so large that I would usually take two off because they would get in the way. They have now shrunk them and shaped them in such a way that I can comfortably hold the controller while leaving all four on. The shape of the controller is still the original and not the newer design of the series X, which is unfortunate because I believe the series X style is a more comfortable fit. There's also no new share button and the profile button cannot be programmed to become the share button. I have yet to experience any stick drift or any of the other common problems that seem to occur with the elites. However, I have only owned this for a month and I never experienced any of those problems on my original. Overall, I believe if you were a fan of the original Elite you will be a fan of the series two.

    Wow! When you open the box and pick up the controller for the first time you will notice the difference right away. It just feels right in your hands and works well. The extreme customization is amazing. I love being able to switch from Forza to CoD with the press of a button. Its expensive but totally worth it for dedicated gamers. Battery life is unreal!

    I’m glad I decided to spend the extra money and get this. The feel of the controller is unrivaled. I lil the extra weight to it. And you can tell within minutes of use that the quality of the buttons and joysticks are top notch. The reason is so much better as well during gameplay. And I like how u can self adjust them to your liking. I won’t buy any other controller from now on. Def sold me on these. I also like how you can change the color on the Xbox button backlight. Makes for a cool personalization for your remote.

    Great controller, its about time they dropped the Elite series 3 though. I think this one is lagging behind (literally) when it comes to the amount of Hz it connects too. The higher the better. Almost got a different one until i found it it had no rumble to the controller. I need to feel the game! Extremely comfortable and easy to use. Buy!!!

    This device checks a lot of boxes. It's really comfortable to hold, and has a nice weight to it. Clearly uses good materials as it just feels great to hold and use. The problem is that it's very unreliable. I've now gone through 3 of these via warranty repair, which is crazy for a device of this sort. My regular Xbox controllers have worked solidly (minus some wear on the rubber from use), but the Elite Series 2 has had issues with the bumpers across all the devices I've had within 6 months. A very frustrating experience, and definitely would recommend waiting until a version 3 or updated release where Microsoft has sorted out these issues. Search online, they're very common.

    Simply put, this is the best controller I’ve ever used. I love all of the customizations that can be made between the stick tensions, trigger locks, button mapping and multiple profiles. Love the rechargeable battery and the long charging cord. Only con would be the price. Wish it was about $40-0 less expensive. But no other controller can compare. Love it!
