Great controller
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The hair triggers are what I like the most about the changes that they made compared to the 1st series. The paddles are different but in a good way the feel better but a bit smaller. The grip and weight are great. Recharged battery built in, idk if it’ll be a good thing or bad but the charging options are pretty cool.

Game changer
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for elden ring primarily and the paddles are a game changer, will definitely come in handy in other games. It has a premium feel, lots of customization options and is easy to customize and setup.

Decent
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.At first the controller felt amazing to use, quick and responsive but as a couple months went by stick drift and sticky buttons began to occur as well as bumpers not registering consistently. Made for a short time not a long one, would not recommend if not ready to buy another one.

Xbox controller series 2
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A very good controller. I've gotten mine a couple years ago when it first came out. I love the paddles on the back. The only thing that sucks is the accessories don't come with the controller so you have to buy the paddles separately. Recently though the controller has started to crack and rip places. I don't abuse it when I get mad at my games. It just starts disintegrating. Other than that lasts a while and no stick drift at all. Would recommend. Just in case I'd buy the protection plan with it.

Game-Changer Controller for Apex Legends!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just grabbed the Microsoft Elite Series 2 controller and it’s been amazing for my Apex Legends sessions! The build is super solid, and it feels premium in my hands. What really stands out are the paddles at the back. They make a huge difference in fast-paced games like Apex. I can jump, reload, and do all sorts of moves without taking my thumbs off the sticks. It’s been a game-changer for sure, making everything more responsive and upping my game. The battery life is great too, lasting through even the longest gaming marathons. If you’re big into games like Apex, this controller is a must-have!

A decent controller!
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the Microsoft Elite Series 2 wireless controller to play some games on my PC and Xbox. It's a pretty good controller, but not perfect. The design is sleek and comfortable, and the buttons are responsive and customizable. The battery life is also impressive, lasting for hours on a single charge. However, I have some issues with the durability and the price. The controller feels a bit fragile, and I'm worried it might break easily. The price is also quite high, especially compared to other controllers on the market. Overall, I think it's a decent controller for gaming, but not worth the hype.

Awesome controller
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.What can I say this controller is the GOAT of controllers, never had any stick drift issues, the battery last weeks if not months no issue and I'm a heavy gamer. Well built and cant take a good fall or two. connectivity is not a issue with this controller and I connect it to multiple devices and it always works. I cant see MS coming out with a 3 sine this one hits all the check marks TBH.

Xbox elite
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this controller and for me it was totally worth the extra money. (vs the standard xbox controller.) Before, I was going through xbox controllers every 9 months or so. (I replace them once a button starts to fail) For me, this controller has lasted over 2.5 years. I did start to get cosmetic damages (glued-on grips were starting to come apart) and battery charging problems started about 18 to 20 months in- but before I would be on my 3rd or 4th controller in that same time frame! button re-mapping is awesome! and the bottom triggers changed the way I play (but it did take some time to get used to) I used to have a problem with hitting the thumb stick buttons on accident and moving the shoulder buttons to the bottom made things faster and easier. The controller is pretty much done now, but its still doing its job (it needs to be tethered for power and the grips need to be replaced) I hope it holds out till version 2 comes out.

Great Controller
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this controller for my PC at the same time I got a Playstation Edge controller for my PS5. This controller is so much better. Everything feels so much more responsive, from the sticks to the triggers. It sits better in my hands and just feels better overall. Even if the Edge controller had four back triggers like this one instead of two, I’d still rate this one better. I’ve been a Playstation over Xbox fan my whole life, and it makes me sad to rate something Xbox better than PS. But truth is truth. I wish I could use one of these on my PS5.

Controller works great!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great controller, no issues with it. I only gave 4 Stars since I purchased an open box excellent and it did not contain the charger for the case or all of the joysticks. My local Best Buy was unable to assist me further.

Feels much better than Standard controller
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.PROS * The overall feel is much better than the standard controllers * the ABXY paddles are great to use as long a you get used to actually using them. The only time I don't use them is when I have to have a finger on a button to tap fast several times in a row since thumb speed is much faster than trying to press the paddle button with middle or ring finger. In most scenarios is gives you the ability to keeps your thumbs both on the thumb-sticks while being able to press ABXY. * replaceable thumb-stick grips is nice. CONS * The thumb-sticks wear out after a while and then start to have drift issues or inaccurate movement. This can be fixed by refurbishing the controller to have new thumb-stick part on the internals but that either needs money or skills to do. * my first 2 elite controllers lasted about 2 years each before I started having thumb stick issues. Both issues were on the left stick used for movement. Will be curious to see if this one is any different. * expensive

Best controller on the market hands down
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Xbox Elite 2 controller is the best controller on the market. I've used them for years and they're well worth the price. If you're not a fan of using back paddles then the Elite Series 2 core is perfect for you. It took 1000s of hours for mine to develop any sort of stick drift, the average gamer will never encounter this problem, even then it was minimal. If you do use paddles, the placement of these is spectacular. They fall exactly where you lay your fingers naturally and are crisp with firm presses every time. The grip is nice and the design is great. 5/5. Perfection.

I LOVE THIS CONTROLLER!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I LOVE this controller! The controller has some weight to it, which I like. The paddles and d-pad are made of metal and very sturdy. The stem of the sticks are also metal. The paddles, sticks, and d-pad are easy to switch out, no tools needed. Programming controller is super easy using the app on the Xbox or computer. I have smaller hands and the position of the paddles that come with the controller aren't bad. I have switched mine out to use the scuff ones and the difference is marginal between the two. If you need to feel the click of the paddles (I personally don't care about that clicky feel) then switching to the scuff ones is for you. I am pretty rough on my controllers and so far so good. If you are in the market for a premium controller then this one is a great option. I wouldn't pay any mind to the bad reviews they probably just had a bad one, which happens in manufacturing. I had no issues connecting it to my new Series X and it works flawlessly. Get this controller you won't be sorry

Stick drift
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The controller is amazing until it starts having issues. I've had mine for a month and its got stick drift in the right analog. The RB button will register twice when pressed once, sticking buttons, its sad. I love this controller but it would get 5 stars if it was built with better quality internally.
