    Elite series 2

    Elite 2 at it's finest no matter what. I know there other pro controllers out in the market and they offer similar or customization than the elite 2 but I always default to the elite 2 because it feels perfect to control in my hands. What I wanted from a standard Xbox series controller the elite 2 is the perfect and only upgrade I need. I do wish though Microsoft/Xbox would retool/ refine their product durability testing because even though I love my elite 2 I've gotten through 2 pairs already and both stopped working because of stick drift and the bumper pads began to suddenly peel off and that's coming from someone who doesn't sweat a lot when gaming. Hopefully elite series 3 will be third time's a charm ( for real)

    I like many features about this but there are some things I wish I could further tweak. Pros: - So much button and stick customization - RGB light behind Xbox logo - Metal D-pad and back button triggers - Quality feel - Rubber grips do a good job of helping with “sweaty palm syndromes” by being a quick drying grid style rubber Cons: - Much heavier than any custom controller I’ve ever owned - Not personally a fan of back button trigger placement/configuration - RGB light not very vibrant or as expansive in colors available as it likes to advertise I think overall I’m happy with the purchase, but I don’t think I’ll buy it again. I will wait for what they make next or seek a different brand.

    You dont know what youre missing until you start playing with this controller. The paddles are a huge help for FPS games. The carry case, attachments, and charging docks are amazing add ons. The controller feels SO good and sturdy. The grips are amazing and great for holding on especially if you have sweaty hands.

    I have used the Original Elite and the Series 2 for years. By far the best controller on the market for me. Everything is extremely high quality, and i believe there is no comparison. Even the weighted feel, feels premium and durable. Its hard to find paddles on other controllers that are as comfortable as the Elite, especially with 4 paddle. So much customization you can do to give you every gaming advantage.

    Wow!! the quality on these are amazing. So I normally play fifa or madden, butt thought about a switch to fps games and though might as well givr these a try, and wow are they great. You have more customizations and the controller feels sturdy in your hands, its a good investment for sure.

    I love this bad boy. I was hesitant spending that much money on a controller but man, it's worth it. Setting the paddles up for custom use on different games is a breeze. It has greatly improved my play in FPS like Warzone. Feels amazing in the hands. Charge is ridiculously long. I simply love it.

    The Xbox controller is already one of my favorites. Going to the Elite 2 really made it feel cheap and that is saying something. It has a quality weight, incredible battery life, and the customization's are something I have wanted for a long time. Worth every dime - I am glad I invested in this - it's incredible.

    My first Elite Controller, I never owned one until recently. The feel of the controller is good and well made. The weight it has compare to the standard controller is good. The option to easily replace the thumb sticks and add the paddle trigger. Overall its a great controller for the money.

    The Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller for Xbox is easily one of the best controllers you can buy if you’re serious about gaming. It feels substantially more premium than a standard Xbox controller, with a comfortable, thoughtful design that’s built to last and enhance your play.

    I like these controllers alot because the battery last forever and the build quality is strong, but the best part is the customizable functions that makes Elite. Having this control much control can give you an advantage during certain games.

    If you are a serious gamer than this is the Xbox controller for you! It is made with excellent quality! You can create game profiles that will allow you to move the buttons and actions when the game itself won't let you set your controls as you want them! And best of all it holds a charge for a very long time! I play for 4-6 hours and not a problem. Might use half of the battery!

    Bought this as a replacement for my faulty Astro C40 controller which is now discontinued. Fortunately I was able to easily return that for this Elite controller through the Geek Squad replacement program which I highly reccomend for any controller if you're a heavy gamer. Regardless, the controller is great. I wish it was slightly larger for my bigger hands but thats just preference. I think this controller is a great value considering the included accessories you get, not forcing you to buy them seperately. The software you download via microsoft is also pretty sharp and gives you lots of options to fine tune your controller. Probably not the most optimal choice for pro gamers but a nice addition to your collection if you want something a bit more customizable then your standard controller.

    Good when brand new, stick drift happens on either left or right thumb stick after a few months of use. BestBuy makes it easy to exchange broken defective items with their pro plan without any hassle.
