I am not a professional gamer. I picked this up because they didn't have any other controllers in stock. I didn't think much of this controller until I played around with it a bit and started noticing subtleties of ability to configure that made my experience more reactive and more involved or immersive. I didn't know the thumbsticks were magnetic and I didn't know that you could turn them left or turn them right to tighten up or loosen up the control of the stick which is pretty cool. The ability to select the trigger depth for quicker reaction is fun although I found I kept going back to not putting any tension on the trigger because it was just more comfortable to me. My only complaint is the design of the controller itself I feel that the black nubby grip sides should be a little bit longer I find after a few hours of gaming that I don't like the grip compared to the PlayStation experience. I don't agree that the price point should be $200, I think 125 would suffice but I don't know. I didn't realize until I bought this that this is not a removable battery type wireless charger, it's a Lithium-Ion rechargeable so you get eight solid hours of gameplay off this thing without having to recharge it. Compared to having to put batteries in your controller every so often, I love this lithium ion battery option. PlayStation gives you that by default but again subtleties here.

Worth getting it over the full elite controller bundle as you can save on the accesories by buying third party ones for much cheaper. Got this version for $93 with the BB+ membership so it was even better. No hall effect sensors but its for regular use

I’ve been very happy with this controller, it is a massive upgrade over the Xbox one controller and works very nicely with my ROG Ally.
I bought mine refurbished, and have had no issues with it. The battery life and condition are both excellent. I would recommend getting the paddles for the back from a third party, as it does improve the overall experience.

The Red Elite 2 controller is a game-changer in every sense. From the moment you hold it, you can feel the premium build quality and attention to detail. The customizable options allow for a tailored experience, whether you're a competitive gamer or just looking for more comfort and precision. The trigger stops and adjustable thumbsticks make gameplay smoother, while the additional paddles provide quick access to commands without missing a beat.
Battery life is solid, and the grip is comfortable even during long sessions. It’s clear that a lot of thought went into making this controller durable and reliable. If you're serious about your gaming, the Red Elite 2 is a worthy investment.

I love this controller. As an owner of an Elite 1 controller I can tell you this is a bug upgrade over that. The new design of the paddles.makes it so much easier to use because they are smaller and better places whereas with the elite 1 they were big and could easily be hit as well as feel awkward when gaming. I use this controller to play both on PC and Xbox series X. My only complaint is the nubs to set the trigger stop on each side fell off which is a weird thing to.have happen for such a high priced item. I primarily use this to play Call of Duty Warzone.
We're happy to hear you are enjoying your new controller! Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with us, we love the new paddle design too. For the Microsoft Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2, the manufacturer's warranty has been extended for an additional year.

The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 is one of the best feeling controllers I have ever used. The build quality overall is great, and modularity is a bonus. The options to wirelessly charge or using the USB-C cable is also great. Battery life has been awesome for how often I use the controller for PC gaming. This controller connects to your PC by either pairing via Bluetooth, direct connection using the included USB-C cable, or by purchasing a separate Microsoft USB dongle. I have not had any stick drift issues thus far, but I did purchase the extended warranty from Microsoft for $20. I bought this controller on sale which in my opinion is still expensive for what this is. If this was a controller at the $120 price, it would definitely be worth it.
Likes: Build quality, modularity, battery life; hard shell case, all the cables included
Dislikes: Poor Bluetooth connectivity
Oh, by the way: After connecting this controller to my newly built PC, it struggled to keep a wireless connection. This controller worked perfectly fine when directly connected. I downloaded all the drivers necessary and tried some other trouble shooting recommendations, but in the end, the Bluetooth on this controller just plain sucks. I went and purchased the Microsoft controller USB dongle and all my wireless connection issues were resolved with this controller. If you want wireless play via PC, the USB dongle is a much buy unfortunately.

This is Top notch controller on the market this purchase was actually my second one because I fell in love with the first .
Controller feel in the hand is 5/5
Customization is simple 5/5
Mapping and U.I simple user friendly 5/5
I’ve had other customizable controllers but they were to complicated to use every week there was a firmware update and the quality felt cheap .
The only downside is that this controller does NOT come with a wireless dongle . I’m still going to give the controller 5 stars but in the future XBOX / Microsoft please add the wire dongle in the box .
