    I have owned 3 elite controllers previous to this and all had very similar issues so I was definitely skeptical. I’ve now had it a couple months and I can’t stop raving about it! The improved buttons and hair triggers are very convenient and the quality of the grips has clearly been brought up! But the best feature is the internal battery! I’ve had to charge it only twice! No more batteries and endless hours of gameplay! Best controller I’ve ever owned period.

    The Elite Series 2 is an amazing controller. The adjustment and customization lets you dial in the controller for each game and your personal play style.

    I had a hard time believing that a controller could possibly be worth what is charged for the elite. After having several friends insist on trying it out I took the leap. I liked it so much I got a second as a Christmas gift for a family member. It feels great in the hands. Is very responsive. Honestly this should be the standard controller. The regular ones feel like a joke after this.

    Excellent quality and product. I adore the red color. My only complaint is the fragility of the sticks, but my geek squad protection makes me feel better about it.

    I purchased this item as a replacement for the Elite Series 2 Controller that suffered from sever stick drift. Since I was past the warranty period I figured why not? Great feel and weight. Definitely worth the purchase. I was able to use the paddles and charging case from the Original Elite Series 2 controller.

    I have never used any other controller other than the standard ones so I didn't know what to expect. I saw it on display and wanted it but it wasn't available at the time so I had to wait and order it and it was worth the wait. A little pricey but it's expected with how neat the controller is. I'm still getting used to the extra buttons. I also like the feeling of it and how my hands have a better grip of the controller.

    I absolutely love the Elite controllers and they are well worth the price. The red looks awesome and its very comfortable. Do be warned that it doesn't come with paddles so you either have to buy an accessories pack either from Xbox or aftermarket.

    This is by far the best controller I've ever used. It's built really well and feels good in my hands. Having the trigger settings and removable buttons as well as 3 on the fly programmed settings takes this controller over the top. The price tag will make you consider not buying but after pulling the trigger I couldn't be happier with my purchase. The 40 hour built in battery and charging dock are another added bonus to this nifty controller. Highly recommend.

    It’s amazing quality with all the bells and whistles, but probably not good enough to warrant an almost TWO HUNDRED dollar price tag. You will feel buyers remorse for awhile, but very good quality - it’s Xbox’s best controller ever made, period.
