    Elite series 2 is the best controller I've ever owned, and getting the protection plan from Best Buy (I have total tech now, so it's included in every purchase at no extra cost) was a no brainer!

    Best Controller on the Market

    I cant stress how amazing this controller is. Ive owned Xbox since the OG and after getting a PS5, the Dualshock 5 was so good it left me wanting more on xbox. Boy did this controller deliver... The Quality is unmatched, from the rubberized grips to the metal swappable dpad and not to mention the suuuper satisfying magnet when you click in new Thumbsticks of all lengths, sizes, and feeling. The ability to press ABXY without lifting off the thumbstick(and adjust the resistance of said thumbsticks) is an absolute gamechanger(or any other button with the Mappable Paddles). It doesn't end there, i love the hair triggers on this controller. You have the full pull, like a standard controller, or a medium setting and my personal favorite, just a little tap. The piece de resistance is the case it comes with THAT HAS A BUILT IN DOCK AND W/ USB C PLUG BEHIND THE CASE. For those wondering if the money is worth it, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED

    Bought the controller as a refurbished product yet it still seemed brand new when I got it! Controller still has no issues after having it for roughly a year. No stick drift!

    The xbox elite series 2 controller is a lot more comfortable to hold then the original elite controller. The controller comes with it's own charging base and the controller has a built in rechargeable battery and bluetooth. It's an all around great controller.

    My husband plays video games a lot so the remote gets used and abused. The remote usually last him about 8 months until it starts to have issues. So GET the warranty. For some reason he loves this remote and will only buy this remote. I don’t play video games so I’m not sure how durable remotes are suppose to be, but he’s gone through a few of them. The warranty isn’t cheap but it’s cheaper than having to buy a new remote every so often.

    Love being able to customize and controls work well. Do not like that you have to buy additional package for paddles and customization. Returned one because of stick drift. This one has minor stick drift already. Works well with my Xbox Series X.
