Swing and a miss for Xbox
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Straight out of the box controller had massive stick drift. Both thumb sticks have serious drift and has been an issue the entire time I have owned. Did not have this issue with previous gen. Had high hopes but unfortunately this controller is not a home run, single at best.

Pro controller is awesome
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.From the look to the field this is the whole package. It’s got the right weight the right balance and being able to adjust the tension on the triggers and the thums is awesome. I like that they came out with the white one however I would be great if there were more colors and patterns.

Best Controller ever
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I upgraded from my original elite controller to this one mainly because the grips on them were starting to fall apart. This controller is a bit heavier which in turn makes it feel nicer in your hands. This time around you won’t need a rechargeable battery pack as it’s all built into the controller and comes with a charging dock to lay on when not in use. My only concern with the controller is the fact that instead of having rubber grips on just the back side of the lower left/right controller like the previous model, it now has that rubberized grip texture on the front and the back. Although it feels great, I wonder how durable it will be. Hopefully they don’t start falling apart like the previous generation model. You may ask, is the controller worth it? If you’ll actually use it’s functions, swap out thumb sticks and would like full customization such as button mapping through the Xbox accessory app then I’d say, absolutely. I personally enjoy the feel, the trigger locks and customization options. I remapped my “Y” button to one of the four paddle triggers behind the controller which is super beneficial when playing certain games. My thumb can stay on a certain button on the front (X for example) while I can use another finger to control the paddle in the rear which I re-mapped to my “Y” button at the same time. You can also adjust tension to your thumb sticks which is a welcome addition as well. Overall, great product so far and definitely enjoy using it more than the standard controller. I highly recommend! Now, it’s up to you. Will you decide to get your hands on one of these?

Makes up for the mistakes of the 1st generation
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller has withstood my wrath thus far, only downside is if your motherboard is a certain age the USB Bluetooth adapter for Xbox controllers becomes necessary. Otherwise, if you're playing wired then you're good to go

Xbox Series 2 Controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Solid controller, works well. The replaceable thumb sticks are cool, but unfortunately this controller doesn’t come with the paddles, so you will have to buy them separately.

Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller: A Gamer’s Dream
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Xbox Elite Series 2 controller is legit. It’s super comfy, feels sturdy, and the customizable paddles and sticks are perfect for any game. The button mapping a snap, and the battery life is solid. Grips and trigger locks add nice control. A must-have for gamers who want to level up!

Still worth the hype
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the second Elite 2 we have purchased. Let me clarify, this is the second one in addition to one already in the household. After purchasing a series X several months ago, my wife got addicted to Fall Guys and a couple other games. One night after I was done playing, I forgot to move mine back to the computer and she started using it, then flat asked me why I bought the good one for myself and left her with the stock Xbox controller. Mind you that I already had one for over a year for PC use. So, after my positive time with one, I decided to get her one too. This controller is amazing and by far the most customizable "pro" controller software wise you can get. While some complain about button issues, I have never encountered this on any that weren't from a resin issue (I mod controllers on the side and this is the most common reason for issues. The resin mold sometimes has excess on it and leaves dust from usage, preventing a click from the A button, and LB/RB. A simple cleaning restores full functionality 99% of the time). Can't wait for the new one from MS coming soon.

Great Remote and Worth the Money
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The buttons are smooth and work great. The grip of the remote is comfortable for my small hands and my fiances big hands. I am excited to look at the interchangable parts.

A good controller with great software.
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall, the controller works well. The paddles and extra thumb sticks that are included are a nice plus. Setting the controller up is incredibly easy. The best feature is battery life. I have been using this controller for a year and even while playing 15-20 hours a week I’ll never have to charge it more than once a week. The controller can also be used wired while it’s charging, so you don’t even have down time between charges. The only reason for a 4 star rating versus a 5 is because of stick drift. After maybe 3 months of regular use, I started getting stuck drift in the right analog stick. It has a warranty, and Microsoft will fix it, but you have to send off the controller for who knows how long. For a $200 controller, stick drift should not be an issue. And if it happens outside of the warranty window, you’re stuck with it. Microsoft at the very least needs to sell new pots for the analog sticks that you can replace yourself. With that being said, you can counteract the stick drift by changing your dead zone settings. Overall I’m happy with my purchase and will probably buy another one whenever this one finally bites the dust.

Believe The Hype...Good & Bad
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you're looking to up your game, this controller is for you...but make sure to get extended warranty, or if you're a TotalTech member you're covered. This is my 2nd one, because the good outweighs the bad. OK, the good - it's comfortable, nice weight, very customizable, back paddles easy to use and reach, it's wireless, long lasting battery and great case that can charge, and braided cable the not so good - on my first Elite II the rubberized grips began to unpeel after less than a year, but worse than that, after about 1 1/2 years the RB button began to not work that being said, after about 6 months of not using it, I shopped around for a replacement, the closest competitor was the Thrustmaster Eswap, but it's a wired controller and has 2 buttons on the backside instead of paddles and that tipped the balance in favor of the Elite II I especially recommend this if you are a TotalTech member, you can get it for $159 and if you have any reward points you can get this for close to $120
