Love it! Great feel, magnetic paddles are nice for customizing based on which game I’m playing

I purchased this controller to replace my Wolverine Chroma from Razer. The idea behind the swtich was the integration of this controller and with the NOW ability to map keyboard functions to it. This is a huge win for those who PC game and console game as well. The Razer Wolverine Chroma, a good controller for sure, has no plans to support that mapping feature, which became somewhat of a dealbreaker: Overall, the feel, ease of use , and the profile functions on the controller are top notch and will be sticking with this controller for a long time.

So far everything has been on par or better than the series one. great for use both on Xbox one and PC. Haven't personally tried the X,(I haven't been able to get one yet either. You're not alone!) but all the specs say it should work there too! Best part so far is the rubber wont fall off of this model. Unlike the series ones, as the whole case is rubberized. One note, be aware of the cords if you buy off brands later on. the controller itself needs a usb-c input. (The new rounded/oval shaped one.) It comes with all the cords you need though, so not something to worry about right away, but worth knowing that it's not the, used on everything, micro usb like the series one. But it's a better connection for newer machines. So it'll be better for the long run. Outside of fully moving the stick and button positions, (Like some of the wilder custom units.) you can personalize *literally* everything, and you have more variety of thumbstick styles and textures to match what you're actively playing, compared to the series one. It also just has a good feel. It's a simple thing, but it feels solid and well made.

This controller is amazing. Just simply allowing you to limit how much you have to lift your thumbs is a game changer

I have two of these. They feel like quality controllers

Remote felt very odd to me, the buttons felt sticky compared to the OG.. disappointed.

I bought this after having to Elite Series 2 controllers fail on me in less than 3 years and decided to try the cheaper Core version to save some money. It didn't go well. The right joystick was loose, and the cap not screwed on tightly and the stick spun freely. I was able to hand tighten it but didn't exactly feel confident at that point. I connected the controller and discovered the right stick was drifting badly out of the box, over 17% percent on input tester. Beyond that, the sticks just didn't feel nearly as good as a standard Elite Series 2, the right stick felt like it was grinding on the shell, not the smooth feel of the original, and the joysticks just overall felt cheaper. The whole controller just felt cheaper in general, and I decided not to pick up another one upon returning it. I'm just going for a cheaper controller at this point. I'm sick of having such bad build quality on $130+ controllers.

Best controller hands down! Definitely buy this if yous already have the og one to save some money! Same great premium feel and is cheaper than the new PlayStation one. I use this on pc and works perfectly.

Maybe I just got lucky but this is the first Elite Series 2 controller I've purchased without button issues right out of the box. After a few attempts to get a working controller through Microsoft's warranty program, I finally decided to just return the $179 version. I saw this $129 controller in store and decided to take one more stab at it, maybe they'd finally resolved their issues. At first glance -- it does appear to work way better than the $179 verison, and it still has all the comfortable heft that the previous controller has. The only downside is that this version doesn't come with the charging case and extra paddles/thumbsticks. On the upside, Microsoft lets you keep the paddles/thumbsticks from the mainline Series 2 controller when replacing under warranty, so I have plenty of those laying around! :D

Great until you start getting non-responsive bumpers or drift issues with thumb sticks.

good controller. they are a little pricy but worth it

I’ve had an elite controller in the past that had some issues (button sticking, mild stick drift even after adjustment). This one feels like they finally have it figured it out. I haven’t had any issues. I love being able to map buttons to the extra triggers and how responsive the controls are. Great for fast paced games (ARPGS, FPS, Battle Royales).

Amazing no complaints great atmosphere. Someone always willing to help.

I had the first elite controller for a long time and really liked the controller, but it had a tendency to break with the rubber coming off and stick drift. This controller is a direct improvement on the first one and is so good so far. The buttons and analog sticks are much more responsive and customizable. Perfect for FPS.

Great packaging. Everything works goods. I recommend it

Overall, I LOVE this controller, but I have three comments on it, one major: 1) Immediately upon purchasing it, the A button started sticking. I looked up the issue and this was somewhat common, but people said that it got better with wear over time. This was the case for me as well, so no more issues here 2) (the major one) At the shortest trigger pull setting, the right trigger squeaks SO LOUDLY, that others in the same party can often times hear it over my mic. It’s extremely annoying and I want to know if there is a way to fix this. 3) Not a huge deal, but the controller has an unnoticeable offset in the grips. This is only apparent when set on a flat surface. The controller will rock maybe 0.3-1.0mm. This may be the cause of that trigger squeak, though that is just a theory. These three negative comments aside, this controller is EXCELLENT. The grips are actually extremely durable and the surface stays pretty clean, with no real marring or scratches. Overall, I love this controller.

Been a great purchase so far Ive has it a couple months now the exchangeable sticks are great for different types of games and the triggers give you just a little edge on everone else

Amazing controller, wish yall carried the under paddles though.

Battery life is incredible. Improvement over the original in almost every way. Held out as long as I could for a Series 3 because I wanted hall effect thumb sticks. Hopefully stick drift won't be an issue like it was for the first gen.

One of the best controllers to use. I have it for Xbox and Ps5
