Excellent controller, when it works.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second elite 2 controller. The first one just quit working. Hit the xbox button and nothing..I had it about 7ish months. I always buy from Bestbuy and it cost me 40 to get this second one. When you buy their insurance and replace an item, you pay for the insurance on the product. Needless to say this one gas been going good for a little over a month. I love having the paddles on the back. I set them up so I don't have to push buttons. Also really like having the ability to make the right and left triggers have a shorter squeeze. Some games I like a longer squeeze and others short. Overall I would definitely give the controller a 5 star, however the first one has me gun shy. 4 star is it this go round. Definitely recommend, and recommend Bestbuy insurance.

Pretty sweet looking.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It looked pretty on the shelf, so I bought it. I don't play the xbox that I have, but very occasionally someone does. So, eventually, this controller will get removed from the box and used. Maybe.

Almost Perfect
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly one of the best controllers you can get! This is my third one and I learned the hard way to get a protection plan on these contollers. The same issue has happened in the past with serious stick drift and bumper issues (not registering/double registering) developing. If you’re buying through best buy consider the geek squad coverage but also definitely look into getting it with microsoft complete from the microsoft store!

Solid Controller
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love how you can Customize your buttons to the back paddles easily through the app and plenty of joysticks and able to tighten the joysticks and accessories to find the one you like. Did get stick drift relatively fast but I do use it a lot.

Even more Elite than before
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Having complete control is gaming makes everything much more enjoyable and that is what the Xbox Elite 2 controller provides. The most important feature for me was the thumbstick tensioning. I increased it fully and it had an immediate effect in playing First Person Shooters. The control is much more precise and the stick drifting is gone. Add in the full wrap around grips and a more solid and compact feel, this controller fits perfectly in my hands. All the customizable features can help make your favorite games play even more fun! I got my money out of the XE1 controller, I know I'll get it out of this one as well!

In the Game
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you want to be in the game, then the elite series 2 controller is for you. I did have the black one and the rubber is coming off it. I had it for 3 years with moderate game play. So, I picked up the blue one for a very reasonable price. Once you go elite, I doubt if you ever go back to other controllers. If you can, get one and get it on sale.

Great upgrade for casual and competitive alike
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So much nicer than stock controller. Custom profiles are a game changer. Takes some getting used to utilizing the paddles but they come in handy in shooters and from software games (dodge roll, jump, heal). All of the materials and options are very nice to have. I recommend buying the service plan as many reports online state the controller can become faulty.

Great Buy
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent controller. Feels sturdy and satisfying in the hands. The customization options are really nice, with obvious design choices aimed at different genres of gaming. The adjustable triggers feel solid in all settings and treating them like a button is satisfying in both fps and RPGs. The case is, I'll just say it, really cool- the charge block is magnetized to the zipper pouch and it's a really aesthetic setup. Plus there's more than enough extras here to support getting a second controller in the much cheaper core series.

Satisfied so far I like new features no drift..yet
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really like all the new added features. New grips feel great controller as a whole feels fantastic. LT & RT Have new lil grip textures feel pretty good nice lil addition. The new thumb sticks are better than the old ones, but my only complaint though is it only comes with one tall thumb stick. Also wanna mention the tightening of the thumb sticks is really cool. Having 3 controller profiles for different games over the old 2 nice addition too. The carrying case with the ability to charge while in the case is very awesome it can also be charged outside case with a lil stand like thing (doesn’t need the lil stand) it can still charge and play like v1 even though not too happy with the battery being internal not removable on v2. Very nice to have such a long usb c wired cord too. Came with 14 day ultimate game pass (Minecraft Dungeons just came out on gamepass :) overall very satisfied with purchase!

Xbox: 10 - Playstation: 0
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love this controller, it elevates my FPS play style to new heights especially with popular titles like Apex Legends. If you play it, you know what im talking about. Im talking near perfect beams, key mechanics easier to execute due to the back pedals (B-Hopping), and ease of customization not only through physical changes, but the plethora of software changes that literally adjust the way you aim and shoot. Im not a pro gamer, by any stretch, but since I've had this controller. I went from 1-2 kill games to 5-10 kill games. Im a warzone player too, beams go both ways my friend. Sony what are yall doing? Where are yall native pro controllers?
