    Love these controllers. The ability to set hot keys with the back toggles and preset up to 3 hot keys for different games/characters in games, comes in handy

    I love this controller. I typically play anywhere between 2 and 8+ hour’s a day and have been playing on multiple devices for over 20+ years. I can honestly say this is one of the best I’ve used…

    The Elite Series 2 wireless controller is one of the best controllers in my opinion I love using the paddles on the back and my favorite part about this controller is the hair trigger lock

    It is a great controller while it works. I bought one and the A button would not work so I traded it in. The 2nd one I got worked great for a while but then the right bumper started to not work

    These are decent controllers, but not worth the money at all. I’ve owned 2 now and both have issues. Buttons getting stuck and even stick drift. I take extremely good care of these and can’t believe they have these issues. I thought maybe I got unlucky on the first one I bought so after a year I bought another one. The new one now has issues and I don’t use either of my elite controllers and wouldn’t buy again.

    So far I am very happy with this purchase! All the buttons and triggers feel tight and responsive, stick control so far is flawless. my last controller lasted a little over 1 year until I got the drift so time will tell.

    Love this controller! I had the older model elite and after 3 yrs.it got stick drift so it was on to the new model. Feels amazing in your hands.Great control with additional trigger stop levels and smaller paddles in a little different location. The only thing I wish is that it came with more domed sticks.

    Great product for many reasons, but has issues

    This controller looks great, and feels great. Really nice premium product at a premium price from a fit and finish standpoint, but it seems to have quality issues. Many reviews have reported problems in many areas, and I found some of these problems right out of the box in the first unit that I bought. One of my paddle buttons was almost none responsive it only worked about 20% of the time. I had Bluetooth connectivity issues where I would randomly drop connection mid game, and this happened daily The sticks have a lot of looseness in them, but I think that may actually be apart of the design. However it is not great for performance Returned it and got a new one, and this one seems to be good. The sticks still have a lot of dead one in them , and it does drop Bluetooth signal just like the first one I had sometimes, but I’m starting to think this might be a total design flaw. Over all the design and build quality is great it looks and feels really good. But the issues with many different features is a problem. A premium product should not have these issues straight from the factory

    I was skeptical this would be a good as people said, but it was recommended so many times I took the plunge. Absolutely worth it. Feels very premium, and the controls are more responsive. The material makes it so my hands sweat less in longer sessions and even if they do I still have good grip. I use mostly with my pc, and whenever I use my xbox.
