Overall a good controller with back paddles. It is a plus if you are looking for added weight in comparison to the standard controller. The back paddles need some time to get used to. The most important feature to me is that the sticker click can be disabled.

I'm gonna preface by saying this is my 3rd Elite V2 controller. However, despite the fact that I've went through 3 of them so far, there's a reason I still purchase the same controller. First off, it feels very premium and has a nice weight to it. The ability to customize it with different control sticks and dpads is awesome, and I love the customizable right and left shoulder buttons - it's great for FPS games. In addition to the customizable sticks and dpad, there's also the Microsoft Accessory app that works on both Xbox and PC. It offers even more ways to customize and lets you remap pretty much any button (including the 4 paddles on the back) and change the color of the Xbox logo. The controller also comes with a premium case and charging cable, as well as different control sticks and a different dpad. You can also charge it while it's in its case. The controller is rechargeable and the battery life is more than reasonable in my opinion. Again, I have went through 3 of these controllers. One of the grips began peeling on my first one, and then my second one had issues with the left bumper not working. I'm on my third one now and so far I haven't ran into any issues, though I have been trying to take good care of it to avoid anything else from happening. With all that said, I would still recommend this controller for any gaming enthusiast or someone who just wants a more premium controller. I have tried many controllers and this one just seems to be the best, despite it not lasting me as long as I'd like. I hope there's a V3 coming soon because I will buy it immediately when it comes out.

I love this controller! I used to buy the regular xbox controller but the analog sticks would always get really bad stick drick within 2 months of owning it. I would have to keep getting new ones every 2 months. This controller has lasted me over a year before having to get a new one. (They usually go fast because I like competitive game's) So if you are a competitive gamer, I highly recommend this controller! Also the extra buttons are great to have. (Sold separately)

A solid controller for gaming, I like the interchangeable accessories and the charching station it comes with. It does lack some of the features from the new series x controllers but it is still a very good controller.

Store associate suggested I get a warranty with product , saying that these controllers have a known issue for drifting, I have not experienced that with this controller. I am however a casual gamer , but I know when a controller is working properly and this one does!!

Great quality and feels good in your hands... always been a playstation fanboy until i switched to pc and man the feel of the xbox elite controller is unbeatable

Same as all the elite controllers, great grip, feels great in the hands, nice and heavy. This controller doesn’t come with the bottom paddles but I had a another one that I was replacing with this one because my top right bumper broke so I used those paddles and installed on this new white one.

This controller is one of the best I have ever used. i mainly use it for pc gaming when i dont want to use my mouse and keyboard and it does the trick for me. And it is not as expensive as the black elite 2.

I finally gave up on my only elite 2 controller as the bumpers were becoming very unresponsive. I bought this controller sense I have all the elite 2 stuff from the other controller. My only complaint is that when I bought this controller the 3rd trigger stop on the left trigger made it unresponsive and I have read other places where people were having this issue. Instead of returning it which would’ve been a hassle, I took apart the controller and filed down the area where the trigger hits the trigger stop. After I got it fixed and put back together it works like intended and still is one of my favorite controller but I just the fact that I had to fix it myself when it can broken was kinda frustrating when I know plenty of people who wouldn’t even know how to fix it and just return it is annoying

What can I say. It’s a controller. I had my gen 1 for 7 years before it finally broke. My niece stepped on it and snapped the bumper. Cracked right in the middle, I knew it was time. With peeling material and broken bumpers. We upgraded. I’m glad I did. It feels great when playing some COD. Highly recommend. 10/10

Best controller sub $200. While Scuf controllers (among other brands) may have slightly better build quality, the price-to-quality is arguably better in the Elite 2 Controller. All the accessories are very well-built and the paddles are great.

The grip on the elite 2 is the best grip on a controller someone could ask for, the costumization is unlimited and very easy to set up and use. Obviously over time stick drift happens and one other down side is, the stick and buttons magnets seem to stop working as well, but overal best gaming controller i have used.

This controller has replaced my standard controller, and it is awesome! Heavy weight and solid in your hand, and so didn’t want all the extra levers and triggers, I just wanted it mainly for the built in rechargeable battery that last me 4-5 days easy playing 6-8 hours each day. Big step up from the older models of the elite, just seems solid and buttons are very responsive

Bought this for my husband for Christmas. I don’t know much about these things but he loves it. I tested it also and noticed the texture is like soft silicone plus the added weight from the steel material feels good in your hand. Easy to modify. Overall a great purchase !

Better build quality than the standard controller; heavier with more quality materials. Easy to sync with your Xbox or connect to a PC. Note that it's the Core controller so you need to already have/buy separately the accessories for the back buttons (I didn't realize that but had them on hand from a broken controller before).

Got it for my best friend. But I also have one and honestly there’s no going back after using one. Not just for the paddles but just the overall feel and attention to detail. It’s got a nice weight to it as well and I dig it.

This works perfectly. I upgraded to this because of the buttons on bottom. The only problem I have is... the buttons on bottom. They work so well that I keep them turned off so they don't get input from my handling the controller. It's good to know that they are there, should I decide to use them.

It's fine. Bought as a replacement for another Elite controller, which was also a replacement for an Elite controller. The previous two, the rubberized grips separated and the controller shell underneath broke apart. Both lasted about a year. If this one comes apart, I'll look at non-Microsoft brands.

Love the new controller! Has a better look and feel compared to the original and to not worry about batteries is always good.

I have had this controller for 4 years or so now. The RB button no longer works, i have to press down on it harder to work and this ruins gameplay. Also, the rubber grip started to wear off. There were too many buttons and accessories and for me it wasn’t worth $180. Smaller parts would eventually break. I don’t recommend for casual gamers, you are better of buying the cheaper controller for $60.
