The Microsoft Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller for Xbox is an exceptional piece of gaming hardware that stands out for its customizable features and superior performance. With adjustable tension thumbsticks, shorter hair trigger locks, and a wrap-around rubberized grip, this controller offers enhanced precision and control. The rechargeable battery ensures up to 40 hours of gameplay, and the swappable components allow for a personalized gaming experience tailored to your style. Bluetooth connectivity and a durable carrying case add to its versatility, making it a worthwhile investment for serious gamers seeking a competitive edge.

The back paddles make it easy to play without moving your fingers off the sticks, the adjustable triggers feel great, and the battery lasts a really long time.

Super solid controller. Built well and has a good, quality, weighty feel to the controller. The accessories that come with it are great, as I love a more traditional D-Pad style instead of the default circle D-pad. My only minor complaint is sometimes the buttons can seem a bit mushy, but nothing that causes a lower star count. Reccomend this!

I love this controller. As an owner of an Elite 1 controller I can tell you this is a bug upgrade over that. The new design of the paddles.makes it so much easier to use because they are smaller and better places whereas with the elite 1 they were big and could easily be hit as well as feel awkward when gaming. I use this controller to play both on PC and Xbox series X. My only complaint is the nubs to set the trigger stop on each side fell off which is a weird thing to.have happen for such a high priced item. I primarily use this to play Call of Duty Warzone.

The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 is one of the best feeling controllers I have ever used. The build quality overall is great, and modularity is a bonus. The options to wirelessly charge or using the USB-C cable is also great. Battery life has been awesome for how often I use the controller for PC gaming. This controller connects to your PC by either pairing via Bluetooth, direct connection using the included USB-C cable, or by purchasing a separate Microsoft USB dongle. I have not had any stick drift issues thus far, but I did purchase the extended warranty from Microsoft for $20. I bought this controller on sale which in my opinion is still expensive for what this is. If this was a controller at the $120 price, it would definitely be worth it.
Likes: Build quality, modularity, battery life; hard shell case, all the cables included
Dislikes: Poor Bluetooth connectivity
Oh, by the way: After connecting this controller to my newly built PC, it struggled to keep a wireless connection. This controller worked perfectly fine when directly connected. I downloaded all the drivers necessary and tried some other trouble shooting recommendations, but in the end, the Bluetooth on this controller just plain sucks. I went and purchased the Microsoft controller USB dongle and all my wireless connection issues were resolved with this controller. If you want wireless play via PC, the USB dongle is a much buy unfortunately.

Best elite controller I ever owned. I ordered this for my laptop. I hooked it up on my laptop and configured the setting on steam. It works very well. I am satisfied with this controller!

Plays well, the paddles work and is a good replacement for when your original Xbox Elite Series 2 controller starts to get old. However, the bumpers of the controller seem unresponsive sometimes and may require you to press harder on them.

Very sturdy and robust controller, a long lasting controller as well,l have had another one for over a year and only within the last month did it start getting stick drift and that's me using it everyday for long periods. Highly recommend this controller to those who are serious about their gaming and that want a controller that's long lasting.

This controller is the next level in your gaming. You need look no further. Don’t get a scuff, don’t use a regular controller with popsicle sticks; invest in the series 2 elite controller. It’s customizable presets via the Xbox accessories app on the console, the adjustable tension in the joysticks, triggers, d-pad, and the alternate joysticks alongside the heavy and metal feel make this controller like no other. It is worth every cent.

So far this controller great from the multiple thumb sticks changing to the extra paddles. This controller is perfect for playing any first person shooter. I have connected this controller to my xbox series X, laptop, Smart tv (Samsung) and my phone and it works flawless with no issues. This is my go to controller all the time with multiple profiles i can set to for my games. The bulid of materials is great fits great in my hands. Go to elite series 2 on YouTube to find out more what you can do with the controller. That is what i did
