Awesome Xbox controller unfortunately, I’m glad I got the geek squad warranty. One of my buttons was not properly working and I took it in for an exchange hassle free I would’ve gave you a five star review of this on me

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.

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.

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.
We're happy to hear you are enjoying your new controller! Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with us, we love the new paddle design too. For the Microsoft Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2, the manufacturer's warranty has been extended for an additional year.

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.

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

It is a well made controller, a bit pricey compared to other controllers I’ve had, mine did come with a slight problem w the buttons but that’s fine for me, but I do suggest paying for the geek squad protection plan in any case you’re given a faulty controller, but in my own experience, I like this controller a lot, especially because of the pads on the back of the controller

This controller has become my instant favorite.
I have had many controllers over the years from Atari clear through to modern systems, and have preferred my Nintendo Switch Pro controller until now with my Xbox One controller being a distant second.
I personally did not like the system included series x controller because of the dpad but this product has the ability to change dpads with ease and remedied that issue.
The analog resistance features for the bumpers and thumb-sticks have been excellent between titles. The additional software type adjustments is phenomal once calibrated. It also lets a user save between different profiles for quick load. Throw in an adjustable color profile for the controllers backlight on the home button and it can be easy to quickly distinguish which profile is being used (outside the normal profile light indicator).
The battery life is on par or better than the Nintendo Switch Pro controller and is leaps and bounds away from the recharchable package for the Xbox one.

I’ve tried other controllers and I always come back to the Xbox elite. Im gaming on pc and if your doing the same you can buy a dongle and it’s definitely worth it as the input latency is even lower.

The Xbox Elite Series 2 controller sets a new standard for premium gaming peripherals. Its build quality is exceptional, featuring a robust construction that feels both durable and comfortable in hand. The customization options are unparalleled, with swappable thumbsticks, paddles, and D-pad, allowing users to tailor the controller to their unique preferences.
The addition of adjustable tension thumbsticks and hair-trigger locks enhances precision and responsiveness, crucial for competitive gaming. The rechargeable battery and the included charging dock ensure you stay powered up without interruptions. The controller's Bluetooth connectivity expands its usability beyond Xbox, making it a versatile choice for PC gaming.
While it comes with a higher price tag, the Elite Series 2's performance, durability, and customization options make it a worthwhile investment for serious gamers seeking the best in class. I highly recommend this controller!

First one I bought had an issue with one of the paddle buttons. For something that costs this much they should have better quality control but took it back to best buy and replaced it the same day. Second unit was perfect. I had the series 1 before and this one feels even more solid than that one but between the two the newer one has smaller paddles which I wasnt too big a fan of. Luckily I could swap in my old paddles and now its great. Also a huge fan of the customizable home button colors and the resistance settings for the thumbsticks are also a nice touch compared to the previous version. I wanted to hold off until they came out with the series 3 but Im honestly glad I got this because I cant imagine what more they could do to improve upon this one besides adding gimmicky features. This is the ultimate controller and Im super happy with it.
