Customers are delighted by the controller's exceptional overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. Users also frequently praise the device's comfortable grip, balanced weight, and high-quality tactile feel. However, some customers have expressed concerns regarding the durability of the buttons and bumpers, as well as the early onset of stick drift.

    Microsoft Elite series 2 one of the best!

    If you are a serious gamer than this is the Xbox controller for you! It is made with excellent quality! You can create game profiles that will allow you to move the buttons and actions when the game itself won't let you set your controls as you want them! And best of all it holds a charge for a very long time! I play for 4-6 hours and not a problem. Might use half of the battery!

    Necessary, but not a good value for money. The stock controller hurts my hands, the elite 2 hurts them less, but still hurts them. Xbox still hasn't designed a controller useable in fighting games, the A button and sometimes RB button don't always trigger. The sticks are gorgeous and the dpad is useable. Good build quality and premium feel, great battery life, great little charger and included case. i don't use the rear paddles. I literally got this because the stock controller is super loud, and it bothers me when I use my Xbox while trying to fall asleep. It's still loud, but significantly less loud. The rumble is too loud still thoe. To avoid hand pain, I use a brook wingman adapter with ps4 dual shock controller. For limited, but regular use as a remote for the xbox console, its good. If the buttons were more responsive (A button especially), and if my hands didn't hurt, it'd be a really good controller. I've had to return 3 or so, because the A + RB buttons not working most of the time. Missed inputs unheard of on Playstation controllers, so it's disappointing even the elite controller has this issue. Otherwise, there's a nice premium feel too it, charger and case are good. The grip could be improved, they kinda skimped there. It looks and feels better than it actually is, if that makes any sense.

    Been enjoying my Elite 2 controller. Love the weight behind it and the way the joy sticks and paddles feel. I also like being able to adjust the trigger distance when playing first person shooters.

    I had to buy this as a replacement for the regular Elite Series 2 controller. Unfortunately, that controller grips started to peel. As a stand alone product, I'd say this is a great controller, even though it's $130 with the additional $50 that the parts/add-on bundle will cost. It's a very responsive controller and, knock on wood, has stayed in pristine condition during the couple months I've had it. Like its sister controller, the customization available makes for enhanced gameplay and just adds that small fraction of time needed sometimes in FPS and RPG's.

    The Xbox controller is comfortable to hold, with responsive buttons and triggers that enhance gameplay. Its ergonomic design fits nicely in the hands, and the wireless connectivity provides flexibility during gaming sessions. The only issues ive found with the controller is that it gets stick dift within months of use.Overall, it's a solid choice for gamers and it fits the hands comfortably.

    Just like the original Elite Controller it is amazing with more! It's slightly lighter, it has more grip! The magnetic clamps are much stronger! It almost feels like I'm gonna break it but do not be afraid it is just stronger! I love it and I can't get enough of it!

    I literally don't think I could game without this controller anymore. I'm hooked and dependent. Bought it for the paddles to be able to keep my thumbs on the sticks for Call of Duty Warzone and it does exactly that. Takes a bit to come around to using the paddles. I only use the two small back paddles for jump and slide, my brain can't comprehend four of them lol. But honestly, so worth the money. I see people complain about the series 1 controllers and maybe even series 2, I've had zero problems. The additional thumbstick sizes, the standard d pad, charging dock, case, customizable setups, wireless aspect and just the weight/grips make this controller awesome. It's seriously so crucial.

    Its definitely a really good controller, but the joysticks tend to go out in about 1.5 years, and with the hefty price tag i would expect it to last longer. Getting the 2 year warranty is definitely a must and is really nice to get a brand new one and only having to pay $50 instead of $175

    You dont know what youre missing until you start playing with this controller. The paddles are a huge help for FPS games. The carry case, attachments, and charging docks are amazing add ons. The controller feels SO good and sturdy. The grips are amazing and great for holding on especially if you have sweaty hands.

    I think personally for me the only way to play any console games is on a controller like this, whether you play Xbox or PlayStation paddles have been such a game changer. As for this specific controller it has served me well and I think it is a solid choice without being too pricey.

    Has a certain weight and feel to it that makes gaming feel a little more immersive. It’s a little pricey but after playing on this for a few weeks it’s hard to go back to a regular controller .

    Battery life is incredible. Improvement over the original in almost every way. Held out as long as I could for a Series 3 because I wanted hall effect thumb sticks. Hopefully stick drift won't be an issue like it was for the first gen.

    Elite Series two but is it really better?

    Elite controls are miles ahead of the game. Elite two takes one step forward and two steps back. Grip in my opinion is better, it does 3 saved profiles instead of 2 and has a shift key feature. The paddles on the back are made out of metal and good luck breaking them. Three settings on your tiggers for more control firing. My problem, bumpers, I've had about 10 elites 2 and all of them have the same problem, the bumpers go out within 6 to 12 months.

    Love the feel and customizability of this controller. I can’t even pick up the stock controller anymore after having felt the quality of this one. Definitely a little expensive, but I think that overall it’s worth the price
