An engineering masterpiece for gaming
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've wanted an Elite controller for quite some time and when Microsoft announced this one, I was even further tempted. I decided to wait for a bit to see how well it reviewed before I decided to buy it if I was going to at all. I could write a very long and in depth review of this controller but I'll try to keep it brief. The very first time you grab this controller you know without a doubt that it's an extremely well-built device. Some players might not prefer this controller due to its weight because it's pretty heavy compared to most. I don't mind this personally, I prefer the weight. The variety of options on offer are great. There are several bits and pieces included allowing a player to situated the controller as desired and quickly make the swaps when changing games. The triggers have three positions and have haptic feedback. This is great when playing something like Forza because you can feel the resistance from the car when accelerating or braking. The back paddles can be remapped to any of the buttons on the controller and quickly swapped out or removed entirely. At any rate, most of these features are in the description but are some of my favorite aspects. I love the included case and charging dock, even more so since you can charge it while it's in the case. USB-C is greatly appreciated and should be the gold standard to which all devices are engineered now. The charging cable is long and very well made. The entire package is simply amazing. I purchased this to use with my gaming PC (do not currently own XBox One) and it's been a greatly welcomed addition. This leads me to the only potential sticking point for some. In order to remap the buttons, you need the XBox Accessories app for Windows 10. The app nice because it allows you to program up to three profiles for different button mappings that can be switched on the fly via the button in the center of the controller. However, as of the time I'm writing this, it doesn't allow for programming button combinations or macros. I've read that this will be later added to the app via a software update. Additionally, you can connect the controller via Bluetooth but unless you use the cable or the Xbox Wireless adapter, the app cannot detect the controller and you can't use the built-in headphone jack. This is pretty minor point since many will use the cable, may not use the headphone jack, or (like me) will purchase the wireless adapter. Buying the wireless adapter was an easy decision for me since it also allows for multiple controllers to be connected to the same PC, in addition to detecting the controller in the app and use of the headphone jack. So, yea, it's expensive, but uncompromisingly so. If the price point works for your budget and you're on the fence, rest assured you're going to get your money's worth should you decide to buy it.

Posted .Hey there,
Thank you for sharing your in-depth experience with your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. We're thrilled that you consider it to be an engineering masterpiece and that you're enjoying its many customization features. While it does support Bluetooth, investing in a Xbox wireless adapter is an excellent suggestion to take advantage of all its features on Windows 10 PC. We hope you continue to have a lot of fun with your Elite 2.
Happy gaming,
Chuck

Great buy
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great buy if you are replacing a older existing Elite series 2 controller and have the additional attachments. Works as expected. Love the feel. Would love it to be a little lighter as the Elite controller is one of the heaviest controllers on the market. Very responsive.

Absolute Elite
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my 5th Elite controller. They're very good for competitive players, but can easily use them for casual laid back gaming. Has plenty of customizations and sure is pretty to look at. I would recommend getting the Geeksquad Protection though, as the controllers tend to drift after a year of use.

Great price for an Elite Series Controller
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just bought the controller a few days ago and so far, so good. This controller targeted for users that previously owned an Elite Series 2 controller. They are basically selling you the controller without the paddles and case. So, if you start getting stick drift in your remote and can't no longer play without using an elite like me, this controller is for you. The quality of the remote is just a bit cheaper but for the price it can't be beat.

Perfect upgrade for an xbox controller.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Much better upgrade from the Elite Series 1, the adjustment to the sensitivity to the joysticks is a much better improvement in adding precision to the shooter genre, always missing all the time. love the battery quality (40 hrs tops) no need to be charging every 4-6 hours and can do my marathon gaming without fear of running out of battery.
