    Better than the default controller!

    The Red Microsoft Elite Series 2 Controller serves as a budget-friendly alternative to the premium Elite Series 2 model. While it lacks the additional accessories included with the standard version, it features a plastic-coated body with rubberized grips, rather than the full rubberized texture found on the premium model. Despite these differences, this controller is a noticeable improvement over the standard Xbox controllers. For a slightly higher price, it offers an impressive battery life and the convenience of built-in recharging. If you're looking for an affordable entry point into the Elite Series 2 lineup, this is a solid option. However, I personally prefer the texture and included accessories of the default Elite Series 2 controller, as they provide a more premium and comfortable experience. Overall, I’d rate this model 4 stars: it’s a great step up from the basic Xbox controllers but falls short of the comfort and quality of the black Elite Series 2 controller.

    Got on sale and open box so decent deal, bumper went out and had the controller replaced under warranty with a new one about a year in, new one works great so far, not sure if it’s worth the extra money compared to the original pro but does a great job regardless

    You know one thing that I personally love? Its Simple, something that makes my life easier. And I can personally verify that this controller makes my life easier. Not too brag or anything, but ever since ive purchased this controller I have been untouchable in games. From fifa, to call of duty, I mean even fortnite. Im dishing it out all day with these sticks. Ive most definitely experience an improvement in my overall gaming experience since purchasing so would definitely recommend.

    Husband loved the color and elite controllers are so limited on colors, we were excited to get red.

    Love the way this thing feels in my hands. I don't use the extra buttons so it's nice how you can remove them. The thumbsticks feel nice too and you can swap them out for different ones.

    Works as expected. I love the color. I had my last Elite controller for 4 years no stick drift. Only replaced it because the grip started peeling off.

    If you aren’t rocking an elite Xbox controller; you’re not reaching your full capacity as a gamer. This enhances every aspect of how you game. Just accept it and buy it

    Out for all the Xbox controllers I've had in the past this remote has been known to last 2 or more years without having stick drift. The buttons do not get stuck or lag while playing online.
