    Awesome controller! You can adjust the sensitivity on thumbsticks and makes it so much more responsive. I still think its too expensive but its a great controller. Solid! Good quality

    Amazing controller for a competitive edge. Very responsive quick triggers and the paddles work great The case doubles as a charger which I love. Keeps everything looking sharp when I’m finishing gaming.

    Lol so bought this controller less then 6 months ago and it started breaking with in three. I'm not especially hard on my equipment but dang for 200$ you would think it would last longer then normal 60$ controllers which have a shelf life of like at least a year. Buttons started getting harder to us like RB and Left Thumbstick Click. Nothing Best Buy will do if you don't pay more then you already are for a freaking elite 2 controller which is kinda dumb. Microsoft only has a 90 day warrenty on them which from what I've read is about when they have the most problems right after that. Cool. Next time I'll just punch myself in the face and give a stranger 260$ (60 for geek sqaud!) Great controller I guess, if it actually worked that is.

    Great so far, have only had it for about a month. I use it to play PC games, the plug and play is always simple for xbox controllers and this one is no different. I like the paddle buttons very much. Battery life seems fantastic so far, and the case is awesome.

    Incredible controller. On the small size, but before long you will not even notice it. It feels great in your hand, and always works perfectly. Easily the best controller I have ever owned. Is it a lot of money? Yes, but it is worth spending the extra cash on it

    [Employee of bestbuy] I love the color of the remote I the the sleek design really complements the white, however the fact that these remotes get stick drift really irritates me

    This is an awesome controller with the perfect mapping and paddle locations. It’s easy to use and depending on how you hold your controller you can map the keys exactly how you want them. Definitely recommend for Xbox and pc players if they want an easy to map customizable setup. Definitely a bit expensive but after using it for a bit I think it slowly becomes worth it.

    It’s amazing been using it for a couple of days and i love it, but if you are a casual gamer honestly I would say dont get it, I play casually maybe three times a week, and even thought it feels nice in hand, it doesn’t really do much of a difference than my regular xbox controller,.

    Great set of sticks and remapping is awesome. Have had a few of the elites over the years and the only downside is one of the bumpers is almost guaranteed to start going around the 15+ months mark.

    Love this controller if you want to step your game up than make sure you get one of these and dont forget your warranty so if it brakes you can get a new one and a new warranty for a quarter of the price

    Pretty displeased. I bought this on January 2024. Couple years back I bought the Elite series black controller and it started going out so I figured I give this one a shot since it was cheaper. First and foremost it does NOT have all the additional buttons that the other controller has. Moreover, within a month of owning this controlle. For a $130 controller I expect something thats going to last abit longer than 2 months. Overall, get the black Elite. Not this hunk of junk.

    It's a great design, but for the price it should've lasted way longer. With simple use, nothing out of the ordinary, it lasted for about a year. The rubber sides started peeling away and it also began having stick drift. I wouldn't recommend spending this much on a controller that won't give you much in return.

    Its a great controller, feels good in your hands. Long battery life, a great many accessories. But I don't feel $180 price tag warrants. This should sell for what rival controllers go for or cheaper $125-150. Could use a little more quality components to hit that $180 mark.

    Feels great, looks great. Easily the worst controller I've ever used. If it was $20 I would be irritated, but $200? Buttons don't work, stick drift, and rubber grips WILL peel off over time. It really is shocking they are still selling this.

    I love these controllers for the Xbox. My wife bought me one and it's been great to use. Awesome battery life. Can pair with laptop and phone too. Charges relatively quick. Comes with a case and extra accessories. Can change the color on the app.
