    Truly the greatest controller ever designed. Weighs 2 to 3 times more than the other controller but when it comes to things I handle yhey have to survive usage. This controller is durable, effective, has trigger locks and multiple button presses

    I think this control made back paddles mainstream and for that it has its place in history. But now there are better more reliable options on the market. If you don't need the back paddles the regular Xbox controller actually has lower (better) input latency than this controller. 7ms vs 14ms, defiantly makes a difference when playing anything online competitively. I would only buy this control for its comfort in hand factor and for playing single player games now days. Also lots and lots of QC issue with button actuation.

    Great controller with long lasting battery. You never have to worry about batteries with the long lasting lithium battery. Only lasted me about 6 months before one of the bumpers stopped working. Going to exchange it for a new one soon

    My son uses this for xbox and pc. It works great and he loves it. The paddles add extra customizable features that only this controller offers. It's expensive, but well worth the money.

    Ever since being able to afford one, I have always used these. The reason for the four-star is that I know in six-seven months I will need top use the warranty support for stick drift or a broken bumper. The reason why not three or lower, I have total rewards and BestBuy is good with replacement controllers.

    Yet another great gift for grandson! He has wanted to up grade his controller for months, so it became a Xmas gift. According to him, his game skills have improved with this quality controller. Shopped around several places, prices were all comparable to each other, but availability and delivery time was best at Best Buy.

    Always love these controllers sadly this is my third one over time the left thumb stick seems to never recenter completely it's not that noticeable until you're playing a game that requires precision and this is also the second controller where the right bumper also messed up and sometimes doesn't work.

    Overall great controller. I've been using it during long hours of gameplay and I don't find my hands getting fatigued. The buttons/paddles on the back are extremely useful and I find improve skill and performance. I would recommend this controller to anyone interested in competitive gaming and who wants comfort while gaming.

    Owned the first elite for almost 3 years before the LB button finally gave out, decided to upgrade to the elite 2. So far it feels like a durable controller but I also bought the extended warranty in case I have any issues with it down the road like the original elite.

    For the price its amazing. Especially if you already have spare paddles and joysticks highly recommend this over the 200+ elite controller. Also, in more colors than black? Say less!!!

    Excellet, but it disconnects randomly mid match a lot. Best Buy exchange is only 15 days for controllers. For a $200 controller, this is absurd. I could understand if it were a base controller, but come on. Having to make the claim with Microsoft :/ I never had this problem with the first series.

      Hi Ryan,

      We're sorry that there's an issue with disconnects with your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. Random disconnects can occur for multiple reasons, including low battery and competing wireless devices. We recommend troubleshooting the problem with Xbox Support here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,
