    Had the original and loved the customization. The 2 series has even more! I really like the 3 different trigger settings, for the pull. The tensioners on the joysticks as I have a heavy hand. Been using it for a bit and I really enjoy it! Haven’t had to charge it up yet so the battery life has been awesome! The price tag is my only complaint about it.

    These are easy to sync to the Xbox. Also, the controllers can be modified for sensativity, which helps my son in game controlling. The magnetic pieces are great because it makes the look of the controller customizable. Highly recommended!

    Super awesome controller, love the Dpad, controller is sturdy, grip is nice, triggers feel responsive, buttons click well. This controller doesn’t come with paddles so you’ll have to buy them on the side.

    Love it and hate it. Physically it's incredible looking and feeling -- just what you would want out of a $200 controller. Would give 5 stars, except that out of the box my A button was less responsive than X Y B, and my right trigger developed a crunching / squeaking noise... which is not cool for a $200 controller. Bestbuy product page states you are buying a Model:FST-00008 version of the controller, and yet I received a Model:FST-00001. So... not sure why that was either, and thus I have to give 3 stars. If you can get one without any issues, or you don't care about the issues I mentioned, then don't hesitate on buying one. Product received via shipping on January 30th, 2021.

    This isn't just a great controller; it's a game-changer. The moment I picked it up, I was impressed by how comfortable it felt in my hands—the ergonomics are spot-on, making even the longest gaming sessions feel effortless. The buttons are incredibly responsive, and the analog sticks offer pinpoint accuracy, which has already improved my reaction time in fast-paced games. Every input feels immediate and precise, giving me a level of control I didn't even know I was missing. Honestly, I'm kicking myself for not buying this sooner; it's completely transformed my gaming experience.

    The Xbox Elite Series 2 controller is legit. It’s super comfy, feels sturdy, and the customizable paddles and sticks are perfect for any game. The button mapping a snap, and the battery life is solid. Grips and trigger locks add nice control. A must-have for gamers who want to level up!

    Best controller I’ve ever owned. Unbelievable battery life, different analogs to swap out depending on preference and adjustable tension on the thumb sticks, as well as paddles in the back. No idea how this controller can ever be outdone.

    If you like tight sticks this controller is amazing it comes with tensioners but it still uses potentiometers so it is lacking in stick technology but they do feel great out of the box sometimes the Bluetooth can be a bit lacking and the bumper quality is a little lackluster but overall a great feeling controller especially if you like a heavy one.

    Once you purchase this amazing controller you will never be able to go back to standard. It feels incredible and having paddles is amazing for FPS games. The charge holds for what feels like days of non stop playing and do I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Yes it's expensive for a controller but if you are a serous gamer that plays daily this is a must buy!

    This is my very first controller. I can say nothing about other controllers. (Cuz I'm PC Gamer) But I'm really sure this Elite controller 2 feels so good in the hands and the battery life is Awesome. I played 8-13 hours every day for 4 days without charging. (for testing battery). I recommend Elite Controller Series 2 for PC (if you want more challenge) and of course for Xbox

    Love the controller but certain aspects don’t last long. I keep mine very clean and still end up with stick drift, sticky buttons, and bumpers that don’t work within 6 months.

    Lot's to be said: Quality is way better than the original, and the back panels are awesome. Yet you can only use the XYBA buttons with the back padels. If a PC player, you cannot have different controller profiles. Lastly and major: I have not had one controller last more than two years and I take care of my equipment. Usually, the joystick or the back top trigger becomes unresponsive. Also, of the 4 or 5 I have had at least one top button becomes lagged, usually "A". In the one I have now the right joystick does not click. No melee for me :(. Overall much a better controller than the original but if a gamer be prepared to have some hardware issues. Get warranty!

    The overall feel of the controller already makes it worth the purchase to me - but with the addition of the customizable paddles on the back make it to where I can’t go back now.
