Good control for the price live the grip on the controller

Bought as a gift for my spouse. He was very happy with it. He likes that you can change out the buttons and pads to completely customize the controller.

This controller is amazing. Just simply allowing you to limit how much you have to lift your thumbs is a game changer

Long battery life than PS controller. Quick charging.

nice solid build, so far so good The Microsoft Elite Series 2 Controller is a premium gaming controller that offers a variety of features to enhance your gaming experience. With customizable buttons, adjustable thumbstick tension, and swappable D-pads, this controller allows you to tailor it to your preferences. The controller also has durable build quality and a rechargeable battery for convenience. Overall, the Microsoft Elite Series 2 Controller is a great choice for gamers looking for a high-quality, customizable controller.

Though a little on the pricey end, i love my elite series controller. The build and quality of the controller is perfect and it’s definitely the best looking and especially best feeling controller I’ve probably ever used. Would recommend to anyone willing to splurge for the best quality you can buy. Definitely do research on if you’re willing to deal with the problems the controller may get over time, mostly just bumpers being unresponsive for some reason. That is the only downside and I wish a newer model would address this problem in the future or else it would really really be a perfect controller.

Fully customizable within windows set dead zones color for the xbox button. Configure trigger as a one touch so it acts like a mouse click as soon as they are pressed or make them better for a throttle.

Glad I decided on this one. It has exceeded my expectations.

Love it! Great feel, magnetic paddles are nice for customizing based on which game I’m playing

For an OEM controller, its great. Durability and longevity really depends on your use. Make sure to get the 2 year extended warranty from Microsoft only. You can buy paddles for cheaper third party

By far the best controller on the market. Battery life is amazing and the grip is perfect.

Best control in my opinion. Love the added triggers on the back of the remote and being able to customize all buttons is really helpful and useful.

Great until you start getting non-responsive bumpers or drift issues with thumb sticks.

My personal opinion is this is as good as it get unless you dish out the 250 for the scuf instinct ....

Great controller all around - grippy texture, mappable buttons and paddles - and I always like using the long thumb stick on the left side and shorter one on the right

Definitely worth the upgrade if you are playing FPS titles. Quality is top tier, however the grips are still not the best. Microsoft should take a look at using similar material that is used on the Scuff controllers.

I had two original Elite Controllers. I enjoyed the feel and the features but had quite a few issues with the bumpers on my first one and the second one I had started having issues with the left stick drifting a lot. Since I had the warranty plan I brought it back and upgraded to the Series 2, It feels like they upgraded the shape and it feels better than the one. The grips also feel better and seem like they have less chance of peeling off as it did with my first Elite. The shape and placement of the top paddles feel better. My favorite new feature is the extra setting on the triggers. Great for FPS and other games where it's nice to just have a quick click rather than a long pull. I also recommend the Best Buy warranty with a controller this expensive. Sure it's more expensive on an already expensive controller but paying the extra money now is worth it to be able to upgrade to a new controller down the road if needed.

I like it a lot, but I feel like it was overpriced, even though it's being sold as a premium product. I really like the extra buttons on the back, and the fact that you can reprogram all the buttons. The extra long thumb stick is nice for extra precision. It feels good in the hands. It's heavier than the stock controllers, but not so much that it gets tiring to hold. The adjustable trigger travel distance is cool for shooters where you have to react quickly. The rubberized hand grips feel nice and keep my hands relatively cool. It comes with a nice zippered travel case with a built-in charging dock that can be used while it's in the case, or it can be removed from the case and used separately to charge the controller. I don't plan to take this anywhere, but I keep it in the case, next to my TV. I leave it closed, but unzipped, so it's still easy to access, but it keeps it from getting dust on it (I don't get time to play as often as I would like) Overall, if you play a lot of Xbox, it's probably a worthwhile investment.

Improved game play with back buttons/paddles. works great

Wouldn’t use another controller! Highly recommend to any Xbox players
