    Bought this as a gift for a friend and they absolutely love it. Remappable back buttons, adjustable tension sticks, and you can cycle between full throw triggers and hair triggers. Its good value for the price.

    Excellent controller. Highly recommend. It goes on sale often and is worth the price. This is our second controller. We have had the other one for more than a year with no issues. It is responsive and versatile. The ability to remove the joysticks to clean is helpful, and charging the controller instead of constantly replacing batteries is a huge plus.

    I have for a long time been very displeased with XBOX controller that were manufactured by Microsoft. You ended up paying a premium price for a product that was anything but. They would malfunction after a marginal amount of time, and even physically break with little wear and tear. The Elite 2 is proving to be a step in the right direction. The premium build quality and vast amount of customizable features make for a very well made, and well conceived controller. USB-C or wireless charging by way of a docking station that is provided are great additions to improve the value. The down side is really the idea that it takes over $150 of a price tag for Microsoft o provide a quality controller option. But at least it's a pretty good one.

    Could be a great controller but...

    The controller is comfortable and bit heavy. Not over whelming heavy but feels substantial in the hands. The case and components are of good quality and allows for much customization. The main issue I had with the controller was the input and joy stick drifting. It feels as if there was something causing the A or B button to stick. It makes it unusable at time. Im sure if it were to be taken apart and cleaned, it would likely work fine but for a controller that retails at $180, you would hope these problems did not exist.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
