Paddles are game changer
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this controller because I wanted to use the paddles. It took some getting use to but now I feel out of place using controllers that DONT have the paddles.

Great tough controller
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i have a team of expert reviewers (my three grandsons) who put this controller through an rigorous testing regime over the last few weeks. They all three said that it was great. The fact that it stood up to their nonstop and sometimes energetic playing means that it is durable as well as great.

By far my favorite controller
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its solid and works amazingly well on xbox and windows. If you are a mac user go for a ps4 controller. I had to have it repaired once the left joystick stopped working after it fell (short distance). But Microsoft got it all fixed up and back with very little issue ... best repair service experience I have ever had

Best controller, hands down
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Elite series 2 is the best controller I've ever owned, and getting the protection plan from Best Buy (I have total tech now, so it's included in every purchase at no extra cost) was a no brainer!

Elite all the way
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The elite controller is the only way to go. The triggers are worth it alone not to mention the weight of the elite. It’s a hefty controller.

Great controller
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.To begin inuse this for PC gaming only, i tried the PS5 edge controller and the xbox elite 2 by far is better for PC. Easier to sync up and most pc games use the xbox layout. It feels very durable and of good quality.

Amazing controller but...
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.less than 3 months after purchasing the left stick is already drifting. Other buttons are also starting to feel like they’re underperforming. Very surprised considering I try to be as gentle as possible while using it.
