    Great controller and when combined with the 2yr protection plan its an incredible value. Worry free gaming for years and with a top notch game pad. I do wish they would have kept it the same size as the series one though as it is easy to bump LB RB buttons.

    This Microsoft Xbox one x elite series 2 is much better than the original. The buttons are smooth. The triggers/paddles are on point. And programming is easy. The controller feels great in my hands making it easy to play for hours without hand fatigue. Want a great Xbox one experience, buy this controller.

    Extra functionality does not compensate for bulk.

    The extra paddle functionality is a nice touch. Not the best in ergonomic design. It is a bit bulkier than what I prefer. A bit more stream lined design in the area of the finger-to-palm grip.

    Good controller but didn’t last long. My son gets a lot of wear and tear on controllers but I was hoping this higher end one would be more durable

    If you’re serious about shooters, you have to have a controller like this. Only issue is they wear down fast. Get the warranty

    I love this controller it is a bit pricey but worth it in the long run. This controller will improve the way you play games and has different profiles so you can change up the buttons for different game or different playing styles.

    This controller improves upon everything I love about the normal Xbox controllers. The tactile feel of the grips is great, the dpad circle works surprisingly well, and I love the trigger adjustment.

    I was deciding on this controller or a scuff. Ultimately this won out for the price and personal preference on the location of the back paddles. I bought this controller to play COD and make use of the hair triggers and back paddles. Best decision I’ve made in a controller.

    I love this controller but just after about a month of actual use, the right joystick has slight drifting.... for something as expensive as this I'd expect the controller to be tougher than this. Ive never experienced this with any of my other xbox one controllers.

    These controllers are awesome but the build quality is terrible. After a few months the grips are coming off again. Ive had a few of these and the same problem still remains.

    Huge upgrade from the standard controller. Feels substantial. Comes with extra sets. Y button seems to be a little particular but that is apparently a common complaint. Expensive, but xbox packaging and accessories make it feel worth the money

    I love this controller. It has definitely elevated my gaming to the next level in almost every aspect. The only reason I’m giving a 4/5 review is because the left thumbstick on the controller has malfunctioned after only 8 months of owning it.
