    What can you say about it, if you play on pc or console then you already know this is by far one of the best controllers to get. I would recommend this to anyone, but it's only fault is the dreaded stick drift. It may happen in a few weeks or years but it does happen. Once they add magnetic sticks, this will be the perfect controller but till then its nearly perfect.

    Xbox knows these elite controllers will break easily so instead of fixing the overall issue they make a controller that doesn’t come with a case or extra buttons. Its their way to cheap out and make the consumer pay more and more for their mistakes. Works fine but be warned once you use these its hard to not and you’re stuck buying expensice controllers.

    After months and months of hearing about it from my friend I finally gave it a try and I must say this it is really really great controller. I play a lot with this now on my PC. The build quality is truly top notch.

    Love all the features of this controller, feels solid and of good quality. Some people complain about the weight but it makes it feel premium to me. I suggest get the the geek squad protection since I feel like no controller is safe from the eventual stick drift or a button messing up.

    I bought this controller wanting to use the paddles in the back, but the controller offers way more. The durability of this controller compared to the regular ones is a good enough reason to buy this! It feels sturdy and nice while playing and you also have the ability to alter your button mapping. This can also be used with other systems, not just the Xbox.

    When you pick up this controller quality is the first thing you feel. You know this is what you paid for. The heaviness, the quality, the perfect textured grip shows the Xbox took this controller to the next level. Even better than the first generation of this controller. Then to top it off, you can add custom button mapping to Each button even change the color of the Xbox logo. Everything from customization to mapping is just a nice touch.

    Best upgrade from the original Elite

    Compared to the original Elite controller this one is by far an amazing upgrade. Having the ability to adjust the tension on the thumbsticks is great for dialing in the accuracy for FPS games, the extra middle trigger stop is awesome if you're not wanting to go all the way to the short stop for other games as well, and the adjusted paddles on the back are much better without having to worry about accidentally hitting them while playing. The built in rechargeable battery is a step above the play and charge kit battery. I have definitely noticed a significant increase in play time before needing to charge it. If you're on the fence whether to keep your original Elite over this one then you're missing out. The Elite 2 is definitely worth the money for the upgrade.

    Was kind of worried that I would get one with issues but I didn't. Every button works. No drift. But, you better tack on the 50 bucks for the warranty.

    Low-great, high-good

    Every button has an authoritative, reassuring press, but lowering to 4 stars because it's not quite as durable as you'd think. The vibration motors have begun rattling the chassis juuuust enough to where it's noticeable, and the rubber, textured grip has come loose up near the shoulder buttons. While in a different league entirely to the base controller, the Elite 2 is truly great... for ~8 months. Low-great, high-good thereafter.

    Best controller released by Microsoft

    This controller is just amazing. I was skeptical to order based on cost but I would recommend it with ease after using it. The controller just feels much more premium and solid compared to the Original Elite. The customzations are better, the grips are better, the triggers are a pleasure. Even the Xbox Home button has been upgraded and is sturdy and not "Squishy". Within a few minutes of customizing I noticed an immediate different in my MW abilities. I didnt expect to notice any real difference, but it was there!!! The charging base is also a huge blessing. I was excited to see it was USB-C as it was the biggest thing I hated about the xbox controllers of past (micro USB is terrible), however the dock has made that moot anyway!! Also unlike the cable, putting it on the dock charges it without turning the xbox back on

    Xbox Elite 2 with the Xbox Series X honest review

    This controller offers everything you need for the Xbox Series X. This is an official Microsoft controller so you don't have to worry about it getting blocked from the console. I have purchased other Xbox Series X controllers and the build quality is quite different. You can feel the weight of this controller and tell it is not a 3rd party plastic knockoff. I highly recommend this controller.
