Great controller! A must have for every gamer! Microsoft did it!

Its my first elite controller and I would say its worth every bit of the price, if it's your first elite controller. If you have a gen 1 elite controller, i would just stick with that, unless you want upgrade. If you're using it for pc, like I am, I recommend getting the Microsoft USB wireless controller adapter. Even though the elite gen 2 has Bluetooth it didn't like staying connected to my pc for more then 15 to 20 minutes, which this isn't too bad because the adapter is only like 25 bucks, but some people may have better luck with it then me.

Excellent controller! Can feel the quality that went into the product. Much better fit to the hand vs the original control from an Xbox one. Best Buy did an amazing job at answering all of my questions did so with a positive attitude and huge smile. Kudos to Microsoft for the remote design and Best Buy for thir amazing service!

I use a Scuf Reflex PS5 controller for a lot of my gaming that has rear paddle buttons. Some of the games launched on my PC through the XBox app don't play nicely with that controller so I thought I would pick up an equivalent XBox controller. Much to my dismay there aren't any rear paddles on this "elite" controller!!!!! I never would have even thought to check if that's something an "elite" controller came with or not...the PlayStation equivalent includes them. Disappointed that XBox/Microsoft would even have this as an option and wouldn't explicitly call out that there are no paddles on this "elite" controller. But I do have spaces where paddles are supposed to go that I can look at I guess. Not sure what the point of this controller is compared to the standard XBox controller.

Microsoft Elite Series 2 Wireless controller for Xbox Series X is an awesome upgrade to your system

way better than the normal controllers highly recommened

Customize your gaming style. This controller can do it all. Very comfortable in your hand and aim assist.

Great controller love the customization of the sticks, Dpad, and the triggers. Very premium feel as well as it feeling very sturdy. Connectivity is great as well with bluetooth. Price is a bit high for a controller honestly though.

Fully customizeable thisnis the best bang for your buck honestycant complain but its alot heavier than i though

fantastic. i love playing elden ring with this and brawlhalla. the paddles really help to accidentally jolt off a cliff with torrent and screw up my combos and such. i'm sure it'll have some use to it. really like the option to change the trigger pull. i keep it real short for easy spamming. setup was kind of difficult. i had to download these sketcy programs and update it. idk. once it started to properly work it was good

This is my second time purchasing this, however my first time was years ago so my original did last me years! This is a great controller and it is pc compatible

Great controller. Paddles are easy to hit and have enough of a gap avoiding miss hits. Lots of fine tuning (hardware and software) I was not expecting. This is my go to. I wish it had a capture button. The work around I found is to set a custom capture button on a different profile. The controller allows for you to cycle through profiles very easily. It also has a great battery life.

I have always preferred the Xbox controller over the Playstation controller, especially because I play a lot of FPS games, but in general it feels better to me. Elite version is heavier, has rubberized grip, and the build of the controller feels premium (as it should for the cost). With all the accessories and adjustments (various thumb sticks, d-pads, paddles, and adjustable triggers), you can make the controller as custom, as needed. It has been my best controller ever purchased and worth the amount I paid. Get that Geek Squad protection, just in case! ;) Buy it and have fun!

Never thought I would spend so much on a controller, but after seeing all the great reviews on it I decided to give it a try. Besides being lightweight and comfortable to hold, it comes with a case and charger (and btw the battery lasts a long time). On top of that you can customize the sticks, the d-pad, the resistance on the triggers, and program the back paddles. The great thing is it will hold a default mapping as well as three other mappings that you can set yourself and switch between with the push of a button. Didn't think I needed it, and probably don't, but I love having it.

Amazing. Any gamer would love this remote!!!!!!!!!

Purchased this controller and had to return it due to the left trigger not working right out of the box. This was pretty inconvenient because I live pretty far from Best Buy. Once I exchanged this controller, the new one has been flawless.

Really nice hand feel and button response. The paddles are smaller than the first elite controller, accidental pushes are less but they’re almost too small. The paddles from the first elite I seem to be compatible, but I had issues with what would be the B paddle not consistently working, so you could mix and match. The rechargeable battery is a nice addition and the 3 position triggers are really nice.

I’m not saying it’ll make your KD positive in call of duty, but it’ll make more fun

Love the controller and the feel and playability of it

The best controller I have ever played with. Regular controllers can’t compare
