    The Elite series 1 was great... and then this one came out and is so much better. I'll never go back to a regular xbox controller. Even the Xbox light is customizable to any color. The charging dock is awesome too!

    I want to love this controller but can’t. I had to sell it. I had issues with 2 controllers so far. Never had any issues with gen 1. Gen 2 issues: - Random disconnects - Double press on buttons I would still recommend it since it’s a great upgrade form the original controller

    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.

    Great controller that is responsive and feels like a high quality product. I've tried other brands of controllers with paddle buttons, and preferred this one. It is more expensive than I would like, but it is noticeably better than the stock controllers.

    Great upgrade from the standard controller. If you play alot of video games it’s worth the price. Definitely purchase the extended warranty though if your paying for a premium controller. Controllers go through a lot of wear and tear so the warranty is a must.

    Amazing controller! Inconsistent Manufacturing.

    I understood why people love this control the instant I put it in my hand. It feels premium. After playing with it for two weeks, it began to feel natural; my hand was adapting to the new trigger buttons. Unfortunately, the right trigger began to give-way and the spring was making a squeaking sound. The standard face buttons also didn’t register every time I press them. I returned it. Thankfully it was within the return period. I now also understand the issues of this controller. The manufacturing for these controllers isn’t consistent. I purchased a new controller that arrived today and i hi opefully I can leave a better review in the coming weeks and months.

    Extremely happy with this controller, gave 4 stars instead of 5 simply because of how different the paddles were from the first elite controller. It took some time to get used to after using the original elite controller for years. Definitely worth the upgrade to the series 2.

    At first I was skeptical of a 200 dollar controller. After been using it for three months now it feels fantastic much better than any other controller than I have ever used. It has a good weight to it and feels high quality. Definitely worth the 200 in my opinion, so just buy it already you know you need a new one.

    love the controller had the original elite. The improvements are very welcome. Have the add ones like bluetooth, adjustable analog tension ,.rechargeable battery , amd the paddles feeling better then the original. The only issue I have with the controller is the price tag.

    The Elite Series 2 controller is an excellent alternative to the much more expensive Scuf Instinct controller. The only negative about this controller is the amount of stick drift you can get.

    At first the controller felt amazing to use, quick and responsive but as a couple months went by stick drift and sticky buttons began to occur as well as bumpers not registering consistently. Made for a short time not a long one, would not recommend if not ready to buy another one.

      Hey Justin,

      We're glad that you've been enjoying your new Xbox Wireless Controller Series 2 for the most part, but sorry to hear there have been a couple of issues, too. Every new Xbox controller comes with a 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty so, if it's still within the warranty period, we recommend reaching out to Xbox Support for assistance here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,

    Amazing controller! The grip is much better than the standard controller. Need to get used to the back paddles but that comes with time. No sticking issues on any button as some reviews suggest. Battery lasts over two weeks without charging with 3 hours of play every night.

    My son says it's great, plays with it a lot, but for 3, times the cost of a usual controller, it is not 3 times better. It was bought as a special gift, not as a normal purchase. If you've got money to spend, buy it, if you think it's too expensive, the normal controllers are good.
