    Not for average Gamers.

    I have the Series 1 and this is def an improvement, it feels heavier to me. Also the wireless/plugless charging makes it so much better than the series one. It also feels tighter to me, could be a placebo. Using it on my XBox Series XX with no issues. Best to get this when it goes on sale as the price is steep. Should be included as an upgraded option when you purchase the new X Box Series X. This is really for those who need it not your average gamer to be quite honest.

    Great controller, but bumpers break easily

    The controller worked great, and the paddles on the back were able to work with rebinding native keys, but with the default configuration I was also able to use Steam controller configuration to rebind keyboard and mouse keys to the controller. It had everything I wanted, and it handles very well. But, after about 6 months of use, the right bumper broke, and because I didn't purchase a protection plan I now have to repair it on my own, or just deal with a broken button. I read reviews online about "just rebind the RB to one of the paddles," but come on, no one wants a broken button, and it shouldn't have broken this soon in the first place. I read online that this was a problem with the series one controller, and apparently it hasn't been fixed in the series two. If you buy this, make sure to get the protection plan, because chances are your bumpers are going to break. Other than the bumpers, I've had no problems with the controller.

    This is the best remote I’ve ever owned. No stick drift and smooth as butter! Plus the worker made me aware w my protection package this remote would also be covered for any issues and if it couldn’t be fixed theyd simply give me a new ine

    Pinnacle of gaming controllers. Textured grips for a nice comfortable feel. Adjustable stick tension for increased/decreased sensitivity. Back paddles that provide extra buttons which in turn give more versatility. Trigger stops that give you a more intense and short haired pull for a the gamers who need that split second reaction time. All in all, just an excellent gaming controller to take your performance to the next level.

    The best controller of all time!

    This controller has the best build quality of any controller of all time. The weight feels excellent in the hand and the wrap around grips make the feel even better. The paddles have a new feel to them that the original elite controller did not have and it feels great. The whole controller immediately feels more precise and quality than the regular xbox controller. This is completely worth it if you have the money.

    I think Microsoft went above and beyond with this controller. It’s super comfortable to hold, it’s a good weight and the mapping is immaculate. I love the paddles and the interchangeable joysticks. If you want to invest money into another controller, make it this one.

    I was umm skeptical that a controller costing this much would feel like it was worth the scratch. I'm a enjoy the game at my own pace kind of gamer. So buy a controller like this? Well it's just better quality for one. Being able to shorten the top triggers is a great feature for when you need to button bash through a boss fight. I've only had this controller a month so I can't speak for it's longevity but so far I'm happy I invested.

    I’ve had 2 scuff controllers and I feel like the Xbox series controller is a better pick hands down, you get the same customizable controls if not better. Also it’s for a better price

    I replaced my worn out elite series, with the new version. My old unit had played hard! This new series 2 has great new improvements, also the new unit is not a duplicate. You can not swap parts from the old to the new. I have my original fitted with round top sticks on it, the new unit only allows one of these, on one side or the other. You can not use the old sticks or any other remove able controls. So yes I love it for being well made, but just not compatible with the older elite.

    I love the feel of this controller, but unfortunately the A button sticks pretty bad. I looked up to see if this was a common issue and it seems to be that way. If they could fix this issue, it woukd he the best controller on tbe market.

    Sucks that Microsoft still makes you purchase battery paks for controllers. This is where they fall short in the console wars. However, this was an impulse buy, dang it microsoft. But it is a very good controller. It feels premium and it comes with a charge base. All controllers should be double a battery free at this point. But still, all in all, its worth it.

    I feel like these should be cheaper, but straight up - once you've played with an Elite controller, you can't go back to a regular one. Fair warning - I'm on my 3rd one, you get right about 2 years out of it with moderate use.

    I love the Elite controllers. This is my 3rd in a matter of years and Microsoft kinda needs to look into some of the ongoing issues, but this is one of the best controllers out there.
