I have this xbox elite controller 2 for almost 1 year and I take good care of it since I bought it still one my controller to use. I also bought the carrier case to take it with me on family trips love the color of it.

Love this controller and you can customize is in many ways

The best controller I’ve ever used. You can change the tension on the left and right thumbsticks independently as well as the left and right trigger travel. The grip texture feels secure yet comfortable. FPS and platformer games are more enjoyable with this controller. Playing on a Windows 11 PC. I found a red controller on sale with the Total Membership for $94 which was well worth it considering normal controllers are around $70.

Great product and a decent alternative to its more expensive counterpart, Definitely recommend for someone wanting a little extra from their gaming experiences.

When I got the controller it was basically brand new. It was amazing because is had no stick drift too.

I've had other Elite controllers in the past (Series 1), and the updated Series 2 definitely feels like an update. The Red version is visually very pretty, feels great to hold in your hands, and the textured grips are great. It does feel like a premium product.

I purchased this elite controller for my son. He love the customizable options it offers. The perfect gift for true gamers!

Love this controller and will always stick with this brand. The customization is amazing and has top-tier performance. The weight, grips, and overall build are far superior to other brands. If you are thinking about buying it - do it! Have fun playing with the paddles and mapping them to whatever feels best for each game. It will feel weird at first but makes gaming so much more enjoyable and competitive. Highly recommend keeping all 4 paddles on for almost every game. Also, trigger locks are OP! BIG plus, I have not experienced any stick drift with any of these controllers. I have had 4 in total. Microsoft is a genius for The Xbox Accessories app, which allows you to make profiles for every game that you can easily switch to with a press of just one button. Only one con with this generation and the original Elite: The LB button and only the LB button eventually gives out. This happens usually within a year, but I also use it frequently. This seems to be common in all the forums I have read. Bring it back into Best Buy within a year and they will send it off to Microsoft to fix. Est. 2 week wait Highly recommend getting the Geek Squad Warranty if you decide to purchase for a faster turnaround.

Great !! Bought as a gift, very durable but it doesn't come with paddles. Will be purchasing again very solid controller in great condition

Works great BUT why is it that the RB button always gives out! I also have the 1st one which is just the elite series 2 i got it when it came out and same thing happened to it. I dont get it. So i might end up purchasing the regular controllers again cause its weird that they last longer...

So far this controller has held up better than the battery operated ones. Those kept giving out or not connecting to the Xbox. My son is kinda rough on his things and so far I’m satisfied with the durability. I also got the 2 year coverage just in case.

Controller is sweet. I like the grip for my sweaty palms mid game no slip and I dig the adjustable triggers. I’d recommend it

I owned the 1st Elite Controller for several years and still have it in use, in comparison this Controller is quite the improvement and feels amazing in my hands. I bought this knowing it was only the Controller and no accessories but that was due to having the the accessories from my old elite controller, still i bought the accessories because i was curious if they updated them. Overall this is a great upgrade and would recommend it for true gamers

got this for my bf as a christmas gift, it's an amazing quality & the battery life is insane!

And I love the controller. This is probably the second one I bought the first one I bought with this account though they are awesome.

Love the controller my original had drift got the basics and swapped paddles

this controller is amazing, the build quality, materials, buttons, everything is very solid. however there is a massive flaw in the design. the sticks cannot be clicked in while tilted at an angle, I read online this was a common issue and can be fixed by unscrewing the stick counter clock wise slightly, however if you do this just 1mm too much it will be lose and freely spin, and tightening it will result in the same issue being unable to click the stick in. the solution for this was to take the controller faceplate off which is very annoying to do and held down but pointless adhesive and put a .5mm thick 4mm inner diameter jump ring around the stick and then screw the stick back on. the process is very annoying for an almost $200 controller when ms knows the issue and refuses to redesign such a simple fix, but it now feels perfect

Worth getting it over the full elite controller bundle as you can save on the accesories by buying third party ones for much cheaper. Got this version for $93 with the BB+ membership so it was even better. No hall effect sensors but its for regular use

I preordered this controller prior to release and have used it regularly since November of 2019. Overall, the controller felt like a joy to use; in almost every sense it gave the appearance of a premium product. The bluetooth and internal battery were natural quality of life improvements over the Elite 1. I used it regularly on my PC and an NVIDIA shield. Then, one morning, I went to use and felt myself being stabbed on my finger tip. Apparently, one of the tiny sleeves on the hair trigger lock popped off the controller. It happens to be in a place where I naturally hold the controller; so far from having a smooth and nice tactile feel, I get stabbed in the finger by what appears to be metal every time I use the controller. A little bit of research revealed this to be a known problem with multiple threads on the MS support site complaining of this issue. The common solution seemed to be to super glue the sleeve into the trigger (which is startling given how expensive the controller is). However, despite this knowledge, there is no option to purchase a replacement sleeve from MS and its not included in the replacement button accessory kit the company sells. The only option provided to me by MS was to buy a replacement controller; a horrifically expensive proposition for what seems an obvious and glaringly simple fix on a "premium" product that hasn't even been on the market for a year. The best MS customer service could suggest was me to engineer a fix on my own, by either sticking a piece of eraser on the stabby part or a glue on bumper. A three figure "repair" option was offered to me as well. A great and expensive disappointment indeed.

Excellent controller! Easily customizable and the feel is solid compared to other controllers I have owned. feels more like a quality tool than a toy.
