    I can't go back to using another controller. The trigger locks and rubber grips make a big difference.

    I originally bought this controller on a whim (I had a rewards certificate that was going to expire). I was originally a Playstation controller person stretching back to my PS2 as a kid, but I'm in love with the elite. The extra weight of the controller was a bit weird at first but now other controllers seem like a cheap toy in comparison. This is high quality and can take a beating as it travels with me. One word of caution: Use the included case if you're traveling with it. Because the D-pad and analog sticks are hot-swappable that means they're also removable. The analog sticks especially can and WILL fall off if you just throw this in a backpack or something. It comes with a really nice case, so just use that. I don't like the paddle buttons in the back but that's okay because you can take them off. Very happy with this purchase and I'll get another one or an Elite 3 when the time comes to replace it.

    Great controller. Make sure to get the 2 yr warranty with Best Buy though they’re notorious for wearing out but Best Buy’s policy is great cause you can renew your warranty with the replacements. I bought one when they first released and have probably been through 5 of them now because of how good their replacement policy is

    This is my first review with this controller after owning each elite controller since launch. They are amazing controllers for the most part, however, the build quality is lacking. You might run into toggle or top bumper problems the most (like in my case). Each time I've had to replace this controller, it's either the joystick toggle, or the top bumpers. So the build quality doesn't justify the price tag at all. The battery life and grip and the back bumpers make this controller worth it for more seasoned players. I would at least always recommend the protection plan... it's worth it for the extra $65 or so.

    Best Xbox Controller. These are made sturdy compared to the plastic ones that come with the Xbox. The customizations with the back panels and you can even change the color of the center X.

    The back buttons are so useful for call of duty and the rechargeable battery eliminates the need for AA batteries. Pricey but worth it and it doesn’t come with the peddles.

    This controller is a huge step up from the regular controller provided with the Xbox! The bells and whistles are totally worth it and the case is that final magic touch. I’m a streamer and sometimes travel to game and having a cased controller is like having your cake and eating it too! Well worth the money!!

    Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2

    Bought this to play certain games on my PC, because all of the generic Xbox controllers I purchased usually break very easily (the spring-return breaks in the a-b-x-y buttons, or drift on the sticks etc) so why not buy a $200 controller? First thing I noticed was the controller weight, it's got some heft. Feels great in your hands especially with the rubberish grip material, I like the customization options and additional buttons, cross and joysticks. You can remove the paddles on the back or disable them with the middle button between the pause and option buttons. You can go wired (with included braided USB-C cable) or wireless via bluetooth. I dont like enabling bluetooth on my motherboard so i bought the official Xbox Wireless USB adapter, which works perfectly with Win 10 and this controller. The sticks can be swapped out for longer, or fatter ones (included) and you can swap out the disc for the traditional up-down-left-right cross (also included). The stick tension can be adjusted tighter or looser to your liking. I have owned this for one month (to the day) and have used it heavily playing mostly RDR2 PC (i game most of my free time) and so far it's held up very well. I've used it wired (no problems) and wireless (via USB adapter) with only a few dropped connections (the game pauses and says press any key to continue) no idea if it's radio (noise) interference or freak accidents with the USB adapter, but if you press the Xbox logo button it should reconnect in a few seconds with no issues. I charge fairly often after using wireless, and game multiple consecutive hours and so far the battery has not died on me during play. The only issue I have with this is the price. Again, it's a $200 (a little under $200) but I got the insurance because of the heavy gaming I do, and again, i paid almost $200 for this so... But it's a sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet controller hands down.

    I purchased this item as a replacement for the Elite Series 2 Controller that suffered from sever stick drift. Since I was past the warranty period I figured why not? Great feel and weight. Definitely worth the purchase. I was able to use the paddles and charging case from the Original Elite Series 2 controller.

    The feel and weight of this controller is terrific. I personally love the rubber grips on the handle and the clickiness of the dpad.
