    The feel and battery life of this controller are fantastic. I have to charge it about every other month. Just hate that to avoid disposable batteries, this or buying a rechargeable battery pack in 2024 is the way to do so. Other than that, I don’t regret this product at all.

    Great price, however paddles in the back will wear/tear after awhile and a paddle might become a little loose. maybe 6 months in for a casual player. Doesn't affect gameplay too much but annoying sometimes. Also my left thumbstick keeps coming loose sometimes but that doesnt affect gameplay, just annoying.

    Great controller. Good heft, adjustable stick tension and trigger throw. This version (Core) does not include the bottom paddles (removable) but can be equipped with them if you have them. It also does not include the case or the charging dock (again Core version lacks these accessories). This is my second Elite 2. Hopefully, this one doesn't die of drift like the first did.

    Excellent controller but some issues on PC

    The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 feels a lot better than the included controller in the Series X/S and seems more like a true "next gen" controller. I primarily use the Xbox Elite 2 for PC gaming. On Steam when connecting via Bluetooth the controller has worked flawlessly except with Batman: Arkham Knight which required telling the game it was a 360 controller with custom mappings. Surprisingly with Xbox PC game pass I ran into many more issues when connecting via Bluetooth, I found connecting via the included USB-C cable works better for game pass games, otherwise on BT I run into issues where some of the buttons aren't mapped properly and even when manually mapping them they don't respond correctly or at all. Being Xbox's flagship controller, I would think it would run seamlessly on Xbox game pass. The experience may be better on consoles but this controller is billed as an Xbox/PC controller and should work well on both. Other than those issues, which largely are corrected by connecting via USB-C, I like the controller quite a bit. The rumble feature feels much more natural than the included Xbox Series X controllers, which felt to me like technology from 10+ years ago with very basic and clunky vibration feedback, lightweight and a need for AA batteries, especially when compared with the all mighty PS DualSense. The Elite 2 controller has a nice weight to it, the thumb sticks feel solid, snappy and respond nicely. I haven't used the paddles much but I like that they are included and could see them being useful for many games. The grips feel good as well and make the controller sit securely in your hands during gaming sessions. The controller also feels more balanced than the X/S. This controller comes with a quality, corded 9' USB to USB-C cable as well as a rugged case that doubles as a charging station. Within the case it also includes a tool to adjust the thumb sticks as well as an alternate D-pad. Overall this is a large improvement over the included X/S controllers, and some of its PC compatibility issues which are a bit frustrating can largely be overcome by tethering with USB-C.

    The customization of this thing is unreal. Great feel and comfortable while playing. Just a little pricey imo!

    Ive had multiple elite 2 controllers the look and feel good . They tend to stick drift quite easy if you drop them.

    Out of all of my Xbox controllers, this one has managed to last the longest without developing the dreaded ghost drift issue that plagues regular controllers

    The customizations are endless. This controller is more weighted than the non elite ones, and it’s amazing. Everything about this controller is elite.

    Elite controllers are terrible and unreliable

    I have owned three elite controllers since they came out. I have owned two series 1’s. A first gen and another about a year later (hoping the bugs were worked out). The first had the button sticking issue they were all plagued with. The other had trigger issues sticking/not responding as well as the menu buttons not responding. Both of these were returned. Now I own one of the series 2’s and they’re just as bad. I bought one and immediately had to return it. It had some sticky black rubber stuck on the right stick that locked the stick up. The one I have now works but it is not worth the price. Absolute waste of money and I will not be buying another. The controller that comes with the console lasted longer.
