    I had a standard xbox controller and you can feel the quality difference. The built in rechargeable battery has a impressive uptime. I also really like the swappable sticks and the adjustable triggers. Very nice unit and well worth the money!

    Outstanding open box buy, it was everything I hoped it would be. It elevated my game to levels I haven’t seen since I emulated Dirk the Daring and saved Princess Daphne from the evil dragon Singe.

    My son had been asking for this controller for a while and though I don't quite understand all the different things it does he was thrilled when he opened this up on Christmas. It was his favorite present and he has been enjoying it since.

    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.

    Better in most ways, but some trade offs…

    The elite series 2 is better in many ways than the Series 1, but does have some trade offs. You can read about the updates on the Msft website. So I just tell you what the negatives over the series one are. First the battery isn’t replaceable, so ones it’s capacity starts to go down, you’re out of luck. The other difference I’ve found is the textured grips are definitely not as sticky as the series one. Sure the texture looks and feels the same, this feels more like textured plastic than textured rubber. It’s more noticeable the longer you use it.

    Improvement, but still needs tweaks

    The Series 2 Elite is a much needed improvement over its predecessor, but still not perfect. The thumbsticks are still too easy to accidentally knock off, and I personally think the rounded ones should be smooth. Some pros would be the built in battery life is impressive, and it has 3 customizable control mapping options. The extra paddle buttons don't get knocked off as easily as the series 1 controller.

    We bought this for our son's 12th birthday and he was so very excited about it. Apparently he had been wanting it because his friend has one and we didn't even know it. The versatility is great and we love that it charges in the case. He is obsessed with Fortnite so he gets a lot of use out of it. Great controller and highly recommend for the advanced gamers. My only complaint is how much it costs. As a mom and not a gamer I don't understand why it's so expensive...
