    It's super comfortable to hold, with a great ergonomic design that allows for extended gaming sessions without any discomfort. The buttons are responsive and perfectly placed, providing precise control over your games. The thumbsticks give just the right amount of resistance, offering smooth and accurate movement. And let's not forget about the rumble feature that adds an extra layer of immersion to your gaming experience. Whether you're playing action-packed shooters or engaging in fast-paced sports games, the Xbox controller delivers unmatched performance. It's a must-have accessory for any serious gamer!

    Great controller and i hate the controler that comes with the Xbox because it uses batteries. This feels more premium than the original too. I use the back pads for fps games but even if you dont use them its worth it.

    Disappointing Controller

    I recently purchased a new controller from Best Buy hoping to resolve the stick drift issues I had with my previous controller. However, my experience with the new controller right out of the box has been quite disappointing. Upon opening the box and plugging in the controller, I immediately noticed a significant stick drift problem. The analog stick would constantly move downwards and to the left, even when I wasn't touching it. This stick drift was so severe that it caused my screen to continuously scroll in those directions without any input from me. Considering the issues I had with my previous controller, I expected the replacement to work flawlessly. Unfortunately, the stick drift on this new controller was even worse than before, making it virtually unusable for gaming. As a customer, it is disheartening to encounter such a fundamental flaw in a brand new product. I believe it reflects poorly on the quality control and assurance measures of the store and the manufacturer. I would urge Best Buy to take note of these issues and ensure that the controllers they sell are thoroughly tested and free from defects before they reach the customers. I hope that this feedback helps them improve their product offerings and provide a better experience for future customers. Overall, my experience with the new controller purchased from Best Buy was highly unsatisfactory due to the persistent stick drift issues. I would recommend potential buyers to exercise caution and thoroughly test the controller before making a purchase to avoid similar disappointments.

    Excellent per usual. This is my third one and I really enjoy it for PC play and my xbox. I do wish they would come out with an elite version with mechanical triggers.

    You probably don't need this controller. It costs as much as a new Xbox these days, and doesn't really do much differently than the standard Xbox One controller. It is clearly built like a tank and is a very impressive piece of engineering... but you probably won't find it worth the price of admission.

      Hey Dennis,

      Thank you for sharing your perspective on Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. It's true, the Elite Series 2 isn't for everybody -- it's been designed with the most passionate gamers in mind, especially those who play competitively. But if you're looking for the ultimate in construction, durability, and customization, we hope you'll agree it's hard to beat.

      Happy gaming,
      Chuck

    I purchased this as an open box excellent and it was like I purchased it brand new. It was nice getting a significant discount for something that appears to be barely used. It works well with my Xbox One X and my Dell gaming laptop and I am glad I purchased it to replace my 1st gen Elite controller.

    Best controller ever, I enjoy the option of not having to spend more for the paddles when the paddles aren’t ever the issue. The customization is great as well

    I had the elite 1. After many years of use the rubber grips we’re beginning to peel away. I was anxious for an upgrade. So glad I did. It is a fabulous controller. Main reason I jumped was the sale price.
