Hard to beat. Great custamization and feel
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the elite series 1 for 2 years and then it broke. Used it almost everyday and was great. When these came out i was on the dence about getting them since they are so expensive and the old one broke. But once i startes using it again i have no regrets. It does help alot woth shooters adding the short trigger and just the weight and grip feel nice. 100% recommend if price is not an issue

Quality, Functionality, & Color
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The color is very vibrant, which, in my opinion, when purchasing a colored item such as a gaming controller, that is something we all fear will be an issue. My husband loves how great the quality of not only the color but the controller itself is. The joy sticks move smoothly creating for a nice time of video game playing. He loves that he can change out the sticks and other items to benefit his game play as well as to change up the colors if wanted. Not to mention that the accessories are magnetic making changing easier. This item works great for his XBOX and his PC use. We highly recommend.

Great Battery Life
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the third controller that I bought for my Xbox. It was expensive compared to the other two, but it is actually the best thus far. Very comfortable and the battery life is much better, lasting almost 16 hours. The fact that you can charge it while inside the case is a plus. I highly recommend this controller.

Must need for FPS Gaming
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are sick of removing your thumbs from your joysticks when you are in the middle of a battle, you would enjoy this controller. For me, I play a lot of first person shooters and this has helped me elevate my game okay. Im able to continue to battle with out removing my thumbs from the joysticks. The build quality is really nice and feels well built. There is a bit more weight to the controller because they use more metal parts. The only issue I have noticed is stock drift still plaques the controller. At this price point I would love to see hall effects joysticks. Other the. That the controller is worth the money.

Definite upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had the original and loved the customization. The 2 series has even more! I really like the 3 different trigger settings, for the pull. The tensioners on the joysticks as I have a heavy hand. Been using it for a bit and I really enjoy it! Haven’t had to charge it up yet so the battery life has been awesome! The price tag is my only complaint about it.

Wonderful, and also not.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love it and hate it. Physically it's incredible looking and feeling -- just what you would want out of a $200 controller. Would give 5 stars, except that out of the box my A button was less responsive than X Y B, and my right trigger developed a crunching / squeaking noise... which is not cool for a $200 controller. Bestbuy product page states you are buying a Model:FST-00008 version of the controller, and yet I received a Model:FST-00001. So... not sure why that was either, and thus I have to give 3 stars. If you can get one without any issues, or you don't care about the issues I mentioned, then don't hesitate on buying one. Product received via shipping on January 30th, 2021.

Microsoft - Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller Review
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the only controller that works for me. It's got a quality feel as a heavier controller, the paddles are ergonomically placed, and the thumbsticks allow for good control. However, I would only recommend this controller to those that are gentle with their controllers or that have the disposable income to keep replacing it. I have had at least 8 of these over the years and I have to keep replacing because the thumbsticks get drift rather quickly, and I've had frequent issues with the paddles becoming unusable or the bumpers becoming unusable. Get the protection plan!

Feels great, plays incredibly
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Super awesome controller, love the Dpad, controller is sturdy, grip is nice, triggers feel responsive, buttons click well. This controller doesn’t come with paddles so you’ll have to buy them on the side.

Common issue
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Dont get me wrong, I LOVE this controller… although ive owned two of these and the left bumper is almost guarenteed to start sticking and not taking input. Forcing you to use your paddles as bumpers. Otherwise build quality is pretty good d pad and joysticks very responsive and adjustble triggers are a must. Just watch out for this flaw and be prepared for specificlly the left bumper to fail because it only takes just long enough fir it to get out of warranty.

Best controller ever!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best controller I’ve ever owned. Unbelievable battery life, different analogs to swap out depending on preference and adjustable tension on the thumb sticks, as well as paddles in the back. No idea how this controller can ever be outdone.

I think it's the best controller.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my very first controller. I can say nothing about other controllers. (Cuz I'm PC Gamer) But I'm really sure this Elite controller 2 feels so good in the hands and the battery life is Awesome. I played 8-13 hours every day for 4 days without charging. (for testing battery). I recommend Elite Controller Series 2 for PC (if you want more challenge) and of course for Xbox
