    The controller is awesome! I love the ease of swapping joysticks, and the use of paddles. The adjustment of the trigger pull is so cool and the hair trigger click adjustment makes my shooting accuracy much better. Don’t forget, you can adjust the tension of the sticks which is surprisingly useful.

    Controller works great but noticed the buttons were lower quality than the elite series 2 controller I got from Microsoft.com

    Feels very solid. I've only used it for about an hour but the quality seems really good. Everything about it just feels like higher quality than the regular controller.

    It’s great. Battery life is great. The only drawback is when I push a button down, sometimes it doesn’t recognize it

    I have the gen 1 elite controller and everything working completely fine. Upgraded to see if any improvements were made and there definitely is. The trigger can be locked for shorter tension and their's 3 settings. Can create multiple settings for paddles behind controller. Love the charging dock can be charged in the case it came with. Battery life is long lasting and also thumbsticks tension can be adjusted which is good for FPS games. Also one big thing I recommend is customizing one of the paddles for SPRINT on the left thumbstick so you don't get drifting issues as I did with my elite gen 1 controller still going strong

      Hi there,

      Thank you for sharing what a good upgrade your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 has been for you. It's great to hear that you're a fan of its improved customization features and rechargeable battery. Setting one of the paddles to "sprint" in shooters and action games is an excellent suggestion, too! We hope you win a lot of online matches with it.

      Happy gaming,
      Chuck

    This controller is well worth the price tag. It feels like a quality controller and it is easy to get used to the paddles on the back.

    I was on the fence with this controller due to price and my inability to get used to the original elite controller with my short amount of time with it. Let me say, I have no regrets after 4 days with this one. The paddles are sized perfectly. Having large hands I had to grip my controller a bit differently in order to keep my hands from cramping, but the learning curve overall hasn’t been as bad as I’d imagined. I am significantly better at Apex legends now, and regularly make plays that I simply couldn’t with a normal controller. If you love gaming and take it even a little bit seriously, buy this controller, it is worth it.

    When i tell you this remote is exactly what any gamer wants i mean it. I have plenty of remotes and i also have the playstation pro remote when i say this dominates the playstation pro remote its because it has 4 back paddles interchangeable magnetic thumb sticks if you have any doubt go with the xbox elite

    Been gaming for 20 yrs....had the OG xbox all the way to Xbox X using the normal controller. The controller started sticking on the trigger and buttons, and I was getting more time on competitive Destiny 2 so I said "what the heck...let's bite the bullet and see". This Elite controller is cheating. Period. By all measures higher quality. You will have trouble getting used to the paddles, but keep on it. Enjoy playing competitive SIGNIFICANTLY more. Would/will buy again in the future, which I hope is a while away based on the build quality.

    Great price for an Elite Series Controller

    I just bought the controller a few days ago and so far, so good. This controller targeted for users that previously owned an Elite Series 2 controller. They are basically selling you the controller without the paddles and case. So, if you start getting stick drift in your remote and can't no longer play without using an elite like me, this controller is for you. The quality of the remote is just a bit cheaper but for the price it can't be beat.

    Has a nice weight to the controller. I do not see a real advantage to this controller considering the price.

    Best investment for your Xbox if you are intense into gaming and want more configuration. I bought TEMU paddles for the back side and thumb sticks and they work well

    The devices charge speed over USB-C is very fast with a good power source. An edge up in game being able to utilize your extra fingers on the back of the controller. The magnetic quickly swappable joysticks, D-Pad and, Paddles are truly easy enough to do between games loading. A perfect controller for someone who travels between multiple Xbox’s too keep their muscle memory and settings consistent with on-controller profile select.
