Many appreciate the customization options and the controller's overall feel and weight.

The positive feedback on features like customization and feel is frequently offset by negative experiences with controller longevity.

Good enough to purchase again, but…
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love how it feels in my hands. Build quality could be a little better this is my second one after a couple of years, my right bumper only would work if pressing on a certain part of the bumper and the grip started to pull up a little bit. Other complaint is the software required to map buttons and update your controller on PC forced me to upgrade to Windows 11, not a huge deal but you know that’s just another lame tactic on Windows’s part.

Worth money/investment.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent controller. Map paddles on bottom to any other button or remove them. Feels solid/dense, unlike classic controller that feels hollow/weighless. Worth the money.

Controller
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had my doubts with this controller seeing how many people had an issue with the previous model. Everything has held up well. I would give it a 5 star if it wasn't for having to adjust everything from a memu. Compared to other cheaper controllers that you can program the padels on the fly... mid game.

Game-Changer Controller for Apex Legends!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just grabbed the Microsoft Elite Series 2 controller and it’s been amazing for my Apex Legends sessions! The build is super solid, and it feels premium in my hands. What really stands out are the paddles at the back. They make a huge difference in fast-paced games like Apex. I can jump, reload, and do all sorts of moves without taking my thumbs off the sticks. It’s been a game-changer for sure, making everything more responsive and upping my game. The battery life is great too, lasting through even the longest gaming marathons. If you’re big into games like Apex, this controller is a must-have!

Best controller since the Series 1 Elite
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They took the Elite Series 1 and made it better. The paddles are improved (less flimsy, it seems), you have more options for the hair trigger pulls (2 instead of 1), you get tension control for the joysticks, and the grip material wraps all around the controller grips instead of just the back. 4 stars because the right trigger started “sticking” a little bit. When I start pulling the trigger, it would have just a smidge more resistance than the left. Opening up the controller, there are 2 tiny foam pads attached to each trigger that eliminates the noise generated when the trigger returns to its default position. That foam had shifted on the right trigger and the adhesive was causing that stickiness. I removed the adhesive foam from both triggers since I had the controller open and it’s been great ever since. I don’t notice the extra noise at all while gaming (either because I’m wearing headphones or just engaged in the game).

A decent controller!
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the Microsoft Elite Series 2 wireless controller to play some games on my PC and Xbox. It's a pretty good controller, but not perfect. The design is sleek and comfortable, and the buttons are responsive and customizable. The battery life is also impressive, lasting for hours on a single charge. However, I have some issues with the durability and the price. The controller feels a bit fragile, and I'm worried it might break easily. The price is also quite high, especially compared to other controllers on the market. Overall, I think it's a decent controller for gaming, but not worth the hype.
