Love it! Great feel, magnetic paddles are nice for customizing based on which game I’m playing

Great until you start getting non-responsive bumpers or drift issues with thumb sticks.

Controller looks good , feels good , I love the metal finshes to the controller , but i would recommend getting the paddles as well

By far the best controller on the market. Battery life is amazing and the grip is perfect.

To start with I like the feel of this controller over the older model. Remapping was a breeze since my console recognized the other model controller was mapped previous to connecting it. I havent really had the chance to use it yet but i have it set up to knock some heads off in Call of Duty!!!

Great controller all around - grippy texture, mappable buttons and paddles - and I always like using the long thumb stick on the left side and shorter one on the right

The ultimate gaming controller definitely my go to controller for gaming with the stick tension adjustment and back paddles.

I've had the original elite controller for 5 years. Love it. Got used to the paddles makes playing the game so much easier, since you can map buttons to the back paddles. Main differences Paddles on the series 2 are SMALLER. Its not a bad thing. Paddles are more like buttons (more clicky than the Original). Which I love. It has bluetooth which is great since you can now connect to phones or tablets to you Xboxs knew streaming service XCloud. The original had just grips on the back of the handles now know grips cover the whole handle (front and back) the series 2 also has little grips on the bumpers and triggers. Is now rechargable, rather than AA batteries. You can know have 3 preset custom control options rather than 2. I don't miss anything on the original and the elite series 2 is my new favorite. I can't go back to the old paddles. It's well worth the purchase and I recommend getting the device protection on it so if something DID go bad u can easily replace. Even if you don't use the paddles the controller is overall substantially better quality than that of a standard $60 controller. As long as you don't throw it and you treat it nicely.

I going to go ahead & give this item a good review, this is my second one. First one was great & then out of no where the right bumper started double clicking, I dealt with it for a little, however at $180 for a controller, it better be flawless & I didn’t have it but for like 2 weeks & it’s malfunctioning. I looked up online & that’s where I found my issue & others. I returned it to Best Buy & as normal they exchanged it for me with no fuss. So far the new one is working correctly, seems the face buttons need to be pressed with conviction, however the entire controller works, the craftsmanship & functionality is great & this could be the greatest product ever, if Microsoft can just fix the software & hardware issues. It’s crazy how all over the place the quality control is. If this controller goes south, I will be looking to get a refund & just buy a good battery charger & battery setup for my plain jane Xbox controller & call it a day, that controller still works great

My personal opinion is this is as good as it get unless you dish out the 250 for the scuf instinct ....

Best controller I’ve ever played with it’s extremely comfortable in the hands when playing

I love this controller because it’s very sturdy, and the analog sticks are robust as well. I’m glad this controller comes in multiple colors, and I do recommend it to everyone.

This is the only controller my son uses now. He loves it and brags to his friends all the time. (I personally don’t know anything about it as I do not play)

The controller was excellent the buttons were nice and clicked very easy to use on shooting games 10 out of 10 would recommend this controller but a little pricey.

Nothing different from the Elite gen 2, however if you are looking for a different color go for it, just keep in mind this is the cheap version it does not come with the peddals, sold separately.

I've had other Elite Series 2 controllers and they all broke fairly quickly, so i bought this as a replacement. It's great so far, but if it breaks quickly again I'll update my review

Wouldn’t use another controller! Highly recommend to any Xbox players

Improved game play with back buttons/paddles. works great

Easy to Use and works amazing for FPS. I highly reccomend buying this especially if they don’t release an Elite 3 controller.

Is it expensive? Yes Is it worth it? YES. It's heavy which makes it feel sturdy, the paddles on the back add extra inputs (which I love) and the trigger locks are a godsend for shooters.
