Better Than the Original
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Better than the original Elite controller. I've been through three Elite controllers due to stick drift and other issues, but the Elite Series 2 has lasted the longest without any issues.

Is it worth the money?
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a standard xbox controller and you can feel the quality difference. The built in rechargeable battery has a impressive uptime. I also really like the swappable sticks and the adjustable triggers. Very nice unit and well worth the money!

So close…
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the feel of this controller, but unfortunately the A button sticks pretty bad. I looked up to see if this was a common issue and it seems to be that way. If they could fix this issue, it woukd he the best controller on tbe market.

Improvement, but still needs tweaks
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Series 2 Elite is a much needed improvement over its predecessor, but still not perfect. The thumbsticks are still too easy to accidentally knock off, and I personally think the rounded ones should be smooth. Some pros would be the built in battery life is impressive, and it has 3 customizable control mapping options. The extra paddle buttons don't get knocked off as easily as the series 1 controller.

Son loves it!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this for our son's 12th birthday and he was so very excited about it. Apparently he had been wanting it because his friend has one and we didn't even know it. The versatility is great and we love that it charges in the case. He is obsessed with Fortnite so he gets a lot of use out of it. Great controller and highly recommend for the advanced gamers. My only complaint is how much it costs. As a mom and not a gamer I don't understand why it's so expensive...

Thank you
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Outstanding open box buy, it was everything I hoped it would be. It elevated my game to levels I haven’t seen since I emulated Dirk the Daring and saved Princess Daphne from the evil dragon Singe.

Better in most ways, but some trade offs…
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The elite series 2 is better in many ways than the Series 1, but does have some trade offs. You can read about the updates on the Msft website. So I just tell you what the negatives over the series one are. First the battery isn’t replaceable, so ones it’s capacity starts to go down, you’re out of luck. The other difference I’ve found is the textured grips are definitely not as sticky as the series one. Sure the texture looks and feels the same, this feels more like textured plastic than textured rubber. It’s more noticeable the longer you use it.

Highly Recommend
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve used a lot of different controllers. The elite 1 was great, but the elite 2 is definitely better. The different analog sticks are very convenient and comfortable. Grips nice on the controller. The in game settings that you can adjust are phenomenal and helped tremendously in games.
