Series 2
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great value, had for over a year now. Starting to get a little stick drift but nothing crazy

Works well with Windows, iOS, and more.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A great controller. As a casual gamer I’m not a fan of the faceted (round) d-pad not having any tactile markers or bumps, so I had to buy an aftermarket “+” shaped d-pad accessory. If you also get the back paddles for this controller they are placed well but require some playtime to get used to, especially if you are accustomed to squeezing the grips.

Nice upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice controller it’s heavy no batteries, the charge last for a long time overall it lasted about a year and half. Better than the original version but do recommend getting the 2yr or total tech warranty on it.

The Best
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My favorite controller. It’s got the heft and feel of quality while offering a perfect fit for my hands. You know that sound of quality when you shut a well-made car door? Not tinny and weak, but that sold *thunk*? This is the console controller equivalent.

I like it but..
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the controller, it feels great, responsive, heavy in my hands the grip on the handles is nice. BUT, and this is on me, I didnt realize it didnt come with all the add ons to make an elite controller, that would be sold separately ($30 i think) so not terrible. Also, the select button is hard to press to get to menus in game. I usually have to hit it twice to get it to register.

Best controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the best controllers Microsoft has made, once you play with an elite controller you'll never be able to switch back to a non elite controller!

Good controller if you get one with no issue.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great controller if you get one without issues. I have owned several elite controllers from Xbox. The original that I had zero issues with, and 2 elite series 2 that I had to return a combined 11 times to get one defect free. I got lucky with the core controller but keep in mind it is just that. You only get the controller you get no add one that make it a “pro” controller. I would recommend this at $100 or less not full price. Than just buy the add ones from amazon don’t get the Xbox licensed ones. Get the less expensive ones that are the same quality. Than you get a great controller at a value.

Great Controller!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great so far! Had a modded controller before this one and the buttons started sticking. I’m not a fan of the big paddles on the rear of the controllers so this worked out great. I love the feel of the rubber on the controller.

Wonderful until it is isn’t
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the Elite 2 controllers. Back peddles add an entirely new element of gameplay that I am unable to live without. There are 2 common defects however that lead to having to exchange on several occasions. Those defects are stick drift or bumper malfunction. After a year, one of these issues are sure to arise. I would advise on getting the extended warranty. This issues are very common in All controllers, but this product is quite a lot for a yearly investment.

Top-tier controller with premium feel
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Elite Series 2 Core controller delivers a fantastic gaming experience. The textured rubber grips feel great in hand, the buttons and sticks are responsive, and the battery life is impressive. Setup on Xbox and PC was seamless. The only caveat is the price — but if you’re serious about your gaming, this controller is a worthy investment. Highly recommend.

Amazing!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have a couple of PS5 Dual Sence controllers but no matter what you do on PC, they are rarely compatible with most games. So, i had my eye on this for a while. Finally took the plunge and so glad I did! Perfectly compatible on PC. Comes with everything you need including a charger.

Gets the job done
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller is a game-changer for competitive or enthusiast players who value customization and don't want to take their thumbs off the sticks. However, due to its price and potential quality control issues, it's often recommended to purchase an extended warranty for peace of mind.

Worth It
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best controller i’ve ever had. I’ve been so hesitant to buy it but then I went out and bought it and man it’s amazing. Not only does it have a good comfortable grip while gaming, BUT it also gives you a bit of personalization. I get that it’s pricy but if you’re on the fence, I would definitely recommend.
