I love the options this controller gives you. Once you buy it you will never go back to a regular controller

Honestly I was skeptical at first, but the controller fits very comfortably and has a hight build quality. Stick drift is definitely still a thing, but with the stick tension adjustment it was easy to find a balance, unlike the original Xbox controller. You get what you get as far as tension goes. Overall great product, things I wish it had; hall effect joysticks and a better price tag (high cost).

Nice upgrade over my series 1. I bought the core because I still had all the accessories from my original. Everything matches and that’s the only difference between the 2. Love the new grips.

The Elite Series 2 Xbox controller is exactly what it says it is: elite. The full package comes with a case that has charging capabilities built into it, storage for the paddles that can go on the bottom of the controller, and storage for the optional sticks. The controller is fully customizable using the Xbox app, and gives you the ability to configure multiple profiles. You can switch between the profiles directly on the controller giving you the option to quickly change layouts when testing things out or switching to other games. The controller works well with Windows 11, which is one of the reason I got it. The overall weight and premium feel of the controller are both really nice. I still think the A-B-X-Y buttons feel kinda sticky and cheap like they do on the base controller. Rechargeable batteries are integrated with the controller. The paddles for the underside of the controller and different stick options allow you to customize the feel and functionality of the controller. The controller is pretty expensive, but also on par with other premium controllers available. I’d you want a premium experience, integrated rechargeable batteries, customizable gaming experience, and don’t mind shelling out almost $200 (after tax), then go for it. Otherwise, you could simply get the Elite 2 Core Controller for around $120 and add the case and extra parts in the future if you are wanting them.

This is an amazing controller, easy to set up and easy to customize. Love the rechargeable built in battery and battery life.

This controller is fire works perfect for games like Warzone etc..

The Xbox Elite controller feels amazing in my hands. It is so much of an upgrade to the standard controller.

As a gamer who suffers from sore hands, I've been on the lookout for a controller that could help alleviate my discomfort while still providing the high level of performance I need for my favorite games, Fortnite and Call of Duty. Enter the Microsoft Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller. I purchased this controller from Best Buy, and I must say that it's been a game-changer. Here's a detailed review of my experience with this controller, covering everything from unboxing to gameplay. Unboxing: The Microsoft Elite Series 2 controller comes in a sleek, premium black box, with a clear image of the controller on the front. Upon opening the box, I was greeted with a high-quality carrying case, which houses the controller and its various accessories. The case is a nice touch, making it easy to transport the controller and keep everything organized. Inside the case, I found the controller itself, a USB-C charging cable, a charging dock, and a variety of interchangeable thumbsticks, D-pads, and paddle attachments. The range of customization options was immediately impressive, and I couldn't wait to try them out. Pros: Customizable Design: One of the standout features of the Elite Series 2 controller is its customizable design. The interchangeable thumbsticks, D-pads, and paddles allowed me to create a personalized controller setup that significantly reduced my hand strain during gameplay. The adjustable-tension thumbsticks are particularly helpful, enabling me to fine-tune the resistance for improved control. Build Quality: The controller feels sturdy and well-built, with a nice weight to it. The rubberized grips provide a comfortable, non-slip surface that makes it easy to maintain a firm grasp during intense gaming sessions. Wireless Performance: The wireless connectivity is excellent, with virtually no input lag. This is essential for fast-paced games like Fortnite and Call of Duty, where split-second decisions can mean the difference between victory and defeat. Battery Life: The controller's battery life is outstanding, lasting up to 40 hours on a single charge. The included charging dock makes it easy to keep the controller charged and ready for action. Cons: Price: The main downside of the Elite Series 2 controller is its relatively high price point. However, considering the quality, performance, and customization options, I believe it's a worthwhile investment for gamers who struggle with hand discomfort. Learning Curve: The level of customization may be overwhelming for some users, and it took me a bit of time to find the perfect setup for my preferences. However, once I did, it was well worth the effort. Gameplay: Using the Elite Series 2 controller has significantly improved my gameplay experience in Fortnite and Call of Duty. The customizable design has not only helped to alleviate my hand soreness, but has also improved my overall performance. The hair-trigger locks, for instance, have enabled quicker response times, and the rear paddles have allowed me to execute more complex moves with ease. Conclusion: Overall, the Microsoft Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller has been a fantastic purchase. The high-quality build, customizable design, and exceptional performance have not only made gaming more comfortable for my sore hands, but have also taken my gameplay to new heights. Despite the relatively high price, I believe the controller is a worthwhile investment for anyone looking to improve their gaming experience and alleviate hand discomfort.

Comfortable and very customizable. Being able to leave it in the case to charge and transport is a game changer.

Great buy. One of the best controllers you can get out there, because of the possibilities. Of rearranging the buttons for your gaming style. It was surprisingly light for A controller Also had nice grips for the hands to hold on to. I had broke part of my left hand pinky bone, and because of the ability to change the placement of buttons, thanks to the paddles on the controller, I was able to keep playing the games that I liked especially since a new release came out. And I couldn't quite hold the controller right for the one side. But because of the remapping of the buttons, I was able to still play

I mean, the best controller ever in my opinion, just don’t drop it those joysticks break easily but those back pedals and everything else feels fantastic

Great it's my favorite controller. I love the removable paddles for various types of games.

Good for the money as i purchased used. Works and i put it through its workout. Battery lasts 45 hrs easy

It’s a decent controller: had good weight, feels better than original. Experience a little stick drift right from new but I’m a casual gamer so it is what it is..

Works great, feels good, I really like adjustable tension for the thumbsticks it keeps that fresh controller feel. Really wish this color scheme came with the paddles though.

For what u paid for (used) it’s great! Unfortunately I was expecting to come in its original box but didn’t, which it’s still ok. It came with everything, the controller was spotless and scratch less too! But, as I expected for a used item, the left trigger had some registering problems on its lowest setting, besides that the rest of the controller works perfectly.

Fantastic controller!! Perfect comfort and feel. Slightly lighter than the elite series one controller with better grips.

Out for all the Xbox controllers I've had in the past this remote has been known to last 2 or more years without having stick drift. The buttons do not get stuck or lag while playing online.

The only controller I will ever buy. I love this thing so much easy to use and set up and its so durable lasts me for years

This controller has been amazing to use. I was using a ps5 controller for my pc but this xbox controller blew that right out of the water. Perfect grips stay stiff in your hand, adjustable triggers, and easy connectivity. Highly recommend for a true gamer
