great pc controller
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.use this with my gaming PC over basic xbox wireless controller. came from console so prefer this over mouse and keyboard input. no problems with this randomly disconnecting like the basic xbox controller did. and the build quality (rubber grips, sticks, triggers) just feel so good in the hand. color might be only gripe cuz it has already got pretty dirty so might swap for a different color.

Premium controller!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently upgraded to the Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller, and I have to say, it’s an absolute game-changer! The build quality is exceptional, and you can instantly feel the difference compared to a standard controller. The customizable paddles and thumbsticks are a huge plus, allowing me to tailor the controller to my playstyle. The interchangeable D-pads and adjustable tension on the thumbsticks provide a level of precision I didn’t even realize I was missing.

Best contoller ever.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While this contorller does not have the “premium feel” as its older brother, it feels good to have another more durable Elite contoller in my hands. Hands down one of the best contollers made.

Excellent controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent controller. It’s replacing the standard controller and the horrible SCUF controller. My recommendation is to stick with OEM items.

No attachments, otherwise good controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great controller. Good grip, awesome haptics. Only problem is that the kit was missing the most basic attachments that make the pro controller what it's supposed to be: the backside paddles, thumb-stick and d-pad replacers, all sold separately.

Best series yet!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great controller. Internal battery is nice. A single charge lasts a long time, the responsiveness is outstanding. I love the hair trigger option and the 3 different paddle setups for different play styles. Its so versatile and easy to switch between console, to pc, and even to my phone during trips. Comes with extra parts too. Definitely a good purchase

I like it a lot, but boy, is it expensive!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really dig this controller and look forward to the inevitable Elite 3 which will (hopefully) borrow a bit more of the things I like about the Series SX controller. In the meantime, this will be just fine. It's expensive, so I do recommend trying to catch it on a sale. The build quality feels excellent, and I'm generally happy with the level of customization it allows me on PC. I primarily use this for FPS games (Apex Legends, at the moment). If you're feeling limited by what your standard controller or gamepad lets you do (especially as far as movement goes), this might help. There's a learning curve, and you'll probably spend a few days figuring out how to map your buttons with another week adjusting to using paddles, but once you get it, you can expect to feel as comfortable with it as you would any other gamepad. I really like the magnetic attachments, the trigger stops, the "Shift" options that let me program buttons do more than a single function, and the overall feel of it. The d-pad is a bit more squishy than I'd like, and I do prefer the feel of the SX d-pad to this one. It's fine, though, and you don't really use it much for FPS games, anyway. I've heard complaints about stick drift, but I think that's an eventuality with all modern controllers, regardless of brand. I typically do a full rotation with each stick before I start playing, and that tends to "reset" them, so stick drift isn't really a problem for me, especially in games with deadzone settings. That said, I've only had this a few weeks. I do have an extended warranty, just in case, so time will tell. If you think this might be for you and aren't completely turned off by the price, I'd recommend it. If you can't think of a reason you'd want it or would ever want to pay that much for a controller, skip it. Beyond FPS games, I could see this as being super cool for racing games and maybe a few other genres. Also, if you're using it for PC, get the dongle (I think it runs about $20-30). I already had one, and it works really well.

Perfect upgrade for an xbox controller.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Much better upgrade from the Elite Series 1, the adjustment to the sensitivity to the joysticks is a much better improvement in adding precision to the shooter genre, always missing all the time. love the battery quality (40 hrs tops) no need to be charging every 4-6 hours and can do my marathon gaming without fear of running out of battery.

Great replacement
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had to replace my previous controller because of wear. It’s nice that the core is available so I don’t have to buy everything else that comes with it since I already own them. The controller itself is my favorite, most customizable in my opinion.

An Excellent Replacement!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used my Elite Series 1 for years and wore it out, even changed it's housing/buttons over time, still works to this day. Loved every minute of it, and the successor is an even more reliable move forward. I love the case/charger combo, makes putting down my controller and always having battery so much better. Less to think about. Super responsive controls and the customizabilty is extremmely flexible

Awesome controller!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The elite controllers have come such a long way! They seem to be made much better than the original ones years ago. So far, it's been great and not needing batteries has been a huge plus!

Best controller by far
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Let me start by saying I LOVE this controller. The customization, the easy charging, and being able to set the tension on the joysticks is second to none. I’ve tried all the other third party controllers that are similar to this one, and none are quite as good as this. With that being said, it isn’t without issues. The first one that I bought would randomly disconnect whether it was wireless or whether it was wired. As far as the wireless disconnects go I found out that my router was on the same frequency channels and then with the controller uses so when it would frequency hop it would kick the controller off those channels. If you research what channel the controller uses then you can set your router to use a subset of channels that are higher than it and you won’t have the issue, but it took a while for me to figure that out. Hopefully that helps someone reading if you have that problem at home. As far as it disconnecting even though it was wired to the consul I’m not sure why that was happening, but I will say it’s not happening with the second one I have now. The other issue I had was stick drift and button failure. My left bumper started not working as well and was really intermittent, and both of my six developed drift. Luckily I bought the warranty and I was able to get it replaced with a brand new one but that was in process by itself that took months. Finally one came in stock because they were never in stock because everyone is replacing them constantly, that I was able to order pay for and then Best Buy reimburse me after going through a couple of management levels although I was preapproved previously by support. Buy the replacement warranty. If you can put up with a few flaws that it has, bottom line is it is the best one you can buy and don’t hesitate to purchase.
