    Maybe the greatest controller I've ever owned

    After finally acquiring a Series X, I was content to use the standard Xbox wireless controllers. I even invested in a PowerA Fusion controller that was on clearance for less than $50. But when this came available for $139 during the 15 days of Gaming promotion I felt compelled to give it a try. I can't recall a better deal being made. Even at full MSRP it is a great value. The design, the weight and feel. The quality of materials used plus the functionality and countless configurations are unmatched. Why buy anything but the best? I think it is a highly durable product that will give you the greatest satisfaction. I have zero regrets.

    The microsoft elite controller 2 is the best controller Ive owned! The grip on the handle is very comfortable, the adjustable triggers and joysticks make it the most personalized controller out there currently!! It’s rechargeability is exactly what XBOX has been missing all these years!! The controller may be a little pricey but in comparison to the stock controller, this controller blows it out of the water!!

    No matter how much I tweaked the thumbstick tension and spent time "breaking in the sticks" or adjusting thumbstick curves in settings, it just never gave me the level of responsiveness that some stock controllers do (Dualshock 4, Dual Sense, Gamesir G7, Wolverine v3 TE, 8bitDo Ultimate 2). AND those controllers are a fraction of the price. It's unfortunate because the feel of this controller is above and beyond all others. It has a nice weight and overall feel in the hands. The back paddles are also excellent. It's just a shame that the actual responsiveness does not match.

    When you pick up this controller quality is the first thing you feel. You know this is what you paid for. The heaviness, the quality, the perfect textured grip shows the Xbox took this controller to the next level. Even better than the first generation of this controller. Then to top it off, you can add custom button mapping to Each button even change the color of the Xbox logo. Everything from customization to mapping is just a nice touch.

    I’ll start by saying I paid for it with credit card rewards- so I didn’t have to pay any extra for it. While it’s a bit pricey, I do love it and am glad I got it. It’s very comfortable, the metal pieces are really nice and it just feels better than a regular controller. I dropped it once from maybe two feet up, some of the metal pieces popped out but they popped right back in because they’re magnetic, which is actually really cool. No issues with stick drift (yet) after a few months of use. Love it so far.

    Controller has a lot more customization in terms of thumbstick height and trigger actuation. Also comes with a nice carrying case. Very good quality controller with a premium feel. Only con is that it is quite expensive.

    Best Gaming Controller

    I love the feel of the controller. Its comfortable and grips well in hand. This is the perfect controller for first-person shooter games with the additional paddles in the back, and the adjustable triggers. Utilizing the additional paddles takes a few hours to get use to, but once you do, It is hard to use any other controller. Also the addition of a carrying case, extra swappable pieces, and portable charger make this controller worth the price tag. I was skeptical at first, but glad i invested in this controller which will be my primary gaming controller for many years.

    Hands down the best controller to use for PC gaming or on a Xbox console. 40 hours of battery life on a single charge, plus seamless integration with windows computers makes it very simple to set up and start using. The controller buttons/layout are always recognized without needing 3rd party software and the ability to purchase a small USB wireless adapter makes it all the more seamless. It does everything all the fancy 3rd party controllers does, at a better price.

    Great controller overall. If you overuse L1/R1 it can stop working with usual pressure. I have had to return 3 now for the same issue. Pros: paddles allow you to keep your thumbs on the sticks at all times and ease of use on non shooters Rechargable, good battery life Cons: L1/R1 issue

    Feels like about 100 dollars worth of controller for the low low price of 200 dollars. Honestly it has some neat features, the typical things found on previous iterations of elite and scuf controllers but with added things like 3 quick change profiles, adjustable stick tension and a very long lasting recharablge battery pack that recharges when placed back inside its case. I'll be eager to see if my favorite microsoft controller feature will make a triumphant return on the elite version 2....stick drift, it's been missing so far, but its not outside its factory warranty period...so there's still time.
