Holds charge, great feel
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While I love how clean this looks in the white color, I love the feel of this second generation. I didn’t necessarily need the paddles in the back and I already had a charging solution so I didn’t mind just getting the core version.

Great controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this controller. All the bells and whistles are nice, but what I like the most is the weight of it and that I don't have to replace batteries.

Great Christmas Gift
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fantastic controller, kind of annoying how you can’t lock the magnetic joysticks or d-pad in place. Sometimes you can easily flick them off, specifically the joysticks.

THE BEST!
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.No controller has ever felt better in my hands. A little heavier than the standard xbox controllers. Paddles and trigger locks are legitimate ways to get an edge in online/competitive gaming. Personally, I only use 2 paddles as all 4 feels a bit strange with my hands size. There's also many ways to adjust the response curves of the joysticks offering advanced ways to tailor control. I recommend the warrany for peace of mind knowing that this product has some history of defects, not to mention controllers themselves get beat up over time, thats the way it is!

Level Up your Gaming Experience
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller is amazeballs!! The programmable 4 back paddles are a game changer. Takes awhile to program for different games and profiles but it’s worth it. Only for experienced gamers!- if you’re a newb concentrate on learning how to play first because this will confuse tf out of you but long time gamers don’t read anymore BUY NOW!!

XBox Elite Controller Series 2
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The controller feels weighty and nice to hold in your hand while playing, and I really enjoy the modular nature of the controller. I took a star off be cause the controller is coated in a tacky substance so that it’s a little less slippery than a normal Xbox controller would be. I personally don’t love the feeling of it, and it has a bit of a weird smell to it.

Good for what I paid for
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great controller for Hardcore Gamer
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great controller! Obviously, the high price makes it worthwhile only if you are a lifelong gamer but, “ You get what you pay for” This controller has a heavier feel, there are apps to control fine adjustments and everything works that much better. Make sure to purchase the protection plan because even though this is a high quality controller, things break and this will also. One difference between this and the series 1 controller is that this one has a rechargeable battery built in, I don’t know about the battery life so far but this could be a good or bad thing. We shall see. This is a great controller nonetheless

Good when it works...
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second elite controller. I've had it for a little over a year and the buttons are already going to crap. It gets a three because when it works it's great. However, I wouldn't recommend this controller to anyone.

Reason why to buy a Xbox elite series 2
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great controller. I always use the elites, you just have to buy the warranty cause if you play a decent amount the controller does break easily

An engineering masterpiece for gaming
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've wanted an Elite controller for quite some time and when Microsoft announced this one, I was even further tempted. I decided to wait for a bit to see how well it reviewed before I decided to buy it if I was going to at all. I could write a very long and in depth review of this controller but I'll try to keep it brief. The very first time you grab this controller you know without a doubt that it's an extremely well-built device. Some players might not prefer this controller due to its weight because it's pretty heavy compared to most. I don't mind this personally, I prefer the weight. The variety of options on offer are great. There are several bits and pieces included allowing a player to situated the controller as desired and quickly make the swaps when changing games. The triggers have three positions and have haptic feedback. This is great when playing something like Forza because you can feel the resistance from the car when accelerating or braking. The back paddles can be remapped to any of the buttons on the controller and quickly swapped out or removed entirely. At any rate, most of these features are in the description but are some of my favorite aspects. I love the included case and charging dock, even more so since you can charge it while it's in the case. USB-C is greatly appreciated and should be the gold standard to which all devices are engineered now. The charging cable is long and very well made. The entire package is simply amazing. I purchased this to use with my gaming PC (do not currently own XBox One) and it's been a greatly welcomed addition. This leads me to the only potential sticking point for some. In order to remap the buttons, you need the XBox Accessories app for Windows 10. The app nice because it allows you to program up to three profiles for different button mappings that can be switched on the fly via the button in the center of the controller. However, as of the time I'm writing this, it doesn't allow for programming button combinations or macros. I've read that this will be later added to the app via a software update. Additionally, you can connect the controller via Bluetooth but unless you use the cable or the Xbox Wireless adapter, the app cannot detect the controller and you can't use the built-in headphone jack. This is pretty minor point since many will use the cable, may not use the headphone jack, or (like me) will purchase the wireless adapter. Buying the wireless adapter was an easy decision for me since it also allows for multiple controllers to be connected to the same PC, in addition to detecting the controller in the app and use of the headphone jack. So, yea, it's expensive, but uncompromisingly so. If the price point works for your budget and you're on the fence, rest assured you're going to get your money's worth should you decide to buy it.

Posted .Hey there,
Thank you for sharing your in-depth experience with your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. We're thrilled that you consider it to be an engineering masterpiece and that you're enjoying its many customization features. While it does support Bluetooth, investing in a Xbox wireless adapter is an excellent suggestion to take advantage of all its features on Windows 10 PC. We hope you continue to have a lot of fun with your Elite 2.
