I mean this is a no brainer. This is the best XBOX controller on the market. Weight is right, feel is solid, options and attachments are easy to plug and play. They fixed the rubber grip issue from series 1 controller.

This is probably the best controller out due to the level customization you can get and the build quality involved. The carrying case has a dual function as a charger to the controller's internal rechargeable battery (which is supposedly up to 30 hours of gameplay!). I use this mainly as a Windows PC game controller (I had sold my Xbox One due to barely any usage and who is ever going get a Series X with the high demand for current gen lol). The only downside I have on PC is having to constantly re-pair the controller after using it wired in order to have an Xbox headset to communicate to teammates via Discord. Even once it's paired and then you use wired once, it's as if the pairing is automatically outdated and the controller no longer recognizes the PC through bluetooth. For the price it's a little high, but save up on those gift cards and reward certificates!

It’s an overall solid controller. The reason for the four stars is the wear and tear. Sticks get dick drift after a year of heavy gameplay and considering the price I believe it should be at least two years for any part malfunction

The #1 thing I've learned over the past few years and dozens of controllers purchased is this: If you're serious about aiming in FPS games on Xbox (not PC/not my wheelhouse), you must buy 1st party Xbox controllers. Microsoft uses a custom algorithm that is only running when using their controllers. So using this knowledge that leaves 3 choices: Xbox Core, Xbox Elite 2 Core, and Xbox Elite 2. If you want back buttons, you have to go Elite. I can vouch that buying the latest lot number i could find of the Elite 2 Core gave me a controller that feels much more put together than an Elite 2 i got in 2020. It should last this time.

So many more features than the gen 1. I find it way more comfortable to hold, it’s lighter, and the thumb sticks feel 10x better. You can also adjust how stiff the thumb sticks are. I tried the one my sister had and knew I needed the upgrade.

Amazing controller if you get a good one out of the box. I had to go exchange it several times until I got one that wasn’t defective. Finally found one that wasn’t and it works/feels great!

Great controller. Love the feel and the customizable options. After playing with an elite controller I will Never go back to a stock controller

This thing is HEFTY! I cannot express how much better this controller is from a standard XB1 controller. The added paddles are nice, but I really haven't used them that much. There is a program that allows you to map them to your keyboard. The D-Pad is great too.

Excellent controller. Highly recommend. It goes on sale often and is worth the price. This is our second controller. We have had the other one for more than a year with no issues. It is responsive and versatile. The ability to remove the joysticks to clean is helpful, and charging the controller instead of constantly replacing batteries is a huge plus.

Love the color and the way it feels in hand. Its very responsive and battery lasts a long time before needs charging.

Very responsive controller, long battery life. Worth the extra cost.

Great product.. very responsive. Durable and ergonomic

Play about 4 hours a day. This is the only PRO Controller that has been able to withstand my daily playing style. I have tried 3 different companies and they all break within 6 months to a year.

Like OMG this controller is bonks, it's a must must have. -Tiniffer

Great controler, good feel and functionality, have had many now and always seem to get bumper issues or stick drift just after the warranty ends.

This thing just fells premium compared to other controllers. I have been using this for a while and when I picked up a normal controller, recently, I couldn't help but thinking the normal controller felt cheap.

Controller feels amazing and paddles are very nice. Only issue is the left stick. I’d suggest the protection plan if your left stick starts to break or drift. Only reason for the 4 star but best buys coverage is great.

Excellent, awesome xbox series x/s Controller. Highly recommend it...

One of the best controller out there not one issue.

I picked up this $180 controller because I wanted to see if Microsoft really made it better than the first one, and I must say after having it for a week of long gaming sessions I can say this: Amazing controller but Microsoft did not need to add the extra $30 to the price tag.
