    The battery is just amazing. Also you can change the color on the controller where the xbox logo is. The weight is just perfect and the customizing is endless. Worth the buy

    Finally a remote that fits perfectly in my hands. Removable paddles on the bottom make it where your hands never leave the remote. Adjustable triggers are also a plus.

    Hands down the best!! Out of all the controllers I’ve used the elite series 2 beats them all! Vastly improved from the series 1. Heavy feel in your hand, superior battery life, fully rubberized, interchangeable control sticks which the tension can also be adjusted, trigger tension can also be adjusted. 4 additional triggers can be added although I don’t use them because the way I grip the controller I accidentally press them sometimes, so you can conveniently remove them or only use the ones you want. Multiple users can be saved to the controller for different configurations as well. Highly recommend paying for the geek squad protection plan, as it is a replacement plan. So if ANYTHING at all ever goes wrong with it they will replace it with a brand new one. My sticks started drifting so I brought it in and they replaced it with no questions asked, they were out of stock so they just shipped it to my home and had it in 2 days.

    Yeah it's expensive. However, in this case the extra cost bring extra value. I've tried several controllers near this price range and this is undoubtedly the best. The extra paddles are the real thing and if you're into mmos or even FPS on console this will be a real asset. It just feels solid in your hand. Too many positives to list.

    I have had many different brands of controllers and this is by far the best one yet. I own an elite and many scuff and I believe there is no comparison. The elite two is rechargeable with three settings for trigger stops and perfect grip and balance even better then the first elite. Great job!

    Love the weight, accessories, swappable thumbsticks. Long battery life. My only complaint or nitpick would be the non- removable battery for long term purposes. I recommend getting geeksquad protection for that reason.

    The Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller for Xbox is easily one of the best controllers you can buy if you’re serious about gaming. It feels substantially more premium than a standard Xbox controller, with a comfortable, thoughtful design that’s built to last and enhance your play.

    The Xbox controller is comfortable to hold, with responsive buttons and triggers that enhance gameplay. Its ergonomic design fits nicely in the hands, and the wireless connectivity provides flexibility during gaming sessions. The only issues ive found with the controller is that it gets stick dift within months of use.Overall, it's a solid choice for gamers and it fits the hands comfortably.

    Good when brand new, stick drift happens on either left or right thumb stick after a few months of use. BestBuy makes it easy to exchange broken defective items with their pro plan without any hassle.

    The swappable thumbsticks, D-pad, and paddles allow for a highly customizable experience, catering to different play styles which was the main reason I made this purchase. I truly enjoy using this controller and I can’t wait to see what Microsoft does to the next generation of it.

    Okay, so I've never had an elite style controller before, but after awkwardly attempting to multitask in games with a regular controller, i decided to bite the bullet and buy this thing. The last two controllers i had were regular and didn't last long. I've only had it for about a week but it is AMAZING. The extra controls allow me to do multiple things at once and I don't think I'll ever go back to a basic controller. This works flawlessly. It feels great in your hands, customization is a breeze, and mapping is very easy. The battery lasts a really long time, too. I fully charged it before using it and I play around 12hrs a day, and the battery life barely lost a bar after a week. I know these are notorious for having issues, but mine has none. I will only update my review if I start to have issues. I received it on 5/17/2020, so if I haven't updated with any issues, you can safely assume it's still working perfectly! Highly recommend!!
