    Works exactly as I desired for my gaming PC. Bluetooth connects to the PC and Steam games are playable like a dream. When needing to charge, I can plug it in with the included USB cable and charge while playing.

    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.

    DIY Project

    Girl, I love the controller but it has the same unfortunate problem in the last Elite Controller. I will give the first released Elite Controller props as the pealing didn’t start until 4 years into having it with HEAVY use. (Black ops 3 and 4 bb). On the second series, the rubber started to peel in a much shorter time than the first series. I’d say within 6 months to a year. Something new for me was the RB button would sometimes not read my presses during in game or a single press in a game menu would skip over multiple options versus just moving over one. It’s sad because I know these things can be fixed by the good ol’ DIY and I don’t mind taking these things apart, but at this point, they should just have parts readily available for the user to replace. Make the controller customizable from the jump to lessen the pain of having to find reliable parts or sending the controller back to probably just get a refurbished one back. Idk… Besides that, it’s really pretty and I do love the updated options that come on this model. I do see the love and hope to see these issues fixed in the future.

    Probably the best Xbox One/Series X 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 Even once it's paired and then you use wired once, it's as if the pairing is automatically outdated and the controller no longer recognizes the PC through bluetooth.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!

    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.

    The GOAT

    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.

    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!

    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.
