    Exactly as advertised, a very versatile controller for XBox One with swappable joysticks and D-pad along with paddles and hair triggers on the back. Excellent battery life as well and comes with a great case to store the extra swappable parts, paddles, and charging station.

    Buy the warranty. This is my 3rd elite 2. Phenomenon controller but they get stick drift after months. The second one I bought did not even get much use and got it. Best Buy has been great with honoring the warranty at least.

    So far so good. The old elite 2s bumpers and paddles would go out on me playing fortnite competitively so hopefully these ones are more durable.

    Great Controller for playing on Xbox but with an asterisk. If you want to save your money get the protection plan as the controller will inevitably fail. I am on my 4th one now and so glad that I always get the protection plan.

    This controller feels nice and easy to use. I have not had any issues with it so far. All though this controller uses a rechargeable battery, the battery life on this controller is very good.

    its a great controller, the paddles will take a bit of getting used to, but you can remove them easily if you don't want to deal with them, personally I prefer the grip on the era 1 elite controller, but this one is still a great controller for competitive players

    Controller is great but tends to lag and joysticks get stuck sometimes but I’ve had it for almost two years and it’s been good so far after I fixed the joystick from being stuck

    One of the best controllers out there. I use this to game on PC and console and it works very well. The buttons are sleek and they dont get stuck like some cheaper controllers I have bought. Would definitely purchase again.

    Shame *ding-ding... SHAME

    Sick of it. Firstly, the stick tension is uneven. There is always one side that has more slack than the other, and there's a slight deadspace that is taken that you can feel it gently dragging before engaging the track pad. Secondly, the button registration. This was my 3rd try at the elite 2 since it came out and I'm done. The A button in particular (sometimes others as well) WILL NOT register soft presses that aren't directly over the button. They have curved buttons, it doesn't work out well. You have to Mash the buttons if you want consistency. If you play for hours at a time this starts to hurt your thumb joints. The buttons also have varying tension as well. The one I got had a stiff X button while the others weren't. Does that sound premium to you? Just stick with the regular controller. It's very reliable and was well tested before manufacturing, these not so much. They need to figure it out

    After many months (maybe years) of my brother telling me to get this I got to say, nope...no really, controller feels amazing, not $180+ dollars amazing tho, yes...mapping, customizing, interchangeable d-pads and joysticks, ja da ja da...still not be able to macro just doesn't do it for me, for example: if you want to map a L1+R1 in one button (paddle in my case) you can't do it, while cheaper options (like 8bitdo pro2 controller) can...I just can't fathom the price tag for just the way the controller feels...sorry, it's a no for me.

    I like the paddles but it took me time to get used to them. The controller has been disconnecting at random times every few days not sure if something is interfering with the signal. Overall I’m happy with my purchase.

      Hi there,

      We're glad that you're enjoying your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 for the most part. Random disconnects may occur for multiple reasons, including low battery and competing wireless devices. We recommend troubleshooting the problem with Xbox Support here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,
