    I didn’t think the controller was worth it. I decided to buy it with a coupon I found. After using it for a few hours and getting use to the extra controls I am not able to go back to a standard controller. This controller has helped me tremendously. I recommend this to anyone trying to get a slight advantage in game. Also no more batterys!!!

    Really high quality feel and everything it comes with and how you can adjust triggers and thumbsticks. You can also program the computer for custom profiles for button /paddle mapping. You can also choose a custom color for your center xbox logo to be and change brightness of the light and now order custom colors. This is an amazing controller. One of my few non-buyers remorse purchases for a video game PC player. It definitely made me better by not having to move thumbs from sticks.. must buy if you are in the market for premium controller.

    The Xbox Elite Series 2 controller is incredible! The build quality is top-notch, with customizable buttons and paddles that make gaming feel more precise. The rechargeable battery lasts a long time, and the adjustable tension sticks are a nice touch. Worth every penny for serious gamers!

    As the title says, “I should’ve got I w sooner.” My brother got one and kept telling me it was worth it even at regular price and I chose not to believe him. When they went on sale for $50 off I figured why not? And let me tell you that now it’s the only controller I use. Battery life is good and so is the build quality and customization on the button mapping! You won’t regret it!

    When you first pick it up you can feel how much better this controller is than a standard Xbox controller. The removable back paddles, adjustable trigger pull lengths, the interchangeable thumb sticks and D-pad, and the textured rubber grips all bring this controller to a level that’s hard to put into words. Yes, the price tag is a bit steep but with what this has for my gaming, I’ll continue to buy them as needed. I removed the bottom two (longer) back paddles because they were in the way based on how I hold the controller, but I don’t feel it has hurt my gaming and I don’t really miss them. They are very easy to remove as well. Reprogramming the back paddles is also wet easy. I highly recommend this controller!

    Didn't want the elite controller, because I have no need for the paddles. Being able to change the triggers and stick is amazing. Can also create different modes based on the current game you're playing. So if you dont mind the less equipment this controller comes with compared to the black elite controller. Its an Excellent!! Purchase!

    Definitely smoother than the regular controller. Has the back paddles and changeable thumb sticks but doesn't last you any longer and the normal controller. Buttons starting to not register when clicked and its been about 6.5 months of regular use. Also rechargable. Would be 5 stars had it lasted long and the normal one

    incredible controller with a huge flaw

    this controller is amazing, the build quality, materials, buttons, everything is very solid. however there is a massive flaw in the design. the sticks cannot be clicked in while tilted at an angle, I read online this was a common issue and can be fixed by unscrewing the stick counter clock wise slightly, however if you do this just 1mm too much it will be lose and freely spin, and tightening it will result in the same issue being unable to click the stick in. the solution for this was to take the controller faceplate off which is very annoying to do and held down but pointless adhesive and put a .5mm thick 4mm inner diameter jump ring around the stick and then screw the stick back on. the process is very annoying for an almost $200 controller when ms knows the issue and refuses to redesign such a simple fix, but it now feels perfect

    Absolutely worth every doller, its very responsive with its adjustible setting for the triggers to the wireless charging dock that fits in the pro controller case. I use it almost daily wen I play online, from racing games to first shooter games,RGB games as well it works perfect with all games. I would recommend this controller to anyone who enjoys using high quality controller.

    As someone who has played the original Xbox, I gotta say that this, this is the best feeling and responsive controller I've ever felt. Feels premium to something that you're used to. Can't wait to use it for other games since I recently build my PC. Now, i'm going to play Halo: Master Chief Edition to reminisce on childhood experiences.
