    Always great products at great prices. This Xbox Elite 2 controller is the greatest gaming controller out as you can tweak everything to your liking which is perfect as gaming isn't a 1 size fits all when it comes to controller and tension on buttons, triggers and joysticks.

    Like the heavier remote. Wish you could map out the extra buttons for more potential controls like mapping a PC keyboard. Previous owner clearly was hard on their equipment on even refurbished value was 3/5, maybe.

    Good upgrade from gen 1 elite controller

    I have the gen 1 elite controller and everything working completely fine. Upgraded to see if any improvements were made and there definitely is. The trigger can be locked for shorter tension and their's 3 settings. Can create multiple settings for paddles behind controller. Love the charging dock can be charged in the case it came with. Battery life is long lasting and also thumbsticks tension can be adjusted which is good for FPS games. Also one big thing I recommend is customizing one of the paddles for SPRINT on the left thumbstick so you don't get drifting issues as I did with my elite gen 1 controller still going strong

      Hi there,

      Thank you for sharing what a good upgrade your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 has been for you. It's great to hear that you're a fan of its improved customization features and rechargeable battery. Setting one of the paddles to "sprint" in shooters and action games is an excellent suggestion, too! We hope you win a lot of online matches with it.

      Happy gaming,
      Chuck

    I was on the fence with this controller due to price and my inability to get used to the original elite controller with my short amount of time with it. Let me say, I have no regrets after 4 days with this one. The paddles are sized perfectly. Having large hands I had to grip my controller a bit differently in order to keep my hands from cramping, but the learning curve overall hasn’t been as bad as I’d imagined. I am significantly better at Apex legends now, and regularly make plays that I simply couldn’t with a normal controller. If you love gaming and take it even a little bit seriously, buy this controller, it is worth it.

    Great price for an Elite Series Controller

    I just bought the controller a few days ago and so far, so good. This controller targeted for users that previously owned an Elite Series 2 controller. They are basically selling you the controller without the paddles and case. So, if you start getting stick drift in your remote and can't no longer play without using an elite like me, this controller is for you. The quality of the remote is just a bit cheaper but for the price it can't be beat.
