    I love this elite controller. When I saw it, i knew i just had to get it. The color scheme is so dope and so much better than the black one. This controller come with so the extra paddles and stuff but you can go on Amazon and buy the whole set with the case, charging base and and the paddles/thumb sticks. If you want a different feel and look, i would definitely recommend

    This controller was a great investment battery lasts practically for a few days on a full charge no drifting issues and if there was the special tool allowes tightening to cancel it out I highly recommend to all who needs a worthwhile controller “WONT DISAPPOINT”

    The Elite Series 2 is an amazing controller. The adjustment and customization lets you dial in the controller for each game and your personal play style.

    Honestly other than the stick drift that happens to all controllers eventually this is the best xbox controller. I would recommend you get the warranty with any new controller. I would have given it five stars but that stick drift is a nuisance.

    If ur a Gamer u will love this controller I certainly do. I have to say the two best things are being able u switch the joy sticks to a bigger size with sting magnetic seal so u don't have to worry about it just popping off, Makes a big difference when playing games like Call of duty or fortnite. The other thing is the built-in battery with type c charger. No more changing batteries or having to buy a battery pack, plus it lasts much longer than any thing out there.

    The first Xbox elite controller would get stick drift in under a month. This Elite series 2 controller lasted for 1 year and a couple months before getting stick drift! I highly recommend purchasing geek squad protection so when stick drift happens you can get a replacement. These controllers are usually not kept in stock in stores so you will have to place an order and wait for it to arrive. The price tag is high but I feel it’s worth it for this series of the elite controller.

    Amazing, best controller on the market, I owned the previous elite and used on my PC. I now have a series x and wanted another controller to stay with that system, everything on this new controller is upgraded and just a little better then the previous model. Love that the battery pack is now integrated and come with a wireless charging cradle. Got my series 2 on Sale at Best Buy for same price I paid for my original elite despite upgrades.

    Best controller ever. I've used the series 1 and other normal controllers. These one is hands down amazing. Grip around the whole thing. Rechargeable battery that can dock inside the case with the charger coming in through the back. Adjustment tool to loosen or tighten the sticks. 1/4 pull on the triggers instead of a half pull. Whole thing feels sturdy with a nice weight to it. How many normal controllers have you purchased? 2 or 3? Could of bought this and definitely should. Stop buying crappy controllers.
