    I use this controller just about every day. The controller is well built and has not had any problems so far. The customization you can do to this controller with such ease is impressive and give you a whole different experience with first person shooters. I recommend this controller to anyone who wants a well built user friendly controller.

    This controller is amazing! I was very skeptical about spending so much money on a controller but it was well worth the money! Smooth, programmable, and works flawlessly i would recommend to anyone.

    This controller is pricey, but if you play a lot the cheaper controllers end up breaking. The charging dock is a great feature, and one that 1st gen elites didn’t have. They have also added paddles (4 total vs the 2 on the first gen). All in all a very solid feeling controller for the serious gamer.

    Battery life is awesome. Played most of the weekend and still had half life in the battery. Adjustment of the left and right triggers gives an advantage on fps games.

    Amazing upgrade from the original Xbox controller. I love it! The paddles keep my thumbs on the sticks where they belong! The ability to adjust the trigger is amazing! Love the fact I can plug it into my PC and game with it on there too!

    Overall, a really good controller. The grips are much better. The even smaller hair trigger is awesome, and I really love the tension adjustable sticks. Cons: The stick are slightly wobbly out the box. The controller seems to disconnect from the xbox every now and then for no reason.

      Hey there,

      It's great to hear that you're enjoying the improved grip and responsiveness of your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. Random disconnects can occur for multiple reasons, including low battery and competing wireless devices. We recommend troubleshooting the problem with Xbox Support here: https://aka.ms/AA4w2z7

      Hope that helps,

    Fantastic controller! A little bit heavier than the original xbox controller, but got used to it quickly. Additional buttons can be easily changed on the xbox controller settings. Would recommend 100/10.

    The only issue i've had it has been the joy stick loosing its chrome a little bit from rubbing on the ring where it sits, but thats an issue of all controllers and i can easely replace the magnetic joy stick.

    My grandson dropped it the first day, and buttons fell off -- but the surprise was when the buttons easily reattached magnetically.
