    This controller, along with the paddles, takes gaming to another level. If you play any FPS, I recommend buying this controller as you can fine tune the entire controller to your liking.

    Is there much more to say? Its the best. It blows the Dualsense edge out of the water. Not like youre cross shopping the 2 controllers if you have an xbox but the Elite controller 2 is the best controller for the XSX by far.

    Hands down the best controller for the Xbox

    Pricy, but worth it if you spend a significant amount of time on the console. Sized and weighted perfectly 9may be small for those with large hands, though)! Paddle controls can take some getting used to and will occasionally cause issues with unintended hits on a given paddle. Swappable user controls and configurability are outstanding!

    My box Elite Series 2 controller is my favorite controller. I can setup the buttons how I want, and the paddle buttons on the rear make gaming much easier since I don’t have to remove my fingers from the control sticks to perform actions, which speeds up reactions. A must have accessory.

    I ordered an XBox Elite controller online for a Christmas gift and it was ready to pick up less then 2 hours later at my local Best Buy store. Once i went into the store. I was waited on immediately, got the controller within 2 mins. No hassel or anything. Great overall experience and I will continue to order my electronics from Besy But. Excellent self help and customer service. An this is not the dirst time.

    I’ve read some mixed reviews out there, but my experience with this controller has been nothing but enjoyable. It is a very solid, durable feeling controller, the sticks are great and so are the buttons. I haven’t used some of the more advanced features this controller has to offer yet, but my first impressions are overall very positive!

    Nice feeling controller but does suffer from either stick drift or sticking buttons. Get the best buy warranty and every year or 2 and you can just get a new one for i think $50

    I don't know anything about games or controllers, but my child loves it. He tells me that with this controller he was able to play better which gives him an advantage to win the games and it saves me from buying batters. He also said that he can play and charge while using it. Battery life last for hours.
