    This controller is great for playing xbox in a competitive way! My first series 2 had a few issues with bumpers, but now I have this one and it’s working great. I definitely suggest the geek squad protection to help with any shortages or stickiness to the buttons.

    Clean sexy controller , too bad Microsoft cheaped out and couldn’t add the additional paddles and accessories. If you go out and buy them separately you end up spending more than If you just bought the elite 2 controller

    This is the best controller i’ve ever had. I’ve been so hesitant to buy it but then I went out and bought it and man it’s amazing. Not only does it have a good comfortable grip while gaming, BUT it also gives you a bit of personalization. I get that it’s pricy but if you’re on the fence, I would definitely recommend.

    Really happy with the quality. The components are each mag based and they are extremely easy to swap out. My only negative comment is the lack of a dedicated screen capture button. It can be mapped as a shift function but i miss the single button ease of use. Otherwise it's a great controller for fighting games and FPS's like Destiny 2

    Personally, I prefer the Series 1, simply for reliability. The controller itself is high quality, fits well in the hands, and for PC gamers, the software is easy to use. I've owned two Series 2 controllers, and the first had stick drift after a couple months, and the most recent is having issues with a paddle functioning correctly. With warranty, it's a good call.

    When i saw this controller available AND discounted i did not hesitate. Several people have told me what a great peripheral this is and they weren't lying. Superb build quality, extra buttons, customization, rechargeable, beautiful, comfortable and precise!

    If you want a better controller than the already good Xbox controller, this is it. Any tech site you search will say the same thing. The biggest pros are 1. Thumbstick and paddles customization 2. Battery back up 3. Wireless charging 4. In built battery 5. Save 3 profiles The cons are 1. The price. This is too overpriced. Like, too much. I bought this in sale and still think it's pricey. Sucks. I don't have bottomless wallets. Maybe I am just whining. 2. Despite having apparently excellent build quality, durability still seems to be an issue as reported by various outlets. Please don't take my word for it. Do your research. 3. Wireless connection stutters when battery drops below 30%. This is jarring and makes me switch controllers while I charge this.
