    Feels good in my hands and has a nice weight to it. This was a replacement for a series one elite that had worn out in a number of ways long before it should have for what I paid. I'm concerned the series 2 will be showing the same wear within the same time period, but decided to take a chance anyway. I guess time will tell. Some third-party controllers have the same weight but simply don't have the same feel as the authentic Microsoft elite controllers, which is why I bit the bullet and went ahead and bought another one despite thinking the last one wore out way too fast for the price point.

    This is the best controller I've used I still think the xbox 360 has a better feel though cause I can put both index and middle finger on both hands on the bumper and trigger comfortably not worth the elite 2 I use both on my right hand and only my index on the left besides that the adjustable sticks is amazing I bought it new and I'm not experiencing any issues with it like stick drift so that might be the used but I think you can remove stick drift on the Microsoft accessories app I use it for mobile gamelan latency is low so it's real responsive bumper paddles work great as well.

    After playing with standard controllers all my life, I thought it was time to splurge for a high quality controller, and I was not disappointed. This controller just feels so solid and well constructed. Adjusting and swapping out buttons is a breeze and the charging dock eliminates having to constantly worry about batteries. Everything fits perfectly in the case for easy transport and protection. There is extensive custization with the button mapping and different colors for the home button. It does cost a lot more than standard controllers, but it is well worth the higher price point for dedicated solo gamers.

    Best premium xbox controller without the Hall effect joysticks. The materials that dampened the plastic cheap feel. Iconic xbox controller hand position. Not worth the regular price. Wait for a sale or open box.

    Works great, feels good, I really like adjustable tension for the thumbsticks it keeps that fresh controller feel. Really wish this color scheme came with the paddles though.

    good controller with nice weight to it but unfortunately microsoft makes it using cheap lego material. ive had to return this thing like 5 times and now the warranty has expired and i dont want to buy another. bumpers go out first and fast and grips peel bad after a while. getting beat down in games because left and right bumpers dont work.

    It’s a decent controller: had good weight, feels better than original. Experience a little stick drift right from new but I’m a casual gamer so it is what it is..

    Dont be fooled, the core Elite 2 is the same as the Elite 2 as far as build quality and functionality. This is missing the additional sticks, back paddles, carrying case and small portable battery with the last two being superficial. This is great to replace an older elite where you still have all the old accessories or if you plan purchase the addition components from amazon to customize your controller (they have plenty of good options). Connects great to a pc, phone or TV with little to no latency if you use it as a bluetooth controller. Wired to an Xbox or PC its flawless. I will say at this price be sure to purchase the warrenty to cover any accidents for 2yrs. Worth it.
