    Controller was in excellent cosmetic condition, but unfortunately the Y and B face buttons were sticky and required firmer pushing to activate.

    Great purchase! I love this controller, I’ve owned many Xbox, (one and more than a few) Xbox Series x controllers and this is my favorite. I had the first elite controller years ago and I love how customizable it is and just has great responsiveness to it. The open box was a great buy and great condition. I can’t wait to see if I can find a monitor now!

    For being an open box buy, this controller works fantastic! Paddles on the back are fantastic for the extra control slots I use for multiple games. Snag one if you can!

    What an upgrade from an xbox one controller. A nice premium feel and easy to pair. Also huge bonus that you can adjust the analog sticks in case you have stick drift

    I have the gen 1 elite controller and everything working completely fine. Upgraded to see if any improvements were made and there definitely is. The trigger can be locked for shorter tension and their's 3 settings. Can create multiple settings for paddles behind controller. Love the charging dock can be charged in the case it came with. Battery life is long lasting and also thumbsticks tension can be adjusted which is good for FPS games. Also one big thing I recommend is customizing one of the paddles for SPRINT on the left thumbstick so you don't get drifting issues as I did with my elite gen 1 controller still going strong

      Hi there,

      Thank you for sharing what a good upgrade your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 has been for you. It's great to hear that you're a fan of its improved customization features and rechargeable battery. Setting one of the paddles to "sprint" in shooters and action games is an excellent suggestion, too! We hope you win a lot of online matches with it.

      Happy gaming,
      Chuck

    I was on the fence with this controller due to price and my inability to get used to the original elite controller with my short amount of time with it. Let me say, I have no regrets after 4 days with this one. The paddles are sized perfectly. Having large hands I had to grip my controller a bit differently in order to keep my hands from cramping, but the learning curve overall hasn’t been as bad as I’d imagined. I am significantly better at Apex legends now, and regularly make plays that I simply couldn’t with a normal controller. If you love gaming and take it even a little bit seriously, buy this controller, it is worth it.
