    This totally changes the comfort of playing Xbox, this is probably one of the best purchases I’ve made in awhile. Blows the series 1 out of the water.

    I will say this controller is perfect in every way and you'll pay a premium for it. I've used mine for 3 years now and its held up pretty well. I did have to take it apart and follow a tutorial on cleaning the insides specifically the right bumper. It was a pretty simple fix and works like new just need some 90+ alcohol rubbed on the bumper contacts.

    I own several gaming console controllers and would say that this is by far my favorite gaming controller. Better than the original elite controller.

      Hi there,

      We're absolutely thrilled that you consider the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 to be the best controller you've ever had. If you don't want to use the back paddles, it's easy to remove them and store them for later use. For more information, please go here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/controller/get-to-know-elite-series-2

      Hope that helps,

    I am very disappointed, to say the least, with the Elite Series 2 after my purchase of the controller and warranty for far too much money, especially at the $200 price point BEFORE WARRANTY, and I Honestly Feel that you're paying Solely for the Products Brand Name at this point sadly and these reasons are justified, at leaset to myself, due to firstly how Heavy and Big the controller is and feels, where the paddles are located while in a terrible position especially if using all 4 paddles like I do for games like COD as they are too long making it impossible to fully grip the controller without pushing the paddles down rendering both useless literally laugh out loud when your hands are sweaty or in a tense battle or game like even Fifa where I like to use the top two paddles in replace of the L1 and R1 triggers so that I can dribble and control how fast I move/sprint easier all the while still being able to move and shoot with my hands on all the buttons necessary, and lastly the feel of the thick hand grips and meshy buttons that can get stuck at any moment, I mean come on these buttons should be a mechanical by now on such an expensive controller for the Tactical and overall feel, so I'd Greatly advise trying out the Razor Chroma v2, if you don't mind wired giving you 10 ft to reach any distace especially for competitive gameplay, as the only issue with these Razor Chroma v2 Controllers in the past was not being able to adjust the analog stick sensitivity and fixing any possible stick drift but now that Razor have fixed that within the app while being able to adjust from the default analog stick sensitivity at 4 down to 2 makes these Chroma v2 Razor controllers Absolutely Perfect giving you the most precise movement I've Ever felt on a Gaming Controller and now Easily eclipsing The Elite's with this Much Needed Fix, while also feeling so much lighter and comfortable due to the textued hand grips and mechanical buttons like a PC, and finally a much better paddle feel and placement then the Elite Series 2 as the paddles are sturdier and more cenralized on the back of the controller making them easy to reach due to the controller being smaller then the Elite and also out of the way so you can fully grip the controller when switching to competitive from casual gameplay and at nearly half the price it is completely worth it as I've converted all of my friends to them who enjoy them much more then the Elite's Overpriced Controller.

    I bought this to use as my controller while outputing the video of my Legion Go to my large screen TV and it works well. I was a little bummed that this "core" kit does not come with a case or any of the extra metal buttons but i can always buy them later if I feel I need them. This kit does cone with a very long USBC braided cable.

    I bought this item less than a month ago and it already has stick drift. Pretty disappointing. It’s not a major issue right now as the stick drift isn’t too severe and I mostly play games where I’m always using the stick, but on games where it’s left untouched for a little bit it’s quite annoying. For $180 I’m pretty disappointed that it already has this issue since cheap $20 dollar controllers have gone for years without issue.

    Best Controller Out, Beware Of Issue

    By far the beat controller across all consoles. Even better than Scuf in my opinion, although I know this was made in partnership with Scuf. The app on Xbox makes it a lot easier than manually setting the paddles. Recommended an extended warranty. This is my second elite series 2. I bought the first one Nov 2019 upon release, experienced left thumbstick drift after 4 months, only a 90 day warranty. Paid $100 to have Microsoft fix and bought a new one with the extended warranty, because playing Cod with a regular controller doesn’t feel right anymore.
