I absolutely love this controller you cant beat it! I got one around 3 years ago and after about a year and half it got really bad stick drift whis is insanely annoying especially since its $180, you would think it wouldnt break but i guess not. Nonetheles, this is my second controller of it that im buying. Although this time i bought the warranty for it

Great controller, feels amazing in my hand every time I hold it, great battery life, love how I can customize it

Great controller, once you’ve played with back paddles you can’t go back. Easy to program on your console. I can honestly give it 5 stars because I don’t count the normal wear and tear of a controller. I get a new controller whenever the stick drift gets too unbearable which is around 18mos for this particular controller. Some of the more expensive controllers tend to wear out sooner than that.

Great high end controller recommend it to anyone not only great for Xbox but pc also and the paddles and exchangeable sticks and d-pad are nice and also Bluetooth's to your phone. Sturdy well built customizable controller

I need it a controller for a gift to my nephew and he loves it i try it my self and controller is fantastic

Very good product. Price was decent because of the sale. The customization and extra buttons definitely help with gaming performance

I know this is expensive, but you sure get what you pay for. Every facet of this controller announces quality, from the heavy feel, to the long battery life, to the charging cable and dock. It’s all in the details, and I can’t go back to a standard Xbox controller. I also now can’t go without the rear triggers which means I don’t need to click the sticks. I can’t wait to pair this with my Series X in November. I’m a both PS and Xbox gamer and find I play most multi-platform games on the Xbox because of this controller.

The best controller I’ve ever used! So good that I’ve replaced it multiple times just to keep one

Overall great product for long hours of gaming! Feels very sturdy and tough for accidental drops. Has interchangeable parts and excellent performance with no lag in input. Textured grips are very good when playing long hours.

We got our first one towards the end of last year to replace a failing Elite 1 controller. Unfortunately, the controller we got had the oft reported button problems. Upon return, it took almost a week to get the replacement. This one did work correctly. From a gameplay perspective, though, it is an excellent controller. Its programability is good. The paddles are a huge improvement over the original Elite. It feels better in the hand, as well. One big plus is that the hand grips are still solidly attached after almost a quarter of a year. On both prior Elites, they had started to peel off by this time. That is a great step forward. This is the best of the wireless controllers available. If you get it, though, I would STRONGLY recommend getting the Geek Squad extended warranty. For most purchases I would never get it. For the Elite controller, I promise you, you will need it eventually. At the very least, you will want to trade it in for a new one before the warranty expires. Then spend the few bucks for a warranty on the replacement. Just be warned, the price for that warranty has gone up a bit. That tells you something about the quality issues. Nevertheless, once you do get a good controller you will be quite happy with it. If you can use a wired controller, you might want to look at the Razer. If you need wireless, this is probably the best option. (I personally am not that fond of Scuff.)

red and black Xbox Elite Series 2 is a gem for any gamer seeking precision durability and style. Its striking design, premium build quality, and advanced features fully justify its reputation as one of the best controllers on the market.

Battery life is amazing with lightning fast response. Fits perfect in hand with quality feeling material. Game changer!

My 10yr old son what was the remote don’t think he’ll ever go back to the regular remote after having this one. He likes that you can change the joystick pieces to his comfort and the paddles on the bottom of the remote great. The battery last a long time I am usually charge it for him after three days of use I don’t think it’s ever been dead since he got it and when he plays on for a long time, so it’s definitely quality remote anybody who’s looking for a good remote definitely get this one.

Best Xbox controller fs. I’d recommend to anyone on PC or Xbox

Initially I was pained at the thought of buying a controller for this price. However, once I opened the box it became apparent to me just why the price was high; this controller is bulletproof. Amazing quality of materials, very very comfortable, incredibly customizable. This controller will last you years and years easily. Only downside is that it is not currently compatible with iPad. I stream my PC to my iPad for gaming, and was disappointed as a result. Amazing controller though!

The controller feels great and gives you a competitive advantage in FPS games. The only issue is that not longer after use, you get some stick drift and the bumpers feel like they’re going out. It’s too expensive to go out as quickly as it does.

I've been skeptical over the years in paying the hefty price for an elite controller, but finally jumped the gun when they announced the series 2... and I'm glad i did. This controller has great ergonomics and grip texture, along with a plethora of features and settings, including hair trigger settings, multiple sticks, mapping, 4 quadrant vibrating settings, e.t.c. well worth it if you are a competitive gamer. No problems with drifting so far. Love that you can adjust the tension of the sticks as well.. overall, a great product from Microsoft!

Easily the best controller for more competitive gamers. I purchased the Scuf before this, and was quite disappointed after the left joystick started sticking (not drift, just stuck in the down position) within 3 months of purchase. It was also a bit of a pain (and limited) to program the pads. Then I purchased the Elite S2, and what a difference it made. The magnetic, interchangeable joysticks are a breeze to swap (have to take the whole faceplate off the Scuf). The rear pads are programmable through the Xbox UI, offer more combinations to progrsm, and can save up to three independent configurations for different games or styles (a button on the controller lets you flip between the three without having to go through the UI). And the trigger adjustments are quick and easy to adjust on the fly. My only issue with this controller is stick drift, hence the markdown. While it did hold up well for 10-11 months, I had to send it in to Microsoft for a replacement at the 11th month (Best Buy didn't have any at the time). I did get a replacement after a little over a week, but it was equally bad, if not worse within two weeks. Fortunately, Best Buy had a resupply and I was able to get a new one. A near $200 controller should not fail like that in less than a year. I get that nothing lasts forever, but the gimbles should be better quality for a premium controller. That said, the S2 is worth the purchase if you are into more competitive gaming, however, buy the extended warranty. Will definitely be worth it in the long run.

Great controller definitely worth its price. Great for racing games and also FPS games. The ability to map the buttons and having different levels of trigger response makes a huge difference. The 4 extra paddles in the back are great to have shortcuts with certain games.

Great controller very sturdy and can adjust to your comfort it even comes with a little tool to loosen or tighten each stick and if you drop it they fall out instead of break it’s brilliant
