    Great controller it for daily use for sure. This is my second one I bought since my daughter has spilled fluids and beat it up. But even then the controller lasted for 2 years before I had major issues with it

    A Hefty Controller

    While I don't really think it's worth the full price, I got it on sale and used certificates to lower its cost even further, it's definitely an awesome controller. It's a solid, good-weighted controller. The grip texture around the entire grips is great. It just feels really good in your hands. Being able to tighten the tension on the control sticks, swapping out the sticks or the D-Pad for the other ones, all super easy to do. My one complaint is the lack of the share button the newer Series X/S controllers have. Since I got this after having one of those controllers, I definitely notice it missing. If they would patch an update to be able to remap the "preset switch" button to be the share button, this would be the perfect controller in my opinion, but for those who don't use the share button that often it's already at that perfect level.

    Can't say enough about this controller, it's just awesome! I'm normally a PS guy, however bought a Series X and this controller is the only controller someone should use. It changed the way I game 100%. If you're concerned about the price, don't be it is worth it.

    This series 2 Elite controller blows the series 1 away on all accounts. Far and away the BEST controller I have ever used. I had one issue with this (the series 1 had many). The first one I got had some issues with the "A" button but exchanged it no problem and its been nothing but awesome since.

    It's super comfortable to hold, with a great ergonomic design that allows for extended gaming sessions without any discomfort. The buttons are responsive and perfectly placed, providing precise control over your games. The thumbsticks give just the right amount of resistance, offering smooth and accurate movement. And let's not forget about the rumble feature that adds an extra layer of immersion to your gaming experience. Whether you're playing action-packed shooters or engaging in fast-paced sports games, the Xbox controller delivers unmatched performance. It's a must-have accessory for any serious gamer!

    The xbox elite series 2 controller is a lot more comfortable to hold then the original elite controller. The controller comes with it's own charging base and the controller has a built in rechargeable battery and bluetooth. It's an all around great controller.

    Great new elite colorway. Doesnt come with charging case or paddles but I found these useless on my first elite. I usually just charge it with the cord and buy colored paddles off of amazaon anyways (20$ for colored paddles)

    Best Controller on the Market

    I cant stress how amazing this controller is. Ive owned Xbox since the OG and after getting a PS5, the Dualshock 5 was so good it left me wanting more on xbox. Boy did this controller deliver... The Quality is unmatched, from the rubberized grips to the metal swappable dpad and not to mention the suuuper satisfying magnet when you click in new Thumbsticks of all lengths, sizes, and feeling. The ability to press ABXY without lifting off the thumbstick(and adjust the resistance of said thumbsticks) is an absolute gamechanger(or any other button with the Mappable Paddles). It doesn't end there, i love the hair triggers on this controller. You have the full pull, like a standard controller, or a medium setting and my personal favorite, just a little tap. The piece de resistance is the case it comes with THAT HAS A BUILT IN DOCK AND W/ USB C PLUG BEHIND THE CASE. For those wondering if the money is worth it, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED

    Overall, a really good controller. The grips are much better. The even smaller hair trigger is awesome, and I really love the tension adjustable sticks. Cons: The stick are slightly wobbly out the box. The controller seems to disconnect from the xbox every now and then for no reason.

      Hey there,

      It's great to hear that you're enjoying the improved grip and responsiveness of your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. Random disconnects can occur for multiple reasons, including low battery and competing wireless devices. We recommend troubleshooting the problem with Xbox Support here: https://aka.ms/AA4w2z7
