    Purchased this when I bought my new Xbox . I’ve always wondered if they were worth the money and I found out ! I LOVE IT !! Should have bought one years ago. Programming has stepped up my game and it’s very comfortable. Live the charging cradle / case.

    I know the price seems high for a controller, but I swear by this controller. The weight feels nice, the build quality feels great and I’ve had to stick drift or button issues. Love it

    I really like the inner rechargeable battery that's now inside, I am just hoping it last long. Or at least if it should stop working it doesn't during my 2 year Geek Squad protection. And the over button modifications are still a plus over a regular Xbox Controller. I just wish the price was a lot cheaper

    The battery life on this controller is great. I don't play games a lot but the stand by is great as well. The control it's takes some time to get use too. I like the fact that I can set up the controller is great. I play most driving games and I can adjust the buttons to be soft or hard on the toggle's.

    Wonderfully dynamic controller with the ability to customize how the player wants. I have the Series 2 controller and this one is compatible with all of the accessories. Perfect addition to my gaming setup.

    This controller is AMAZING! I am a long time console gamer, and about 2 years ago I built a gaming PC. Moving over to the keys took some getting used to but once I was comfortable with it, I swore I would never use a controller again. Fast forward to Elden Ring dropping and just seems like the game was MADE FOR controller. So I went and picked up the Xbox Elite and I was super impressed. The build quality is very good, the swappable sticks are all magnets and hold perfectly. The rear buttons also pop on and off without tools giving you the option to remove them if not in use. All of it is packaged in a great carrying case that can be left plugged in via USB C, allowing the controller to charge when in storage. If you are looking for a quality controller, and have been considered this one… BUY IT! You will not be disappointed.

    The customizability you have with this controller is INSANE. The application on the xbox allows for customization of anything from response curves, to completely changing button mapping. Love this controller, although, I haven't gotten better at any games.

    Yes, the price point of this controller is quite steep at first glance. But if you even know what an elite controller is/capable of doing, you realize its much cheaper than a custom Scuf with the same capabilities. I use mine for FPS games and couldn't be happier. Had Elite V1 and bought this, happy with both!

    Theres really wrong with this controller but i would say still get that 2 years protection plan from best buy since it does drift over time. I havent gotten that issue yet but it could drift so get that 2 years.

    The Elite Series 2 controller is an excellent alternative to the much more expensive Scuf Instinct controller. The only negative about this controller is the amount of stick drift you can get.

    Really nice to use, even without the additional back paddles. Only real flaw is there isn't a dedicated capture button. Would recommend if you can get it $30+ off.

    Using this on my PC to play Warzone. I haven't purchased any back triggers, but the regular trigger lock, the feel of the controller, and the custom settings in the PC software make it already worth it.
