Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the controller's exceptional overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. Users also frequently praise the device's comfortable grip, balanced weight, and high-quality tactile feel. However, some customers have expressed concerns regarding the durability of the buttons and bumpers, as well as the early onset of stick drift. Despite these technical frustrations and the premium price point, many still consider it a top-tier gaming accessory.

    GET A GEEK SQUAD WARRANTY! Awesome controller, but definitely has numerous quality control issues. I'm on my 5th Elite Series 2 controller. About to buy a new one, with a warranty right now so i have a backup Series 2 when mine gets back from Microsoft.

    This is my second elite 2 controller. The first one broke in less than one year and I didn't buy the best buy warranty. This time around I did. These controller have nice features but they tend to fall apart quickly.

    Controller feels great in the hands, has grips on the outer wings, controllable triggers as well as 4 programmable buttons on the back of the controller that are essentially easier ways of hitting X Y A B. Would definitely recommend!

    Inalready had the original v2. Decided to buy another and was able to get it for cheaper without all the accessories which i already had. So this is a perfect buy for those who alreay have one and all the accessories.

    The controller looked and felt great! To my disappointment it would constantly disconnect from the Xbox console... and some of the buttons would stick.. so I returned it. I’m hoping to buy another one soon that has these little bugs fixed. :)

    Probably Best you can get on the market. However, it’s really heavy, and kind of slippery. And a touch too small for my hands.

    I love this controller, the paddles are shorter than the series 1, so no more accidental presses if you set it down on the couch or something. Only small problem I had, was the rubber tips on the trigger adjustments kept falling off. Never affected performance or anything like that though.

    Love the new colors. Same performance/feel as the original Elite 2 but with a little more style. Highly recommend but based on my experience, it’s best to have the TotalTech or geek squad plans to protect it.
