Good controller if you get one with no issue.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great controller if you get one without issues. I have owned several elite controllers from Xbox. The original that I had zero issues with, and 2 elite series 2 that I had to return a combined 11 times to get one defect free. I got lucky with the core controller but keep in mind it is just that. You only get the controller you get no add one that make it a “pro” controller. I would recommend this at $100 or less not full price. Than just buy the add ones from amazon don’t get the Xbox licensed ones. Get the less expensive ones that are the same quality. Than you get a great controller at a value.

Overall, I am very satisfied with this product.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I want to share my positive experience with the Xbox controller I recently purchased. It is incredibly convenient, customizable, and easy to use. I particularly appreciate the ability to choose a D-pad that suits the game I'm playing, rather than being limited to a single cross or round pad. The round pad works best for fighting games, while the cross D-pad is ideal for older games where diagonal movement isn't necessary. Using it on my Windows PC has been seamless; it connected instantly without any issues. The availability of downloadable software to customize the back paddles is also a significant plus. While I personally haven't used this feature, it's definitely super useful for accessibility and for those who need it.

Good controller for PC or XBox
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great controller, long battery life and easily customizable. If you can look past the price I would say this is the best controller out for PC as far as battery life, Bluetooth connectivity, and versatility

Better than Scuf
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had this controller for about 3 weeks nlw with no issues at all. I have also owned at least two scuf controllers and each scuf controller had issues at least 1 week aster use. This controller sensitivity is excellent and the adjustable triggers makes it great for Call of Duty and Warzone. The back paddles uses an app to configure them how you would like and is a very easy to use. This controller quality wise is better than any scuf or console controller i have ever used. I use this for my PC and dont own an Xbox Series X or S although for PC this controller is a beast. For quality this controller beats anything out right now. I know that PS is coming out with its own controller with back paddles, but from early reports is going to be significantly more expensive than this controller. If the Elite controller ever starts experiencing issues, i may give the PS controller a try.

Wonderful controller
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was a big fan of the elite series one controller and for those who are the same I will leave these comparisons if you're trying to make a decision on whether to buy the new one. The grip has changed from the soft touch to a more textured rubber. I'm not as big of a fan of it but that will be personal preference. The paddles have been improved, previously The originals were so large that I would usually take two off because they would get in the way. They have now shrunk them and shaped them in such a way that I can comfortably hold the controller while leaving all four on. The shape of the controller is still the original and not the newer design of the series X, which is unfortunate because I believe the series X style is a more comfortable fit. There's also no new share button and the profile button cannot be programmed to become the share button. I have yet to experience any stick drift or any of the other common problems that seem to occur with the elites. However, I have only owned this for a month and I never experienced any of those problems on my original. Overall, I believe if you were a fan of the original Elite you will be a fan of the series two.

Great quality, worth the extra
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very responsive in comparison to many other gamepads I have used. Very solid feel. Fully charged battery seems to last forever. Have played over 10 hours and the bluetooth monitor shows that I am still around 90%. Works well with the bluetooth module built into my MSI X570 Tomahawk motherboard. Worth the extra you pay. Pros: Responsive and wider turning in Need for Speed, Dirt and other racing games. Long battery life Adjustable sticks (comes with the screw driver to increase the tension) Works well with Bluetooth Charges via USB C connector Cons: Really none except to get the extra paddles and sticks you have to purchase the accessories kit

Bet Controller...Period!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wow! When you open the box and pick up the controller for the first time you will notice the difference right away. It just feels right in your hands and works well. The extreme customization is amazing. I love being able to switch from Forza to CoD with the press of a button. Its expensive but totally worth it for dedicated gamers. Battery life is unreal!

ALMOST perfect
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 is frustrating because it’s so close to being the perfect controller. The build quality feels premium, the customization options are excellent, and the adjustable sticks and triggers make it one of the best-feeling controllers Microsoft has ever made. When it works, it’s genuinely fantastic. The problem is durability. The rear paddles/buttons never felt quite as solid or responsive as they should at this price point, and eventually stick drift became impossible to ignore. That completely killed the long-term value for me. I ultimately switched to a Razer controller instead because it feels beefier, sturdier, and more dependable during long gaming sessions. That said, I still think Microsoft is very close. If an eventual Series 3 improves the rear button design and finally solves the drift issues, it could easily become the best premium controller on the market. As it stands now, it’s a strong controller held back by reliability concerns, which is why I can only give it 3 stars.

Best controller I’ve ever used!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Simply put, this is the best controller I’ve ever used. I love all of the customizations that can be made between the stick tensions, trigger locks, button mapping and multiple profiles. Love the rechargeable battery and the long charging cord. Only con would be the price. Wish it was about $40-0 less expensive. But no other controller can compare. Love it!

Best controller for PC.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had this for a few weeks now and I used it with my PC. I think is literally the best controller you can get for PC. Feels really premium and has a lot of customization. I love the fact it has rechargeable battery lasts quite a bit. Size and weight is also perfect for my taste. Everything about it feels premium. I would definitely recommend it.

Greatest Xbox one controller up to day yet!!!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I honestly like this xbox one wireless elite 2 controller because it's a really comfortable gaming controller and comes with a carry case and different joystick removable sticks that you can swap out as needed. Great customization to this controller and it offers hours of play in which you can charge it up. It comes with wire usb.

Best controller ever
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great controller had one before but used it till it was on its last leg, was originally recommended by a friend, makes gameplay 10x more elite (ahhh see what I did there). Still bad at the game and miss 80% of my shots but it’ll take a different players gameplay to the next level

Solid PC controller. Buy the Xbox adapter.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m not a pro-gamer, and I know my PC gaming wasd breathen might look down their collective noses at an “elite controller,” but this has been a super worthwhile purchase for a few reasons (coming from an Xbox/pc controller that had the gold texture grips and AA batteries): 1) rechargeable battery is so much better than the removable AA. Charge lasts WAY longer. 2) USB-C, because in 2021 ain’t no got time for usb-a (a long and successful life). 3) I find the wireless response time to be much better than previous controller. Quick note: I have an usb Xbox wireless adapter, never in my life have I been able to get any controller working over just Bluetooth. Save yourself a headache and get the wireless adapter if you’re using this with Windows. 4) The weight is perfect, you could use it to club someone with if you have to but that’s because of the density, not because it’s a massive lead weight. Hands feel great wielding this bad boy. Yeah it’s not cheap, but you know where the money went when you hold it in your hand.

Worth the extra moolah
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller has been working so much better than the $60 controllers that i kept buying. Paying more for the elite series not only lasts longer but it provides a much smoother experience and quick reaction time. Also, thumbstick is metal so it doesnt scrape plastic off like the other ones.

The white is not my fortay but the quality of it feels great. Being able to adjust the tension of the sticks makes it easy for FPS Games. Definitely going to buy another, but in a different color!
