    Controller has a lot more customization in terms of thumbstick height and trigger actuation. Also comes with a nice carrying case. Very good quality controller with a premium feel. Only con is that it is quite expensive.

    I bought it when it has sell. I’m very happy with it, premium built. Feel comfort holding in my hand, easily to reach out all the buttons. Doesn’t make my hand sweet for long time gaming. It would be perfect if it comes with the paddles

    amazing product, due to the fact of personal customization for each game and the interchangeable d-pads, paddles, and thumb sticks, i love the fact i can change them out when im switching games and switching my play style. i personally am a multi gamer, and i switch out my games constantly so im always changing my play styles and switching pieces on my controller. i do highly recommend this product.

    The elite controller is great, I've had a couple of series 1 and 2. I would recommend the protection plan, the controller will break in some capacity, all pro controllers are infamous for this, whether it be stick drift, grips pealing, broken bumpers, or broken charging port, something will eventually go wrong with it.

    Best Gaming Controller

    I love the feel of the controller. Its comfortable and grips well in hand. This is the perfect controller for first-person shooter games with the additional paddles in the back, and the adjustable triggers. Utilizing the additional paddles takes a few hours to get use to, but once you do, It is hard to use any other controller. Also the addition of a carrying case, extra swappable pieces, and portable charger make this controller worth the price tag. I was skeptical at first, but glad i invested in this controller which will be my primary gaming controller for many years.

    Great controller. It has a great feel and weight to it. The grip on this is much better than the original model. No such drift as of yet, so fingers crossed

    The microsoft elite controller 2 is the best controller Ive owned! The grip on the handle is very comfortable, the adjustable triggers and joysticks make it the most personalized controller out there currently!! It’s rechargeability is exactly what XBOX has been missing all these years!! The controller may be a little pricey but in comparison to the stock controller, this controller blows it out of the water!!

    When you pick up this controller quality is the first thing you feel. You know this is what you paid for. The heaviness, the quality, the perfect textured grip shows the Xbox took this controller to the next level. Even better than the first generation of this controller. Then to top it off, you can add custom button mapping to Each button even change the color of the Xbox logo. Everything from customization to mapping is just a nice touch.

    Been using these controllers for years and they never disappoint i can be rough on my controllers sometimes and its held up extremely well form all the drops squeezing and carelessness i have towards it gave me a solid 2 years without needing to get it replaced. (Only replacing because i dropped it down my stair case and the trigger got stuck but after some tinkering its all good now)
