    Very much worth the extra money to upgrade from a standard controller. It feels better, works better, and lasts longer. No signs stick drift in the first year. That alone is worth some money. But the feeling of the upgraded parts, especially the metal thumbsticks (instead of plastic), makes playing more enjoyable.

    Highest quality controller I've ever had

    I had recently bought the Xbox elite controller as well as the PlayStation Pro and the Xbox elite controller is far superior in quality, feel, and it came with an awesome (also high quality) magnetic charging unit that you can dock the controller on when not in use. I don't want to use any controller other than the Xbox elite- which I use for my PC. This luxury controller truly feels as such. 10/10. Don't hesitate to buy.

    This is a colorful and durable gaming controller. It is very responsive to my pc games. Comfortable in the palm of my hands, and it was simple to get up and running quickly.

    I had bought this controller when it first came out and decided to get a 2nd one for my 2nd xbox series x. It's definitely a major upgrade from the elite series 1 controller. The rubber grips are better and I love how I'm able to change the tension on the thumb sticks. The quality is excellent. The ease of use is excellent. Very easy to set up and update and map the buttons to your liking. My only con about this controller is that's it's a little more expensive than the original elite controller with only a couple of upgrades. I would definitely recommend this to any hardcore or pro player.

    Size and grips on the controller feel great. Paal shifters on the bottom perfect placement have been using elite controllers for a few years now one of the best controllers I’ve ever had. I prefer an elite controller over a scuff.

    Scooped this on a December sale, bought the paddles from elsewhere for $14. I've since retired my razer wolverine in favor of this. I was skeptical, but this is a really nice controller. Wirelessly connected to PC via Bluetooth, and it runs for hours in between charges.

    This is a fantastic controller. I recently upgraded from having the base controllers and I am very happy with the built in battery that keeps me from either blowing through batteries or buying a battery pack and forgetting to charge the batteries. The controller feels very solid and well made in hand and the textured grip is awesome for when I get Sweaty hands

    I have a pc and a ps5. The reason why that is important is because the ps5 controller dies really fast and has rough support on pc BUT the elite 2 controller has a really long battery life, so much so that i forget it needs to charge. It also interfaces seamlessly with my computer and has plenty of customability with profules for whatever game i am playing at the time

    The best controller out there, but be sure to get a service plan. I've had a few Elites and all but one have had an issue where one of the bumpers stops responding. Other than that it's by far the best controller for PC and for Xbox, obviously.

    Controller feels comfy in your hand more so than v1. Customize it your away . It feels smaller and I love the built I charger post as well. I would have felt more warm and fuzzy if price was a bit less.

    Absolutely amazing controller, i made the switch from a regular xbox controller to this one and i an not disappointed. The quality is so nice and love that it's so customizable. Does take some getting used to the petals on the back but once you do, game changer! Force yourself to play with the petals and youll grt used to them in no time.

    Really good controller and comfortable grip. Only issue is that I didn't have the replacement parts that it came with like it sated on the box. but overall quite happy with it, plus really long battery life. I only had to charge maybe once or twice since I bought

    I had an elite controller before this but it broke so I got this and swapped over my paddles. Everything with the old controller is compatible with the new one. Only difference i noticed was it was a bit lighter which was great because the older one was very heavy compared to a typical controller. Still had a great feel to it though and felt like quality.

    Always Good, Not Quite Great

    Love these controllers but despise the fact that the common issues have still not been addressed. Left bumper has failed me on 4 of these controllers. Battery life is excellent, weight is great, paddles and customizability is fantastic. Just the freaking bumpers that always seem to crap out. Oh and stick drift has always been a problem. Given the price and the fact that pretty much everything else about it is solid, I would expect the bumpers to hold up better.

    Solid controller, weirdness with the warranty…

    I had bought a refurbished series 2 originally, geek squad refurbished. It was $99 dollars, and I bought the 2 year warranty. When I went to exchange it after mine had gotten pretty run down, I was told I would need to pay $100+ to get another. They tried to up sell me a brand new one, which I did not appreciate, nor did I see anything about that when I bought it. They ended up getting me an open box one so I only had to pay like $20, but they should really be more open about the warranties. They said they “didn’t have any” geek squad refurbished ones, even though that’s the store I bought the original from. If you offer a warranty on a product, then you should be able to replace the product if you have a warranty, no more, no less than the original. It’s a great controller, probably best on the market but there have always been stuck drift and button issues over time. Most button issues can be fixed by popping it open and hitting them with some rubbing alcohol, but the stick drift is tough. Best way to avoid getting it in the first place, is DO NOT use the sticks on the tightest setting. Keep them loose, and it will last way longer.

    Expensive, but I love it

    I’ll start by saying I paid for it with credit card rewards- so I didn’t have to pay any extra for it. While it’s a bit pricey, I do love it and am glad I got it. It’s very comfortable, the metal pieces are really nice and it just feels better than a regular controller. I dropped it once from maybe two feet up, some of the metal pieces popped out but they popped right back in because they’re magnetic, which is actually really cool. No issues with stick drift (yet) after a few months of use. Love it so far.
