    [Employee of bestbuy] Compared to any pther Xbox one X or series X controller. The additional grip and mappable buttonsnin single player as well as multiplayer games is just an incredible feature. Great build quality, customizable, definitely worth getting when on sale

    We bought this for our son's 12th birthday and he was so very excited about it. Apparently he had been wanting it because his friend has one and we didn't even know it. The versatility is great and we love that it charges in the case. He is obsessed with Fortnite so he gets a lot of use out of it. Great controller and highly recommend for the advanced gamers. My only complaint is how much it costs. As a mom and not a gamer I don't understand why it's so expensive...

    Always great products at great prices. This Xbox Elite 2 controller is the greatest gaming controller out as you can tweak everything to your liking which is perfect as gaming isn't a 1 size fits all when it comes to controller and tension on buttons, triggers and joysticks.

    Best wireless option for Xbox

    This controller is better than the default Xbox controller in every way. The paddles are great if you have finger/thumb issues like I do. There are basically no good wireless aftermarket options outside of this; the Scuf controller is wireless, but it runs on AA batteries, which I don't want to deal with.

    Improvement, but still needs tweaks

    The Series 2 Elite is a much needed improvement over its predecessor, but still not perfect. The thumbsticks are still too easy to accidentally knock off, and I personally think the rounded ones should be smooth. Some pros would be the built in battery life is impressive, and it has 3 customizable control mapping options. The extra paddle buttons don't get knocked off as easily as the series 1 controller.

    Fantastic controller, kind of annoying how you can’t lock the magnetic joysticks or d-pad in place. Sometimes you can easily flick them off, specifically the joysticks.

    Good product for what you pay for. I would just recommend getting warranty though because it’s just a matter of time when the controller will have some sort of malfunction mechanic going on. But overall it’s a good controller.
