    i really enjoy this controller because of the extra buttons and the ability to change out parts. but what i dont like or understand is why they would sell this without the dongle to be able to use it bluetooth on your pc? so if you purchase this for your pc make sure you purchase the xbox dongle as well or you have to use it plugged in and not wireless.

      Hey there,

      We're glad that you're enjoying your new Xbox wireless controller for the most part. The great news is that the Elite 2 has built-in Bluetooth support so you can sync it with any Windows 10 PC that supports Bluetooth without the need for an additional adapter. For more information on how to connect via Bluetooth, go here: https://support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/accessories/connect-and-troubleshoot-xbox-one-bluetooth-issues

      Hope that helps,

    These are decent controllers, but not worth the money at all. I’ve owned 2 now and both have issues. Buttons getting stuck and even stick drift. I take extremely good care of these and can’t believe they have these issues. I thought maybe I got unlucky on the first one I bought so after a year I bought another one. The new one now has issues and I don’t use either of my elite controllers and wouldn’t buy again.

    It is a great controller while it works. I bought one and the A button would not work so I traded it in. The 2nd one I got worked great for a while but then the right bumper started to not work

    Don’t expect this controller to make you the best player but it does give you the tools to get better. The build quality is what really sets this apart from the regular controller. Plenty of customizations options, battery life/charging stand eliminates the struggles of finding a battery pack with a charge, the controller looks great. Overall great upgrade

    I have the original elite controller and the white one… I grabbed this one because the white one was giving me crap. Ghost drifting or whatever you call it. So happy with the new version. The internal rechargeable battery and the slick minimal charger station is worth this buy for sure. The sale didn’t hurt either

    Quality control issues continue.

    The controller and peripherals included look and feel premium; however, the well documented QC issues cripple what could have been an awesome controller. Day 1, within the first 2 hours, the right thumbstick started dragging and sticking and the A button wouldn't register each press. If you're willing to pay for an extended warranty, and take the time to return defective units when they fail, you may enjoy this controller.

    The best xbox controller I've ever used. This thing is great. It doesn't feel like its cheaply made because it has the proper weight a controller should have. The customizable buttons are great additions even though I rarely use them. Having a USB-C case case that serves as a charging is great to have

    So far I am very happy with this purchase! All the buttons and triggers feel tight and responsive, stick control so far is flawless. my last controller lasted a little over 1 year until I got the drift so time will tell.

    My favorite pro controller

    I love never needing to take my thumbs off of the thumbsticks. I solely use this controller for competitive shooter titles, and it works great! The customization is highly appreciated, I’ve tried many combinations already and will continue to experiement. I don’t personally get anything out of the different tension settings, though. The feeling of the controller is pure quality, from the weight, to all the buttons and triggers. I especially love the D-Pads, but for competitive shooters I have almost exclusively used the ‘plus’ D-pad. All-in-all, a way better pro controller than the Dualsense Edge, and on par with 3rd party pro controllers.

    definitely worth it. this remote is so customizable. from the joysticks to the d pad and even the triggers. not to mention the different profiles that you can mess with on the xbox to assign the buttons to whatever you want, plus xbox has already announced that it will be compatible with the next gen console, so you're all good there too. Must have!!!

    If you like the classic feel of Xbox controllers with an upgraded feel, then the Elite 2 is for you. Though the warranty plan is recommended as most times these do start wearing out.
