Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options, along with its comfortable feel and good weight. However, a significant concern among users is the prevalence of stick drift and issues with button quality, particularly with the bumpers and A button. The price is also a point of hesitation for some.

    So far loving it. The only con I see is the the right stick click is way too sensitive. Little expensive for what it is.

    I think the controller and it's features are some of the best in the market. I use it on my PC and I only have 2 notes. 1. The connection issues are the only thing that made me debate on returning it. It will drop for little to no reason even when updated and right next to my PC. 2. The price is a tad high for a controller. I do understand it has fancy features but I payed over 250 with the warranty which I wasnt to thrilled about.

    Worth The Money, If It's Your First Elite

    Its my first elite controller and I would say its worth every bit of the price, if it's your first elite controller. If you have a gen 1 elite controller, i would just stick with that, unless you want upgrade. If you're using it for pc, like I am, I recommend getting the Microsoft USB wireless controller adapter. Even though the elite gen 2 has Bluetooth it didn't like staying connected to my pc for more then 15 to 20 minutes, which this isn't too bad because the adapter is only like 25 bucks, but some people may have better luck with it then me.

    I am very disappointed, to say the least, with the Elite Series 2 after my purchase of the controller and warranty for far too much money, especially at the $200 price point BEFORE WARRANTY, and I Honestly Feel that you're paying Solely for the Products Brand Name at this point sadly and these reasons are justified, at leaset to myself, due to firstly how Heavy and Big the controller is and feels, where the paddles are located while in a terrible position especially if using all 4 paddles like I do for games like COD as they are too long making it impossible to fully grip the controller without pushing the paddles down rendering both useless literally laugh out loud when your hands are sweaty or in a tense battle or game like even Fifa where I like to use the top two paddles in replace of the L1 and R1 triggers so that I can dribble and control how fast I move/sprint easier all the while still being able to move and shoot with my hands on all the buttons necessary, and lastly the feel of the thick hand grips and meshy buttons that can get stuck at any moment, I mean come on these buttons should be a mechanical by now on such an expensive controller for the Tactical and overall feel, so I'd Greatly advise trying out the Razor Chroma v2, if you don't mind wired giving you 10 ft to reach any distace especially for competitive gameplay, as the only issue with these Razor Chroma v2 Controllers in the past was not being able to adjust the analog stick sensitivity and fixing any possible stick drift but now that Razor have fixed that within the app while being able to adjust from the default analog stick sensitivity at 4 down to 2 makes these Chroma v2 Razor controllers Absolutely Perfect giving you the most precise movement I've Ever felt on a Gaming Controller and now Easily eclipsing The Elite's with this Much Needed Fix, while also feeling so much lighter and comfortable due to the textued hand grips and mechanical buttons like a PC, and finally a much better paddle feel and placement then the Elite Series 2 as the paddles are sturdier and more cenralized on the back of the controller making them easy to reach due to the controller being smaller then the Elite and also out of the way so you can fully grip the controller when switching to competitive from casual gameplay and at nearly half the price it is completely worth it as I've converted all of my friends to them who enjoy them much more then the Elite's Overpriced Controller.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
