    I can honestly say this controller can make you better at certain games. Super mega baseball 3 for instance. I bought this controller specifically to play that game. The game has fine touch reticle movements that benefit from this controllers ability to change the tension on the sticks.

    Great controller but I have had three of them and all three had problems! First two had the left bumper break after only 2.5 months of owning it. I literally treated these controllers like a baby and maybe dropped them 2 times in total. The last one had stick drift so I gave it back and grabbed a cheaper controller w paddles and it works great... if you chose to buy the Xbox elite controller the two year warranty saved me easily 250$

    Been waiting for this controller to be released and I was not disappointed. Minor improvements from the last generation but they were very welcomed. Microsoft should've incorporated a rechargeable battery years ago for their controllers but I guess they wanted the money from the battery companies.

    Comfortable and sturdy controller. Even with the size of my hands, the controller sits in there well (hands are kinda small). Remapping feature is really nice, and the shift ability also. Works well on my pc and Xbox

    This controller really is a game changer. The build quality is fantastic, the customization options are cool, the charging dock and carrying case are big pluses! My favorite feature is the triggers on the back, allowing me to give my thumb a break as well as react quicker.

    These controllers are awesome but the build quality is terrible. After a few months the grips are coming off again. Ive had a few of these and the same problem still remains.

    This Xbox elite 2 controller is the best thing you can buy for your gaming experience. One problem this controller has though is the joystick may ware out faster than you think so definitely buy warranty to swap when you feel controller drift.

    My Series 1 Elite controller finally gave out after 5 years. I replaced it with the Series 2 and I am so glad I did. The joystick sensitivity adjustments make gaming so much better. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone thinking about upgrading from any Xbox controller.

    Good quality of materials, it looks aesthetically better than the previous series, I don't know what difference it has inside if it is true that they made improvements to the errors of the previous version.
