    I had the first Elite Controller and was excited to find out the second version was released. I love the weight on the remote and how the grips feel. The extra triggers have a good click to them and the USB C charging case is awesome! I would definitely recommend this even for just regular casual gamers and pros.

    My first elite controller. I do like the paddles and seems to help improve at shooters. Nice case and different attachments to fit what you like best.

    Loved the controller. Feels great on your hands. Battery last a king time. A little over a year of usage and some buttons don’t respond and they did when new. But I do use the controller more than the average gamer.

    These are easy to sync to the Xbox. Also, the controllers can be modified for sensativity, which helps my son in game controlling. The magnetic pieces are great because it makes the look of the controller customizable. Highly recommended!

    Stick drift, buttons breaking from simple use (triggers and peices rattling) all the common issues from a classic xbox controller but in a more expensive package. Go buy a scuff controller with Hall Effect joysticks and mechanical buttons instead.

    Honestly the best controller I have used yet. Even without using the extra buttons and triggers, the weight and size of this controller just feel right. They seem to have resolved the issues we all had with the original Elite controller and offer plenty of customization options with extra sticks and buttons.

    Nice product, the added textured grip gives it a good feel. The customization this controller allows is over the top, far more than I was expecting. Very nice.

    The best Xbox controller! It is hard for me to imagine going back to the standard controller. The weight and hold of the controller and the exclusion of the extras make this controller a bargain.

    Best controller since the Series 1 Elite

    Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    They took the Elite Series 1 and made it better. The paddles are improved (less flimsy, it seems), you have more options for the hair trigger pulls (2 instead of 1), you get tension control for the joysticks, and the grip material wraps all around the controller grips instead of just the back. 4 stars because the right trigger started “sticking” a little bit. When I start pulling the trigger, it would have just a smidge more resistance than the left. Opening up the controller, there are 2 tiny foam pads attached to each trigger that eliminates the noise generated when the trigger returns to its default position. That foam had shifted on the right trigger and the adhesive was causing that stickiness. I removed the adhesive foam from both triggers since I had the controller open and it’s been great ever since. I don’t notice the extra noise at all while gaming (either because I’m wearing headphones or just engaged in the game).

    A great controller. As a casual gamer I’m not a fan of the faceted (round) d-pad not having any tactile markers or bumps, so I had to buy an aftermarket “+” shaped d-pad accessory. If you also get the back paddles for this controller they are placed well but require some playtime to get used to, especially if you are accustomed to squeezing the grips.

    Love the feel of this controller, and how comfortable it is. Paddles work great and very unique touch with the case being a charger for the controller so you can play wireless, do feel a slight drift in the right analog stick which is kinda disappointing for the price.

    This is my first time buying elite controller for any gaming system The problem I have with this controller is they put this rubber grip on there but it comes off on the edges I've only had this controller 6 months for the price I spent on it I shouldn't have these issues until they fix the glue issue I do not recommend buying

    At first I was skeptical of a 200 dollar controller. After been using it for three months now it feels fantastic much better than any other controller than I have ever used. It has a good weight to it and feels high quality. Definitely worth the 200 in my opinion, so just buy it already you know you need a new one.
