    I do love these controllers even if theyre sold at a lessened price for not having the extra accessories. They work really well with comfort grips and access to many functions despite not being sold with the aforementioned accessories. I do hope this one lasts because elite controllers are infamous for not having a long shelf life.

    At first I thought the 200+ price point was outrageous but actually using the controller I can see why it was necessary. The controller is great, at first the diamond textured grips felt wierd but i got used to it. I have been using this non stop and the best part is I barely have to charge it. I played games for an entire week on one battery charge which to me is pretty outstanding. And the adjustable control sticks just make it all come together. Whatever game I choose to play the sticks are able to support the comfort and usefulness that i look for. I highly recommend this as a pick up.

    This controller was an open box/returned item and my expectations were not high. I used my rewards which cover$55. Si, bascially i paid $40 for a decent controller. All the buttons function and it is far better than using any third party controllers.

    This is a hefty controller that definitely feels premium at first touch. Don't let the weight fool you, though, as it's still the same mediocre controller underneath and will suffer from the same points of failure as any other xbox controller. Definitely not worth the price.

    Impressed with how much of a upgrade the elite 2 is compared to the elite 1, it brought a smile to my face and was not regretting my purchase as soon as I held the elite 2 in my hands! The improved choices of analog sticks makes the controller feel like it was made for you. Having 3 configuration for the back paddle mapping compared to the 2 on the elite1 is the prefect amount, with also having a default setting making it seem like 4 button mapping layouts. Would recommend to anyone especially the to the elite gamers who want the most out of their gaming experience!

    The grip makes it easier to hold for me. I have physical challenges that can make holding a controller difficult. The textured grips really help. The mappable back buttons make all the difference. My hands are small, so it can be hard to move all around the controller. The back buttons help me manage longer play-time.

    the controller doesn’t come with the paddles or all the other fancy things the full elite controller kit comes with. But regardless, the controller is still and upgrade over the standard Xbox gamepad. With its insanely good battery life (I charge mine maybe once a month) and the ability to adjust the stick tensions, I think this is worth it for every Xbox user

    Great product, quality feel and brings a better gaming experience to the Xbox platform. Purchase this as a gift and can tell you the person who has used it for the last month won’t touch a regular Xbox One controller now lol. This controller has allowed for them to make the needed adjustments to in game play as well as being able to charge the controller (no more battery replacements) and this means no longer using third battery chargers, battery packs and worrying about why they only have 3 - 6 month warranties. This product is genuine Microsoft and is the quality you would expect.
