Best controller I’ve ever owned
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this controller to play some games on my PC and it’s incredible. I’ve paid similar prices on mouses that don’t even come close to the quality and amount of customization as this controller.
I would recommend this to a friend Comfortable!

Worth the money
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The price may turn some off, but the Elite Series 2 is the best controller there is. I love the customization feature that lets you have separate game profiles. Compatibility with Xbox One, PC, and later Series X makes it a worthwhile investment.

Great Controller
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great product in every way advertised. I really like the customization that you can do with this and the built in battery. You just have to make sure you can justify the additional money. For me it was worth it. For some it may not be.

Good, not great, but better than original
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You'll never want to go back to the original controller. It just feels and plays so much nicer. That being said, it's not perfect, it has randomly turned off on me about twice over 6 months (mid-game).

I would recommend this to a friend BEST REMOTE I OWNED
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was a little worried about by this remote because all my other remotes analogs seem to go out but this one is still holding strong.
