    Best controller I’ve used and I’ve tried scuf, razer, ps5. This is hands down the best controller when you get it for a decent price.

    Have had warranty replacement from Microsoft twice. First time the buttons stuck, Second time stick drift. I Love the controller when it works. If you don't mind wired controller go with the Razer Wolverine. Button placement on the back is easier to hit and you have an extra 2 buttons. ABXY buttons are super clucky like hitting keyboard buttons. I'll say having the extra top button makes pinging enemies really easy in Battle Royale games.

      Hello there,

      It's awesome to hear that your son is loving his new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. We're glad that it's enhanced his gameplay experience and that it's a comfortable fit for his hands, too. Hope he wins a lot of matches with his new controller.

      Happy gaming,

    I can not express how convenient this controller is. How easy it is to use and change the physical attributes on the fly. Programming the remaps within a separate application is not ideal; however one can setup multiple profiles and change the color of the power button to indicate which profile goes with which button layout. It's a bit heavy; but overall, Microsoft killed it with this one! Worth every penny.

    I've had this controller for a few weeks and have learned to love this thing. I use it for first person shooters and have had great success in using the extra buttons. Unfortunately my left stick has went out and now has constant stick drift. I am a little sad because I am returning the controller even though there is no stock to get another one. I know this is a fluke so I will definitely be getting another Elite 2 controller. I just wished the first one worked
