    Bought this for my husband and he loves it. The only thing I hate is that it doesn't come with paddles....kinda pointless but overall, great controller.

    Controller is excellent for it's intended gaming purpose. Definitely a must have if you play COD, Fortnite, PUBG, etc. Just be prepared for the dreaded stick drift. There is a warranty from Microsoft for 1 year included with controller. I have used it once - service was quick. Buttons are swappable/customizable for aesthetic purposes. I have purchased 2, and would not hesitate to purchase more in the future if needed.

    I brought one home and thought I had just purchased what would become my favorite controller ever! Well… it could be if I gamed more. The amount of customizations, not just with the sticks, dpad, or tension, but also button mapping, are infinite. It honestly felt like TOO much for me. I like to game on weekends and when I can during the kids naps and such, so all of those customization options really didnt mean as much to me as I thought they would. I found myself taking the extra paddles off and just using the hair trigger for fps games. I LOVE the charger built into the case though. That is a nice touch. If this was my career, it would be worth the money 10 times over. But as a father of 2 toddlers, and 8-5 job, a really cool electric color controller will work just fine for my quick gaming sessions.

    Great controller. Battery life is very good. It does not come with the pads so just a heads up. The price is high in my opinion but I have no complaints with the quality.

    Buttons started sticking on my xbox x controller already so i went with the elite. I really like how you can easily swap joysticks and add buttons. It makes my COD aiming a bit easier and faster. Can customize settings directly from xbox settings. So far this is my favorite controller I've had.

    Only reason this controller doesn’t get a five star review is that it tends to develop stick drift or faulty bumpers. It’s worth it to get the protection plan to be able to replace it.

    Definitely worth spending the extra money to get the better quality controller. I’ve had 5 controllers before this one and they all seemed to wear out pretty quickly. I love how it’s customizable as well.

    On The Button

    This works perfectly. I upgraded to this because of the buttons on bottom. The only problem I have is... the buttons on bottom. They work so well that I keep them turned off so they don't get input from my handling the controller. It's good to know that they are there, should I decide to use them.

    Amazing overall however, the durability is not quite there for the price. On my 2nd controller due to wear and tear or button smashed inside controller in 3 years. Otherwise, it's very nice feeling and works great

    The Elite 2 controller is THE BEST controller EVER! The only negative is that it's some who have said it breaks down and some who haven't had any issues. So with that i'd say PLEASE if you get this controller. Please get the WARRANTY.

    Decided to purchase this a Couple weeks ago , I wasn’t sure if it was going to be worth it or not so I was nervous to spend the money at first but I am so glad that I did! Controller feels amazing in your hands, the customization options on it are basically unlimited not only does it come with the interchangeable thumb sticks and paddles and the hair lock triggers you can fine tune Each individual button on the controller through the Xbox Accessories app so you can make any button do whatever you want , if you want to be able to make the A button do B button functions on a game then you can do it , its almost overwhelming how many things you can customize on the app to make the controller completely compliment your playing style. The controller comes with a really nice case. It comes with a usbc charging cord so you can charge it by plugging it into your Xbox or pc or you can use a wall adapter to plug the usbc into. On top of that it comes with a charging dock that the controller magnetically connects to and they even put a little rubber flat on the back of the case for the usbc cord to plug into the charging dock so you can charger the controller while you have it inside the case. I mainly play first person shooters online and being able to customize the controller how I want has made a huge difference in my gameplay and if you’re on the fence about buying this control then do it!

    Store associate suggested I get a warranty with product , saying that these controllers have a known issue for drifting, I have not experienced that with this controller. I am however a casual gamer , but I know when a controller is working properly and this one does!!

    This controller is without a doubt the best controller you can get on the market. Bluetooth makes it compatible with more than just Xbox, and the durability/quality is far and away so much better than the version 1 that it makes it look like a joke. Battery life is stellar so far and the added case with charging dock built in works very well. Wish the battery was removable, but 40 hours per charge is great.
