    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Great controller. I bought this for my shooting games Call of Duty and Destiny. I would recommend configuring the controller through the Xbox accessories tab whenever you make adjustments on the controller itself.

    The back buttons are so useful for call of duty and the rechargeable battery eliminates the need for AA batteries. Pricey but worth it and it doesn’t come with the peddles.

    The Xbox Elite Series 2 controller is legit. It’s super comfy, feels sturdy, and the customizable paddles and sticks are perfect for any game. The button mapping a snap, and the battery life is solid. Grips and trigger locks add nice control. A must-have for gamers who want to level up!

    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.

    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.

    Don’t get me wrong 5 stars all day, but there is a quality control issue. It took me 3 elite 2 controllers to find one that didn’t have an issue with the A button sticking. Now that I have no issue I love it. It is everything you wanted the elite to be. Being able to make the the trigger button as quick as a mouse click really makes this a much more competitive play up against a keyboard and mouse.

    i cannot stress enough get the protection, rather the total plan or the one off 2 year protection plan. both this and the Sony elite controllers will break in less than three months, this is coming from a moderate player who only plays weekends and a little in the week. if you are a heavy gamer do not cheat yourself. in terms of the actual feel and features its amazing just built with no durability.
