    Great controller feels great in the hands. Rubber starts to peel over time though.

    The most versatile controller there is. Easier customization than other controller and the memory slots are saved to the controller using the X-box accessories app.

    Excellent controller. I bought the first generation when it came out and a Geek Squad warranty (which was, and still is with any gaming peripheral, a necessity) and had to replace it multiple times. This controller, however, they improved DRASTICALLY on the quality. Same great features as the first generation, just updated and perfected this time around.

    Bought this for myself as a bit of a splurge. After getting some paddles for it, I can’t go back to a normal controller - it’s that good. This is truly one of those moments where better hardware makes you a better gamer (I mostly play shooters and my stats went up a significant amount after getting this). The grips on it (the black part) are a nice rubber textured bit that is not at all uncomfortable. You may get sweaty hands after a while, but that happens whether you play on any controller or a mouse and keyboard. Stick tension I havent really messed with (i like the sticks loose). Keep in mind too that the sticks are very sensitive out of the box, so maybe adjust that in the accessories software on your xbox. Great product, love it tons.

    Takes your gameplay to a whole new level! Also so many customizations you can do. My favorite feature is that you just recharge it with usb-c and it last for days on a single charge.

    The texture grip is comfortable and the customization through the pc and xbox apps are where this controller really becomes pro. Paired with Scuff rear triggers this is great all around.

    I've had the elite series 1 controller since it came out, and I thought it was the best and it couldn't get any better, so I was skeptical about picking up the elite 2, but I was not disappointed!! Its a complete revamp and it feels even better in the hands, and with all the adjustable features, I'm sure you'll find a comfortable setting, I give this a 20 star rating out of ten stars

    Amazing controller great software but will take long time to get used to for your hand from using a normal controller. Also make sure to check all the buttons work and there’s no stick drift these controllers have a bad history of it right out the box.

    It fills so smoothly, heavy and solid, it’s really different experience. Even if you don’t you down pads you need to have one, sticks moving so smooth and accurate. I love it, perfect. I dont have too much time for gaming, but it still great.

    First off, this is a fantastic controller to game on. The customizations, and weight / feel are as good as it gets. But the mechanical design is flawed. We bought three (2 elite, 1 elite 2). Elite thumb sticks have all failed, 2 we bought plus one replacement. elite 2 failed on right bumper, and left small Button by d pad.

      Hey there,

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. We're sorry to hear that you've experienced issues with it, though. Every new Xbox controller comes with a 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty from Microsoft so if it's still within the warranty period we recommend reaching out to Xbox Support for assistance here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,
