    If you are a serious gamer than this is the Xbox controller for you! It is made with excellent quality! You can create game profiles that will allow you to move the buttons and actions when the game itself won't let you set your controls as you want them! And best of all it holds a charge for a very long time! I play for 4-6 hours and not a problem. Might use half of the battery!

    Having complete control is gaming makes everything much more enjoyable and that is what the Xbox Elite 2 controller provides. The most important feature for me was the thumbstick tensioning. I increased it fully and it had an immediate effect in playing First Person Shooters. The control is much more precise and the stick drifting is gone. Add in the full wrap around grips and a more solid and compact feel, this controller fits perfectly in my hands. All the customizable features can help make your favorite games play even more fun! I got my money out of the XE1 controller, I know I'll get it out of this one as well!

    Whoa, now this is premium. I can't get over it. The weight, the response on all the buttons, the sheer feel of metal, and it feels so good. Battery life is great, Type C charging is always a plus, Astro can learn so much. Their C40 was absolute dog barf.

    Best cobtroller i have used, but it will get stick drift eventually. Get insurance for sure, and just keep trading it in whenever the stick drift starts to show. Its an unfortunate necessity.

    My other controller finally died on me after 2 years, so I decided to buy this one. Highly recommend if you already have the paddles and are looking for a good controller.

    Controller looks good and is easy to hold and use. My previous elite controller had bumper issues after a couple of years. Not a big deal but we will see how this one holds up. Otherwise it is more comfortable to use than the standard controller. Price is a little steep but controller is more enjoyable to use.

    Battery life is incredible. Improvement over the original in almost every way. Held out as long as I could for a Series 3 because I wanted hall effect thumb sticks. Hopefully stick drift won't be an issue like it was for the first gen.

    You dont know what youre missing until you start playing with this controller. The paddles are a huge help for FPS games. The carry case, attachments, and charging docks are amazing add ons. The controller feels SO good and sturdy. The grips are amazing and great for holding on especially if you have sweaty hands.

    This was the one I swapped the blue controller with that was definitely a refurbished being sold as new. This on had no paddle presets, xbox light is bright and it was 100% clean. I just didn't want white because it gets dirty faster but it was the only other one available besides the normal elite series 2 for $200. Other then that great controller and it works just like the normal elite 2s. Very happy with the product and that it was new and not used.

    Great controller had one before but used it till it was on its last leg, was originally recommended by a friend, makes gameplay 10x more elite (ahhh see what I did there). Still bad at the game and miss 80% of my shots but it’ll take a different players gameplay to the next level

    The Xbox controller is comfortable to hold, with responsive buttons and triggers that enhance gameplay. Its ergonomic design fits nicely in the hands, and the wireless connectivity provides flexibility during gaming sessions. The only issues ive found with the controller is that it gets stick dift within months of use.Overall, it's a solid choice for gamers and it fits the hands comfortably.

    Necessary, but not a good value for money. The stock controller hurts my hands, the elite 2 hurts them less, but still hurts them. Xbox still hasn't designed a controller useable in fighting games, the A button and sometimes RB button don't always trigger. The sticks are gorgeous and the dpad is useable. Good build quality and premium feel, great battery life, great little charger and included case. i don't use the rear paddles. I literally got this because the stock controller is super loud, and it bothers me when I use my Xbox while trying to fall asleep. It's still loud, but significantly less loud. The rumble is too loud still thoe. To avoid hand pain, I use a brook wingman adapter with ps4 dual shock controller. For limited, but regular use as a remote for the xbox console, its good. If the buttons were more responsive (A button especially), and if my hands didn't hurt, it'd be a really good controller. I've had to return 3 or so, because the A + RB buttons not working most of the time. Missed inputs unheard of on Playstation controllers, so it's disappointing even the elite controller has this issue. Otherwise, there's a nice premium feel too it, charger and case are good. The grip could be improved, they kinda skimped there. It looks and feels better than it actually is, if that makes any sense.

    This controller has been working so much better than the $60 controllers that i kept buying. Paying more for the elite series not only lasts longer but it provides a much smoother experience and quick reaction time. Also, thumbstick is metal so it doesnt scrape plastic off like the other ones.

    I had to buy this as a replacement for the regular Elite Series 2 controller. Unfortunately, that controller grips started to peel. As a stand alone product, I'd say this is a great controller, even though it's $130 with the additional $50 that the parts/add-on bundle will cost. It's a very responsive controller and, knock on wood, has stayed in pristine condition during the couple months I've had it. Like its sister controller, the customization available makes for enhanced gameplay and just adds that small fraction of time needed sometimes in FPS and RPG's.
