One of the best controllers for both Xbox and PC
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The swappable thumbsticks, D-pad, and paddles allow for a highly customizable experience, catering to different play styles which was the main reason I made this purchase. I truly enjoy using this controller and I can’t wait to see what Microsoft does to the next generation of it.

Elite Series 2 improved quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had this controller for 13 months and it’s still going strong… no stick drift and the sticks still click down when pressed. I bought the 2 year replacement warranty and don’t see any need to replace it yet. The previous version of these controllers didn’t last this long, I would need to replace them within a year. I use it almost every day, for hours at a time.

Love it

The quality is solid, it works exactly as described, and it’s been easy to use right out of the box. Everything feels well-made and dependable, and it’s clearly designed with real users in mind. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a reliable option, and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from this brand again.

Xbox controller series 2
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A very good controller. I've gotten mine a couple years ago when it first came out. I love the paddles on the back. The only thing that sucks is the accessories don't come with the controller so you have to buy the paddles separately. Recently though the controller has started to crack and rip places. I don't abuse it when I get mad at my games. It just starts disintegrating. Other than that lasts a while and no stick drift at all. Would recommend. Just in case I'd buy the protection plan with it.

Great until it isn't
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The elite series 2 is a great controller up until the moment it is not. I highly recommend the 2 year protection plan for this. I have gone through maybe 6-7 of this controllers since 2020, about 1 a year. Either the Y or B button stops to register or the bumpers no longer work.

Can't go back to standard
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the weight, accessories, swappable thumbsticks. Long battery life. My only complaint or nitpick would be the non- removable battery for long term purposes. I recommend getting geeksquad protection for that reason.

Great Controller.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this controller. It’s great if you already own the elite 2 and have all the extra pieces. It’s easy to map buttons (on PC, I don’t use this with the Xbox) and love all the customization options on it. I’ve had decently good luck with the build quality although I’ve heard the bumpers break often. I would suggest getting a protection plan if you’re using it often, it’s worth it.

Xbox Elite II Controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller is one of the best controllers for Xbox! I play a lot of COD and back paddles and ability to customize are very key for a better gaming experience! I do wish the price was a little lower.

Great gaming controller.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A solid controller for gaming, I like the interchangeable accessories and the charching station it comes with. It does lack some of the features from the new series x controllers but it is still a very good controller.

Buy it.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its an expensive controller... I get it.... but if you're reading this, buy it. Especially if its on sale. The grips feel amazing in your hands. Adjustable triggers are awesome. The battery last for hours. The construction is high quality. You can remove the paddles if you don't like them. It works on your PC and your Xbox. When you're done playing, put it back in the case (the charger is in the case).

Great Controller
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this controller for my PC at the same time I got a Playstation Edge controller for my PS5. This controller is so much better. Everything feels so much more responsive, from the sticks to the triggers. It sits better in my hands and just feels better overall. Even if the Edge controller had four back triggers like this one instead of two, I’d still rate this one better. I’ve been a Playstation over Xbox fan my whole life, and it makes me sad to rate something Xbox better than PS. But truth is truth. I wish I could use one of these on my PS5.

Great Controller
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a great controller, I had a used Series 1 originally that I bought from a friend. It had been used to the point the plastic grips were tearing off so I decided to upgrade. It's been a great controller and the case/charger is awesome for taking it to a friends place. I'm not entirely sure if it's the controller or my Pc, but I can't connect it wirelessly. However, I can play while it's plugged in. A little expensive for a controller, but I guess it beats buying a bunch of cheap ones.

Wonderful Controller
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The controller's ergonomics are exceptional, particularly the macro buttons, which facilitate complex command inputs in fighting games. Pairing with my computer was seamless, eliminating any configuration complexities. The weight and grip are ideally balanced and comfortable.

The best Xbox controller on the market!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.By far the best Xbox controller I have ever used. I've been through every controller that Xbox has put out and this one is superb in every way. The buttons are all mapable and the sensitivity of the triggers and buttons are all adjustable. The paddles are there also for those who prefer them, but in my configuration I just don't use them. The feel of this controller is hefty, durable and worth the cost. The case has a charging stand built in which is very nice, but make sure you have a USB-C cable to plug into it. The best thing about this controller is that every part about it just makes sense. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that is a serious gamer. You won't be disappointed.
