    So far it’s been working great with no issue, I love been able to customize and use the paddles and to have peace of mind with the protection plan that covers me for 2 years which is a must with the high end controllers, “I would definitely recommend the controller”

    Love the elite controllers. Would have liked for this to come with the accessory pack, but it’s still very good, if overpriced

    I do not use it enough to justify buying it but it is a great controller. Customizing the length of pull on the triggers is nice and the paddles on the back are great as well. Comes with a lot of ways to adjust the controller to fit your hand the way you want it. Bottom 2 paddles get in the way of my hands sometimes so I do not use those for the most part.

    Its good, but the quality with the buttons are hit or miss. I believe there was a lawsuit against M$ over button issues.

    This should have been a day 1 purchase, even before any games had been installed on the Xbox series x. It feels infinitely better than the lame controller that comes packaged with the console.

    The elite 2 separates itself with the extra paddles on the back. The layout and feel of these extra paddles are much better than other controllers. The programmable profiles are a nice feature as well. If you are a heavy gamer I would opt for the warranty.

    I thought it came with the pieces and stuff but it didn’t. That’s my fault for not reading it correctly lol. Good product overall tho. I’m not a big time gamer and I’m glad this one is fairly simple to use. It definitely has helped me improve my firing rate.

    I’ve had this controller over a year and have had no problems with it. I’m just an average game player so mostly bought this controller because I was tired of having to purchase a new regular controller every year and hoped this one would last longer. So far it has not disappointed. It is heavier than the regular controller but that doesn’t effect my opinion of it as it is still fairly comfortable to use. I like that you can swap out the controller sticks easily.
