    It is a good controller but to be honest after a year it starts to fail.. it is my 3rd controller. The first controller the RB started to fail. The next one it was the right stick. Just make sure you buy the geek squad protection

    You probably don't need this controller. It costs as much as a new Xbox these days, and doesn't really do much differently than the standard Xbox One controller. It is clearly built like a tank and is a very impressive piece of engineering... but you probably won't find it worth the price of admission.

      Hey Dennis,

      Thank you for sharing your perspective on Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. It's true, the Elite Series 2 isn't for everybody -- it's been designed with the most passionate gamers in mind, especially those who play competitively. But if you're looking for the ultimate in construction, durability, and customization, we hope you'll agree it's hard to beat.

      Happy gaming,
      Chuck

    This controller is very comfortable and I love the back paddles on the controller which comes in handy when playing competitively. Would definitely recommend this controller if you play very seriously.

    I have an xbox elite series 1 and it came with a nice charging case and extra accessories and the paddles. This was an open box item in so called "excellent condition and it doesn't have the paddles underneath or extra parts or the charging case. Very disappointing, but the controller does work and looks nice with my Xbox series S.

    Found this on sale; it was an great replacement for my original controller. The replacement option was the plain xbox controller and once you play with an Elite it is hard to turn back.

    Quality is beyond what I had expected. This thing thinks of everything and things that I didn't now I wanted. I think the price is worth it, but I bet they go on sale from time to time! I am using it exclusively with my PC, and It has been my favorite purchase as of recent!

    Bought this controller to play Elden Ring on PC thinking it would be the better choice on a Windows PC. The weight and feel of the controller was top notch, the ability to remap a lot of the buttons and reassign buttons to the paddles underneath was great feature....if the controller worked. I exchanged the first one due to the A button being unresponsive, hoping it was a one-off. After trying the new one, it seemed fine until a few days later then the A and Y keys stopped being responsive. So now I'll give up and go back to the PS controller (which I subsequently tried in ER and it was night-and-day difference). Overall, really disappointed in the quality for the astronomical price for the controller. Would have been great if the buttons all held up.
