    Would definitely recommend buying this controller even if you are not a fan of the paddles. Once you get used to them you will never forget back to a normal controller.

      Hey Steve,

      Thank you for sharing your experience with the new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. It's great to hear that you're enjoying the functionality of the back paddles, and we agree that it's difficult to go back to a standard controller once you've gone Elite. We hope you win a lot of matches with it.

      Happy gaming,

    Before this, I want to say that I bought my product as open box excellent condition. I rated 4 star because the controller came without the little covers for the trigger stops but everything works well. There is a bit of drift, but this might be because the joysticks are so loose that my character slightly moves when I shake my controller. Other than that, everything works perfectly as intended and is someone who should buy for the paddles to avoid the “claw” method of holding a controller.

    This is a nice controller and a great upgrade from the Series 1. It's a lot better and smoother and fixes a lot of problems from the first version.

    What a great controller. The trigger lock is perfect for FPS games. Greatest feel to the controller. A little heavier than regular controllers but you get used to it.

    I bought this to replace my last one which I dropped from head height onto a concrete floor. I now think my last one was faulty, because this one works much better - the buttons are smooth and the controls feel connected to my soul! If you play a lot of games on Xbox, get this - it's really worth it.
