Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the product's great overall performance, excellent battery life, and extensive customization options. They frequently praise its comfortable feel, good weight, and comfortable grip. However, a significant concern raised by users is the issue of stick drift, which appears to develop quickly. Additionally, some customers have experienced problems with button quality and found the price to be a point of hesitation.

    Same size as the series X controller. This is the elite 2 without the extra sticks and D-pad.

    As a lifelong xbox player, this is certainly the best controller I've ever used. I was skeptical at first, but the price tag is worth it.

    I have had this controller for 9 months now and really have loved it. But now i am experiencing really bad stick drift, which is a more common problem with any controller but not within this time frame. I am a casual player so maybe a few hours a few days a week at the most. For what this controller cost I expect better durability from it.

    I am a big fan of the series 2 elite controller. I am excited to give this to my son for Christmas. The one I have for myself is great. This was an amazing deal for an excellent condition open box item.

    I continue to buy this product even though I know it is going to break within the next year. Have had bumper problems and sticky A button upon purchasing multiple different Elite Series 2 controllers. Ulitamately if you still want the advanced controller features, you'll learn to deal with the controller and consistent returns.

    A must have for an Xbox gamer. They made a lot of adjustments from the first series. I love having 3 presets now, as well as the extra trigger locks. Being able to adjust the joystick tension is amazing!

    I love this controller!! I play more aggressive when using this controller and having more control in my slides and jumps without lifting my thumb on the sticks.
