    I owned the 1st Elite Controller for several years and still have it in use, in comparison this Controller is quite the improvement and feels amazing in my hands. I bought this knowing it was only the Controller and no accessories but that was due to having the the accessories from my old elite controller, still i bought the accessories because i was curious if they updated them. Overall this is a great upgrade and would recommend it for true gamers

    Works great BUT why is it that the RB button always gives out! I also have the 1st one which is just the elite series 2 i got it when it came out and same thing happened to it. I dont get it. So i might end up purchasing the regular controllers again cause its weird that they last longer...

    I got myself this controller thinking it would last longer but it gave out just as fast. Dont get me wrong its a good controller its heavy which i like and felt good buttons and all that, but it now has bad stick drift and theres better controllers that work just like this one for cheaper. Still a decent controller its like the default one but heavy and more add ons.

    I absolutely love this controller. It's perfect in every way. And the customization is almost limitless. I wish I could give this controller more than 5 stars. It's literally a work of art! I highly recommend this controller if you want to improve your game and precision.

    Use it on my PC/Android phone primary, occasionally on my Xbox/iPad). The Xbox companion app on windows makes it super easy to update the controller or change the binding for all (3) profiles. The controller is the best you can get period. The accessories alone are awesome (charging case, different length sticks, back paddles, dpads) and make it worth the purchase. If you can catch it on sale, or even full price, buy it. If you are serious or semi serious about your gaming (Xbox/Android/iOS/PC). Buy it immediately.

    Best Controller I’ve Ever Had!

    I’ve had it almost 8 months with no issues! It’s been responsive and so easy to connect to my PC. The only issue I had was easy to solve. I just had to download new drivers for it and haven’t had any issues since! Also! I love how customizable it is. Being able to change to a shorter trigger pull for shooters but then a longer trigger pull for driving games is so convenient and gives better overall control. Love it so much! I also love that it can easily be connected to my iPad for when my daughter wants to use it to play Roblox.

    Great controller with excellent battery life to compliment my Xbox Series X. Great customization. My only nitpick is lack of share button but other than that, this is the best controller I ever bought

    Always enjoyed the Elite Series 2, my first one lasted years and the red version was my replacement. Back paddles are great and have every customizable option you can think of. Works perfect and may be even lighter than the original ES2 models.

    Elite Series 2, Say Less.

    After a very long hiatus from gaming, I decided to pick up a controller and take another stab at it. I subscribed to game pass and started looking for controllers. I started with an Xbox one controller, and quickly graduated to the Elite Series 2. I must say, there is no comparison, the Elite controller outclasses the original in every way. The overall design stayed the same, save for 4 cleverly, and strategically placed paddles. That can be programmed to do any thing you want. The X-box accessories app makes it very easy to navigate the mapping of your buttons, and allows up to 10 unique control settings. I would recommend this controller to any one, who’s willing to shell out the $200 to own this bad boy.

    I bought 2 X Box elite series 2 controller a week before Christmas thinking they wont make it in time. However, 1 arrived on Christmas eve. 1 2 days after Christmas. I choose to save some money and both were "open box" "excellent condition " they cost $80 - $90 . The description of "open box" "excellent condition " is works and looks like new with all original parts included. Looks wise, yes. They both look new. Even the original box looks new. However, on one controller the R bumper is not quite right, it feels "soft" and you have to press it harder than the L side. On the other one, the R trigger does not work right. You have to press it 2 to 3 times sometimes for it to respond. Might not sound like a big deal but if you are a gamer, you understand. Everything else is perfect. The usb cable and original paperwork was there as well.

    No real flaw to point out to be honest! Too many features to count! I could go into all the perks but I don’t want to write that long lol… I’ll mention my favorite feature which is the fact you can adjust the analog from being tight too loose amazing feature! The rest you can see just by clicking on the controller and viewing!

    I didn’t think the controller was worth it. I decided to buy it with a coupon I found. After using it for a few hours and getting use to the extra controls I am not able to go back to a standard controller. This controller has helped me tremendously. I recommend this to anyone trying to get a slight advantage in game. Also no more batterys!!!

    Really high quality feel and everything it comes with and how you can adjust triggers and thumbsticks. You can also program the computer for custom profiles for button /paddle mapping. You can also choose a custom color for your center xbox logo to be and change brightness of the light and now order custom colors. This is an amazing controller. One of my few non-buyers remorse purchases for a video game PC player. It definitely made me better by not having to move thumbs from sticks.. must buy if you are in the market for premium controller.
