    Good quality and comfortable. Feels solid even with control sticks that are customizable. I like that you can charge the controller while it is in the included carry case.

    Works great, feels good, I really like adjustable tension for the thumbsticks it keeps that fresh controller feel. Really wish this color scheme came with the paddles though.

    It’s a decent controller: had good weight, feels better than original. Experience a little stick drift right from new but I’m a casual gamer so it is what it is..

    Feels good in my hands and has a nice weight to it. This was a replacement for a series one elite that had worn out in a number of ways long before it should have for what I paid. I'm concerned the series 2 will be showing the same wear within the same time period, but decided to take a chance anyway. I guess time will tell. Some third-party controllers have the same weight but simply don't have the same feel as the authentic Microsoft elite controllers, which is why I bit the bullet and went ahead and bought another one despite thinking the last one wore out way too fast for the price point.

    Dont be fooled, the core Elite 2 is the same as the Elite 2 as far as build quality and functionality. This is missing the additional sticks, back paddles, carrying case and small portable battery with the last two being superficial. This is great to replace an older elite where you still have all the old accessories or if you plan purchase the addition components from amazon to customize your controller (they have plenty of good options). Connects great to a pc, phone or TV with little to no latency if you use it as a bluetooth controller. Wired to an Xbox or PC its flawless. I will say at this price be sure to purchase the warrenty to cover any accidents for 2yrs. Worth it.

    For the most part has worked exceptionally well since it was purchased. As of right now, a couple of the buttons are getting sticky like something is in them, but I've been careful about keeping it clean so I'm not sure why. Other than that, it's been a great purchase and would recommend / buy another if I need it to.

    Amazing controller. What a difference. The weight and balance is night and day compared to a stock controller. The ability to fine tune the tension of the toggles is amazing. Any serious gamer should own one.

    One Controller to Rule Them All

    Controller is extremely nice. Build quality is great, it is extremely responsive and offers an extreme level of customization. You can add back buttons for increased ease of use, but you can also remap every other button, and save the layouts into three different presets. It is expensive, but would be great to look into if you find yourself wanting more from your gaming experience. Caution to those who are buying “open-box.” Mine was considered “Excellent” but was heavily worn and smelled funny; it was returned promptly

    I really enjoy using my Elite 2 controller. It is literally a game changer. Everything about this controller is awesome. The price for a pro style gaming controller is great. The paddles on the back really make a difference when playing an FPS. I have recommended the Elite 2 controller to several friends and they have all told me that it has changed the way that they play the game. I would recommend getting an Elite 2 controller if your in the market for a new controller.

    Amazing Controller. But Stick Drift is Inevitable.

    The Microsoft Elite Series 2 controller offers a range of customization options and impressive performance. However, over time, the grips on the controller tend to wear out, which affects the overall comfort and grip during gameplay. Additionally, some users have reported joystick drift issues, where the analog sticks register movement even when not being touched. While these drawbacks can be frustrating, the controller still delivers on performance and customization. It's important to consider the potential issues when making a purchasing decision.

    Not a bad controller. Has some weight and was good condition for a return. Only has one bad back paddle button i just found out when i started using the paddles. No instructions with it but found them online. Will bring it in at some point for the button fix with geek squad when im in the area as its hours away to closest bestbuy. Price for these controllers are ridiculous new thats why i went used with the warranty.
