Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the controller's exceptional overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. Users also frequently praise the device's comfortable grip, balanced weight, and high-quality tactile feel. However, some customers have expressed concerns regarding the durability of the buttons and bumpers, as well as the early onset of stick drift. Despite these technical frustrations and the premium price point, many still consider it a top-tier gaming accessory.

    Nothing beats Xbox elite controllers for PC and Xbox. Best buy price matched my store item to website. Very helpful and expediant. Nothing but great reviews for electronics.

    Better than the standard controllers. But they do not last much since the buttons start to fail and get stick drift.

    So far this seems to be a good controller in the month I’ve owned it. The paddles on the back side take a little bit to get used to, but once you get used to it things can be done much quicker. I like the ability to change out the d-pad and the joystick pads. And the case is really nice as well.

    One of the best controllers I have ever used. The 4 paddle option makes it so easy to customize movements and re-mapping everything to my way of playing the game.

    This is a very solid feeling upgrade from the original elite (which is still great). The series 2 feels tighter and lighter in your hand, has a much better updated case and charging cord. Love this controller will not use anything else, and am an avid daily gamer.

    This controller, along with the paddles, takes gaming to another level. If you play any FPS, I recommend buying this controller as you can fine tune the entire controller to your liking.

    Durability is a problem. Bumpers and sticks tend to be the first thing to go. However I do think while it is new it is one of the best controllers on the market.

    Nice controller, works with my PC well. The controls are solid and the synchronicity to my PC games across multiple Apps is great. Only negative is the longevity seems 1-2yrs max before need to replace.

    Good feel and solid build. So far no problems. Like the adjustable triggers. Will keep an eye for stick drift. Triggers are great because they can be tightened down. D pad feels odd being multi-direction. Overall pretty good. A bit overpriced tho.

    From my grandson - I love the elite series 2 controller! The case it comes with works really well and is very high quality and protective. It's very convenient that I can charge it in the case. The charger is very long to and can be used while playing. The buttons and customizations are very cool too. It adds a different feel to gaming when using the extra buttons and customizations. 10 out of 10 controller!

    Nice feeling controller but does suffer from either stick drift or sticking buttons. Get the best buy warranty and every year or 2 and you can just get a new one for i think $50
