    The controller I purchased was a refurbished one. I love everything about this controller except that the B button gets stuck. Seems to catch under the plastic of controller.

    Fantastic feel in the hands. Good weight for me but heavy for some others. Vibration settings are customizable. Much better than it's predecessor. Controller surface is easy to clean

    This controller is a BIG improvement over the first gen Elite Controller!! The buttons are more heavy duty and it just feels better in the hands. I've owned quite a few Elite Series Controllers and have had to replace every one on a regular basis. Either the plug would go bad and the controller wouldnt charge, or the buttons underneath would quickly get nullified and didnt click like a button should. Ghosting was a big issue on the Elite Controller as well. The Elite Series 2 Controller has real button actuation and the ghosting is negligible. Those buttons underneath the controller are so much better than before and the cord input is also a big Improvement. I would recommend this controller over any other modded controller out. I actually have 2 of these controllers, one of which I have had for going on 3 months or so how and everything still works as it should.

    I will gladly pay twice as much for this because it is so sturdy. The regular controllers break after a year or two so it is worth the investment. I had the original elite for five years and this one is better in every way.

    This is 100% better than the elite 1 hands down with the additional trigger stops and just the feel. USB-C is a great addition but controller drift is beyond frustrating. Elite 1 had the bumpers break but never drift. I'd love to buy again but if drift starts I suggest returning. I will say I am very happy Microsoft is attempting to support the more serious gamers but this happened within weeks of purchase.

    Bought the series 1 and had to get the series 2. Takes competitive to a whole new level. Being able to use more that just thumb and index when using a controller, makes a huge difference.

    Best controller I have invested on. I’ve been wanting this controller a bit before covid kicked in but it was difficult to find. Glad to say the wait was worth it. I use this controller on my Xbox, my phone and my pc.
