Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options, along with its comfortable feel and good weight. However, a significant concern among users is the prevalence of stick drift and issues with button quality, particularly with the bumpers and A button. The price is also a point of hesitation for some.

    I owned the elite series one but it was poorly crafted (rubber gripping peels of). This controller feels great I. My hand while allowing full control and programmable buttons. Great concept

    Better than the first xbox elite controller. The construction of this expensive thing is better, the options to select button presets on the controller (without needed to go through the xbox menu) is nice.

    Solid controller. I’ve mainly been using it on pc and I have no issues ever with the connection or reaction times so I’m happy with it. Just wish it was a bit cheaper

    Best Xbox Controller for the serious gamer. I would give it 5/5 but the analog sticks are prone to get sticky after a while. I would definitely get Geek Squad on it.

    Went back and forth on this before pulling the trigger and sooooooooooooooloo glad I did. I don’t care about any of the negative reviews, mine has been flawless and an absolute peach for COD.

    So far so good. Triggers, grips and joysticks feel great initially but time will be the real test as all these components broke on original elite controller and I went through multiple. Hoping the build quality of this series is much improved.

    For XBox or PC, this really is the ultimate controller. Excellent build quality and customization. And it’s first-party. The only downside is that it’s expensive, but comparable to a scuff.

    Very very very happy with my new Elite 2 controller. Love the adjustable triggers. The paddles are going to take some getting use to. Not to happy with the weight , it is much heavier than my old ones.

      We're glad that you're very happy with your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2! It's great to hear that you're a fan of its customization features, too. Once you get used to playing with the paddles, you may find that you can't play without them. We hope you have a lot of fun with your Elite 2.

    It allows you to remap the front buttons to the paddles in the back, which suits my playing style.

    It works. My gameplay has improved. Several reason could account for this but I attribute it to my hands being more comfortable and the use of the extra features the controller provides.
