    The perfect controller. The paddles make the buttons obsolete. Completely programable. Love it.

    This is hands-down the best controller on the market and highly recommended if you play Halo, Call of Duty or Battlefield.

    Cannot remap triggers on PC

    The controller itself is first class. I purchased it thinking that I could remap the triggers to be any keystroke that I wanted on the PC. Indeed, it is possible to do this, but you must purchase third party software at an additional cost to do it. The Xbox Accessories App only lets you remap the triggers to a button already present on the physical controller. I think this is a big oversight.

      Hi there,

      We're glad that you're enjoying your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 for the most part. Unfortunately, when connected to a Windows 10 PC via Bluetooth, the Xbox Accessories App cannot detect the controller and won't allow for remapping. To get around this, we recommend using a wired USB-C cable or investing in a Xbox Wireless Adapter. For more information, please go here: https://support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/xbox-accessories-elite-series-2

      Hope that helps,

    Top of the line controller but can be really fragile. Either get a warranty or use the microsoft warranty.

    Get the protection plan.This is always needed any time you purchase a new item. Saved you a lot in the long run. The cord breaks often.
