    Controller is excellent for it's intended gaming purpose. Definitely a must have if you play COD, Fortnite, PUBG, etc. Just be prepared for the dreaded stick drift. There is a warranty from Microsoft for 1 year included with controller. I have used it once - service was quick. Buttons are swappable/customizable for aesthetic purposes. I have purchased 2, and would not hesitate to purchase more in the future if needed.

    The only controller you will ever need. I use this for the Xbox and Steam on my PC. And you definitely get what you pay for. Premium construction, the controllers wear and tear are minimal even after about an year of purchase and moderate gaming use.

    So far the best Xbox controller I’ve owned. I use it for PC gaming and console gaming. The connection is flawless and the buttons feel great. The controller has a weight to it, gives it a quality feel.

    This controller is definitely for those heavy gamers out there because of the amount of customization you are able to do with it! I was actually a little overwhelmed at first cause I've never had this many options, but holy heck, it's insane! This one is especially excellent for FPS and MMORPG games in my opinion

    Elite S2 Controller is one of the best, if not, THE best Xbox controller out there. The controller itself is insanely comfortable and the paddles are super helpful if the time is put in to use them. The adjustments for the sticks are odd, but useful in many high level games that any gamer should be able to do regardless of controller. Great piece of hardware for any serious nerd out there trying to dominate some games. Enjoy :)

    I recently purchased the Xbox controller, and I must say it offers exceptional build quality and premium materials. The controller feels robust and comfortable in hand, and the adjustable trigger settings enhance the gaming experience. The included case is a nice touch, keeping it protected on the go. However, my experience hasn't been flawless. I've had to return it a few times due to joystick drifting issues, which is quite frustrating. Additionally, the controller comes with a premium price tag, which may be a deterrent for some buyers. In summary, the Xbox controller boasts impressive build quality, materials, and design, but the recurring joystick drifting and the high cost make it a mixed investment.

    I honest didn't think an elite controller would feel any different. Holy crap was I wrong. This thing is AMAZING. Feels perfect in my hands. Love the weight. Being able to swap about joysticks with different versions is amazing. Love the quick buttons on the backside. Battery life is amazing. Definitely worth the price if you do a lot of gaming.

    I occasionally use this Xbox controller, but it feels great in the hands, with it's rubber handles. The omnidirectional D-pad is made of metal. Overall, this controller feels better than the stock Xbox series controller.

    Great feel but still suffers same issues from the first elite 2 controller. I’m a competitive gamer that used this controller pretty heavily. Within 5 the months of use, the R1 and L1 bumpers experienced loss of function. Pretty frustrating. I did get the insurance and got another one for replacement. It did fall under the Microsoft warranty but in the past, I didn’t have a good experience with them. Takes days to receive the controller and they didn’t even fix the problem.So if you plan on getting this controller, I highly recommend getting geek squad insurance. They’ll replace right on the spot. Still a solid controller for gaming.
