    Gave my son a couple weeks to use them since Christmas. He definitely enjoying the controller. The different button options and the customization you can do the controller impressed me. By far I’m no gamer. But he is extremely happy.

    Controller and the additional buttons have a very premium build to them. I like the additional grip on the handles. The back paddles do feel a bit awkward when handling the controller, though luckily they are easily removable. I think I could get used to them with time, however.

    Best on the market, but has issues

    This is arguably the best controller on the market for serious gamers. The back buttons and adjustability make this controller perfect. I would highly reccommend getting the protection plan as it does seem to get stick drift and the bumpers seem to have issues after a couple years of abuse.

    good controller other then it is way too touchy and when i got it the A button and B button are unresponsive unless you press them really hard. they want you to rely on the paddles a lot.

    Feels like the best performs much less.

    The elite series 2 is a great, but flawed controller. No controller has felt better in my hands. I play on XBOX and PC with the controller the console performance so far is much better. The PC bluetooth connection fails consistently maybe a firmware update can fix it, but currently the controller won't get through a call of duty match without disconnecting on three different PC's. On PC it's still a great wired controller though. One of the tip's on backside the trigger selector switch broke down to a nub on the back with only casual use, still usable but the controller should be more durable with no fragile switches. I still love the controller, but I kinda expected a controller to end all controllers, and got quite a bit below that.

    Very very high quality! The only issue with it is the price tag but it is 100% worth it. If you’re on the fence due to the price but you have the money this controller is a must.

    I recently bought the controller after having the first elite controller for a year and was really looking forward to getting this new and improved version. Unfortunately on the first day of use I realized the Y button would sometimes not be responsive and the right thumbstick would completely go haywire. I returned that one and got a new one the next day, and to my disappointment this as well had issues as the X and A button would get jammed every other press. The controller feels and looks amazing though, hopefully I'm just very unlucky and the next one I get is fine lol.

    Good for a couple years

    Stick drift after 2 years. RB and B work when they want. Paddles are loose. Broken bits inside get stuck on LT and stop it from moving. The rubber on the trigger toggle fell off too.

    Best battery life

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    These controller's are awesome, the battery life of 40 hours is great. This in long run will be cheaper than buying batteries and the rechargeable batteries that only last about a year at best.

    Got as a gift for my husband, it’s his new favorite for the extra buttons alone! The interchangeable grips are nice and the fluidity of the joysticks roll is cool

    I bought the excellent open box and got it with scratches without pieces and without its charger, the controller is good but this one came with problems in the “rb” botton, no drift detected yet, I wouldn’t recommend open box with this experience.
