    good controller with nice weight to it but unfortunately microsoft makes it using cheap lego material. ive had to return this thing like 5 times and now the warranty has expired and i dont want to buy another. bumpers go out first and fast and grips peel bad after a while. getting beat down in games because left and right bumpers dont work.

    I had the series 1 and loved it, I had originally bought it because I was breaking the regular controls in month. The elite controller proved to be very durable and the custom-tailored buttons make it far superior. With all of that being said the series 2 knocked it out of the park.....

    This isn't just a great controller; it's a game-changer. The moment I picked it up, I was impressed by how comfortable it felt in my hands—the ergonomics are spot-on, making even the longest gaming sessions feel effortless. The buttons are incredibly responsive, and the analog sticks offer pinpoint accuracy, which has already improved my reaction time in fast-paced games. Every input feels immediate and precise, giving me a level of control I didn't even know I was missing. Honestly, I'm kicking myself for not buying this sooner; it's completely transformed my gaming experience.

    Good but not great. Feels comfy, plays smooth but for whatever reason the overloxking polling rate on xbox controllers are not unlockable to higher rates. Therefore you are stuck with Microsoft stock settings when it comes to input latency. Therefore the PS5 edge has a advantage over this one. Other then that its perfect very easy to use and feels great in your hands.

    Amazing Controller. But Stick Drift is Inevitable.

    The Microsoft Elite Series 2 controller offers a range of customization options and impressive performance. However, over time, the grips on the controller tend to wear out, which affects the overall comfort and grip during gameplay. Additionally, some users have reported joystick drift issues, where the analog sticks register movement even when not being touched. While these drawbacks can be frustrating, the controller still delivers on performance and customization. It's important to consider the potential issues when making a purchasing decision.

    Best premium xbox controller without the Hall effect joysticks. The materials that dampened the plastic cheap feel. Iconic xbox controller hand position. Not worth the regular price. Wait for a sale or open box.

    Okay Controller

    Ive gone through about 4-5 of these controllers. From broken buttons that no longer work to the grip handles slowly peeling off overtime. I even travel with the controller in its case. But through normal wear and tear I can say you can get a solid 6 months out of it. This controller gives me a great advantage in games. I use all 4 paddles started off with the bottom 2 then over some weeks applied the other top 2. Now I cant play anygames without it feeling weird missing back controlled buttons. I even use this controller with my phone or laptop on games aswell as for my xbox series x.

    This controller is like something from a sci-fi movie. The case that it came in itself charges the controller. It's built like a tank, very sturdy, but light weight. Easy to hold for those long hours of gaming. I highly recommend buying this for the gamer in your life.
