    Solid controller, works well. The replaceable thumb sticks are cool, but unfortunately this controller doesn’t come with the paddles, so you will have to buy them separately.

    Coming from a scuf instinct pro controller and this product feels almost the same quality, I believe the instinct pro it’s a little bit better but this one is pretty good too so I’m very happy with it.

    Just a basic elite controller

    Bought as a spare for my 3 year old Elite controller, just a basic elite controller with no accessories, do not recommend buying if you don't have an elite controller with all the accesories already. I'm taking off a star because it doesn't come with a replacement tall stick which I feel could have been included at the very least since it is a main wear item. It does come with 2 short thumbsticks though.

    I have been using this controller for the better part of a year now and it has been nothing but perfect. I love the fact that so many of the parts are modular and can be swapped out or removed. The controller is very well balanced and feels very comfortable during long play sessions. The charging dock and case are excellent as well. It's expensive but definitely worth the price.

    Leaps and bounds better than the 1st Gen. I was hesitant about getting it because of the bad drift I experienced on the 1st Gen version (on two separate controllers, too) but I am glad I did. Crisp performance and connects seamlessly with my Xbox.

    Love the v1 so had to get a v2. Consistently sold out until I got lucky. Wish I could pair it with a series x… (looking at YOU Best Buy). Would like to buy more stuff from Best Buy and not get threatened about my credit card being canceled from lack of activity cause BB can’t get merchandise in stock…

      Hey there,

      It's great to hear that you're enjoying your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. If you haven't been able to get a Xbox Series X yet, we're working hard to make more available. We recommend checking back with Best Buy online regularly for stock updates.

      Happy gaming,

    Great premium controller until it inevitably succumbs to the faulty buttons or stick drift. I’ve gone through three while keeping it maintained with the upmost care.
