    Was skeptical about upgrading from the series 1 elite controller. But boy was it such an upgrade. Feels and plays better than the 1st gen.

    This controller is probably one of the best in the market for a hard-core gamer or someone willing to spend the money to get a really nice controller

    Great controller all around. Only complaint is if you have bigger hands it does feel a bit small when trying to scrunch your fingers and bit the paddles other than that. Excellent build quality

    I only used it for 2 weeks. My left hand didn't like using all the paddles. I tried the extra thumbsticks but didn't have a use for them. I like how easy it is to hot map buttons (make the A button do what the X button does, for example) My favorite part of this controller is the hairpin trigger adjustment. Other than that... I didn't sit well knowing I paid $200 for a controller and I barely used all it's features. I went back to my regular red controller ☺ I'll leave this one for the pros.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Would definitely recommend buying this controller even if you are not a fan of the paddles. Once you get used to them you will never forget back to a normal controller.

      Hey Steve,

      Thank you for sharing your experience with the new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. It's great to hear that you're enjoying the functionality of the back paddles, and we agree that it's difficult to go back to a standard controller once you've gone Elite. We hope you win a lot of matches with it.

      Happy gaming,
      Chuck

    Before this, I want to say that I bought my product as open box excellent condition. I rated 4 star because the controller came without the little covers for the trigger stops but everything works well. There is a bit of drift, but this might be because the joysticks are so loose that my character slightly moves when I shake my controller. Other than that, everything works perfectly as intended and is someone who should buy for the paddles to avoid the “claw” method of holding a controller.
