Customers consistently note the product's great overall performance, excellent battery life, and extensive customization options. They frequently praise its comfortable feel, good weight, and comfortable grip. However, a significant concern raised by users is the issue of stick drift, which appears to develop quickly. Additionally, some customers have experienced problems with button quality and found the price to be a point of hesitation.

    The controller is great- at first the paddles were stiff and wobble a little, but it has gotten better. It does collect dust easily but just got to wipe it off. Still really good and I love it!

    I LOVE MY CONTROLLER! The only downside is when you drop your controller, the pieces go flying everywhere, this is bad if you have a wired set and are clumsy! Feels very luxurious.

    Just a regular controller with a fancy name

    Don’t let the stars fool you, it is a great product, the thing is that because of the price and the actual usability of the controller makes it impossible for me to give it a better rating. It is a luxury item, and it can help you go pro, but’s that’s it. Other than the back pedals it offers the difference between a regular controller and this is minimal. Both controllers will get stick drift and if you are no good at the game, the controller is useless.

    Heavier than the series 1 controller

    This series 2 elite controller does not have a removable battery like the first one did, you get a charger to plug it in via usb or you can just lay it in the case and it charges just by having the controller laying in it's own case. It's case it hardwired when charging. Also, it weighs more than the first one, so keep that in mind if your wrists start to hurt. Overall it's a nice controller, let's see if this one can hold up to play time unlike it's predecessor! It's compatible with the "new" xbox that is supposedly coming out soon.

    I’ve had the original elite, multiple scuff controllers, and the razer Wolverine. I’ve had this controller for a few months now and is hands down the best of all in my opinion extremely pleased with this purchase.

    This is the best game pad ever made. Fully customizable and it comes with extra buttons. Make sure to get the warranty. Like all pads, this will break with heavy use.

    Fantastic controller. Worked perfectly out of the box, despite what some have said. I thought the original Elite controller was the best I had ever used until I got this one. The Series 2 is superior in every way.

    The controller itself is the best controller I've ever used. Customization is excellent! The problem is the build quality. I've had to GSP multiple of these controllers because of things like stick drift, stick failure and multiple button failures.
