    I have had many different brands of controllers and this is by far the best one yet. I own an elite and many scuff and I believe there is no comparison. The elite two is rechargeable with three settings for trigger stops and perfect grip and balance even better then the first elite. Great job!

    This was a gift purchase for my son, he is pretty anti-xbox controller but I convinced him it is more comfortable than being tethered to the PC with his PS5 controller. He enjoys it and no stick drift as of yet.

    The battery is just amazing. Also you can change the color on the controller where the xbox logo is. The weight is just perfect and the customizing is endless. Worth the buy

    I have used the Original Elite and the Series 2 for years. By far the best controller on the market for me. Everything is extremely high quality, and i believe there is no comparison. Even the weighted feel, feels premium and durable. Its hard to find paddles on other controllers that are as comfortable as the Elite, especially with 4 paddle. So much customization you can do to give you every gaming advantage.

    Absolutely love the design of these controllers especially being able to tighten the sticks, which if I’m being honest is really the only reason I’ve bought this controller 5 times now. Every single one has had either horrible stick drift or one of the bumpers stop working. Other than that love the controllers. Also they all lose stiffness in the sticks when they are tightened over time.

    Been enjoying my Elite 2 controller. Love the weight behind it and the way the joy sticks and paddles feel. I also like being able to adjust the trigger distance when playing first person shooters.

    Finally a remote that fits perfectly in my hands. Removable paddles on the bottom make it where your hands never leave the remote. Adjustable triggers are also a plus.

    Okay, so I've never had an elite style controller before, but after awkwardly attempting to multitask in games with a regular controller, i decided to bite the bullet and buy this thing. The last two controllers i had were regular and didn't last long. I've only had it for about a week but it is AMAZING. The extra controls allow me to do multiple things at once and I don't think I'll ever go back to a basic controller. This works flawlessly. It feels great in your hands, customization is a breeze, and mapping is very easy. The battery lasts a really long time, too. I fully charged it before using it and I play around 12hrs a day, and the battery life barely lost a bar after a week. I know these are notorious for having issues, but mine has none. I will only update my review if I start to have issues. I received it on 5/17/2020, so if I haven't updated with any issues, you can safely assume it's still working perfectly! Highly recommend!!

    My other controller finally died on me after 2 years, so I decided to buy this one. Highly recommend if you already have the paddles and are looking for a good controller.

    Best cobtroller i have used, but it will get stick drift eventually. Get insurance for sure, and just keep trading it in whenever the stick drift starts to show. Its an unfortunate necessity.
