    Great battery life, feel, quality. Now that I'be used paddles, I can't go back. Took off one star due to weak bumper design. This gen is better than last, but still not very durable.

    Elite S2 Controller is one of the best, if not, THE best Xbox controller out there. The controller itself is insanely comfortable and the paddles are super helpful if the time is put in to use them. The adjustments for the sticks are odd, but useful in many high level games that any gamer should be able to do regardless of controller. Great piece of hardware for any serious nerd out there trying to dominate some games. Enjoy :)

    One of the most comfortable controllers I’ve used in a very long time. I’m usually not a fan of grips on the controller but it really feels nice and another plus would be the battery life I rarely have to recharge my controller

    Pretty happy with the controller function. The cost was way too much tho. It's a game controller. It was almost $200. I was not happy with opening the box to find there was no controller in the box tho.. luckily i figured that out before I made it to my vehicle and went back in. The best buy resolved the issue for me.. but make sure to check before you leave.

    Not worth 200$ but what can you do when we all give in to pay these absurd prices. Still a great controller until the stick drift happens

    The price, the easiness to operate this controller, customize your buttons, the color. This is the cheap version beacuse it does not come with the paddles, nor.does it comw with the case ,however the quality of the controller is excellent.

    super comfortable controller but my only issue, which it very well could be only mine, is that the A button has a deadzone on the bottom of it so I have to press it a bit more cautiously. Other than that, it is fantastic.

    [Employee of bestbuy] Out for all the Xbox controllers I've had in the past this remote has been known to last 2 or more years without having stick drift. The buttons do not get stuck or lag while playing online.

    I honest didn't think an elite controller would feel any different. Holy crap was I wrong. This thing is AMAZING. Feels perfect in my hands. Love the weight. Being able to swap about joysticks with different versions is amazing. Love the quick buttons on the backside. Battery life is amazing. Definitely worth the price if you do a lot of gaming.

    Absolutely one of the best controllers I've ever owned. The customizable paddles make for great gaming. And the fact i can set 3 different sets of settings means i don't have to keep changing it for different games.
