nice solid build, so far so good The Microsoft Elite Series 2 Controller is a premium gaming controller that offers a variety of features to enhance your gaming experience. With customizable buttons, adjustable thumbstick tension, and swappable D-pads, this controller allows you to tailor it to your preferences. The controller also has durable build quality and a rechargeable battery for convenience. Overall, the Microsoft Elite Series 2 Controller is a great choice for gamers looking for a high-quality, customizable controller.

This is hands down the best controller ive ever held/used. It beats out anything playstation, nintnedo, even third parties have to offer. Rubberized grip around the fronts and back so your hands will never slip, customizable back paddles for FPS/Racing games is a must, three different profiles that can be saved for stick sensitivity and more. Also really bice that it comes with an extremely durable case that has a hard shell on the outside with a magnetic charging stand and awappable sticks on the inside. I also bought the warranty just in case but i take care of my stuff so we’ll see if i end up needing to replace them. So far so good.

Great solid build quality and easy to map buttons for your play style.

When compared to the previous generation, this is what you can expect: Better grip, more tactile response on the paddles, shorter paddles. Overall an improvement. Best part about these is that they are very durable, My last generation elite controller still works after 5 years of usage.

This Xbox controller really does make a difference in game play. It may be slightly heavier that regular controller, but the accuracy makes the difference. I would recommend this controller over the regular one any day.

Best controller on the market. By far better than the scuff controller. Long battery life. Super easy to configure and has good weight not cheap plastic.

I like the weight an the feel of it. The trigger adjustment is excellent. It's a little expensive for what it is. All these options shoul dbe on the controller that comes with the console. But it is nice to have. Worth it if you have the cash and want nice stuff.

This controller works great, feels good, the adjustable thumbstick tension is awesome. Would purchase again.

I love the way the it’s customizable and how long the battery last my old one of the same model lasted me 7 years before it stoped working

I've had this for a couple years now and can definitely recommend it for quality. It is built strong and weighs heavier than the standard controller which I find more comfortable when gaming. I like the flippers on the back that you could map actions to. I get a lot of use out of it in Battlefield V.

A very premium controller with the premium experience to match. While I have a few qualms with the Xbox Accessory Software App that you would utilize the remap the controller's paddles, the controller itself played very well through the various FPS and RPG games I used it for, and I had zero issues setting it up with my computer and with Steam. Would recommend for anyone who wants to really have the most premium customizable controller experience.

Fantastic controller except for how quickly it developed stick drift. Love the weight, and extra buttons, but the stick drift is going to be the death of me!!!

My son brought this. He says he likes it and has a good grip. This is the second one he has purchased from Best Buy.

Bad a** controller ! The paddles take some getting used to and the customization is crazy . The only downside though is that buttons do sometimes take some force to work, can’t lightly tap it or it might not register other than that great controller

Always the best controller on the market. Very hard to go back to a standard controller after using an elite. The weight and customization options make it stand out from other controllers.

I never do reviews, but I guess I’m starting. I love these controllers. Works perfectly on Xbox or PC + paddles. But. As the price gets higher the quality becomes more of an issue. 3rd controller that has fallen apart, this one did last a good year and a half which I’m happy about but this controller specifically the grip around it absolutely wears out before the first year of use. 2 of the controllers I’ve had plastic breaks inside the controller without raging being involved (hasn’t effected use). The response mechanism for the triggers is probably the worst, maybe works for a week and wears its self out unless you’re super soft on the triggers all the time. It’s just no longer worth the cost when it seems it’s only designed to last until the warranty runs out. I don’t care to buy new controllers obviously but “premium” controllers should be able to withstand heavy use and not naturally fall apart within a year. IMO.

Great controller, the grips are amazing and the the buttons are very smooth. It’s a rechargeable controller, all you have to do it out it in the case when you’re done and it will be ready for next time you play. Have not had any issues with it but so far, it’s definitely worth it.

This controller is great for playing xbox in a competitive way! My first series 2 had a few issues with bumpers, but now I have this one and it’s working great. I definitely suggest the geek squad protection to help with any shortages or stickiness to the buttons.

3rd elite controller. This is my 2nd core. After about 18 mos, all xbox controllers experience stick drift if used regularly. This one is no different. The adjustments these allow help diminish the effect over time. Love them and won't use anything else.

I’ve been using the elite 1 controller since release and must say the elite 2 has some improvements that caught my eyes, the joystick can finally be adjusted and they no longer bouncing back and forth like the elite 1.
