    Amazing Controller feel and grip. Has a 3 step Variable trigger throw for ease of use and sub-second timing for where it counts. Wireless and Wired, comes with a cery nice controller color matched cable. This is just an awesome controller all around. REMEMBER buying this controller only is the controller itself. The paddles, different height thumbsticks, and D-pad change outs ARE NOT INCLUDED. So after purchasing i highly recommend buying a elite controller kit online. Found one that was a perfect paint match for the red controller.

    Really enjoying this controller. I love how you can change light color on the center button light and the paddle buttons. Makes playing fps games easier to play. Plus I like the trigger sensitivity control levers so I can just barely press aim and trigger buttons to shoot faster. The battery life is awesome, barely have to charge it.

    Clean sexy controller , too bad Microsoft cheaped out and couldn’t add the additional paddles and accessories. If you go out and buy them separately you end up spending more than If you just bought the elite 2 controller

    It is great controller, very comfortable, build quality is outstanding, customization is fantastic, but the most important for me - battery life is super. It is expensive - but from my point of view totally worth it.

    Microsoft - Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller Review

    This is the only controller that works for me. It's got a quality feel as a heavier controller, the paddles are ergonomically placed, and the thumbsticks allow for good control. However, I would only recommend this controller to those that are gentle with their controllers or that have the disposable income to keep replacing it. I have had at least 8 of these over the years and I have to keep replacing because the thumbsticks get drift rather quickly, and I've had frequent issues with the paddles becoming unusable or the bumpers becoming unusable. Get the protection plan!

    The elite controllers have come such a long way! They seem to be made much better than the original ones years ago. So far, it's been great and not needing batteries has been a huge plus!

    If you want a better controller than the already good Xbox controller, this is it. Any tech site you search will say the same thing. The biggest pros are 1. Thumbstick and paddles customization 2. Battery back up 3. Wireless charging 4. In built battery 5. Save 3 profiles The cons are 1. The price. This is too overpriced. Like, too much. I bought this in sale and still think it's pricey. Sucks. I don't have bottomless wallets. Maybe I am just whining. 2. Despite having apparently excellent build quality, durability still seems to be an issue as reported by various outlets. Please don't take my word for it. Do your research. 3. Wireless connection stutters when battery drops below 30%. This is jarring and makes me switch controllers while I charge this.
