    This controller makes the regular ones seem really cheap. You won’t want to go back and if you don’t like the finger buttons under, you can remove them. It’s great to be able to charge it via USB-C and not have batteries / battery packs Hands down the best controller and can’t wait for PlayStation’s version soon either. Well worth it and if you’re thinking about getting it, just do it

    This is my 3rd Elite series 2 controller. The first two had issues with the bumpers (one right after the one year warranty, the second one almost at 6months). The controller itself offers great utility but for whatever reason the bumpers fail to stand the test of time.

    So far, I can say I really enjoy this controller. It fixed many of the minor issues with the elite 1. The controller itself is the size of the average Xbox one controller. The grips feel natural and don't get in my way. The paddels, even though I don't use them, seem like they would be comfortable for someone who uses them. The battery lasts an incredible amount of time before it needs a charge, which can be charged in the case with the attached usb-c cable. Overall, I am happy I bought the elite 2, which is worth the money.

    Best controller ever. I've used the series 1 and other normal controllers. These one is hands down amazing. Grip around the whole thing. Rechargeable battery that can dock inside the case with the charger coming in through the back. Adjustment tool to loosen or tighten the sticks. 1/4 pull on the triggers instead of a half pull. Whole thing feels sturdy with a nice weight to it. How many normal controllers have you purchased? 2 or 3? Could of bought this and definitely should. Stop buying crappy controllers.

    Severe drift right out of the box

    I love the controller as far as the way they made it and the way it feels in the hand. It has a nice premium weight to it that I appreciate. Having the four extra triggers are great I’ve had them for a few years on several controllers so I’m used to that by now but my serious problem is the drift. I’ve read a lot of nightmare reviews about people having a bad drift a few weeks after having it which made me not wanna buy it but I figured I would take a chance. I open the box paired the controller and started the new halo campaign up and instantly there was drift. And no matter what I did or what setting I put it on I cannot fix it I could slow it down a little bit but no matter what it would ruin my game every time . So the fact that I got drift from a brand new controller out of the box is absolutely unacceptable and I will be returning. It’s a shame.

    The first Xbox elite controller would get stick drift in under a month. This Elite series 2 controller lasted for 1 year and a couple months before getting stick drift! I highly recommend purchasing geek squad protection so when stick drift happens you can get a replacement. These controllers are usually not kept in stock in stores so you will have to place an order and wait for it to arrive. The price tag is high but I feel it’s worth it for this series of the elite controller.

    This controller is reasonable and works well with my A40s headset. I really enjoy the option of wired or wireless. It makes a difference. Especially, playing FPS games.
