    Really love not having to replace/recharge batteries. Love the feel. Can't get use to the paddles, had to remove them. Haven't gotten around to tweaking the settings nor controls. Don't really know if it was worth the $180.00, but it is better than the standard controller.

    Bought for my son. A Christmas present. He loves the remote and says its much better than the one that came with the unit. The controller is comfortable in hand and buttons are easy to reach! Microsoft got this remote right when they made this one.

    Is there much more to say? Its the best. It blows the Dualsense edge out of the water. Not like youre cross shopping the 2 controllers if you have an xbox but the Elite controller 2 is the best controller for the XSX by far.

    Best Xbox controller out there. Been using the elite series controllers for about a year now, no stick drift on any. Huge upgrade from the default. Connects with Xbox & PC smoothly.

    I have the first elite series and the second one I also bought as well. It is awesome too. It is expensive but it is a huge difference to use this in competitive matchups such as call of duty. You get a big advantage having this to customize much more and triggers and to change the feel layout of the controller how You want it to be!!

    Great product if you play a lot. The recharge feature alone was worth it for me. No more changing out batteries. Adjusting the hair triggers and fine tuning the sticks is a great asset in helping to get that slight edge in FPS. I Recommend the controller. Price is a bit high or I would have scored it higher.

    This is by far the best wireless and probbly wired controller on the market. Purchased after another wired premium brand controller broke. This has similar options, just minus 2 buttons. Should have bought this one from the beginning. Best feel and layout in my opinion for a controller. Only negative is the dish comes loose easily.

    My box Elite Series 2 controller is my favorite controller. I can setup the buttons how I want, and the paddle buttons on the rear make gaming much easier since I don’t have to remove my fingers from the control sticks to perform actions, which speeds up reactions. A must have accessory.

    Most comfortable controller I've ever used. No response delay and it definitely upgraded my game play... I still suck, but with this controller I know that I'm almost better than I used to be

    Hands down the best controller for the Xbox

    Pricy, but worth it if you spend a significant amount of time on the console. Sized and weighted perfectly 9may be small for those with large hands, though)! Paddle controls can take some getting used to and will occasionally cause issues with unintended hits on a given paddle. Swappable user controls and configurability are outstanding!

    Nice feeling controller but does suffer from either stick drift or sticking buttons. Get the best buy warranty and every year or 2 and you can just get a new one for i think $50

    Way better than normal controllers. Love the triggers. The only thing is that after a while the buttons start to fail and get stick drift.
