    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.

    Love the controller. Great holiday gift for someone this season. Has a great battery life. I probably need to charge it every week and a half or so. Feels very high quality. I dont want to go back to a reqular controller. Highly recommend

    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

    My boyfriend loves this controller so much now I can’t get him off the game. Got it on sale but to whoever is thinking about buying one it’s definitely worth it sale or not.

    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 :)

    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.

    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.

    Bought this for my son. From what I gather from him this controller is excellent compared to the non elite series. One of his favorite features is the built in battery. He said if this one ever goes kaput he would want another one just maybe a different color.

    I’ve always been a fan of these controllers. Love that you can tighten down the sticks, change how far you need to press the triggers, and also save 3 different settings for games.

    Much more appealing versus the previous models. Wireless with built in rechargeable battery with a dock, that you can plug in through the back of the case protecting everything whilst charging
