    Great controller! But when that stick drift happens it’s a wrap. Worth getting the geek squad insurance so you walk in and out with a new controller without any fuss.

    Had the original and loved the customization. The 2 series has even more! I really like the 3 different trigger settings, for the pull. The tensioners on the joysticks as I have a heavy hand. Been using it for a bit and I really enjoy it! Haven’t had to charge it up yet so the battery life has been awesome! The price tag is my only complaint about it.

    Solid investment. I bought it to see if my gameplay could improve with a better controller. It definitely helped most of the FPS games I play. It has a ton of customization options on the controller itself and in the app to change button mapping, etc. Worth it in my opinion. Battery lasts forever.

    I purchased this controller for gaming on my PC. It connects via Bluetooth and operates flawlessly. I love the paddles on the back. I previously used a Scuf gaming PS4 remote with paddles. This controller has a higher quality feel to it.

    This is the third controller that I bought for my Xbox. It was expensive compared to the other two, but it is actually the best thus far. Very comfortable and the battery life is much better, lasting almost 16 hours. The fact that you can charge it while inside the case is a plus. I highly recommend this controller.

    Love it and hate it. Physically it's incredible looking and feeling -- just what you would want out of a $200 controller. Would give 5 stars, except that out of the box my A button was less responsive than X Y B, and my right trigger developed a crunching / squeaking noise... which is not cool for a $200 controller. Bestbuy product page states you are buying a Model:FST-00008 version of the controller, and yet I received a Model:FST-00001. So... not sure why that was either, and thus I have to give 3 stars. If you can get one without any issues, or you don't care about the issues I mentioned, then don't hesitate on buying one. Product received via shipping on January 30th, 2021.

    I bought this controller in excellent condition open box. I don’t think I would consider it in excellent condition, but the controller itself is amazing. I love the back detachable buttons, and the weight of the controller Is on the heavy side, which gives it a premium feel. It definitely feels like a $200 controller. If you’re a hard-core gamer, I recommend buying it. You can map out the buttons on the accessories app on your Xbox very easily. You can also create up to three profiles. I don’t recommend it for the casual gamer.

    This is my first time buying elite controller for any gaming system The problem I have with this controller is they put this rubber grip on there but it comes off on the edges I've only had this controller 6 months for the price I spent on it I shouldn't have these issues until they fix the glue issue I do not recommend buying

    This is my very first controller. I can say nothing about other controllers. (Cuz I'm PC Gamer) But I'm really sure this Elite controller 2 feels so good in the hands and the battery life is Awesome. I played 8-13 hours every day for 4 days without charging. (for testing battery). I recommend Elite Controller Series 2 for PC (if you want more challenge) and of course for Xbox

    Once you purchase this amazing controller you will never be able to go back to standard. It feels incredible and having paddles is amazing for FPS games. The charge holds for what feels like days of non stop playing and do I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Yes it's expensive for a controller but if you are a serous gamer that plays daily this is a must buy!

    The controller is a great addition for me due to the fact that I play a majority of first person shooter games ( mostly rainbow 6 siege ) and I am able to utilize multiple features that the controller offers including the trigger stops and paddles. Although the price is somewhat steep I would say that when they re stock that it is worth the purchase

    Bought this control so I can get the extra help in battles in warzone, specifically with the paddles ofcourse to help crouch and jump, it works amazing. Controller is solid and feels great in hands, quality is amazing. The internal battery and charge is the best. The case it came with is great. Really expensive but worth the upgrade, made sure to get insurance with this as well.

    Attention to detail and high level customization

    So many teviews pointing at the quality of the controller and I wont reapeat it, agreed. I have been using the elite series 1 and never did i though it was missing features, it has been great and zero issue (use adapter for playin with it on ps4 and switch whick makes gaming super enjoyable in every console). Then got the elite series 2 and was floored ny how much everything was improved. One detail I want to mention is the hair triggers function. In previous elite shortening the rhow of the trigger will make it by default that the maximum balues could not be reach (full trigger pull values) without adjusting in the software customization. Not a big deal nor a problem since all it takes is a quick adjustment in the trigger tab for customization. In the elite series 2 they made it so that when changing the total pull for the trigger (three option total), each option when changed automatically adjusts the reading from the trigger so that one gets full press galues even at the shortest throw. This is incredible attention to detail becuase it was absolutely acceptable to let the user go into the setting and adjsut it, but they decided to go the extar mile and make it happen on the fly. In short, is an epic controller for an epic console (Xbox X) and the upcoming new Xbox. Once you have you wont look back and because this controllers usually last a long time you will get your moneys worth.
