    Elite Series 2 controller is very solid, and feels very good in my hands. The customization is good to set up your controller to your style of play, and when not playing a shooter your can put to respond like a regular controller to play Madden. So you have two controllers in one if you want to compete or not this controller is a must have. Money well spent.

    These controllers bring your gaming to the next level. I bought these for my sons, who play Fortnite against their friends, and they are dominating. It is built incredibly well and has excellent battery life.

    Huge upgrade from standard Xbox controllers

    A great controller overall, got it for my series x. Love the hair trigger and customization features. Expensive but truly feels like a premium controller. Only downsides are that Microsoft will likely introduce a series 3 soon that incorporates haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and the share button that is currently on series x controllers in order to compete with the incredible dual sense.

    Good controller with good external build quality and feel. Always get the warranty as this controller is known to have issues with stick drift or buttons getting stuck. Great while it works!

    I use this controller for pc gaming and this thing is sweet. Controls are tight without drifting off. Different ways to customize the triggers to get quicker response. Would definitely recommend.

    The built-in battery pack and grips are great. Charge lasts 1-2days with 5 hour play. The sensitivity slide bars below don’t seem to make a big difference. I would have liked the paddle controls as an option.

    My go to controller. High quality, triggers are adjustable (although i didn't really change them often.) Also the extra buttons on the back are nice, but haven't really needed to use them. Still love the case, the charging, and the feel of it. Expensive, but worth it
