    Definitely an improvement from the black series 2 ones. They tried to right their wrongs with these white, red and blue ones (America!) . They are built sturdier i feel. And if you had the black one before with the charger base and all the paddles and such, just switch the paddles over to this core controller because it doesn't come with any of that. To me it was a no brainer . Definitely xbox best controller so far. The razer wolverine is nice, but the paddles are in a very awkward spot. This elite series 2 is where it's at, better than the original runs in black.

    This controller looks and feels great. Also it responds very well. I love that you can adjust the joy sticks and that it has an push button customization setting. All and all The Xbox Elite Controller 2 is way better than the first Elite Controller. GREAT JOB!!!

    Controller is great and i would definitely recommend on buying one over any controller ! But after 6 months , my left stick is getting a lag when I walk backwards playing zombies or multiplayer on Cold War , good thing I paid for my geek squad coverage !

    This controller feels nice and easy to use. I have not had any issues with it so far. All though this controller uses a rechargeable battery, the battery life on this controller is very good.

    If you are looking for a pro controller that is easily adaptable and has a long lasting battery, this is the controller to get. Most buttons are replaceable, there many ways to customize, easy to change configurations, you forget don't have to charge as often.

    Having the paddles is very convenient for any shooter game. The controller definitely has a premium feel to it, but my left thumbstick was faulty and I had to return it.

    Heavy duty, way better than the normal controller. Feels a lot more premium, should come with every xbox. A little expensive though.

    I just got xbox elite series 2 yesterday! Love the feel, the extra buttons, and mainly the warranty! I have had issues with thumbsticks / sensors wearing out in the past on regular xbox controllers, but Microsoft's warranty covers it with this controller!!!!! I am so happy and can not wait to really get grinding with this controller! I initially was going to purchase a Scuf, but after a great review I watched on Youtube.com (Scuf vs Elite series 2), I asked to cancel the order and asked for a refund and headed straight to Bestbuy. Even though Microsoft covers it for a year (and you can buy 2 additional years), i opted to by the warranty through the GeekSquad for 2 years, because they would replace it immediately (and i would not have to wait to send the controller in and wait for one to be sent back).

    I had ordered this as an open box to save some money and was really suprised by how good it truly was. It was as if the previous owner only used this for about a week before they returned it. I will definitely be buying open box products in the future.

    Really works great, much easier to play with then the old controllers , but is on the expensive side. The down side is if you need a controller for your friend to play duels their stuck using the old ones. And having to keep both new and old around just Clutters the place up

    Much Better than the TB stealth Ultra

    I swapped from the Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra controller, and haven’t regretted it a bit. My only complaint is that I lost my capture button because it was replaced with the profile swap button, and I have no way to remap it. But the ability to use one of the paddles as a function key, allowing the other buttons to have dual uses, depending on if the function button is pressed or not, made it not that big of a deal.

    I'm still getting used to having the paddles on the back, I was hitting them by mistake. So I took the 2 big ones off and only use the 2 smalls in the top slots. What I like most is the versatility and options. It's solid and the battery lasts so far.
