Geat controller very comfy to use back paddles for every game title to switch button last long on battery

Love the grip on the controller, love the settings and everyone at my best buy location was very helpful and had great service!

I bought the Microsoft Elite Series 2 wireless controller to play some games on my PC and Xbox. It's a pretty good controller, but not perfect. The design is sleek and comfortable, and the buttons are responsive and customizable. The battery life is also impressive, lasting for hours on a single charge. However, I have some issues with the durability and the price. The controller feels a bit fragile, and I'm worried it might break easily. The price is also quite high, especially compared to other controllers on the market. Overall, I think it's a decent controller for gaming, but not worth the hype.

Love this controller. Great battery life and very comfortable

The Xbox controller is already one of my favorites. Going to the Elite 2 really made it feel cheap and that is saying something. It has a quality weight, incredible battery life, and the customization's are something I have wanted for a long time. Worth every dime - I am glad I invested in this - it's incredible.

I love this bad boy. I was hesitant spending that much money on a controller but man, it's worth it. Setting the paddles up for custom use on different games is a breeze. It has greatly improved my play in FPS like Warzone. Feels amazing in the hands. Charge is ridiculously long. I simply love it.

Great controller great battery life will never use a normal controller again

Wow!! the quality on these are amazing. So I normally play fifa or madden, butt thought about a switch to fps games and though might as well givr these a try, and wow are they great. You have more customizations and the controller feels sturdy in your hands, its a good investment for sure.

Really nice controller. Comfortable, light weight. If you’re looking for a controller that works with your Xbox, and your computer. You can’t go wrong with the elite.

Just grabbed the Microsoft Elite Series 2 controller and it’s been amazing for my Apex Legends sessions! The build is super solid, and it feels premium in my hands. What really stands out are the paddles at the back. They make a huge difference in fast-paced games like Apex. I can jump, reload, and do all sorts of moves without taking my thumbs off the sticks. It’s been a game-changer for sure, making everything more responsive and upping my game. The battery life is great too, lasting through even the longest gaming marathons. If you’re big into games like Apex, this controller is a must-have!

These are great controllers. The battery life is awesome, i do get about 40hrs of play time if not a little more. I like the customization of the controller, fully mapping buttons yo my preference and has also definitely made my gaming experience much better. The only con to this controller is the price but they last do much longer. I currently have 3 of them, 1 for each of my consoles and my oldest one is around 5-6 years old and still no issues. I woulf definitely recommend even if have to save up a little longer for it.

This is a good gaming controller. Depending on how you treat your controllers it'll get stick drift. I use this controller only for fighting and fps games. The stick drift does t move on its own. The extra button only in handy with farming/ mining games. The extra buttons are not customizable. Just an extension for the other buttons xyba. Other than that it's a great buy. Feels good in the hands has a good weight

"Professional" reviews are normally hit or miss and here lately complete garbage. Wanted one of these for a while, so I got one. I was one that could only play 1st person shooters with keyboard and mouse. Tried many times with the Xbox wireless controller, but no way. After setting up the Elite with the windows app and a little practice, I am now playing 1st person shooters almost as good as a keyboard and mouse with the convenience of a controller. Its just more fun. The customization in the app is very nice. Stick curve and sensitivity along with full button customization. There is also recalibration. The controller feels premium and comfortable, I use all four paddles and dont need to touch the keyboard for normal play controls. After just a few days I tried the older wireless controller again and couldnt put it away fast enough. If you are on the fence about it, dont be! The additional sticks are a must. Magnetic charger is awesome.

This is by far the best I have ever had! The quality is beyond what I was expecting. The battery life is phenomenal. I still haven’t had to charge it. It was really pricy though. Not sure it’s worth $180. Over $200 with geek squad protection. If you want a really great controller though, this is the one.

High price while not including the rear buttons. The grip is nice and the battery life is excellent. The ABXY buttons are loud and feel cheaper than even my cheap back up controller. The D-pad also feels cheap and you can hear the low quality spring inside it. The vibration works well. Hopefully lasts longer than the controller included with the console, which started drifting after about 100 hours of use. In conclusion, way overpriced for this level of quality.

This device checks a lot of boxes. It's really comfortable to hold, and has a nice weight to it. Clearly uses good materials as it just feels great to hold and use. The problem is that it's very unreliable. I've now gone through 3 of these via warranty repair, which is crazy for a device of this sort. My regular Xbox controllers have worked solidly (minus some wear on the rubber from use), but the Elite Series 2 has had issues with the bumpers across all the devices I've had within 6 months. A very frustrating experience, and definitely would recommend waiting until a version 3 or updated release where Microsoft has sorted out these issues. Search online, they're very common.

Great controller, no issues with it. I only gave 4 Stars since I purchased an open box excellent and it did not contain the charger for the case or all of the joysticks. My local Best Buy was unable to assist me further.

Xbox Elite 2 controller is the best controller on the market. I've used them for years and they're well worth the price. If you're not a fan of using back paddles then the Elite Series 2 core is perfect for you. It took 1000s of hours for mine to develop any sort of stick drift, the average gamer will never encounter this problem, even then it was minimal. If you do use paddles, the placement of these is spectacular. They fall exactly where you lay your fingers naturally and are crisp with firm presses every time. The grip is nice and the design is great. 5/5. Perfection.

Smooth, sleek, has the convenience of adjusting to your comfort with the additional tiols and accessories

Bought this as a replacement for my faulty Astro C40 controller which is now discontinued. Fortunately I was able to easily return that for this Elite controller through the Geek Squad replacement program which I highly reccomend for any controller if you're a heavy gamer. Regardless, the controller is great. I wish it was slightly larger for my bigger hands but thats just preference. I think this controller is a great value considering the included accessories you get, not forcing you to buy them seperately. The software you download via microsoft is also pretty sharp and gives you lots of options to fine tune your controller. Probably not the most optimal choice for pro gamers but a nice addition to your collection if you want something a bit more customizable then your standard controller.
