    Great controller. It is a bit pricy, but it seems to last longer than standard Xbox controllers from getting stuck drift. The paddles are nice since you can take them off and put them on when convenient. The hard case that it comes with is very nice for storing the interchangeable D-Pad/joystick pieces.

    Hands down the best!! Out of all the controllers I’ve used the elite series 2 beats them all! Vastly improved from the series 1. Heavy feel in your hand, superior battery life, fully rubberized, interchangeable control sticks which the tension can also be adjusted, trigger tension can also be adjusted. 4 additional triggers can be added although I don’t use them because the way I grip the controller I accidentally press them sometimes, so you can conveniently remove them or only use the ones you want. Multiple users can be saved to the controller for different configurations as well. Highly recommend paying for the geek squad protection plan, as it is a replacement plan. So if ANYTHING at all ever goes wrong with it they will replace it with a brand new one. My sticks started drifting so I brought it in and they replaced it with no questions asked, they were out of stock so they just shipped it to my home and had it in 2 days.

    I have had many different brands of controllers and this is by far the best one yet. I own an elite and many scuff and I believe there is no comparison. The elite two is rechargeable with three settings for trigger stops and perfect grip and balance even better then the first elite. Great job!

    The battery is just amazing. Also you can change the color on the controller where the xbox logo is. The weight is just perfect and the customizing is endless. Worth the buy

    I think personally for me the only way to play any console games is on a controller like this, whether you play Xbox or PlayStation paddles have been such a game changer. As for this specific controller it has served me well and I think it is a solid choice without being too pricey.

    I have used the Original Elite and the Series 2 for years. By far the best controller on the market for me. Everything is extremely high quality, and i believe there is no comparison. Even the weighted feel, feels premium and durable. Its hard to find paddles on other controllers that are as comfortable as the Elite, especially with 4 paddle. So much customization you can do to give you every gaming advantage.

    Absolutely love the design of these controllers especially being able to tighten the sticks, which if I’m being honest is really the only reason I’ve bought this controller 5 times now. Every single one has had either horrible stick drift or one of the bumpers stop working. Other than that love the controllers. Also they all lose stiffness in the sticks when they are tightened over time.

    Pros: Solid Build Feels good in the hands Customization Cons: None TLDR: Buying one of these will last you considerably longer than the standard controller which will end up costing more in the long run.

    Okay, so I've never had an elite style controller before, but after awkwardly attempting to multitask in games with a regular controller, i decided to bite the bullet and buy this thing. The last two controllers i had were regular and didn't last long. I've only had it for about a week but it is AMAZING. The extra controls allow me to do multiple things at once and I don't think I'll ever go back to a basic controller. This works flawlessly. It feels great in your hands, customization is a breeze, and mapping is very easy. The battery lasts a really long time, too. I fully charged it before using it and I play around 12hrs a day, and the battery life barely lost a bar after a week. I know these are notorious for having issues, but mine has none. I will only update my review if I start to have issues. I received it on 5/17/2020, so if I haven't updated with any issues, you can safely assume it's still working perfectly! Highly recommend!!

    Finally a remote that fits perfectly in my hands. Removable paddles on the bottom make it where your hands never leave the remote. Adjustable triggers are also a plus.

    This is my second elite controller I’ve bought. My first one I purchased a long time ago and it finally gave out. Instead of trying something else I bought another one because in my opinion there is no better controller. You won’t regret this purchase.

    I can’t give to much detail as I only had the controller for a week but I ordered an open box excellent condition, but was sent a controller in “good” condition. The b button did not work and the key to tighten and loosen the thumb sticks was not included and they were tightened to the point that they were stiff. I ended up returning it because I spent $100 on a controller that was unusable and not what I’d ordered.

    I brought this controller because i needed to replace my XBox Elite Controller and i find this one better than the previous! I like the color, the customability, the durability and its a plug & play! Very simple, yet very effective!
