Customers are saying
Customers express satisfaction with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options, along with its comfortable feel and good weight. However, a significant concern among users is the prevalence of stick drift and issues with button quality, particularly with the bumpers and A button. The price is also a point of hesitation for some.

Amazing
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great controller. I bought this for my shooting games Call of Duty and Destiny. I would recommend configuring the controller through the Xbox accessories tab whenever you make adjustments on the controller itself.

You Get What You Pay For
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does everything you hope it will do and more. The controller is easy to use, easy to charge and the paddles on the back are comfortable. I haven’t had any issues with stick drift but did have a little X button stickiness from first opening. No issues or concerns with the controller and well worth the price tag.

Amazing!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The elite series 2 controller is fantastic. I will never go back to another controller. The only problem with these is that they break down easily. An example of this is the bumpers just stop working. Definitely an item to get geek squad protection on as they will replace it for you.

Xbox series 2 core Controller is next gen!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really love this controller! Originally purchased an elite series 2, and traded for this and haven’t looked back. I bought some aftermarket paddles and I’m good to go for pretty much anything I could want to control in a game. I have found that it’s super helpful to map the L3 and R3 button clicks to the bottom paddles. That is worth the price of admission alone the triggers feel amazing, the grips in your hands on your skin just feel next level. I recently purchased an Xbox to play Starfield being a PS5 I thought I was going to have problems with the controller, but I prefer this one to the PlayStation. If you are a new Xbox user go for this upgrade with confidence!

High quality
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Once you use this controller, you'll never want to go back to any other regular controller again. Very high quality and the rechargeable battery lasts an unbelievable amount of time. I have only had to charge it once since buying it 3 months ago. It does take some getting use to with the added pedal buttons.

Great Controller, Not So Great Price
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The price is high. Let’s get that out of the way. But the features you get including almost full customization and rechargeable battery are awesome. Not to mention this will work with the Xbox Series X and it’s by far the best feeling controller I’ve ever owned. Hopefully it will hold up in the long term.

Elite Series 2
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Feels good in your hands. Battery lasts for well over a week of gaming daily. I initially purchased a cheap knockoff but returned them almost immediately. It is worth the extra money.

Digging the new features
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had two original Elite Controllers. I enjoyed the feel and the features but had quite a few issues with the bumpers on my first one and the second one I had started having issues with the left stick drifting a lot. Since I had the warranty plan I brought it back and upgraded to the Series 2, It feels like they upgraded the shape and it feels better than the one. The grips also feel better and seem like they have less chance of peeling off as it did with my first Elite. The shape and placement of the top paddles feel better. My favorite new feature is the extra setting on the triggers. Great for FPS and other games where it's nice to just have a quick click rather than a long pull. I also recommend the Best Buy warranty with a controller this expensive. Sure it's more expensive on an already expensive controller but paying the extra money now is worth it to be able to upgrade to a new controller down the road if needed.

It's great, but overpriced
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like it a lot, but I feel like it was overpriced, even though it's being sold as a premium product. I really like the extra buttons on the back, and the fact that you can reprogram all the buttons. The extra long thumb stick is nice for extra precision. It feels good in the hands. It's heavier than the stock controllers, but not so much that it gets tiring to hold. The adjustable trigger travel distance is cool for shooters where you have to react quickly. The rubberized hand grips feel nice and keep my hands relatively cool. It comes with a nice zippered travel case with a built-in charging dock that can be used while it's in the case, or it can be removed from the case and used separately to charge the controller. I don't plan to take this anywhere, but I keep it in the case, next to my TV. I leave it closed, but unzipped, so it's still easy to access, but it keeps it from getting dust on it (I don't get time to play as often as I would like) Overall, if you play a lot of Xbox, it's probably a worthwhile investment.

A must for serious gamers!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller is a must for anyone serious about gaming. Made with much higher quality parts than the standard controller. You can feel the weight. The additional paddle controls make it great for adding a jump button so you don't have to take your thumb off the air stick.
