    MS Elite 2 Wireless Controller is off the wall good. Looks and feels fast and with the paddle shifters you really get the bang for the money.

    Understand that this product can come with issues. I recommend insurance on this product for easy exchange. Use the hell out if this remote. If you don’t and don’t have insurance you make see issues down the road and it may have issues when it’s out of manufacture warranty. I believe Microsoft recently increased the duration of their warranty but sending things to them and getting them back can take a month

    Great controller. No issues with it so far. Textured grip is amazing. I already bought a 2nd set of scuff pads.

    I had bought the elite 2 when the Xbox series X was released as I play Microsoft flight sim on my Xbox (when I can and it’s not crashing to the desktop). The battery died so I had to get a replacement. I’ve had to this controller and I like it better then the black elite series 2. It’s cheaper for go for it. Nothing beats the Skuf controllers.

    This controller is great. Just the feel of it is beyond words. The buttons are smooth and the paddles on the back are actually indescribable. The motion feels so smooth and the D Pad is perfect. The D Pad is why I bought this remote. I play Mortal Kombat and it’s so much smoother.

    So I’ve had two of these now. Replaced my first one under warranty. The first 6 months this controller is awesome... then it just breaks down, from buttons that stop working, the thumbsticks drifting and it looses connection regularly even with a full charge. Multiple resets and keeping updates on this controller, still have issues. I have the besbuy extended warranty and was told the only thing I could do is to wait. Either wait with a gift card or just hit the buy button when the unit is back online. Why not I turn it in and get my name in line like we do with our customers at the place where I work. Bestbuy is dying business model because they stopped caring for any member.... Ugh... so frustrated.
