    The best controller on the market! The Series 2 has everything you could want. I know people will complain about the build quality. I had the series 1. Take care of it and it will last, I recommend getting Best Buys protection plan. 2 years is worth it.

    I purchased this after returning the hori fighting stick and it was the best decision i made. The D-pad just works better for me when playing street fighter 6.

    Comfortable and sturdy controller. Even with the size of my hands, the controller sits in there well (hands are kinda small). Remapping feature is really nice, and the shift ability also. Works well on my pc and Xbox

    Katie instantly went up due to the trigger adjustments. I'm coming from a PS5 controller on PC. I got to get used to the rest of the other features but I really like it

    Great controller but I have had three of them and all three had problems! First two had the left bumper break after only 2.5 months of owning it. I literally treated these controllers like a baby and maybe dropped them 2 times in total. The last one had stick drift so I gave it back and grabbed a cheaper controller w paddles and it works great... if you chose to buy the Xbox elite controller the two year warranty saved me easily 250$

    Good quality of materials, it looks aesthetically better than the previous series, I don't know what difference it has inside if it is true that they made improvements to the errors of the previous version.

    Controller works fantastic! One slight problem is the y button likes to double press during rocket league. But other than that it works great!

    I can honestly say this controller can make you better at certain games. Super mega baseball 3 for instance. I bought this controller specifically to play that game. The game has fine touch reticle movements that benefit from this controllers ability to change the tension on the sticks.

    This Xbox elite 2 controller is the best thing you can buy for your gaming experience. One problem this controller has though is the joystick may ware out faster than you think so definitely buy warranty to swap when you feel controller drift.

    Been waiting for this controller to be released and I was not disappointed. Minor improvements from the last generation but they were very welcomed. Microsoft should've incorporated a rechargeable battery years ago for their controllers but I guess they wanted the money from the battery companies.
