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.

    With the toggles on the back, it frees up your thumbs for all movement. Great for FPS games, but also find it useful for Elder Scrolls Online, Smite, etc... Highly recommend for all gamers, don’t have to be a pro to use this controller.

    The ergonomics of the analogs and paddle buttons cant be beat. I use it for xbox and PC. I just now realized i should try and see if it works in my PS5 also.

    Exactly what I needed. Just keep in mind this is the core remote so you will need the attachments separately.

    microsoft failed to make this controller compliant with bluetooth after 4+ years of development. Do not buy, it can suddenly drift out of control whether due to bad parts that have no right existing in such an expensive controller or due to code, which is even sadder. it can stop working with xbox, *will*stop working with pc especially steam, and in about 40% of all steam games this controller will suddenly disconnect especially during boss battles. Theres nothing you can do fix that firmware updates wont work, steam cant help you, microsoft will try to blame game developers where as the developers have absolutely nothing to do with the development of microsofts flagship controller in short, this controller should have been subject to a mass recall years ago

    The Elite Series 2 is a great follow up to the original elite controller. Microsoft has seemed to listen to all the Series 1 feedback and improve upon that. I didn't think it were possible, but the Series 2 feels even more solid than the original.
