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.

    Straight out of the box it had stick drift, not something to expect out of a controller of this price…

    After receiving the open box product which was allegedly labeled as excellent, i really enjoyed how responsive the controller was. I quickly noticed that the internal battery no longer held a charge since the controller would immediately lose power once disconnected from a charger.

    Heavier than the series 1 controller

    This series 2 elite controller does not have a removable battery like the first one did, you get a charger to plug it in via usb or you can just lay it in the case and it charges just by having the controller laying in it's own case. It's case it hardwired when charging. Also, it weighs more than the first one, so keep that in mind if your wrists start to hurt. Overall it's a nice controller, let's see if this one can hold up to play time unlike it's predecessor! It's compatible with the "new" xbox that is supposedly coming out soon.

    I’ve had the original elite, multiple scuff controllers, and the razer Wolverine. I’ve had this controller for a few months now and is hands down the best of all in my opinion extremely pleased with this purchase.

    This is better than the original and has add on features, but you do pay a premium for the color which seems excessive.

    Fantastic controller. Worked perfectly out of the box, despite what some have said. I thought the original Elite controller was the best I had ever used until I got this one. The Series 2 is superior in every way.

    Got open item in excellent condition. Definitely don’t think it was tested cuz it was good at best.. some of the buttons didn’t work, but was able to get replacements at a low enough additional cost so I swapped them out and now works okay. Rubber grip is misaligned so kinda bubbles out

    Much better than the first edition. The grips actually stay on. R stick and L stick buttons are a little to sensitive, but otherwise its great.

    They made subtle tweaks, but they’re all an improvement over the last generation. Still a much better value than the latest Scuf.
