    Best controller on the market hands down

    Xbox Elite 2 controller is the best controller on the market. I've used them for years and they're well worth the price. If you're not a fan of using back paddles then the Elite Series 2 core is perfect for you. It took 1000s of hours for mine to develop any sort of stick drift, the average gamer will never encounter this problem, even then it was minimal. If you do use paddles, the placement of these is spectacular. They fall exactly where you lay your fingers naturally and are crisp with firm presses every time. The grip is nice and the design is great. 5/5. Perfection.

    What can I say. It’s a controller. I had my gen 1 for 7 years before it finally broke. My niece stepped on it and snapped the bumper. Cracked right in the middle, I knew it was time. With peeling material and broken bumpers. We upgraded. I’m glad I did. It feels great when playing some COD. Highly recommend. 10/10

    Been enjoying my Elite 2 controller. Love the weight behind it and the way the joy sticks and paddles feel. I also like being able to adjust the trigger distance when playing first person shooters.

    This was the one I swapped the blue controller with that was definitely a refurbished being sold as new. This on had no paddle presets, xbox light is bright and it was 100% clean. I just didn't want white because it gets dirty faster but it was the only other one available besides the normal elite series 2 for $200. Other then that great controller and it works just like the normal elite 2s. Very happy with the product and that it was new and not used.

    Bought this as a replacement for my faulty Astro C40 controller which is now discontinued. Fortunately I was able to easily return that for this Elite controller through the Geek Squad replacement program which I highly reccomend for any controller if you're a heavy gamer. Regardless, the controller is great. I wish it was slightly larger for my bigger hands but thats just preference. I think this controller is a great value considering the included accessories you get, not forcing you to buy them seperately. The software you download via microsoft is also pretty sharp and gives you lots of options to fine tune your controller. Probably not the most optimal choice for pro gamers but a nice addition to your collection if you want something a bit more customizable then your standard controller.

    This is by far the best I have ever had! The quality is beyond what I was expecting. The battery life is phenomenal. I still haven’t had to charge it. It was really pricy though. Not sure it’s worth $180. Over $200 with geek squad protection. If you want a really great controller though, this is the one.

    I have used the Original Elite and the Series 2 for years. By far the best controller on the market for me. Everything is extremely high quality, and i believe there is no comparison. Even the weighted feel, feels premium and durable. Its hard to find paddles on other controllers that are as comfortable as the Elite, especially with 4 paddle. So much customization you can do to give you every gaming advantage.

    The price is steep but 100% worth what your paying for! Got 4 elite controllers for my spouse, kids and me and all them still work like new with no issues with the oldest controller being about 2 years old now. $100 for the core version is well worth it since it seems like the basic controllers would become victim to stick drift within 6/7 _-_- months in!

    Hands down the best!! Out of all the controllers I’ve used the elite series 2 beats them all! Vastly improved from the series 1. Heavy feel in your hand, superior battery life, fully rubberized, interchangeable control sticks which the tension can also be adjusted, trigger tension can also be adjusted. 4 additional triggers can be added although I don’t use them because the way I grip the controller I accidentally press them sometimes, so you can conveniently remove them or only use the ones you want. Multiple users can be saved to the controller for different configurations as well. Highly recommend paying for the geek squad protection plan, as it is a replacement plan. So if ANYTHING at all ever goes wrong with it they will replace it with a brand new one. My sticks started drifting so I brought it in and they replaced it with no questions asked, they were out of stock so they just shipped it to my home and had it in 2 days.
