    Fantastic upgrade from the Elite 1. The built in rechargeable battery is great and lasts several days of heavy use. The paddles are reconfigured and are a little smaller and I find them more responsive. The build is solid. Dont hesitate.

    First and foremost, the build quality is exceptional. From the moment you hold it, the Elite Series 2 exudes durability and sophistication. The matte finish feels premium in hand, and the rubberized grips provide a reassuring hold during even the most intense gaming sessions. It's evident that Microsoft has paid meticulous attention to every detail, ensuring that every component feels solid and well-crafted.

    Upgraded to this controller after my regular one died. This one is great. The paddles make for quicker gameplay and the battery lasts all day easily. Plus it feels more solid than the regular ones.

    This is one of if not the best controller I’ve ever owned. The grip helps with perspiration, the paddles on the back help with gameplay, and the interchangeable thumb sticks are good for different games. I recommend this controller fully.

    Top Choice for a Hardcore Gamer

    The Xbox Elite Series 2 controller is awesome-super customizable, from the bumpers to the Xbox logo light, To mapping a button for the achievements page, and so much more . It feels great in my hands and really steps up my gaming. But here’s the problem: I paid for an “excellent” open box controller, expecting almost new quality, but got one with broken buttons and bumpers. Support told me I had to drive an hour to return it, which just isn’t doable with my night shifts and being a single dad. I wish they’d let me ship it back or at least offered some money back for the hassle and receiving the cheaper controller. Awesome controller, but the buying experience was a letdown.

    After a few months the bumpers stopped working properly and the tension adjusters for the triggers broke off. Still a phenomenal controller and would recommend it to anyone who wants a premium controller
