    As my title says, this controller is very comfortable in my hands. I have bigger hands so that was important to me. The weight is perfect and it pairs right up with Windows 11 without an issue.

    extremely good controller I love the elite controllers the Microsoft has made but these new ones are mind blowing. I wish they came with a case like my black elite series 2 but that’s not that big of a difference still get a great controller built to last with a great battery

    This controller is well worth the money! With the customization funtion you can always change with your game style. Also the grip on the sides feels very comfortable. The best part is the charging case which charges your controller while also protecting it. Definitely would recommend!

    This is my second elite controller. The first lasted almost 2 years before getting crushed in a suitcase, but it was perfect the entire time. Long battery life, great performance. Love the solid feel compared to the lighter stock controller.

    This controller is much better than the series 1. I especially like the adjustable tension of the joysticks. No problems with stick drift like the last series. Only complaint I have is the A button sticks occasionally and there is an inconsistent pressure it takes for each paddle to trigger. Overall it is a complete upgrade from the standard controller!

    By far the best controller ive ever played with! It fits in the hands very nice. Holding the controller is incredible! And youll never run out of ways to set up this controller to make it your own! I just wish there were more colors.

    Please purchase the geek squad warranty, this is the best feeling controller on Xbox one but if you drop it at least once you might not have functional buttons no more and you will have to buy another controller, this is my third and I had to finally pay the extra cash to know that I can get my controller replaced if something goes wrong

    Had it for some time now, build is much better than the original Elite controller but still shares some of its quality woes, especially when it comes to stick drift. They could really fix stick drift issues with an adjustable dead zone in their accessories program, but I digress. Still the best feeling controller I've used by a mile.

    I recently purchased this item and my family and I LOVE it! It feels solid and made well and the controls are very smooth. The fact that you charge it in the case and don’t need batteries to keep it running it a HUGE win in my opinion. Overall this controller is very well done. And for those who don’t like or want to use the extra paddles they are easily removable. Well done!

    Make sure you buy Best buy's $60 2-year warranty on this. You're going to be able to use it. I'm on my third one now. You have to buy a new warranty every time you trade it in for issues (stick drift on all of them. Right bumper stopped working on one of them. A button got so mushy you couldn't even feel when you were pressing it on two of them). But only having to pay the warranty cost after the initial purchase has been good. It's worth the $60/yr since I would have been wearing out a normal controller every year anyway. The Microsoft should really be ashamed of themselves for using plastic underneath of the joysticks on their elite controllers.

    Microsoft Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2

    Microsoft's Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 has a not only a premium feel as noted by other reviewers, but also a quality appearance. Optional buttons and adjustments that be made to the controller only add to a stellar gaming experience. Price point might be considered a bit high, but definitely worth it if it can be purchased at a sale price.
