    Got this to replace the old elite core controller. This feels somewhat better but the black runner grip is coming loose after one month. RB still works & no drift yet. Definitely buy the replacement warranty. Too expensive not to.

    There's plenty of third-party accessories for this controller, so don't feel like you're missing out on anything and they can be had for less than buying the regular Elite controller. The only downside is that there's no way to easily replace it if there's stick drift. I wish it had Hall Effect joysticks or replaceable ones like another Edge controller for another company ;-), but that said, I still have the original Elite and it's working great and it's a few years old at this point. So I have no fear this will also pass the test of time!

    Xbox series Elite 2 controller review

    It is a nice controller it would be a great controller if they could fix all the issues with the drift and the dead zones and also the price is kind of high for what it is I think it should be only about $80 I don't think it's worth the almost $200 it would be a $200 controller if it used Titanium or something but I'm sure the cost of the material is not warranted $200 but it is a nice controller over the stock ones. I like the stock ones too of course it doesn't have all the other features that the this one has but I can live with the stock one because it's only $49 on sale and this is $200 so I can buy four regular controllers for the price of one of these but it's up to you preference and your money situation

    Elite S2 Controller is one of the best, if not, THE best Xbox controller out there. The controller itself is insanely comfortable and the paddles are super helpful if the time is put in to use them. The adjustments for the sticks are odd, but useful in many high level games that any gamer should be able to do regardless of controller. Great piece of hardware for any serious nerd out there trying to dominate some games. Enjoy :)

    Bought this controller as an avid PS4 controller fan and have to admit this controller exceeded my expectations. I'm very happy with all the features (paddles, joy stick tension adjustment and multiple config button mappings) to name a few. I was still planning to go back to my custom made ps4 controller, but after using this controller for a few days I'm just going to stick the this one. Even bought the 2 year warranty. Hightly recommended for anyone's gaming needs.

    One of the most comfortable controllers I’ve used in a very long time. I’m usually not a fan of grips on the controller but it really feels nice and another plus would be the battery life I rarely have to recharge my controller

    Great battery life, feel, quality. Now that I'be used paddles, I can't go back. Took off one star due to weak bumper design. This gen is better than last, but still not very durable.

    The price, the easiness to operate this controller, customize your buttons, the color. This is the cheap version beacuse it does not come with the paddles, nor.does it comw with the case ,however the quality of the controller is excellent.

    super comfortable controller but my only issue, which it very well could be only mine, is that the A button has a deadzone on the bottom of it so I have to press it a bit more cautiously. Other than that, it is fantastic.

    I honest didn't think an elite controller would feel any different. Holy crap was I wrong. This thing is AMAZING. Feels perfect in my hands. Love the weight. Being able to swap about joysticks with different versions is amazing. Love the quick buttons on the backside. Battery life is amazing. Definitely worth the price if you do a lot of gaming.

    Controller feels nice, has a nice quality feel to it. Only issue is the sides of the controller have been lifting and the RB button works about 40% if the time. Awesome controller, 5 starts if I wasn’t experiencing those issues.

    This is my second time buying this controller and it’s definitely my favorite. My husband and I like that you can take it a part and customize it to your liking. The only downside of it is it’s price. It’s a bit on the pricier side and I have seen other options for controllers that you can also customize but they are wireless. If you’re willing to spend this much I would get it!
