Customers are saying

Customers recognize the controller for its exceptional overall performance, impressive battery life, and highly customizable features. Users frequently praise the device's comfortable grip, balanced weight, and tactile feel during extended gaming sessions. However, some owners have expressed concerns regarding the long-term durability of the buttons and the potential for stick drift. Despite these technical issues and the premium price point, many still consider it a high-quality addition to their gaming setup.

    This is a great rechargeable controller option for Xbox. I do wish that the paddles were included with each controller. It seems like a miss to charge extra for those on the side. Controller performs well, and had great battery life.

    The controller feels really good and the chnageable stick are very nice but the controller like any other is susceptible to drift after a while and you would think with how much it costs it would last longer than a normal controller.

    The elite series 2 controller is the best controller for xbox (and pc) that your money can buy, the only downside being is it doesn't come with the entire package for swapping parts in and out like the original elite series. Sturdy construction, very good grip on the palms and the buttons are extremely responsive.

    This controller has sveral more functions than the standard remote which makes it more entertaining while playing games. Giving you more abilites and control of the game makes it well worth the money. The battery lasts a long time and I have not had it die on me yet. I definitely recommed.

    I own the Elite 1 and still have it from years ago. This is a great upgrade. Totally worth ever penny. They reformed paddles so you accidentally push them. Great controller from a hardcoe gamer!

    Purchased as an open box and couldn't be more satuafied. The controller feels very nice and the little travel case it comes with is also high quality. I use it mostly for my computer but sometimes take it with me to a friends house to use with their xbox.

    Love the controller. Got a second one because I didn't buy an extended warranty on my first. I highly recommend putting the 2 year service on it. I used mine daily and it started to break down after about 8 months. By 12 months (about 8 days past warranty) the left stick got all kinds of wonky. Anywho, i had everything I needed from the previous controller. so I bought this one with 2 year service and saved a bunch of $$$.

    Great controller. Love all the extra buttons on the backside. Makes playing Fortnite much easier. The only change I would make is having a mic on the controller like PlayStation does. other than that it definitely has a high end feel to it.
