    This "Microsoft - Elite Series 2 Core" wireless controller is the best I got in my hands so far. Absolutely smooth and precise handling. You can adjust pretty much anything you want to optimize your gameplay. The two triggers can also mechanically be adjusted to your needs. Outstanding quality!

    controller works amazing. Love the ability to change the most detailed setting and have 4 different setups for different games. Only down side I would say is for the price I wish it would hold up a little better. Buttons seems to wear down the same as a normal controller if not worse sometimes.

    10/10 recommend. The stock controller is fine but I was used to the ps4 rechargeable features built in. I bought the Xbox rechargeable batteries that just plug in to recharge but the battery life was not amazing. This controller has a longer battery life with better buttons and more features than I’ll use. Plus the color is fire.

    It is a great controller other than the fact that it needs to be replaced every year because a part will break ok it. I’ve had problems with stick drift and with the bumpers on every elite controller I’ve owned. They are way to expensive to keep replacing every year.

    I had the elite series one and that was great until I started getting ghost movements in the left joystick. The series 2 Elite feels a bit better with the added grips and I LOVE the recharging feature. Been playing 7 days straight still haven’t needed to recharge the remote. And this is 5-7 hours a day playing. I love that I can map the triggers in the back for games like APEX and Smite. Very customizable. It is expensive, but you “feel” the difference. I think a little cheaper and it’s 100% hands down the best controller ever.

    I've owned a couple of different xbox elite copies from other brands, but nothing beats this thing. I loved my razor, but the elite feels and performs better.

    The controller is awesome! I love the ease of swapping joysticks, and the use of paddles. The adjustment of the trigger pull is so cool and the hair trigger click adjustment makes my shooting accuracy much better. Don’t forget, you can adjust the tension of the sticks which is surprisingly useful.

    I really do think Xbox is making these controllers better than how they launched with the black ones, it’s solid, has amazing battery life, pretty much get 40 hours out of it per charge which compared to my ps5 controller, that’s night and day, love how you can change the Xbox logo color in settings as well!, great triggers for FPS games.
