    If youre accustomed to the xbox controller, you'll feel right at home here. It includes all the ergonomics youve come to enjoy over the years, but includes all the bells and whistles. Controller is sturdy, weighty, and feels premium in thr metal and matte materials. The hair triggers are an especially useful tool for serious FPS players. Highly recommend.

    The package came at a different address a couple houses away but it was alright since this controller exceeded my expectations, the grip feels nice on my hands and the controller overal seems to be pretty durable. I found some troubles with the button mappings on the controller but that was just because there are many options and different customizations available. If your looking to buy this controller I’d say you should and it is worth the price!

    Honest Personal Review

    If you’re on the fence about the Xbox Elite Series 2 controller, don’t be — this thing is on a completely different level. The build quality alone feels premium right out of the box. It’s heavy in the best way, solid, and just screams durability. But what really makes it stand out is the functionality. The customizable paddles on the back completely change how you play — once you get used to them, going back to a normal controller feels limiting. The adjustable thumbstick tension is a game changer too. You can fine-tune it depending on the game, whether you want precision for shooters or smoother movement for casual play. The trigger stops are another huge win, making everything feel faster and more responsive. Battery life is also a big improvement — it actually lasts, which is rare for high-performance controllers. And being able to save multiple profiles means you can switch setups instantly depending on the game you’re playing. Overall, the Xbox Elite Series 2 isn’t just a controller, it’s an upgrade to your entire gaming experience. Once you use it, it’s hard to go back.

    I own 10 various xbox controllers including 3rd party "pro-style" controllers with buttons on the back. While many of them are good, non hold a candle to the elite 2 for pure comfort and performance. I think it's the perfect weight and just feels right. I do recommend getting the warranty as i did wear one out in about 22 months (hundreds of hours of Halo infinite) but the 2 year warranty i added at time of purchase was seemless to use. Just brought my old one in and walked out with a new one. For competitive play it's a must-buy.

    I love it works great for every game I want to play it feels great in my hands I don't have to stress out I can just not have to deal with what you normally have to deal with with a regular controller this control is unique it has its own personal customization feature to it so I would definitely get this and I know it's 180 bucks but it's worth it

    Best controller in the market hands down. Love the grip on it and also the back sticks that makes hitting a button without losing grip on the controller way easier. This is the only controller that I use and I’m on pc. I tried different controller and this seems to be the best one. Wish it was a bit price friendly though.

    The controller is an absolute upgrade over a regular controller. I like the weight to it, also the trigger locks and other characteristics it has. But, be warned, buy a warranty for it. After awhile, like all Cbox controllers you get stick drift or buttons that dont work.

    Great controller, good for different games. Because of the ability to remap your controls to fit your place style. Only issue is the grips get loose over time and start to fall off. Occasional, stick drift If you play rough with your remote. I had this remote for almost a year.

    I love this controller! It’s my go to when I game. It’s a little smaller to me, which is important. Because I have tiny hands! The grip has a nice feel to it. Only thing I don’t like about this controller is my RB sometimes does not work. As well as the joint sticks can get stick drift. Make sure to get the warranty.

    Very responsive, I love the ability to customize all the buttons, interchangeable analog stick, love the grip and size of the controller. The price is a bit much for a controller but definitely worth it. I wish the manufacturer warranty would be at least 2 years because after of 1 year of gaming the buttons start acting up.

    Much better than the older generation elite controller. Its not nearly as heavy as the old one plus the rubbers have stayed on unlike the old one. Such a huge upgrade in terms kd quality. Works well with pc too. Couldnt really ask for more. The case that it charges in is a great addition as well. Keeps everything nice and tidy.

    The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 is one of the best feeling controllers I have ever used. The build quality overall is great, and modularity is a bonus. The options to wirelessly charge or using the USB-C cable is also great. Battery life has been awesome for how often I use the controller for PC gaming. This controller connects to your PC by either pairing via Bluetooth, direct connection using the included USB-C cable, or by purchasing a separate Microsoft USB dongle. I have not had any stick drift issues thus far, but I did purchase the extended warranty from Microsoft for $20. I bought this controller on sale which in my opinion is still expensive for what this is. If this was a controller at the $120 price, it would definitely be worth it. Likes: Build quality, modularity, battery life; hard shell case, all the cables included Dislikes: Poor Bluetooth connectivity Oh, by the way: After connecting this controller to my newly built PC, it struggled to keep a wireless connection. This controller worked perfectly fine when directly connected. I downloaded all the drivers necessary and tried some other trouble shooting recommendations, but in the end, the Bluetooth on this controller just plain sucks. I went and purchased the Microsoft controller USB dongle and all my wireless connection issues were resolved with this controller. If you want wireless play via PC, the USB dongle is a much buy unfortunately.
