This is a great controller I’ve had it for a while now with zero problem’s, battery lasts for a long time no stick drift and I love the customization of it all you can get this controller dialed in perfect for every game

This is a great controller! The charge lasts a long time. I like the grip and the weight of it. The different settings on the underneath are nice too especially for racing games. Very easy to pair to my console. I also like that you can change out the joysticks as well. Highly recommend!

This is my first review with this controller after owning each elite controller since launch. They are amazing controllers for the most part, however, the build quality is lacking. You might run into toggle or top bumper problems the most (like in my case). Each time I've had to replace this controller, it's either the joystick toggle, or the top bumpers. So the build quality doesn't justify the price tag at all. The battery life and grip and the back bumpers make this controller worth it for more seasoned players. I would at least always recommend the protection plan... it's worth it for the extra $65 or so.

This controller is so much better, than the one it replaced!! My old controller keep having issues with buttons and controller sticks sticking! I very satisfied with the performance of this controller!! It was a great purchase!!

This is a very solid high quality controller. It's substantial weight, interchangable thumbsticks and D pad make for a great gaming experience. Paddles as optional inputs also makes this a great controller. Controller charges by USB C instead of having any internal batteries. Not a deal breaker for me but I can imagine that turns some folks off. My biggest problem is I had stick drift within a few months of using it just outside of the original warranty period. Many people seem to have this problem and it's not easily repairable by end users, even if you're use to taking these things apart. Luckly Microsoft extended the original warranty recently and I was able to get it repaired. Otherwise, I would have had to junk this. This is the 2nd elite controller I've had with the same issue. I would caution anyone against buying this unless you buy the extended warranty.

I'm gonna preface by saying this is my 3rd Elite V2 controller. However, despite the fact that I've went through 3 of them so far, there's a reason I still purchase the same controller. First off, it feels very premium and has a nice weight to it. The ability to customize it with different control sticks and dpads is awesome, and I love the customizable right and left shoulder buttons - it's great for FPS games. In addition to the customizable sticks and dpad, there's also the Microsoft Accessory app that works on both Xbox and PC. It offers even more ways to customize and lets you remap pretty much any button (including the 4 paddles on the back) and change the color of the Xbox logo. The controller also comes with a premium case and charging cable, as well as different control sticks and a different dpad. You can also charge it while it's in its case. The controller is rechargeable and the battery life is more than reasonable in my opinion. Again, I have went through 3 of these controllers. One of the grips began peeling on my first one, and then my second one had issues with the left bumper not working. I'm on my third one now and so far I haven't ran into any issues, though I have been trying to take good care of it to avoid anything else from happening. With all that said, I would still recommend this controller for any gaming enthusiast or someone who just wants a more premium controller. I have tried many controllers and this one just seems to be the best, despite it not lasting me as long as I'd like. I hope there's a V3 coming soon because I will buy it immediately when it comes out.

I have had my controller for over a month and barely had to charge it yesterday! I use my controller almost daily for about 3 hours. I love how the controller feels in my hands. Perfect for control customizations. Recommend 10/10. #TeamElite:)

Most comfortable controller ive ever used. Extremely durable. Buttons and Joysticks are solid and responsive. Battery life is very impressive.

The first thing I noticed is the ruber grips are better designed, it appears they may have fixed the issue that the series 1 controller had with the rubber grips beginning to peel off after a few months. The extra third slot for saving custom controller configurations is nice and the back pedals are now shorter which makes it feel more comfortable in your hand. With the series one controller I always had to take those paddles out if I weren't using them because they would prevent me from gripping the controller the way that felt comfortable for me. The adjustable tensioner for the thumbsticks is nice as well, and the battery does last a decent amount of time before it has to be recharged. The only downside is the fact that the battery pack is built in and cannot be removed. Overall the quality seems to be much better and it has a USB-C charging connector which is better than the old USB-B that the series 1 controller used, which you had to be very careful when connecting the cable; it could only connect one way and made it feel like if you weren't careful you might damage the connector. So far I am very pleased with my purchase.

Great controller. Love the ability to customize and the weight of the controller. The rechargeable battery already included in the controller is nice as well.

Responsive and fits comfortably on hands. Very good quality

The Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller is a premium gaming accessory that excels in comfort, customization, and performance. With adjustable tension thumbsticks, remappable paddles, and hair-trigger locks, it offers exceptional precision and control. The built-in rechargeable battery lasts up to 40 hours, and its Bluetooth connectivity ensures easy compatibility with both Xbox and PC. While it’s on the pricier side, the Elite Series 2 is a must-have for serious gamers looking to elevate their experience.

While over priced tye controller is a game changer for FPS games. Having four extra inputs frees up your thumbs from lesving the joysticks, resulting in faster respinse time and an advantage over other players in FPS games. It takes time to adjsut to the paddles, but once you do you can never go back to a regular controller.

Great controller. The rubberized grips feel good in your hands and it has a very well constructed, sturdy feel to it. The battery life is very long. The case and the charging cable are well built and a very nice touch. I like the fact that Microsoft gave you different sticks to swap out with convex and concave tops, depending on your particular preference, as well as one thumbstick that is taller than the others, for more precise and quicker movement. And that they are attached via magnet is very cool and works great. Then there are the underside paddles for your fingertips, which at first are difficult to get used to, but once you do, help out so much so that you dont have to lift your thumb off the right stick when crouching, interacting, reloading etc. Game changing. The only reason I dont give this controller 5 stars is because around 11 months after owning, both sticks now drift. Do yourself a favor and buy the extended warranty.

This controller feels very high quality and works perfectly for gaming on Xbox and PC. The buttons and thumbsticks are super responsive, and the grip makes it comfortable during long sessions. Setup was quick, battery life is solid, and the overall design looks really clean. Definitely worth it if you want a premium controller experience.

Alot of people have said that they have problems with this controller so far i haven't seen any. It feels great in your hand its built solid and very precise the battery holds up well and all the buttons are programmable so far i really like it time will tell me how well it holds up the price could be alot better but what isn't expensive these days

This controller is the best thing on the market. But it has the one flaw that will kill it if you don’t baby this thing. Stick drift. So many are returned because of stick drift. I already returned one and tried a couple different controllers which all feel cheap in comparison. My best advice. Treat this thing like a child to get the most life out of it. Don’t let it drop on the floor at all. That may have been what killed my last one.

Top quality controller. Easy to change joysticks and/or paddles. Rear paddles are great when I play Call of Duty, but what I like the most is that you can adjust the grips (LF, LR) at three different positions, what it helps to shot faster. However, it is not worth it for almost 200 dls.

I love this controller. I Iike the weight, the paddles on the back, and the feel. I can't even play on a regular controller because they are so light to me now. It's kinda expensive for me.

Great feeling controller . More customizable than the previous gen. Decent weight and less finicky. A bit pricy for what you’re actually paying for but still decent. It doesn’t have the same level of innovation as the basic PS5 controller such as gyroscopes but it feels great in hand.
