Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the controller's exceptional overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. Users also frequently praise the device's comfortable grip, balanced weight, and high-quality tactile feel. However, some customers have expressed concerns regarding the durability of the buttons and bumpers, as well as the early onset of stick drift. Despite these technical frustrations and the premium price point, many still consider it a top-tier gaming accessory.

    Great upgrade over elite 1. The peeling on the original with the rubber grips is gone! Love the 3 levels of trigger adjustments and tension on the sticks. If you have a normal controller its worth the money if you actually take advantage of the adjustments. If you don't plan to use them just stick with a standard controller.

    I Though The Product Was A Waste Of Money At First But Boy Was I Wrong. This Controller Is Made With The Gamer In Mind Its Made From Premium Materials and Overall Just Feels Like A Better Piece Of Hardware. You Can Add The Paddles To The Back Change The D Pad Change How Low You Can Press The Triggers. This Will Be Your Last Controller

    GET A GEEK SQUAD WARRANTY! Awesome controller, but definitely has numerous quality control issues. I'm on my 5th Elite Series 2 controller. About to buy a new one, with a warranty right now so i have a backup Series 2 when mine gets back from Microsoft.

    Probably Best you can get on the market. However, it’s really heavy, and kind of slippery. And a touch too small for my hands.

    Controller feels great in the hands, has grips on the outer wings, controllable triggers as well as 4 programmable buttons on the back of the controller that are essentially easier ways of hitting X Y A B. Would definitely recommend!

    Inalready had the original v2. Decided to buy another and was able to get it for cheaper without all the accessories which i already had. So this is a perfect buy for those who alreay have one and all the accessories.
