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.

    The new Elite Series 2 is definitely better than the first one. Looks like they strengthen the bumpers which broke three times on the first one. Good thing I bought the warranty. I recommend this to all gamers.

    The control is the best you can buy but if you do play a lot it will only last just under a year before control drifts and everything

    Love the elite series 2 controllers. The only thing I don’t like is that it doesn’t come with the accessories pack anymore. You have to purchase that separately.

    I want to recommend this. When it works, its amazing.. but 90 day warranty leaves very little confidence in the end user .. especially with the stick drift issue that has plagued this and the first generation

    Very nice hand feel, reserve side buttons a nice touch. Feels good in hand even after a couple hours of sweaty palms. Comes with extras like a charger, but not really needed.

    As most Xbox controllers, stick drift comes fast and is unavoidable. Outside of that, it’s pretty good

    Solid controller. Tons of customization options. Several stick options, lengths and sizes, multiple profiles on the fly and the paddles on the back of the controller make this a great choice of "pro" controllers. This think is built like a tank.

    Amazing controller! Inconsistent Manufacturing.

    I understood why people love this control the instant I put it in my hand. It feels premium. After playing with it for two weeks, it began to feel natural; my hand was adapting to the new trigger buttons. Unfortunately, the right trigger began to give-way and the spring was making a squeaking sound. The standard face buttons also didn’t register every time I press them. I returned it. Thankfully it was within the return period. I now also understand the issues of this controller. The manufacturing for these controllers isn’t consistent. I purchased a new controller that arrived today and i hi opefully I can leave a better review in the coming weeks and months.

    The ability to change the thumb sticks make this a real upgrade although the paddles on the back take time to get used to.

    I like the back triggers to help play better. You can change parts out and just keep them off. They also have grips and come with a nice hard carrying case. Used it so much I wore it out over a year and thank goodness I got the warranty bc you basically get a replacement at no cost. Good stuff.
