    I almost forgot how great it was playing with a paddle controller! No need to take your thumbs off of the joysticks anymore! This controller is amazing! It is a bit heavy, but you get used to the weight very quickly. I love that it does not have to have the batteries replaced and you can just set it on the charger in the case to charge it up. The customization options are great as well. It comes with different height and style joysticks, and the standard D-pad if you prefer that. You can also adjust the tensions for both joysticks which is awesome. I love everything about this controller! I only wish it came in more colors! If you've never played with a paddle controller, you are missing out! This is probably better than a Scuff controller and a bit cheaper too!

    Controller feels great! Ive had 2 scuf controls and this one feel a bit more durable than the scufs. It has a decent amount of weight to it and feels very good in the hands! For the prices its a bit intimidating to buy but it worth it to me.

    This controller has been working so much better than the $60 controllers that i kept buying. Paying more for the elite series not only lasts longer but it provides a much smoother experience and quick reaction time. Also, thumbstick is metal so it doesnt scrape plastic off like the other ones.

    This was the one I swapped the blue controller with that was definitely a refurbished being sold as new. This on had no paddle presets, xbox light is bright and it was 100% clean. I just didn't want white because it gets dirty faster but it was the only other one available besides the normal elite series 2 for $200. Other then that great controller and it works just like the normal elite 2s. Very happy with the product and that it was new and not used.

    If you are a serious gamer than this is the Xbox controller for you! It is made with excellent quality! You can create game profiles that will allow you to move the buttons and actions when the game itself won't let you set your controls as you want them! And best of all it holds a charge for a very long time! I play for 4-6 hours and not a problem. Might use half of the battery!

    Battery life is incredible. Improvement over the original in almost every way. Held out as long as I could for a Series 3 because I wanted hall effect thumb sticks. Hopefully stick drift won't be an issue like it was for the first gen.

    Having complete control is gaming makes everything much more enjoyable and that is what the Xbox Elite 2 controller provides. The most important feature for me was the thumbstick tensioning. I increased it fully and it had an immediate effect in playing First Person Shooters. The control is much more precise and the stick drifting is gone. Add in the full wrap around grips and a more solid and compact feel, this controller fits perfectly in my hands. All the customizable features can help make your favorite games play even more fun! I got my money out of the XE1 controller, I know I'll get it out of this one as well!

    You dont know what youre missing until you start playing with this controller. The paddles are a huge help for FPS games. The carry case, attachments, and charging docks are amazing add ons. The controller feels SO good and sturdy. The grips are amazing and great for holding on especially if you have sweaty hands.

    Whoa, now this is premium. I can't get over it. The weight, the response on all the buttons, the sheer feel of metal, and it feels so good. Battery life is great, Type C charging is always a plus, Astro can learn so much. Their C40 was absolute dog barf.

    The Xbox controller is comfortable to hold, with responsive buttons and triggers that enhance gameplay. Its ergonomic design fits nicely in the hands, and the wireless connectivity provides flexibility during gaming sessions. The only issues ive found with the controller is that it gets stick dift within months of use.Overall, it's a solid choice for gamers and it fits the hands comfortably.

    What can I say. It’s a controller. I had my gen 1 for 7 years before it finally broke. My niece stepped on it and snapped the bumper. Cracked right in the middle, I knew it was time. With peeling material and broken bumpers. We upgraded. I’m glad I did. It feels great when playing some COD. Highly recommend. 10/10

    My bf loves this controller! I buy him one every Christmas! Although it could probably last 2 years or more, my bf plays almost everyday. Multiple hours a day, and he sweats A LOT but it holds up quite well, especially when he gets mad and violently taps on the buttons quite often XD
