    This controller is one of the best controllers for Xbox! I play a lot of COD and back paddles and ability to customize are very key for a better gaming experience! I do wish the price was a little lower.

    This is the second elite series 2 controller I buy and is faulty weeks after purchase. The first one started having a uncontrollable stick drift, this one is having its buttons stuck and also the triggers don’t detect pressure so it’s not any good for racing games, if it wasn’t for those issues it would get 5 stars for the ergonomics and customization.

    The best Xbox controller on the market!

    By far the best Xbox controller I have ever used. I've been through every controller that Xbox has put out and this one is superb in every way. The buttons are all mapable and the sensitivity of the triggers and buttons are all adjustable. The paddles are there also for those who prefer them, but in my configuration I just don't use them. The feel of this controller is hefty, durable and worth the cost. The case has a charging stand built in which is very nice, but make sure you have a USB-C cable to plug into it. The best thing about this controller is that every part about it just makes sense. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that is a serious gamer. You won't be disappointed.

    Love that it feels heavy. Good quality feel. Rechargeable battery. Comes with extras and carrying case. Only cons about this is the Right bumper will fail within 2 years of owning this controller. Stick drift does also occur as well. I have gone through 3 elite 2.0 controllers. I switched over to a different brand.

    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.

    It’s basically like the other elite two the only difference is that it doesn’t come with the case and the extra gadgets other than that it’s great. I think it’s even better cause it comes in more different color compared to the other one where it’s only black or white.

    Almost Exceptional Product Design

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Yes, I believe this device deserves a 4/5 rating for the following reasons: I love the adjustable trigger settings, controllers really did need this. I also think that the customizable joysticks, and d pad are cool, the material enveloping the grips are very comfortable and give that premium feeling. I love the paddle feature which is the most interesting change. I think the most essential feature for my gaming experience is the trigger adaptation. The one thing im missing to making this controller exceptional in overall tech. I expected there to be another feature for push to talk, or an open mic built in like the playstation controller, also i expected the buttons to be quieter clicks so hardcore gamers like myself aren't disturbing other peoples sleep with loud clicking. OH and the fact that the share button feature was removed, that was a big one for me. (I'd recommend this item until something better comes out.)

    Yeah it's expensive. However, in this case the extra cost bring extra value. I've tried several controllers near this price range and this is undoubtedly the best. The extra paddles are the real thing and if you're into mmos or even FPS on console this will be a real asset. It just feels solid in your hand. Too many positives to list.

    Amazing controller for competitive gamers.

    The price is decent with this controller but when you look at other competitor controllers with paddles like Scuf which go for (200+) the price is fair. Its a huge improvement from the first elite controller. Better thumb stick options now with higher tension and Xbox 360 size thumb sticks. Battery life on this controller is amazing I can play for days without charging. Paddles on the back take more force to engage which feels a lot better while using. Only downside and this is nitpicking is that the tension needs to be a little higher on the 3rd setting to replicate the perfect 360 controller. Also the 360 thumb sticks don't have enough grip. But I highly recommend also buy the 2 year warranty. So that if you receive wear and tear or any other issues you can replace it.
