Customers are saying

Customers highly value the overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options offered by this controller. Users frequently praise its comfortable grip, balanced weight, and tactile feel during gameplay. However, some customers have expressed concerns regarding the long-term durability of the buttons and the potential for stick drift. Additionally, while the device is well-regarded, some potential buyers find the premium price point to be a significant consideration.

    Controller feels and works great. The triggers on the back make my reaction times quicker especially on first person shooters! Not to mention this controller has a built in battery, so no more batteries or battery packs needed like regular Xbox controllers. My only complaint is that it isn’t slightly cheaper so more folks can easily afford it!

    If you are an XBOX player you know regular controllers last about 9-12 months. This controller/sticks feel so sturdy. I thought the extra weight would be bad, but I don't notice it. I did not get the paddles but love that I can add them later. I wasn't completely sure about the color, but love the vibrant red.

    Great controller had one before but used it till it was on its last leg, was originally recommended by a friend, makes gameplay 10x more elite (ahhh see what I did there). Still bad at the game and miss 80% of my shots but it’ll take a different players gameplay to the next level

    I know I am not making full use of all of the customization features, but here is what I do like so far: • Ergonomics is excellent • Textured hand-feel is great • Weight and balance is the best so far • Very responsive • Love that you can customize the analog grips to fit your hands • Rechargeable built-in The one thing I wish it had: switchable binding between multiple devices. I have an xbox one, and xbox one x, and two nice windows computers. I wish there was a button that let me switch between controlling those different devices without reconnecting it to the device each time.

    We have purchased many of these controllers. My boys have used them for years and are generally pleased with them but the need to be replaced frequently due to “glitching”. The service plan you can but is too expensive to be worth it and we typically don’t have issues with it until after the 1 year mark. But they are pleased enough to buy them again.

    So as far as paddled "pro" controllers go this undoubtedly the best you can get with 3 different profile, trigger stop, and stick resistances options along customizable aim curves this provides the best possible customization that a controller has ever offered. Everything has it buts and in this case, it comes in the form of slight drifts off of the slightest movements but is easily corrected with raising deadzones. If you would like to check out some gameplay of it check out ChasTheChad on youtube or twitch.

    Nice High End Controller but is it worth the Price

    The Elite Series 2 is a really nice high end controller. The Customization of buttons is super nice for series gamers while the build quality and general in hand feel are far better than the standard Xbox Controller. Also really love that it comes with it's own charging dock. But is it worth the retail price? In my opinion, No. Look for it on sale for around $139. I feel like that price is a little more in line with where it should be.

    Very happy with this purchase. The quality is solid, it works exactly as described, and it’s been easy to use right out of the box. Everything feels well-made and dependable, and it’s clearly designed with real users in mind. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a reliable option, and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from this brand again.

    Best controller I've ever used!

    I have always preferred the Xbox controller over the Playstation controller, especially because I play a lot of FPS games, but in general it feels better to me. Elite version is heavier, has rubberized grip, and the build of the controller feels premium (as it should for the cost). With all the accessories and adjustments (various thumb sticks, d-pads, paddles, and adjustable triggers), you can make the controller as custom, as needed. It has been my best controller ever purchased and worth the amount I paid. Get that Geek Squad protection, just in case! ;) Buy it and have fun!

    This is a really great controller! The battery is amazing. I opened it up and started playing with it, and it took 4 days of heavy playing until I had to charge it for the first time. The controls feel great, and I love how the sticks can be changed out. The paddles are amazing, and will greatly increase your success in playing fps games.

    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

    Love this controller I’ve had a lot of fun with it and ever since I bought one I can’t go back to just a regular controller. This is my second one and I was sad when I broke my other one and happy to be able to get a new one and it’s even my favorite color. The controller itself is amazing and feels great to hold. The controls are customizable and the paddles definitely give me an edge over my opponents. I highly recommend buying this controller if you want quality for a good price it’s definitely worth the cost.

    Overall, its a great controller but it’s pricey. I love the customization options and the battery life, and I don’t regret the purchase at all. It’s probably closer to worth the 139.99 price I’m seeing it discounted to now If you’re strapped for cash, theres nothing wrong with the regular Xbox controller. If you can afford it but are unsure, it might be worth considering the cost of a battery or two for the regular, and figure out how much all the other extras are worth to you.

    Really the best option for Xbox controllers. If you are aggressive with your controllers like me plan on needing a new one every 1.5 years. Get the Elite controller that comes with the paddles, and then just get this core controller after you break a button.
