Users frequently praise its comfortable grip, balanced weight, and tactile feel during gameplay.

    Had it for some time now, build is much better than the original Elite controller but still shares some of its quality woes, especially when it comes to stick drift. They could really fix stick drift issues with an adjustable dead zone in their accessories program, but I digress. Still the best feeling controller I've used by a mile.

    By no means have I found the controller to be of poor build quality. Everything feels great from the grips to the beautiful metal dpad and padles. The customization is nice, very easy to setup and disassemble/reassemble. Everything that is able to be detached is magnet. Pretty strong magnets. I love how you can turn down the brightnessof the Xbox logo to fairly dim. Trigger stops are the bomb. Paddles are hard to get used to imo

    I love the feel and works really good. Got very very little stick drift(got it open box), not game breaking but does show if you stare at a place.

    I recently purchased this item and my family and I LOVE it! It feels solid and made well and the controls are very smooth. The fact that you charge it in the case and don’t need batteries to keep it running it a HUGE win in my opinion. Overall this controller is very well done. And for those who don’t like or want to use the extra paddles they are easily removable. Well done!

    First Elite controller, and the difference is noticeable. Power button clicks firmly, weight is heavier than normal controller, and triggers feel firmer. I feel the rear buttons are a bit of a gimmick (or I haven't gotten to set them up right) but for right now they get in the way. Definitely hoping it'll last more than my traditional controller, which usually fails because the right trigger ends up becoming sticky.

    this is just sweet! very high end controller compared to the basic one or even the Elite from a few years ago. I love the grip and handle. the charger is well designed. it has four extra paddles in the back which I am sure someone knows how to program, but right now are preset.

    I love the controller. It has a nice tight grip around, the controller is a little bigger than the normal controller which is nice because normal controllers are too small for my hands while this one, is the perfect size for me. The paddles on the back is so useful for when gaming

    This controller is well worth the money! With the customization funtion you can always change with your game style. Also the grip on the sides feels very comfortable. The best part is the charging case which charges your controller while also protecting it. Definitely would recommend!

    It is a bit pricey but it’s worth the investment. If the user plans on using it to play all range of game types this has all features to adapt to the players play style.

    extremely good controller I love the elite controllers the Microsoft has made but these new ones are mind blowing. I wish they came with a case like my black elite series 2 but that’s not that big of a difference still get a great controller built to last with a great battery

    This is the best remote I’ve ever owned. No stick drift and smooth as butter! Plus the worker made me aware w my protection package this remote would also be covered for any issues and if it couldn’t be fixed theyd simply give me a new ine

    Elite S2 Controller is one of the best, if not, THE best Xbox controller out there. The controller itself is insanely comfortable and the paddles are super helpful if the time is put in to use them. The adjustments for the sticks are odd, but useful in many high level games that any gamer should be able to do regardless of controller. Great piece of hardware for any serious nerd out there trying to dominate some games. Enjoy :)

    Amazing Non Aftermarket Controller

    I wanted a controller with more responsiveness and that is what I got. Compared to a standard non elite or modified controller, this is more reliable and responsive. The amount of times I depress LT or RT and have to wait for the game to recognize I am trying to perform an action was tiresome. Unless it was CoD and/or a game I could set trigger dead zones, timing dodges or specific actions would input early or late. With the triggers being adjustable from a full pull, to half or even a click, saves me a headache while performing dodges or counter attacks. The rounded face D Pad also amazing for games that have upper left, upper right, lower left, lower right options. Having to press and hold UP and Right, etc on a normal D Pad again tiresome. Amazing product and I wish I could give it 5 stars, however I want other color options that don't require me to buy an accessory kit that would cost more than an already bundled controller OR having to order custom through Microsoft. Pros: - Well made with solid weight to it - Default profile without back buttons - 3 Customizable profiles for back buttons - Add or remove back buttons with ease - Swappable sticks and D pad with strong magnets - 3 levels of adjustablility for trigger stops Cons: - Requires Xbox Accessories App on PC - Does not properly indicate battery life Wired or BT - Colored Core options do not come with full accessories at reduced price, even then you over pay to add the accessories with a Elite Core - Unless custom ordered through Microsoft all buttons follow black and grey color scheme

    If you’re a regular gamer, this is the most comfortable, and durable controller you will ever need. Very easy setup, and customization options. Ive had mine for over a year, use it 30+ hours a week and it still works without a problem. Amazing

    No matter how much I tweaked the thumbstick tension and spent time "breaking in the sticks" or adjusting thumbstick curves in settings, it just never gave me the level of responsiveness that some stock controllers do (Dualshock 4, Dual Sense, Gamesir G7, Wolverine v3 TE, 8bitDo Ultimate 2). AND those controllers are a fraction of the price. It's unfortunate because the feel of this controller is above and beyond all others. It has a nice weight and overall feel in the hands. The back paddles are also excellent. It's just a shame that the actual responsiveness does not match.

    I personally love the controller it's heavier than the other one so it feels better in your hands and the overall quality is better and the thumb sticks and pad are detachable if you choose to replace them with different colors you can.
