    It’s twice as Elite as the first one!

    This is my daily driver. It has been a noticeable upgrade for the original Elite controller. I had ran into stick drift after using for some time and replaced my original with the extended warranty I purchased. Now I have since learned that you can adjust for stick drift in settings, Xbox, or Steam. Hope that helps if you are one of the multitude that run into that and think it’s a faulty controller.

    I love the elite 2 controller, it’s perfect for gaming , the only con is approximately 1 year in the controller will start to “wear and tear” the grips on the sides will start to flap and the bumpers, and sticks will start to malfunction, I recommend getting the warranty and replacing your controller 9 months in!

    Love the controller, durable so far and I’ve only had it for 3 months. Biggest thing that stands out are the joysticks, very fluid. Only complaint I have is the controller should have came with the paddles. I do love the options it has, this particular controller is different in a good way (options). Compared to all other high end controllers.

    Works great had a great employee helping me aswell and he was accurate with everything he said! Controller is such an uprgrade and worth the price! Don’t have to buy batteries and also the extra joysticks/buttons have definitely helped me get better, makes you quicker and more swift.

    Excellent condition but was pretty dirty. Nothing a qtip and isopropal couldnt handle. Within a month I’ve already encountered bumpers hitting twice when I hit them once, or sometimes not registering at all. In great condition apart from bumpers and surface dirtiness

    The controller feels great! The grips are comfortable, and having a rechargeable battery was something Xbox needed to do years ago. I enjoy the fact that you can replace the sticks, and that is what convinced me to pay the extra money for this "elite" controller. I play on a PC, and changing so much of the controller was a plus. Unfortunately, I found the buttons less responsive than previous controllers. There is a huge input lag, and I have adjusted so many settings. I play Rocket League and could not complete complicated movements with this controller. This could be a 100% user error and not knowing how to customize the controller to the settings I need fully. I admit that. I'm returning and going for the standard Xbox controller that I love and know... and have to buy every 6-8 months.

    The control is great it give way more comfortable feel than the regular Xbox controller. The paddle on the back help keep your finger in the joysticks when needed the most. The only thing I don’t like is the bottom paddles I feel are too low and it’s hard to grip the controller with them in. Other than that it’s awesome.

    Honestly I was hesitant about purchasing this product with all the bad reviews on quality control. Went with BestBuy for their 2 year warranty and 1 month later I am happy to say the product is working great. Highly recommend if you are looking to upgrade your Xbox controller but keep in mind it will take some time to adjust to paddles and the sensitivity.

    It’s a good solid controller that works great with my PC. Very comfortable shape for your hands and the back paddles just flow into your fingers for ease of use for those that game for hours at a time. I play a lot of a Vanguard and this controller gets the job done and I’m able to move more efficiently in the game. Battery life is great as well lasting me more than a week on full charge gaming at least 5 hours a day. Just get it you won’t regret it :)

    I love how this controller feels in my hands. The grip texture feels just right, as does the weight. The haptic feedback has just the right amount of rumble and feels very high quality as well. I got the basic version without interchangeable toggles, which I would prefer to be a little shorter. Other than that, I love it! Well with the purchase.
