    Elite Series 2 controller is very solid, and feels very good in my hands. The customization is good to set up your controller to your style of play, and when not playing a shooter your can put to respond like a regular controller to play Madden. So you have two controllers in one if you want to compete or not this controller is a must have. Money well spent.

    Durability is a problem. Bumpers and sticks tend to be the first thing to go. However I do think while it is new it is one of the best controllers on the market.

    The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller is a must if you are a hardcore gamer. I've read some reviews about it having stick drift after a couple of months of use but, I have not experienced anything in my 2 months of owning it. After using this controller it's hard for me to use a regular controller because of the remapping done to the back paddles. Overall though it's worth it if you play a lot of games.

    Always a great deal with the open box items. Have used this same buy for my last two controllers, easily a year minimum of heavy use, sometimes 2 years

    The feel and weight of this controller is terrific. I personally love the rubber grips on the handle and the clickiness of the dpad.

    Better than Generation One

    I was pleased with the first generation Controller. The improvements to the trigger locks are fantastic. The control sticks seem more responsive and have adjustable tensioners. I haven’t figured out the shift function in the app yet, but from a cursory inspection it appears there is a greater degree of customization options with the buttons. The docking station is the greatest improve,ent, no more breaking the USB input.

    I love this controller but the buttons keeps messing up and I've had to go back to change the control and buy the warranty again and again. Got a new one about 1 week ago! Let's see how long it will last! It's like if best buy has a monopoly with these controllers. Im not saying it does, but it feels like it.

    Always love these controllers sadly this is my third one over time the left thumb stick seems to never recenter completely it's not that noticeable until you're playing a game that requires precision and this is also the second controller where the right bumper also messed up and sometimes doesn't work.

    Huge upgrade from standard Xbox controllers

    A great controller overall, got it for my series x. Love the hair trigger and customization features. Expensive but truly feels like a premium controller. Only downsides are that Microsoft will likely introduce a series 3 soon that incorporates haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and the share button that is currently on series x controllers in order to compete with the incredible dual sense.

    Excellent controller. Had the original and decided to upgrade to the second version, no disappointment at all. Quality feels better and the sticks are durable. Customizing the controller paddles/buttons is ready to do from the app in your Xbox console

    Def an upgrade from the standard controllers. Battery life is incredible and I love the extra inputs on the back. My original elite controller lasted almost 9 years, hopefully this investment lasts just as long.
