    Works as expected. I love the color. I had my last Elite controller for 4 years no stick drift. Only replaced it because the grip started peeling off.

    Great battery life, feel, quality. Now that I'be used paddles, I can't go back. Took off one star due to weak bumper design. This gen is better than last, but still not very durable.

    Xbox series Elite 2 controller review

    It is a nice controller it would be a great controller if they could fix all the issues with the drift and the dead zones and also the price is kind of high for what it is I think it should be only about $80 I don't think it's worth the almost $200 it would be a $200 controller if it used Titanium or something but I'm sure the cost of the material is not warranted $200 but it is a nice controller over the stock ones. I like the stock ones too of course it doesn't have all the other features that the this one has but I can live with the stock one because it's only $49 on sale and this is $200 so I can buy four regular controllers for the price of one of these but it's up to you preference and your money situation

    On The Button

    This works perfectly. I upgraded to this because of the buttons on bottom. The only problem I have is... the buttons on bottom. They work so well that I keep them turned off so they don't get input from my handling the controller. It's good to know that they are there, should I decide to use them.

    Owned two now i love the premium feel but at the same time its made cheap my first one got stick drift (when will these multi billion dollar companies start using hall effect) within 3 months and my right bumper stopped working and had cracks all over i think from gripping it to hard as for the one i got from bestbuy its still holding up 7 months later maybe i got unlucky with my first even if they are made cheaply they still have nice features the battery life is very good and the paddles are aswell (i bought some off amazon for cheap) you can re map buttons etc i personally can not go back to a basic controller they feel extra cheap in comparison i recommend the elite core but only on a sale with a warranty

    I've used many controllers over the years. This is the best one I've used. Used with a gaming PC, easy to set up, easy to use. Love the feel. Side note: I've larger hands than most, has great grip and feel in my hands so might be a bit clunky for some.

    This is a great controller. Internal battery is nice. A single charge lasts a long time, the responsiveness is outstanding. I love the hair trigger option and the 3 different paddle setups for different play styles. Its so versatile and easy to switch between console, to pc, and even to my phone during trips. Comes with extra parts too. Definitely a good purchase

    One of the most comfortable controllers I’ve used in a very long time. I’m usually not a fan of grips on the controller but it really feels nice and another plus would be the battery life I rarely have to recharge my controller

    This controller is much better than the series 1. I especially like the adjustable tension of the joysticks. No problems with stick drift like the last series. Only complaint I have is the A button sticks occasionally and there is an inconsistent pressure it takes for each paddle to trigger. Overall it is a complete upgrade from the standard controller!

    Got this to replace the old elite core controller. This feels somewhat better but the black runner grip is coming loose after one month. RB still works & no drift yet. Definitely buy the replacement warranty. Too expensive not to.

    Love the controller. Great holiday gift for someone this season. Has a great battery life. I probably need to charge it every week and a half or so. Feels very high quality. I dont want to go back to a reqular controller. Highly recommend

    Please purchase the geek squad warranty, this is the best feeling controller on Xbox one but if you drop it at least once you might not have functional buttons no more and you will have to buy another controller, this is my third and I had to finally pay the extra cash to know that I can get my controller replaced if something goes wrong
