Confession. I originally got this controller for my husband’s birthday because it was on his wishlist. Somehow I’ve ended up using it more than him because of his busy work schedule. I never saw this as a need for me because I own a Steam Deck which is like a Switch (built in controller). I recently had a friend recommend some Apple Arcade games to me and when I tried to play with my phone it said I needed a controller. This led me to my husband’s controller and pairing it to my computer monitor was so easy — no issues at all. I like that this controller comes with different pad options for the controls so you really have some customization options with this.

I LOVE my elite controller. It's has some weight to it, which I really enjoy. It makes it feel higher end over the normal ones that are super light. The back grips are fantastic! Helps prevent slip when you've been playing a little too long and your hands get a little sweaty. Every component can be removed super easily and replaced so the customisation of this controller is phenomenal. True wireless, battery lasts for days before needing to be charged up again, which is easily done with a usb-c cable. Can connect easily to any console EVEN computer and be used with a wide range of xbox and pc games. It also contains 4 back paddles that are extensions to the L1 L2 R1 R2 buttons. Once you get used to using the elite, it's very hard to go back.

The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 excels in performance, offering precise controls and seamless responsiveness, enhancing the overall gaming experience. Its customizability is a standout feature, allowing my boyfriend to personalize the controller by changing the buttons to a vibrant red, adding a touch of style to his setup. Additionally, the extended battery life ensures uninterrupted gaming sessions, providing both reliability and convenience. It's a winning combination of performance and customization.

Very sturdy product. I feel like I never have to charge this controller the battery last forever. Very comfortable for long periods of play. I ordered different back paddles for the controller and the amount of customization it has is great I ended up ordering new thumb sticks as well and a new D-pad. That’s not even talking about the software side of being able to remap all the buttons for comfortable play. Really enjoy this controller. Highly recommend.

This controller rules lots of great things to do and customize with this one. You can even customize it digitally in the Xbox dashboard. The price is expansive but sooo worth it. Its hefty controller weighs better than the OG controllers that come with Xbox. Battery life is 40+hrs single charge. Comes with carrying case and charge usb c cable and even can charge within the case itself. The buttons and everything in controller are remapped around to your choosing.

This is an exceptional upgrade from the standard Xbox controller. The build quality feels premium, with a solid weight and durable materials that enhance the gaming experience. The customizable buttons, paddles, and adjustable thumbstick tension offer a personalized touch, making it versatile for different gaming styles. The battery life is impressive, lasting up to 40 hours on a single charge, and the included charging dock is a nice addition. The rubberized grip ensures a comfortable hold during long gaming sessions. Overall, it's a fantastic choice for those looking to elevate their gaming experience.

The Xbox Elite Series 2 wireless controller is a high-end option for Xbox enthusiasts. It elevates your gameplay with extensive customization features like swappable thumbsticks, d-pads, and paddles to perfectly match your playstyle. The build quality is top-notch, featuring a comfortable grip and premium materials for a luxurious feel. However, the Elite Series 2 comes with a premium price tag that might be daunting for casual gamers. But for serious players seeking unparalleled comfort, customization, and performance, the Elite controller is the ultimate gamepad.

Broken controllers

I purchased the elite Series 2 core white controller from this seller. The item description states that these are restored and fully functional controllers. Meaning they function like new but may have some visual cosmetic wear. The controller appeared to be in good visual condition but upon using it, obvious issues. The RB button doesn't really work, drift stick in the right thumbstick and the a button doesn't really work. The box it arrived in even said controller "Grade B" what does that even mean, and why wasn't I sent a "grade A" controller. Assuming "grade A" means fully functional. This is nothing more than a scam, conning people into buying already broken controllers. You know what you're selling/sending out and your "controller grading system sticker" on the ... MoreI purchased the elite Series 2 core white controller from this seller.

Good enough?

Straight from the box it looked like the perfect controller, which was surprising because I bought it discounted due to defects but still made it in working condition. Happily trying out the new controller on a game, and I learned quickly that the left trigger button would not work! And if I press it inwards to the right then it will work and the left and right bumpers only work if you press it juuust right. And I did buy warranty but I’m afraid they will take it and give me my discounted price instead of a new controller. I give it 2 stars because it is not playable by the average user. But higher than what I thought because if your like me you get what you get and fix it or fret! I would like a new one fresh out of the box though so I’ll put it three stars! 🙃
