Xbox Elite 2 Wireless Controller
Use it on my PC/Android phone primary, occasionally on my Xbox/iPad). The Xbox companion app on windows makes it super easy to update the controller or change the binding for all (3) profiles. The controller is the best you can get period. The accessories alone are awesome (charging case, different length sticks, back paddles, dpads) and make it worth the purchase. If you can catch it on sale, or even full price, buy it. If you are serious or semi serious about your gaming (Xbox/Android/iOS/PC). Buy it immediately.

Easy to customize, love the paddles feature!
Love how customaizable it is with the changeable d-pad and the paddles. I was hesitant to use the paddles but once I got the hang of it and learned how to do the paddle assignments for my favorite games, it seriously is a game changer! I also LOVE how you simply dock it and it charges AND you can change the center Xbox button color!

A good controller
A very good controller for all around gaming. You don’t need to be a pro league gamer to get enjoyment out of this controller, the paddles allow so much versatility for so many different types of players. The small form factor and high quality materials make it sit easy and comfortable in the hands, and the long battery life will keep you playing for days. The customization potential is endless with the Xbox devices app (which can be downloaded on pc as well) which gives those who are tinkers full reign. Those who would rather just “set it and forget it” also have many great preset options.

Sadness but I got a refund
If I would have paid full price for this I would have been very displeased with the overall product. I returned the used one based on that the right bumper barely worked. I tried to work around it by mapping the paddles but that was somehow worse than an inconsistent bumper. Besides the fact I could change the controller emblem color (should be mandatory at this point for all the controller considering the regular ones are $60/$70). The pro controller is just a glorified overpriced Xbox series controller.

Worth it..especially at the open box price.
Best Buy offered the best deal I could find for the Elite 2 controller. I appreciate its heavier and more durable feel compared to the regular controller. The attempt to fix the grip issue and the switch to USB-C are also positives. However, it would be even better with hall effect or a similar feature to prevent stick drift. It's worth noting that these controllers came out before hall effect joysticks became more common. Perhaps this is something they will consider for the Elite 3 design improvements.

Best Controller on the Market
Love this controller and will always stick with this brand. The customization is amazing and has top-tier performance. The weight, grips, and overall build are far superior to other brands. If you are thinking about buying it - do it! Have fun playing with the paddles and mapping them to whatever feels best for each game. It will feel weird at first but makes gaming so much more enjoyable and competitive. Highly recommend keeping all 4 paddles on for almost every game. Also, trigger locks are OP! BIG plus, I have not experienced any stick drift with any of these controllers. I have had 4 in total. Microsoft is a genius for The Xbox Accessories app, which allows you to make profiles for every game that you can easily switch to with a press of just one button. Only one con with this generation and the original Elite: The LB button and only the LB button eventually gives out. This happens usually within a year, but I also use it frequently. This seems to be common in all the forums I have read. Bring it back into Best Buy within a year and they will send it off to Microsoft to fix. Est. 2 week wait Highly recommend getting the Geek Squad Warranty if you decide to purchase for a faster turnaround.

Elite
Really high quality feel and everything it comes with and how you can adjust triggers and thumbsticks. You can also program the computer for custom profiles for button /paddle mapping. You can also choose a custom color for your center xbox logo to be and change brightness of the light and now order custom colors. This is an amazing controller. One of my few non-buyers remorse purchases for a video game PC player. It definitely made me better by not having to move thumbs from sticks.. must buy if you are in the market for premium controller.

Great buy, but seriously consider.
It's a recent generation xbox controller, so it can easily connect to your windows pc without the need of a dongle. The back buttons... on the back... are a life-changer. I would personally have a hard time going back to a controller without back buttons. You can customize the back buttons -and I think the general buttons too- however you want. You can have up to 4 back buttons in total and they are all removable. So if you are unsure about using them all at once, you can simply ease into it. The price is expensive, so make sure to properly think if you want such a product, but it is cheaper than getting the xbox core controller and the separate accessories. Great to play on your xbox or if you like to use controllers for your pc, it is easy to do so.

Get a USB dongle for wireless PC gaming
The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 is one of the best feeling controllers I have ever used. The build quality overall is great, and modularity is a bonus. The options to wirelessly charge or using the USB-C cable is also great. Battery life has been awesome for how often I use the controller for PC gaming. This controller connects to your PC by either pairing via Bluetooth, direct connection using the included USB-C cable, or by purchasing a separate Microsoft USB dongle. I have not had any stick drift issues thus far, but I did purchase the extended warranty from Microsoft for $20. I bought this controller on sale which in my opinion is still expensive for what this is. If this was a controller at the $120 price, it would definitely be worth it. Likes: Build quality, modularity, battery life; hard shell case, all the cables included Dislikes: Poor Bluetooth connectivity Oh, by the way: After connecting this controller to my newly built PC, it struggled to keep a wireless connection. This controller worked perfectly fine when directly connected. I downloaded all the drivers necessary and tried some other trouble shooting recommendations, but in the end, the Bluetooth on this controller just plain sucks. I went and purchased the Microsoft controller USB dongle and all my wireless connection issues were resolved with this controller. If you want wireless play via PC, the USB dongle is a much buy unfortunately.
