When the first Elite controller came out it was light-years ahead of the standard controller in terms of build quality, functionality and design; it was hard to imagine what Microsoft could do to could make it better (apart from stopping the rubber grips from peeling off after a year or so of use) . The Series 2 is about as far away from the original elite as the original elite was from the standard controller. The best bits from the original are better and the new features really give the edge over any other controller on the market. Standardised Bluetooth makes it a must have for PC too. It may be expensive as far as controllers go but it's worth every dollar.

Best controller I've ever had.

I bought the Elite wireless (Series 2) controller from Mightyape when it was first released last year in November, though I'm still getting use to it as well as still using the “regular” Xbox One controllers, this is hands down the best gaming controller ever, especially with the mapping to use the paddles underneath so your thumbs don't have to leave the thumbsticks.

My Elite V1 grip peeled after 1 year, filled in the repair form on the Xbox site. After 3 weeks, I am shocked that they sent me 1× Elite V2 for free. Thanks, Microsoft!

Great gamepad to use, works effortlessly with Windows PCs and the remappable buttons and changeable trigger / stick depth etc are all nice features, though be aware Microsoft does not let you remap the buttons to keyboard functions without external programs.

Bought this for my son’s birthday-was one of his wish items, he absolutely loves it, I might need 2 get one!! Getting jealous!!

The controller is expensive but worth it. It has weight to it and feels sturdy. The adjustable buttons are nice.

The elite controller did take some getting used to, with all the new buttons. I thought they were a bit odd but after a few rounds of Halo MC, it's made playing games a bit more easier to navigate. It is pretty pricey, yes, but it is worth it. No issues so far or none I haven't noticed. All-in-all, I very good controller.

I’ve had different pro controllers and this is the best one I have (aside from my Elite controller series 2 Halo edition) where everything is in the right place and all what you want from a pro controller.
