Our take on the Xbox Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller (Black)

The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 is Microsoft's premium pro-style pad for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Windows. It adds adjustable-tension thumbsticks, a wrap-around rubberized grip, hair-trigger locks, swappable stick tops, D-pads and paddles, and button remapping through the Xbox Accessories app. Up to three profiles save on the controller and switch on the fly, and the built-in rechargeable battery is rated up to 40 hours. It suits competitive players who want tuning and paddles, but it is heavier and pricier than a standard controller, and owners have long reported stick drift and face-button faults.
