Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was on the hook due to price but after purchasing I was surprised how much I enjoyed using this controller.  I like the different opinions available to me.  The controller itself is nice and comfortable.  You have the option of changing the joysticks, triggers can be set to different sensitivity, paddles can be set for quick access during game play. You can also go into the controller settings for different joystick game play options. I don't see myself using a regular controller again.  There's also a nice case with a dock to recharge your controller.

Hands down the best controller. Rechargeable by just placing it in its case. Multiple ways to adjust every aspect of the way it works. Trigger pull, dead space, sticks, 5 types of movement speed that can be adjusted and feels great in your hand. I have 3 in their cases so I can just swap them out when ones battery's low.

This remote is awesome. From the interchangable thumbsticks and hair triggers to the completely remappable paddles. Perfect for all types of gamers! You can tell the moment you pick it up this is a quality and durable product! Not to mention the fact that the case doubles as a charger when you set the cintroller inside!

If youre accustomed to the xbox controller, you'll feel right at home here. It includes all the ergonomics youve come to enjoy over the years, but includes all the bells and whistles. Controller is sturdy, weighty, and feels premium in thr metal and matte materials. The hair triggers are an especially useful tool for serious FPS players. Highly recommend.

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.

Wonderful quality. Sticks are interchangeable, haven’t had any stick drift after months of playing, has a nice charging stand, everything about it feels great. Worth the money in my opinion

This controller is amazing I absolutely love it! I was looking at scuf and battle beaver since that’s what pros use but then I stumbled upon this on Reddit and so I pulled the trigger wow! The quality is great it feels very premium. So many adjustments you can make from mapping the buttons or paddles to adjusting tension on the sticks. You can remove and use different sticks or DPAD with a quick pull. It comes with a very nice carrying case for when on the go and so you can take care of your $175 controller haha. You do have to download like 3 Microsoft apps on the computer to do that though and that is slightly annoying and makes it difficult for the average person that doesn’t know what they’re doing. Pros: -premium materials -interchangeable buttons and sticks -adjust tension of sticks and trigger tolerances -comes with a nice case to hold everything -paddles Cons: - It is nice but it is also $175 lol an Xbox is $299 so you are buying another Xbox haha kind of cray Overall I would definitely tell people to buy this And I would say it’s a good investment if you play competitive shooters like COD. It does take some getting used to. You’re gonna keep trying to hit the buttons becsuse you’ve always played like that but once you are trained you will play a lot better since you don’t have to take your hands of the sticks and away from aiming to jump reload switch weapons and lay down. I map mine right too paddle: reload Left top paddle: switch weapons Button left: jump Bottom right: lay down/crouch. I hope this helps.

I had a bad experience when i bought this controller as it came with stick drift out of the box. Took it back and the second one has been great so far. Love customization options as u can dial your sticks to your preference. The buttons feel good. The grip feels Better than original controller but not at good a Power A fusion pro. Overall great controller definitely improves your gaming.

I love it works great for every game I want to play it feels great in my hands I don't have to stress out I can just not have to deal with what you normally have to deal with with a regular controller this control is unique it has its own personal customization feature to it so I would definitely get this and I know it's 180 bucks but it's worth it

I bought this so I never had to take my fingers off the thumb sticks. Works great for this can map the 4 paddles to any buttons on the controller. And they are at your fingertips this said the controller is awesome. The battery lasts for every long gaming session I have charge it every night when I go to bed. I use the Xbox Stereo headset with this and it still has no problem. Only thing I would of asked was a smaller price tag.

Overall I really do like the elite controllers, this one specifically had an issue with the left bumper but I'm assuming that's an abnormality. The extra buttons on the bottom are some of the most comfortably designed I've ever used. If you catch these on sale they are amazing, I'd love to find a less expensive option, but so far not much else compares.

I love this controller! It’s my go to when I game. It’s a little smaller to me, which is important. Because I have tiny hands! The grip has a nice feel to it. Only thing I don’t like about this controller is my RB sometimes does not work. As well as the joint sticks can get stick drift. Make sure to get the warranty.

this controller is amazing, the build quality, materials, buttons, everything is very solid. however there is a massive flaw in the design. the sticks cannot be clicked in while tilted at an angle, I read online this was a common issue and can be fixed by unscrewing the stick counter clock wise slightly, however if you do this just 1mm too much it will be lose and freely spin, and tightening it will result in the same issue being unable to click the stick in. the solution for this was to take the controller faceplate off which is very annoying to do and held down but pointless adhesive and put a .5mm thick 4mm inner diameter jump ring around the stick and then screw the stick back on. the process is very annoying for an almost $200 controller when ms knows the issue and refuses to redesign such a simple fix, but it now feels perfect

The Xbox Elite Series 2 controller is incredible! The build quality is top-notch, with customizable buttons and paddles that make gaming feel more precise. The rechargeable battery lasts a long time, and the adjustable tension sticks are a nice touch. Worth every penny for serious gamers!

The Microsoft Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller for Xbox is widely regarded as one of the best gaming controllers on the market, offering a premium experience for dedicated gamers. Here’s a detailed review: Pros: 1. Exceptional Customization: The Elite Series 2 allows deep customization with adjustable-tension thumbsticks, interchangeable components, and mappable buttons. Players can save up to three profiles and switch between them effortlessly, making it ideal for different game genres. 2. Premium Build Quality: The controller features a durable design with rubberized grips and a solid weight that feels premium in hand. The swappable components and shorter hair-trigger locks enhance precision and control. 3. Outstanding Battery Life: With up to 40 hours of gameplay on a single charge, the internal rechargeable battery is a significant upgrade from standard controllers. 4. Versatility: The controller is compatible with Xbox consoles, PCs, and even mobile devices via Bluetooth or USB-C connection, making it a versatile option for gamers across platforms. 5. Enhanced Comfort: The ergonomic design and wrap-around grips ensure comfort during extended gaming sessions. Cons: 1. High Price Point: At $179.99, the Elite Series 2 is significantly more expensive than standard controllers, which may deter some buyers. 2. Durability Concerns: Some users report issues like stick drift or button malfunctions after extended use, raising questions about long-term reliability. 3. Limited Bluetooth Performance: While connectivity options are robust, some users experience inconsistent Bluetooth performance on PCs without purchasing an additional USB dongle. 4. No Screenshot Button: Unlike newer controllers, it lacks a dedicated button for capturing screenshots or recording gameplay, which may disappoint some players. Final Verdict: The Microsoft Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller delivers an unparalleled gaming experience with its extensive customization options, premium materials, and excellent performance. However, its steep price and occasional durability concerns may not justify the cost for casual gamers. For those willing to invest in a high-end controller and take advantage of its advanced features, it remains one of the best options available today. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5) While nearly perfect in design and functionality, minor durability issues and the high price prevent it from being flawless.

I preordered this controller prior to release and have used it regularly since November of 2019. Overall, the controller felt like a joy to use; in almost every sense it gave the appearance of a premium product. The bluetooth and internal battery were natural quality of life improvements over the Elite 1. I used it regularly on my PC and an NVIDIA shield. Then, one morning, I went to use and felt myself being stabbed on my finger tip. Apparently, one of the tiny sleeves on the hair trigger lock popped off the controller. It happens to be in a place where I naturally hold the controller; so far from having a smooth and nice tactile feel, I get stabbed in the finger by what appears to be metal every time I use the controller. A little bit of research revealed this to be a known problem with multiple threads on the MS support site complaining of this issue. The common solution seemed to be to super glue the sleeve into the trigger (which is startling given how expensive the controller is). However, despite this knowledge, there is no option to purchase a replacement sleeve from MS and its not included in the replacement button accessory kit the company sells. The only option provided to me by MS was to buy a replacement controller; a horrifically expensive proposition for what seems an obvious and glaringly simple fix on a "premium" product that hasn't even been on the market for a year. The best MS customer service could suggest was me to engineer a fix on my own, by either sticking a piece of eraser on the stabby part or a glue on bumper. A three figure "repair" option was offered to me as well. A great and expensive disappointment indeed.

The Microsoft will lead to controllers.Simply outstanding.It's customized buttons and paddles of significantly improved.My gameplane titles like Halo, infinite and Call of X Defiant The build quality is subpurb and the egoromic design ensures comfort.Doing long gaming sessions for serious gamers?Looking to gain an edge this controller is a must have highly recommended!

This is Top notch controller on the market this purchase was actually my second one because I fell in love with the first . Controller feel in the hand is 5/5 Customization is simple 5/5 Mapping and U.I simple user friendly 5/5 I’ve had other customizable controllers but they were to complicated to use every week there was a firmware update and the quality felt cheap . The only downside is that this controller does NOT come with a wireless dongle . I’m still going to give the controller 5 stars but in the future XBOX / Microsoft please add the wire dongle in the box .

As the title says, “I should’ve got I w sooner.” My brother got one and kept telling me it was worth it even at regular price and I chose not to believe him. When they went on sale for $50 off I figured why not? And let me tell you that now it’s the only controller I use. Battery life is good and so is the build quality and customization on the button mapping! You won’t regret it!

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.
