Customer Ratings & Reviews

Battery life and customization are appreciated, while the controller’s weight and in-hand feel are much more comfortable than basic/standard controller.

The previous gen was great and had clearly defined audio for all scenarios. The mic was a little lacking when compared to other headsets. Come gen 2 and they take the formula and tweak it just enough to give you the great audio with a great mic. Do keep in mind that it does have a removable foam filter on it in case that bothers you.

Great weight to it, very responsive. Love it. Would definitely recommend!

Does not come with the attachments to be able to swap out joysticks.

Great controller my son loves it big difference in his gameplay

By far the beat controller across all consoles. Even better than Scuf in my opinion, although I know this was made in partnership with Scuf. The app on Xbox makes it a lot easier than manually setting the paddles. Recommended an extended warranty. This is my second elite series 2. I bought the first one Nov 2019 upon release, experienced left thumbstick drift after 4 months, only a 90 day warranty. Paid $100 to have Microsoft fix and bought a new one with the extended warranty, because playing Cod with a regular controller doesn’t feel right anymore.

Controller is definitely worth the money, takes the experience to the next level. No need for batteries or control freaks, can seti it up how you want it. Settings for controller on xbox make a worlds difference. Worth every minute ive had it!

Great controller! My original one was getting old with stick drift.

Love the customization. Lots customization. Only thing I hate on this is the price. Hoping it last longer than the original since that started to have left joystick “stick-drift”. Wish the battery was removable. Feel like MS did the whole recharge battery thing knowing that rechargeables only last so long. Meaning more money for MS if it’s time to replace because of a battery death. We shall see what dies first: the joystick or the battery

Works great, first controller ive bought other then what comes with consoles. Works flawlessly with my pc too!

I like it, I haven’t dealt with any issues with the buttons

Seriously love it. Thought it wouldn’t be that much better but the red really pops in this bad boy. I think it feels better than my all black series 2 I got when they came out.

Excellent controller. I enjoy the feel and the ability to map the back buttons. Other in the house also have different button mappings that are easily controlled directly from the controller. I have not experienced any drift and the RB/LB buttons haven't failed me like the E1

Love this controller. I have 2 at home and gave one as a gift. Everyone is quiet satisfied.

After owning the elite series 1 controller for 4 years, I decided to give this controller a shot. Its clear to me that Microsoft has since stopped caring about product quality and placed the emphasis on marketing. I was initially impressed by the build quality of this product (it feels very high quality and well built in the hands), but actually using the controller is another story. Right out of the box, the Y button would consistently not register my button presses. This basically made the controller unusable as I need that button for the games I play. I thought I had got a defective controller, so I returned it for another one. To my surprise, the second controller not only had the same issue, but was also doing it on the A button. This product is straight up unusable, no matter how good it looks or feels. It’s sad that paying more than double the price of a regular controller, only gets you a nice paper weight. I cannot recommend this product to anyone. I returned the second controller and got the Razer Wolverine, which has exceeded my expectations.

Controller works great and it’s still working great despite using it every day and accidentally dropping it off my bed once. Sturdy and great for competitive games.

Back paddels are great and trigger stop is good for gaming lots of mods to do in the xbox app

This broke after only two months. The right joystick, which I never use, spins freely when centered, and gets stuck when I move it up. Microsoft warranty is worthless as it costs $49 for shipping and parts. It lists specific parts but I don't even know if that will fix it. This is the most I have paid for a controller and have been very careful with it. My old, generic XBox controller lasted for years.

It's a great product. Comfortable in hands and great for mapping buttons.

Device works well better than the original controller
