Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love the weight and grip on this controller. The pads come off for washing if needed and you can change the feedback on the triggers with buttons on the back

This is the best and worst controller xbox puts out. It feels amazing in your hand and the charging feature is awesome. All the different buttons on the back are great. Only issue is i had to return 2 of these before i found one that the triggers didn't feel sticky right out the box. I watched some YouTube videos on the issue and i fixed the 3rd one by putting an alcohol pad in the back of the trigger with a skinny piece of metal. Apparently there's glue or something that is always back there. After several week my right thumb stick drifts. Other than the stupid issues it's still way better than the ones the xbox comes with.

I love this controller. It feels way more premium than the standard Xbox controller. And of course it has the added functionality of paddles, trigger locks, and controller presets. It’s mad my gaming sessions much more enjoyable.

If your looking for input customization for different games and more anaolog options for your thumbs this is the controller for you. I have had my old one for about 4 years and I wouldnt replace it with any other type. I was happy to see they had a cheaper option because all the old parts from my other one still can be used on this one. Also has a lot of weight to it and can take an impact if dropped.

Great controller. It is a bit pricy, but it seems to last longer than standard Xbox controllers from getting stuck drift. The paddles are nice since you can take them off and put them on when convenient. The hard case that it comes with is very nice for storing the interchangeable D-Pad/joystick pieces.

It feels phenomenal, just like every Elite controller Microsoft makes. But just like every Elite controller Microsoft makes, it wears too quickly. The rubber grips aren't a problem this time, bur there's already drift on one of the sticks and the R-trigger is squeaking loudly. It feels like these things are destined to break down quickly despite being the most comfortable and satisfying controllers to use.

This controller feels amazing right out of the box. The build quality is solid, the buttons are super responsive, and the grips make long gaming sessions comfortable without slipping. The analog sticks are smooth and precise, and the triggers feel great for shooters and racing games. Battery life has been reliable, and it connects quickly with no issues. Overall, this is a high-quality controller that performs exactly as expected—definitely worth the purchase.

The elite controller is great, I've had a couple of series 1 and 2. I would recommend the protection plan, the controller will break in some capacity, all pro controllers are infamous for this, whether it be stick drift, grips pealing, broken bumpers, or broken charging port, something will eventually go wrong with it.

These controllers are great. Pros: Customizable Feels great Love the grips Cons: About to get my 4th one is 6 years. Had 1 with bad stick drift after a year (common issues) 1 both bumpers stopped working consistantly (common) Was able to use paddles to solve this problem. 1 that the house cracked (might have came that way), but spread. Treated the controller carefully too. So, love the controller. But i am also prepare to replace it every year lol.

I purchased the Xbox Elite Series 2 controller from Best Buy and have been very impressed with the quality and performance. The controller feels solid and premium, with customizable paddles, adjustable tension thumbsticks, and great battery life. It’s extremely comfortable to use and noticeably improves gameplay, especially for competitive games. The purchase process at Best Buy was smooth, and the controller arrived in perfect condition. Overall, this is an excellent upgrade for any Xbox or PC gamer, and I highly recommend both the controller and buying it from Best Buy.

Great controller, once you’ve played with back paddles you can’t go back. Easy to program on your console. I can honestly give it 5 stars because I don’t count the normal wear and tear of a controller. I get a new controller whenever the stick drift gets too unbearable which is around 18mos for this particular controller. Some of the more expensive controllers tend to wear out sooner than that.

The microsoft elite controller 2 is the best controller Ive owned! The grip on the handle is very comfortable, the adjustable triggers and joysticks make it the most personalized controller out there currently!! It’s rechargeability is exactly what XBOX has been missing all these years!! The controller may be a little pricey but in comparison to the stock controller, this controller blows it out of the water!!

The grips are nice, the mutiple pads are really nice i have smaller hands so two is enough, clicking one button can set 3 different preset paddle binds, its inconvenient if your good at multiple games that need different button binds, Many reviews and people say that the bumbers start to fail first but really just take care of it and dont just set it anywhere

Love the customization, the textured grip, adjustable triggers, can change out the thumbsticks as well as the d-pad.

The Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller feels like a premium upgrade in every way. The build quality is solid, the grip is comfortable for long gaming sessions, and the adjustable tension sticks give great precision. The triggers are smooth, and the response time is excellent. I also love how easy it is to customize with the Xbox Accessories app. It’s a great choice if you want pro-level performance without the full price of the complete Elite bundle.

Materials and textures feel great. The added weight is a plus in my opinion. Trigger travel settings is nice as well as the internal rechargeable battery that should have been in the regular controller to begin with. Ability to save several user profiles is fantastic. Only issue is price. On holiday discount at $135 it's doable. At retail of around $200 is way too much.

To qualify this review, during the entire Xbox One cycle, I purchased 1 controller besides the stock controller. 1. Since purchasing my Xbox series S, I’ve gone through 3 standard controllers, 2 Wolverine chroma 2s. This controller is my 7th in 2 years. I’ve waited a month to see how it performs and so far it’s performed how I would expect a standard controller to perform. The weight is a bit heavier than a standard controller. Personally, I like heavier controllers so that’s not an issue. The feel of this controller is very close to the Recon Tech Special Edition from the Xbox 1 days. That is a huge positive for me. The grips and how it feels in your hands are perfect. One downside to this controller is the buttons. You would think that for a top tier controller that you’d have much better spring and pop in the action buttons…..these feel cheap. Like, when will they break?, ..cheap. I do like that the app to adjust the controller is seamless with the Xbox settings. I also like that you can get the best controller MS has to offer without having to waste money on the paddle kit in the more expensive bundle. I purchased the Core and a third party paddle kit and paid a combined $50 less than the Series 2. The biggest factor for me is the length of time this controller will last…and when aren’t there yet. On the plus side, there is a one year warranty once you register the controller with MS, despite Best Buy telling me that it was only 3 months like all standard controllers.

Overall, the product is in good condition. I found a minor flaw, but it's lightweight, so overall, the product was in perfect condition with all the buttons and good JoyCon movement. So, overall, the product came in good condition despite being used

Really good controller and comfortable grip. Only issue is that I didn't have the replacement parts that it came with like it sated on the box. but overall quite happy with it, plus really long battery life. I only had to charge maybe once or twice since I bought

Right out of the box the quality of the controller is amazing, the weight from the metal and the grip they used felt amazing. All around it’s the best bang for your buck controller. The only reason I gave one less star is that I bought the controller assuming it came with paddles but it didn’t and that’s my fault obviously it caused me to go on amazon and buy and wait for the paddles to come.
