Great controller! But when that stick drift happens it’s a wrap. Worth getting the geek squad insurance so you walk in and out with a new controller without any fuss.

The price is up and quality is down on these elite remotes. As i was not paying attention when i was doing a warranty exchange and was only given credit for a core elite so im out the 70$ difference. My mistake i guess

Great controller. Love the ability to customize and the weight of the controller. The rechargeable battery already included in the controller is nice as well.

although i don’t use all the paddles in the back, using even 2 is a big game changer. also being able to change the button sensitivity is great!

Nice remote works well with no issues. I preferred the black edition, but settled for this one; I just didn't see the need for so much more money just to receive an all-black edition.

One of the best controllers Microsoft has made, once you play with an elite controller you'll never be able to switch back to a non elite controller!

"Professional" reviews are normally hit or miss and here lately complete garbage. Wanted one of these for a while, so I got one. I was one that could only play 1st person shooters with keyboard and mouse. Tried many times with the Xbox wireless controller, but no way. After setting up the Elite with the windows app and a little practice, I am now playing 1st person shooters almost as good as a keyboard and mouse with the convenience of a controller. Its just more fun. The customization in the app is very nice. Stick curve and sensitivity along with full button customization. There is also recalibration. The controller feels premium and comfortable, I use all four paddles and dont need to touch the keyboard for normal play controls. After just a few days I tried the older wireless controller again and couldnt put it away fast enough. If you are on the fence about it, dont be! The additional sticks are a must. Magnetic charger is awesome.

I've had multiples of this controller and there is one major issue... Stick Drift. If they could fix the stick drift issue this would be a perfect controller. I have had them drift straight out of the box. It is pretty dumb that Microsoft hasn't fixed this issue.

This product is my favorite remote that I have ever had, I loved my black elite remote so now its its the second gen AND in red….im in heaven haha

Good when brand new, stick drift happens on either left or right thumb stick after a few months of use. BestBuy makes it easy to exchange broken defective items with their pro plan without any hassle.

Good controller though I don't really like the Xbox controller layout. starting to get stick drift after a little over 1 year. mainly used by 10/11 yr old.

Dont get me wrong, I LOVE this controller… although ive owned two of these and the left bumper is almost guarenteed to start sticking and not taking input. Forcing you to use your paddles as bumpers. Otherwise build quality is pretty good d pad and joysticks very responsive and adjustble triggers are a must. Just watch out for this flaw and be prepared for specificlly the left bumper to fail because it only takes just long enough fir it to get out of warranty.

Use this as my secondary Series X controller. It doesn’t come with all the additional accessories and attachments but its all at a good price especially if you already have a primary Elite controller

Way better than standered controller. If you have the money definitely buy this. Read description doesn't come withe triggers and all just controller. Still awesome

This controller functionally is great! However; this is my third iteration as the left and right bumpers wear out over time and even though they click, the input is not detected by the game. I primarily play Rocket League and use those bumpers frequently.

A great controller. As a casual gamer I’m not a fan of the faceted (round) d-pad not having any tactile markers or bumps, so I had to buy an aftermarket “+” shaped d-pad accessory. If you also get the back paddles for this controller they are placed well but require some playtime to get used to, especially if you are accustomed to squeezing the grips.

My favorite controller. It’s got the heft and feel of quality while offering a perfect fit for my hands. You know that sound of quality when you shut a well-made car door? Not tinny and weak, but that sold *thunk*? This is the console controller equivalent.

Very good product, grips make for a very comfort hand feel, feels solid. However the Magnetic Dpad is not great if you're looking to play fighting games with it, as it has a chance of popping off from intense use. Most buttons feel very good, press smooth, and very nice clicks. However out of the box I noticed that my x button had some stick which seemed to go away after some use. I'd recommend getting the warranty incase of any defects.

In my opinion was one of the best controllers I've used. High build quality for sure. Again my opinion. I've bought quite a lot from Best Buy and they have never let me down.

The Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller for Xbox is easily one of the best controllers you can buy if you’re serious about gaming. It feels substantially more premium than a standard Xbox controller, with a comfortable, thoughtful design that’s built to last and enhance your play.
