Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works great, I love that I can add extras to it when I want to.

I really dig this controller and look forward to the inevitable Elite 3 which will (hopefully) borrow a bit more of the things I like about the Series SX controller. In the meantime, this will be just fine. It's expensive, so I do recommend trying to catch it on a sale. The build quality feels excellent, and I'm generally happy with the level of customization it allows me on PC. I primarily use this for FPS games (Apex Legends, at the moment). If you're feeling limited by what your standard controller or gamepad lets you do (especially as far as movement goes), this might help. There's a learning curve, and you'll probably spend a few days figuring out how to map your buttons with another week adjusting to using paddles, but once you get it, you can expect to feel as comfortable with it as you would any other gamepad. I really like the magnetic attachments, the trigger stops, the "Shift" options that let me program buttons do more than a single function, and the overall feel of it. The d-pad is a bit more squishy than I'd like, and I do prefer the feel of the SX d-pad to this one. It's fine, though, and you don't really use it much for FPS games, anyway. I've heard complaints about stick drift, but I think that's an eventuality with all modern controllers, regardless of brand. I typically do a full rotation with each stick before I start playing, and that tends to "reset" them, so stick drift isn't really a problem for me, especially in games with deadzone settings. That said, I've only had this a few weeks. I do have an extended warranty, just in case, so time will tell. If you think this might be for you and aren't completely turned off by the price, I'd recommend it. If you can't think of a reason you'd want it or would ever want to pay that much for a controller, skip it. Beyond FPS games, I could see this as being super cool for racing games and maybe a few other genres. Also, if you're using it for PC, get the dongle (I think it runs about $20-30). I already had one, and it works really well.

Looks and feels great. Did not contain the hotkey bars I was expecting that came with the previous models. Still, I was able to take my old ones and use those. Other than that, it’s great!

The only controller I will use. This is a great controller.

Solid controller. Good Paddles. Reliable and great feel to it

Love the controller it is a perfect pair to my pc and cloud gaming controller the replacement

Old reliable right here. Ive tried a few different controllers and always come back to the elite 2 series because of its sturdiness, heaviness, button map quality and ease of use and it connects with my wireless headsets

The controller is awesome! I love the ease of swapping joysticks, and the use of paddles. The adjustment of the trigger pull is so cool and the hair trigger click adjustment makes my shooting accuracy much better. Don’t forget, you can adjust the tension of the sticks which is surprisingly useful.

I like it, havent been able to find another controllee with the 4 back buttoms that feel like these.

By far the best Xbox Controller I've ever had. I fortunately got it on sale at a great price. The controller itself is the perfect shade of red really put together quite nicely. The packaging itself was very neat and clean. Though most importantly the functionality of said controller is more than ideal for any game. The layout of the controller with extra buttons and quicker response time is ideal for any game. Overall i highly recommend everyone to upgrade to this controller.

Let me start by saying I LOVE this controller. The customization, the easy charging, and being able to set the tension on the joysticks is second to none. I’ve tried all the other third party controllers that are similar to this one, and none are quite as good as this. With that being said, it isn’t without issues. The first one that I bought would randomly disconnect whether it was wireless or whether it was wired. As far as the wireless disconnects go I found out that my router was on the same frequency channels and then with the controller uses so when it would frequency hop it would kick the controller off those channels. If you research what channel the controller uses then you can set your router to use a subset of channels that are higher than it and you won’t have the issue, but it took a while for me to figure that out. Hopefully that helps someone reading if you have that problem at home. As far as it disconnecting even though it was wired to the consul I’m not sure why that was happening, but I will say it’s not happening with the second one I have now. The other issue I had was stick drift and button failure. My left bumper started not working as well and was really intermittent, and both of my six developed drift. Luckily I bought the warranty and I was able to get it replaced with a brand new one but that was in process by itself that took months. Finally one came in stock because they were never in stock because everyone is replacing them constantly, that I was able to order pay for and then Best Buy reimburse me after going through a couple of management levels although I was preapproved previously by support. Buy the replacement warranty. If you can put up with a few flaws that it has, bottom line is it is the best one you can buy and don’t hesitate to purchase.

Picked this up when it was on sale and it is great

Feels good in hand buttons are smooth.. Definitely improves the way tpu play..

I absolutely love this I like how you can change out the thumb sticks anytime and the buttons on the back of it are very useful would definitely buy this again

Works Great!! Got this for my son who is an avid gamer so takes lot of use.

Husband loved the color and elite controllers are so limited on colors, we were excited to get red.

Great controller with excellent features. Only problem, is the issues these controllers tend to develop. Personally, I have gone through at least half a dozen of these controllers since they debuted. Stick drift is a gaurentee. Pretty smooth out of the box, but eventually, they'll break in and its not pretty. Bumpers usually are the next to fail. Haven't had issues with the series 2, as far as rubber grips peeling off. Microsoft has been aware of these issues for quite some time. Doesn't seem like they care, even with the looming class-action lawsuit over these contollers. For the price point, I wouldn't say these are worth it. Only reason i bought another one over the Turtle Beach Stealth, is the elite can still accomadate for the M80 mixamp for Astro A40's. For a little extra $, get something with Hall-effect sticks. They dont break as easy.

While this contorller does not have the “premium feel” as its older brother, it feels good to have another more durable Elite contoller in my hands. Hands down one of the best contollers made.

A year later… still world perfectly. Honestly , there isn’t much to say about it. I love it, the settings are saved across the board Whether I’m using the controller for my Xbox, pc or Used for my phone - it saves the settings for all the games I want to use it for under its profile. Super easy to get used to, and feels amazing. 10/10

best controller I purchased so far I haven't had any stick drift gameplay is smooth
