Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've held a few controllers in my hands, from the stock xbox controller, to the elite series 1 and 2. Let me say the most enjoyable controller for my gaming experience has been the elite series 2. With interchangeable thumbsticks, trigger stops to reduce the range of motion in FPS games, and paddles placed very well on the back of the controller, the elite series 2 certainly feels like it elevates my gameplay. I would certainly recommend it.

This should be the standard for all controllers to achieve. The amount of tweaking and customizing is insane, and only goes to show how much care Microsoft put into this controller. Travel case, charging dock, swappable d-pads/control sticks, textured grips, cables, tension tool, programmable profiles, trigger stops, paddles, I mean, I don't know what else they could do to make this thing even better. My hat goes off to you, Bravo!

We bought this for our son's 12th birthday and he was so very excited about it. Apparently he had been wanting it because his friend has one and we didn't even know it. The versatility is great and we love that it charges in the case. He is obsessed with Fortnite so he gets a lot of use out of it. Great controller and highly recommend for the advanced gamers. My only complaint is how much it costs. As a mom and not a gamer I don't understand why it's so expensive...

Very comfortable, and a lot of customization features. If you're a fan of the first one then you will definitely enjoy this one. Only downside is that it doesn't let you download controller schemes already created by other people like the first controller did. Also I had for a year and the RB button is starting to fail. Will have to be replaced

The slick design to fill in the interchangeable pad and analogs…

this is just sweet! very high end controller compared to the basic one or even the Elite from a few years ago. I love the grip and handle. the charger is well designed. it has four extra paddles in the back which I am sure someone knows how to program, but right now are preset.

Excellent one, it feels nice on hands. It's awesome to be able to adjust the resistance of the joysticks

I love the controller. It has a nice tight grip around, the controller is a little bigger than the normal controller which is nice because normal controllers are too small for my hands while this one, is the perfect size for me. The paddles on the back is so useful for when gaming

Microsoft's Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 has a not only a premium feel as noted by other reviewers, but also a quality appearance. Optional buttons and adjustments that be made to the controller only add to a stellar gaming experience. Price point might be considered a bit high, but definitely worth it if it can be purchased at a sale price.

Excellent customer service and the controller works perfectly.

Bought an open box in excellent condition. Sadly when i got the controller it was damaged but the amazing bestbuy service counter ordered me a new one. The customer service was absolutely amazing.

I like the new additions to this controller over the first Elite controller, but there are a couple things I don't like as much as the first Elite controller. Such as the buttons are a lot louder the both my Elite v1 controllers. Second and most annoying is that on the Elite v1 controller you barely have to tap the A button to get it to register on the V2 I had to return the first one I received because the A button half the time would not register and the second one is the same way if not a little worse. You definitely have to push the A button all the way down and sometimes it still don't register. The last issue is that it like many other people (mainly YouTube reviews) have mentioned it continuously disconnects from my Xbox One X. Battery life seems to live up to what is stated of 40 hrs. I do enjoy the grip of the V2 more than the original even though I had changed my back grips on my V1 with Scuff. I do recommend for those that don't have the Elite V1, but if you already have the V1 I probably would not recommend spending the money for the upgrade.

Would recommend for competitive gamers, for casuals who are just looking for a controller I’ll say this is expensive for your needs. Crazy helpful in certain games where you don’t want to constantly take your thumb off the analog stick. Great customization options like response curves, trigger and analog deadzones, trigger locks, analog tension and you can set custom profiles for specific games.

I only use one of the paddles but i like all the extra customization options. Definitely only buying one to use. I like it comes with a very ling maybe 2 meter charging cable that i can utilize for other things as well. The cable is also covered in some mesh not some cheap chargibg cable.

After using this controller for only a short time, I have only good things to say about it. Although a bit on the high side of price for a controller. The build quality, performance, and all around appearance is outstanding and well worth the money. I would definitely recommend this for any Xbox users and PC users who play on controller, a HUGE improvement over any other controller on the market.

Pros: Swappable joysticks plus a tall boi Metal D-pad Grips Bumper buttons have nice indents on them so you can hit them while holding the trigger Case Connects properly over BT to PC reliably and consistently Cons: 2x cost of a regular controller Paddles are meh We'll see how these hold up to long term use since that doesn't seem to be a strong point of Xbox controllers recently

This is a very well constructed and quality controller that feels really great to use. My issues with it stem from its pc compatibility. Firstly I would not use this controller via bluetooth, as there is intermittent latency, use a dongle or a cable to connect. Secondly, and my biggest disappointment, is that there does not appear to be any first party support for keyboard mapping. I found plenty of tutorials on how to use it. But when you try and use the software to map, the options are not there. I ended up using a third party software to accomplish this

One of the most comfortable controllers I’ve used in a very long time. I’m usually not a fan of grips on the controller but it really feels nice and another plus would be the battery life I rarely have to recharge my controller

This is the best controller I’ve ever used! I own the first edition of this controller also, but this one is much better. Feels better ergonomically, I love the rubber grips that wrap around the handles. The triggers also have a texture to them which is nice. My favorite feature is the internal rechargeable battery - lasts 40 hours on one charge...phenomenal! It’s certainly spendy, but worth it in my opinion. It will also work with next gen consoles

Its the best controller ive ever had, however the price is very steep. Ive had some really amazing controllers just below this one in my rankings, and the prices were very different. I wish it were just a bit Cheaper.
