Customer Ratings & Reviews

Phenomenal controller. It is heavier than the standard controller so it has a nice feel in your hands while gaming. And the battery life is outstanding

Add the paddles and once you get used to them you are gaming on another level!! Build quality is excellent and the charging dock is a nice touch. It’s a must.

Yes, this is a great controller, but it still has insidious defects. Purchased in July of 2020, and now 5 months in, the left joystick drifts constantly. After further research I discovered that Microsoft has begun manufacturing a “improved” version of the same controller (model FST-00008) versus the FST-00001 version. The model I received is the latter. Most people who have purchased this seem to be experiencing the same issues. I have the Best Buy protection plan, and intend on replacing this controller when Best Buy gets it back into stock, and am hoping for the newer version.

Bday gift for college student - he loves it! College is hard, gaming helps a great student check out for a while. This controller just makes it more fun.

I have to say I wish I bought it sooner and I like it better than PS5 controller.

I understood why people love this control the instant I put it in my hand. It feels premium. After playing with it for two weeks, it began to feel natural; my hand was adapting to the new trigger buttons. Unfortunately, the right trigger began to give-way and the spring was making a squeaking sound. The standard face buttons also didn’t register every time I press them. I returned it. Thankfully it was within the return period. I now also understand the issues of this controller. The manufacturing for these controllers isn’t consistent. I purchased a new controller that arrived today and i hi opefully I can leave a better review in the coming weeks and months.

The Elite Series 2 controller is an excellent alternative to the much more expensive Scuf Instinct controller. The only negative about this controller is the amount of stick drift you can get.

Is it expensive, yes. But once you start using one then there is no going back. Love it!!!!!

Haven’t had it for long but works great. If you want a scuff type controller that works perfect and is programmable on the Xbox through the settings page. Highly recommended. But definitely get the geek squad warranty as other people have said it can break and Microsoft doesn’t corporate well with the 1 year warranty it comes with through them.

Very nice hand feel, reserve side buttons a nice touch. Feels good in hand even after a couple hours of sweaty palms. Comes with extras like a charger, but not really needed.

Pricy, but worth it if you spend a significant amount of time on the console. Sized and weighted perfectly 9may be small for those with large hands, though)! Paddle controls can take some getting used to and will occasionally cause issues with unintended hits on a given paddle. Swappable user controls and configurability are outstanding!

I want to love this controller but can’t. I had to sell it. I had issues with 2 controllers so far. Never had any issues with gen 1. Gen 2 issues: - Random disconnects - Double press on buttons I would still recommend it since it’s a great upgrade form the original controller

What an amazing controller! It is fully customizable and you can switch and put the buttons that attach magnetically in any way you like. The triggers have grip as well and the remote is built with high quality materials. It is a bit heavier than other controls but its worth the money

Product works good for gaming, the bluetooth is a bit iffy at times though

Extremely happy with this controller, gave 4 stars instead of 5 simply because of how different the paddles were from the first elite controller. It took some time to get used to after using the original elite controller for years. Definitely worth the upgrade to the series 2.

love the controller had the original elite. The improvements are very welcome. Have the add ones like bluetooth, adjustable analog tension ,.rechargeable battery , amd the paddles feeling better then the original. The only issue I have with the controller is the price tag.

Not without its faults, this controller is the ultimate package compared to anything else out there. It will take your shooter game and kick it up several notches. Mine had a sticky “A” button, but after 1,000 presses or so, it was normal. These controllers are known to have suspect life spans, so I’d recommend the warranty.

Came in excellent condition. Not a single blemish and the controller itself performs amazingly. Got some heft and you really appreciate the fine tuning freedom.

not to bad but you cant overclock it on pc, it has software you can use to tweak some settings easy to reach paddles good for games like apex legends

The extra buttons is really helpful and it is very comfortable to use.
