Customer Ratings & Reviews

Got an open box - I had to return it via the Microsoft warranty 3 months later but for the price (120$) it was worth it since they sent me a brand new one right after.

Hands down the best controller to use for PC gaming or on a Xbox console. 40 hours of battery life on a single charge, plus seamless integration with windows computers makes it very simple to set up and start using. The controller buttons/layout are always recognized without needing 3rd party software and the ability to purchase a small USB wireless adapter makes it all the more seamless. It does everything all the fancy 3rd party controllers does, at a better price.

Feels good in my hand when playing video games. I like the extra functionality that the paddles add. It feels a little heavy, but not enough to bother long play sessions.

Awesome controller, very customizable. Great feel to it too.

I have a pc and a ps5. The reason why that is important is because the ps5 controller dies really fast and has rough support on pc BUT the elite 2 controller has a really long battery life, so much so that i forget it needs to charge. It also interfaces seamlessly with my computer and has plenty of customability with profules for whatever game i am playing at the time

Absolutely amazing controller, i made the switch from a regular xbox controller to this one and i an not disappointed. The quality is so nice and love that it's so customizable. Does take some getting used to the petals on the back but once you do, game changer! Force yourself to play with the petals and youll grt used to them in no time.

the customization and feel of this controller is fantastic. I have the first one and the changes with this one is par with what you would expect. Ive always been terrible with controllers and wanted to try the elite and have not been disappointed at all. The elite 2 is smaller but heavier than the first I prefer the size of the original but I weight of the second one is better in my opinion. I like the fact that you can change how stiff the sticks are and the paddles underneath are also stiff which is great. In the original if you set it down just right the paddles would press and with this second elite you have more freedom of where to place your controller. I set it down on the arm of my chair. One last thing is I'm glad that they finally included the battery.

As far as the use of this controller after 5 years of using the elite controllers I can't even go back to using a regular controller. I love this controller. On the other hand I've replaced my controller 3 times due to the left or right bumper not working after a period of time. My advice make sure to pay for the best buy coverage and replace it as needed.

I had the first elite controller and this is a far superior product. The textures, plastics and finishes are just better. The buttons are clickier. The additional tension features on the sticks are amazing. Just buy it with a warranty.

I game primarily on my pc, but I also primarily use a controller. I know, blasphemous. But for me using a controller is the most comfortable gaming experience. This is the king of controllers. Peak controller. No comparison. It's plug in (or wirelessly connect) and play. 99% of games support it. There really hasn't been a single flaw that I've run into. It feels fantastic and the build quality is something you'd expect a $180 controller to have. Obviously if you have $180 to spend on a controller, there really isn't too much competition, and rightfully so, as this thing has reached peak controller. I recommend it, but really only if you want the best of what controllers have to offer, and can afford it.

My first controller had button issues within the first month. This one has yet to fail me, *knocks on wood* It’s made competitive gaming so much better

I’m on my third elite controller… but the durability is waaaay beyond the scuf. If you’re looking for paddles and button mapping, don’t go anywhere else. Only gets 4 stars because I have had to replace two one for stick drift and one because the X A and RB all started to fail.

This is my second Xbox Elite Wireless Series 2 - the first was returned for a "sticky" A button (intermittently did not work unless you pressed hard. I returned that, and some time later purchased a new one when they were on sale - the A button is about 95% ok and I'm good with that. I'd recommend the Geek Squad replacement coverage if you're going to invest this much in the controller, as there are plenty of online reviews that state there is some level of poor quality control. Aside from that, it truly is the perfect controller with the customizability, paddles, and (generally) solid construction. Sound purchase for the price.

Got it for half price as open box, it had a problem on the right trigger not getting all the clicks, a 2 min YouTube video and WD40 made the fix, it's working perfectly since the, great deal, fantastic quality. My favorite part is the extra 4 buttons on the back that I can configure the way I want, the triggers travel is also great, it does worth the extra price

This Elite Controller Series 2 is an exceptional device that offers a wide range of customizable features. It is the sole controller I utilize for gaming on the Xbox Series X.

Like the heavier remote. Wish you could map out the extra buttons for more potential controls like mapping a PC keyboard. Previous owner clearly was hard on their equipment on even refurbished value was 3/5, maybe.

After finally acquiring a Series X, I was content to use the standard Xbox wireless controllers. I even invested in a PowerA Fusion controller that was on clearance for less than $50. But when this came available for $139 during the 15 days of Gaming promotion I felt compelled to give it a try. I can't recall a better deal being made. Even at full MSRP it is a great value. The design, the weight and feel. The quality of materials used plus the functionality and countless configurations are unmatched. Why buy anything but the best? I think it is a highly durable product that will give you the greatest satisfaction. I have zero regrets.

The price is decent with this controller but when you look at other competitor controllers with paddles like Scuf which go for (200+) the price is fair. Its a huge improvement from the first elite controller. Better thumb stick options now with higher tension and Xbox 360 size thumb sticks. Battery life on this controller is amazing I can play for days without charging. Paddles on the back take more force to engage which feels a lot better while using. Only downside and this is nitpicking is that the tension needs to be a little higher on the 3rd setting to replicate the perfect 360 controller. Also the 360 thumb sticks don't have enough grip. But I highly recommend also buy the 2 year warranty. So that if you receive wear and tear or any other issues you can replace it.

This controller, albeit really expensive is SOOOO nice. I had the original elite controller and it held up ok in retrospect, had it for a few years but the rubber grips on the side were starting to peel. With this version it looks like Microsoft learned from their mistakes and made a 2 piece handle that can be easily replaced. The controller feels lighters and I love the rechargeable battery the tactile feel of the grip handles. Honestly I could go on and on about this controller, but if you're considering buying it its because you game alot and you want the best. This controller is hands down the best and I wouldn't hesitate to buy it.

Love the paddles the design and honestly most of it. Where my issue comes in is the reliability/ construction materials. I’ve bought the warranty every time now as I’m on my 5th controller in 3 years. Always get the warranty always this will break especially the thumb sticks drift paddles lose functionality and the lb rb after a while of using while break. I play a ton Of 1st person and moba so my ability’s are mapped and set up which I love and you can have multiple loadouts for sodden games which is always a plus.
