Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a very good controller. It took my gaming to a new level. It has a switch on the underside that shortens or lengthens the pull of the triggers. A really great feature. You also have the option to change thumbsticks that come with varying lengths and shapes. And it’s done magnetically. It also has 4 paddles underneath the controller that can be mapped for different functions...I found this too advanced for me. And perhaps the best feature feature is the way it feels in your hands, it’s much more comfortable than the one that comes with the Xbox.

I had the first Elite controller and it had a lot of quality issues. The rubber grips would peel up after a few months and on one the sticks became very loose to the point where if you turned the control upside down they would move out a quarter of an inch. Luckily I had Geek Squad protection so when these issues came up I was able to get a replacement. So far with the Series 2 I have had none of these issues. I have put several hundred outs on this controller and it is still as solid as the day I bought it. The built in battery is nice too and lasts a very long time between charges.

I’ve got about a month usage out of this thing so I think I finally can give an honest review. Let me start by saying this is the best controller I’ve ever had. I mainly play first person shooters so not having to take my thumbs off the sticks has helped me out a ton. The ability to map different profiles for different games and change them on the fly is awesome. If your skeptical about purchasing so was I but now I have no regrets! The level of customization from the trigger stops, to joystick selection, the ability to change the tension on the sticks is unmatched and you will find the perfect setup that works for you!

its good controller but for the price you dont have peace of mind to wheather its a durable performance

Amazing controller! Although it kind of has to be with the price. Everything about the controller is worth it. The controller feels premium through and through, from the grip to the buttons and triggers. It's very customizable with the button mapping and the hardware. Easily the most comfortable controller. The only issue is that the weight might take some getting used to. I've also heard that some users experienced sticky buttons but haven't come across any problems! Worth the money if you can spend it.

Impressed with how much of a upgrade the elite 2 is compared to the elite 1, it brought a smile to my face and was not regretting my purchase as soon as I held the elite 2 in my hands! The improved choices of analog sticks makes the controller feel like it was made for you. Having 3 configuration for the back paddle mapping compared to the 2 on the elite1 is the prefect amount, with also having a default setting making it seem like 4 button mapping layouts. Would recommend to anyone especially the to the elite gamers who want the most out of their gaming experience!

Look, bottom line, if you're serious about gaming, you need the Microsoft Elite Series 2 in your life. It's like upgrading your gaming experience from regular to legendary. Comfort? Check. Style? Double-check. Customization? Triple-check. This controller is the real deal, my fellow gamers. Don't miss out – it's a game-changer in every sense.

I really really like the series 2 in every way but this is my 2nd one. Hopefully it doesn't have stick drift like the last one. My series one went through 5 of the first series with same issue. I dont drop or throw controllers. I use them and set them on the charger. At $180 i take care of them! They are the best controllers out there. (When they work). Get the extended warranty. Its totally worth it.

At first I thought the 200+ price point was outrageous but actually using the controller I can see why it was necessary. The controller is great, at first the diamond textured grips felt wierd but i got used to it. I have been using this non stop and the best part is I barely have to charge it. I played games for an entire week on one battery charge which to me is pretty outstanding. And the adjustable control sticks just make it all come together. Whatever game I choose to play the sticks are able to support the comfort and usefulness that i look for. I highly recommend this as a pick up.

Honestly other than the stick drift that happens to all controllers eventually this is the best xbox controller. I would recommend you get the warranty with any new controller. I would have given it five stars but that stick drift is a nuisance.

High end controller with positive feedback. Top tier quality for sure with customizable settings and adjustable triggers and joystick

By for the best controller for the XBOX Series X & S. I have multiple controllers from hi-end to cheap and I've found the elites customizable options for me are better. Also has great battery life around 35 hrs of hard core gaming. It's more expensive then most, but cheaper and better in my opinion, than more expensive cintrollers with the same features.

This is a great remote for the Xbox. Having the buttons on the back is nice and not having to hit the top buttons when in the middle of a battle.

Unfortunately it had to be returned because one of the thumb sticks would stick in whichever direction it was pushed. But I'm sure overall they are fine. I simply got a replacement and have not had any problems with the 2nd elite controller since.

Overall this isis a solid product. The only problem I really have with it is the paddles are sort of it an awkward position. My hands start to cramp up because of it; so I find myself not even using them most of the time. The overall aesthetic of it is a nice touch.

Best Xbox controller I have ever used. It fits in my hand perfectly. Conferable after a long play session and the programmable keys are a must now

Love it easy to replace parts. Nice gripping nice to play with

I love it’s its really good and I Would buy it again

Great Product. Don’t have to continually buy a new controller because of the analogs. All pieces of controller can be switched out. Definitely worth the money

This should have been a day 1 purchase, even before any games had been installed on the Xbox series x. It feels infinitely better than the lame controller that comes packaged with the console.
