Customer Ratings & Reviews

Controller is amazing for improving gameplay, not only but the paddles are a game changer, using this controller also has perks with the xbox mapping tool to change how games can be played, overall the quality is great and doesnt feel cheap, also the controller is rechargeable with charging dock which is very modern and nice, the battery life is also very good, i can play multiple days for more than 4-5 hours each day before having to charge it

Exellent controller. Rock solid and feels great. Would recommend it for a serious player.

Good controller but the price is outrageous. I'd rather go with the Victrix controller.

I’ve had this controller for 13 months and it’s still going strong… no stick drift and the sticks still click down when pressed. I bought the 2 year replacement warranty and don’t see any need to replace it yet. The previous version of these controllers didn’t last this long, I would need to replace them within a year. I use it almost every day, for hours at a time.

Great controller, but very prone to stick drift as well as rb or r3 going bad in my experience. Get the warranty.

I really love this controller, just beware that if you play a lot of games some of the buttons wear out. So it is best to get the warranty.

I’ve never bought an upgraded controller I loved the Elite 2 and bought 2 of them as well. Love them as you can tweak the controller and its easy 2 do as well so don’t freak out buy it try it love it….

Necessary, but not a good value for money. The stock controller hurts my hands, the elite 2 hurts them less, but still hurts them. Xbox still hasn't designed a controller useable in fighting games, the A button and sometimes RB button don't always trigger. The sticks are gorgeous and the dpad is useable. Good build quality and premium feel, great battery life, great little charger and included case. i don't use the rear paddles. I literally got this because the stock controller is super loud, and it bothers me when I use my Xbox while trying to fall asleep. It's still loud, but significantly less loud. The rumble is too loud still thoe. To avoid hand pain, I use a brook wingman adapter with ps4 dual shock controller. For limited, but regular use as a remote for the xbox console, its good. If the buttons were more responsive (A button especially), and if my hands didn't hurt, it'd be a really good controller. I've had to return 3 or so, because the A + RB buttons not working most of the time. Missed inputs unheard of on Playstation controllers, so it's disappointing even the elite controller has this issue. Otherwise, there's a nice premium feel too it, charger and case are good. The grip could be improved, they kinda skimped there. It looks and feels better than it actually is, if that makes any sense.

I'm blown away by this controller. First time user of an elite controller and I'm not disappointed. All buttons work well and smoothly. I love the trigger adjustments. Although I'm a bit confused when it comes to the paddles and how to set them. Its definitely worth buying.

I have purchased this controller twice since it was released. The accessories that come with the controller are easy to interchange and store when not utilized. I have used the paddles just about every way you can have them, but I only keep two of the paddles connected instead of all four. I would not purchase this product without adding the BestBuy protection plan.

Love this remote!! The back paddles are a must and no battery pack is so great. The battery life is still good even after having this remote for 2 years.

Excellent controller for mid tier gamers who don’t want to spend a insane amount for a high end gaming controller

Pretty good looking controller, like the feel for it and gives people an edge in competitive gaming.

Love the customization options and this controller will elevate your game to keep your thumbs on the sticks. The problem is stick dift will hit within a year and continue to get worse. The bumpers will also mess up and become unresponsive. This happen on my original elite and i went back with a core for cheaper and it was great Nov 2023 until Dec 2025.

I bought this control for my son. He loves it, and it has worked great so far. would definitely buy again.

This controller is just amazing. I was skeptical to order based on cost but I would recommend it with ease after using it. The controller just feels much more premium and solid compared to the Original Elite. The customzations are better, the grips are better, the triggers are a pleasure. Even the Xbox Home button has been upgraded and is sturdy and not "Squishy". Within a few minutes of customizing I noticed an immediate different in my MW abilities. I didnt expect to notice any real difference, but it was there!!! The charging base is also a huge blessing. I was excited to see it was USB-C as it was the biggest thing I hated about the xbox controllers of past (micro USB is terrible), however the dock has made that moot anyway!! Also unlike the cable, putting it on the dock charges it without turning the xbox back on!

My husband's face when he opened this box! What an awesome piece of equipment to up your gaming experience.

Definitely an improvement from the black series 2 ones. They tried to right their wrongs with these white, red and blue ones (America!) . They are built sturdier i feel. And if you had the black one before with the charger base and all the paddles and such, just switch the paddles over to this core controller because it doesn't come with any of that. To me it was a no brainer . Definitely xbox best controller so far. The razer wolverine is nice, but the paddles are in a very awkward spot. This elite series 2 is where it's at, better than the original runs in black.

Awesome love the color, it helps if you already have paddles and thumbsticks that way this is really plug and play since it's a great price.

Great controller very modular used on Xbox for awhile now will use on my PC also love the adjustability and customization for specific games.
