Customer Ratings & Reviews

Best Xbox Controller. These are made sturdy compared to the plastic ones that come with the Xbox. The customizations with the back panels and you can even change the color of the center X.

I recently upgraded to the Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller, and I have to say, it’s an absolute game-changer! The build quality is exceptional, and you can instantly feel the difference compared to a standard controller. The customizable paddles and thumbsticks are a huge plus, allowing me to tailor the controller to my playstyle. The interchangeable D-pads and adjustable tension on the thumbsticks provide a level of precision I didn’t even realize I was missing.

Great customer support and great product. I would recommend.

Son loves this controller. He says its better than a standard one and is customizable.

Absolutely love the elite series 2 controller with a long battery life as well as adjustable triggers interchangeable D-Pad you can’t go wrong here this thing is built to last so happy with my purchase

I've really been enjoying this controller. The rechargeable battery was something I'm glad this came with. I like the old 360 thumb sticks which this comes with an assortment of different ones. The D-pad pictured in the advertisement is nice for fighting games but you can switch that out too. The only real issue I've had is with the paddles on the bottom. You'll need to train your muscle memory to accept them. Overall, they are the better way to play. Do yourself a favor and disable the x y a b buttons in the menus on the XBox/PC. The controller is heavy compared to the standard ones. It's solid and the grip is awesome. You'll need to relinquish that death grip most people play with in order to get accustomed to the paddles. Another thing is that the paddles are great for reassigning buttons like the Thumbstick - To - Run assignment most Call of Duty games have. Sea of Thieves does this. Again it's relearning how to walk, run, and jump. When you finally get it, your K/D ratio will increase dramatically, ie you are no longer taking your thumbs off the movement sticks to hit buttons. Some of the more advanced features are not explained like cording several buttons together for special commands.

This controller is definitely for those heavy gamers out there because of the amount of customization you are able to do with it! I was actually a little overwhelmed at first cause I've never had this many options, but holy heck, it's insane! This one is especially excellent for FPS and MMORPG games in my opinion

While there may be some questions about the price of this item, there are a few things that warrant consideration. One of the main reasons I chose this item (along with the obvious controller itself) is because I wanted a case for my controller as well. The controller itself is an improvement over the regular Xbox model, with the addition of the back paddles, but also has a built in rechargeable battery and 2 additional pairs of thumbstick options to swap out. Add all those accessories up and the price may still be a bit on the high side, but I find it worth it. Bottom line, it won't make you a better gamer, but it DID improve MY game with the longer right thumb stick and easier back paddles for some games, and I like that I can leave this in the case and plug the charging cable directly in without unzipping it. I am more than happy with this.

Easily the best controller for more competitive gamers. I purchased the Scuf before this, and was quite disappointed after the left joystick started sticking (not drift, just stuck in the down position) within 3 months of purchase. It was also a bit of a pain (and limited) to program the pads. Then I purchased the Elite S2, and what a difference it made. The magnetic, interchangeable joysticks are a breeze to swap (have to take the whole faceplate off the Scuf). The rear pads are programmable through the Xbox UI, offer more combinations to progrsm, and can save up to three independent configurations for different games or styles (a button on the controller lets you flip between the three without having to go through the UI). And the trigger adjustments are quick and easy to adjust on the fly. My only issue with this controller is stick drift, hence the markdown. While it did hold up well for 10-11 months, I had to send it in to Microsoft for a replacement at the 11th month (Best Buy didn't have any at the time). I did get a replacement after a little over a week, but it was equally bad, if not worse within two weeks. Fortunately, Best Buy had a resupply and I was able to get a new one. A near $200 controller should not fail like that in less than a year. I get that nothing lasts forever, but the gimbles should be better quality for a premium controller. That said, the S2 is worth the purchase if you are into more competitive gaming, however, buy the extended warranty. Will definitely be worth it in the long run.

Awesome controller. I love the sturdy feel and being able to customize a ton about it. Especially the tension on the sticks.

This has been my favorite controller to use ever. It’s such a game changer being able to swap thumb sticks. The controller itself has cool features like paddles and the metal feels nice to touch as well as the rubber grips sitting nicely in my hands. It feels reassuring to also have a case with my controller that also has compartments to hold my separate parts. I’ve had the controller for ~2 years and the only problem that has occurred is a tiny piece of the rubber is peeling off next to the right bumper but that could easily be glued back if I cared to do so. I would say the price point is definitely too high. In the end it’s just a controller after all

Takes a while to get used to if you’ve never had one but the customization is endless.

The quality of the gamepad is unbeatable. So unbeatable that I’ve opted to replace 3 different ones now (buying the insurance each time) because the button receivers on these eventually go bad. My first one lasted me around 8 months before the RB receiver went bad and started failing intermittently. Second one lasted me about 8 months before a faulty LB receiver went bad and it had to be replaced. My third one lasted around 6 months before the left stick button’s receiver went bad and had to be replaced. Overall - awesome controller and I refuse to use any other game pad… just make sure you buy the insurance. Hopefully a series 3 will bring receivers that last the long haul a bit better.

Best controller out there. Able to fine toon it to your needs

I used my Elite Series 1 for years and wore it out, even changed it's housing/buttons over time, still works to this day. Loved every minute of it, and the successor is an even more reliable move forward. I love the case/charger combo, makes putting down my controller and always having battery so much better. Less to think about. Super responsive controls and the customizabilty is extremmely flexible

Battery life is amazing with lightning fast response. Fits perfect in hand with quality feeling material. Game changer!

Good controller! I only got it for R6 I used it for a min and it was good, but then I found another controller but overall I don’t regret buying it.

This is a great controller. Internal battery is nice. A single charge lasts a long time, the responsiveness is outstanding. I love the hair trigger option and the 3 different paddle setups for different play styles. Its so versatile and easy to switch between console, to pc, and even to my phone during trips. Comes with extra parts too. Definitely a good purchase

Great better then PS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The controller works perfect and I’ve had no problems out of it!
