Customer Ratings & Reviews

It is an elite 2 without all the extras. Great for replacing broken elite 2. Im not a big warranty person but i highly recommend getting the warranty. Saves you about $70 (if you buy the warranty again after turning in broken controller) and saves you the headache and stress of getting a new controller. If you start getting stick drift, button stop working, controller stops charging, battery stops holding a charge, etc, take it to bestbuy, redeem the warranty, they give you the new controller, buy the warranty on it for $50, and you are back to gaming. (Warranty is 2 years, its a new controller)

Incredible customizability/remapability. Must get the paddles

First time having a pro controller for my PS5 and I’d definitely recommend if you don’t already have one. This controller is awesome and a bad mother f’er. Awesome grips for long periods of playing time on the PS5 and etc.

Scooped this on a December sale, bought the paddles from elsewhere for $14. I've since retired my razer wolverine in favor of this. I was skeptical, but this is a really nice controller. Wirelessly connected to PC via Bluetooth, and it runs for hours in between charges.

Great controller, poor quality control, but no controller I've ever used feels as good as this one

Love elite controllers they are expensive especially since I keep having drift stick issues with them

It's the base elite so no back paddles included, if you've used one you already know it's one of the best. The rest comes to personal preferences, I however choose this until I find something better.

Great controller! Feels solid does everything it should. Best Buy made it easy to purchase also

Great controller! I like the customization of the button layout and joystick movement options. make for the best gaming experience. Good placement for paddle buttons with XL hands doesn’t feel awkward. Great Buy

Works great!! Been using for 3 three with no problems or stick drift

Amazing controller loaded with customizable button options.

Excellent wireless controller. The charge last plenty of time

This controller is so much better, than the one it replaced!! My old controller keep having issues with buttons and controller sticks sticking! I very satisfied with the performance of this controller!! It was a great purchase!!

Good ! Sturdy.... last way longer than a regular one would

Very much worth the extra money to upgrade from a standard controller. It feels better, works better, and lasts longer. No signs stick drift in the first year. That alone is worth some money. But the feeling of the upgraded parts, especially the metal thumbsticks (instead of plastic), makes playing more enjoyable.

The xbox elite controller is a solid upgrade and is well worth the investment compared to the standard xbox controller

A bit on the pricey side when it comes to controllers but has a premium feel and the extra back bumpers that can be remapped.

The item itself is overall great! This is the second one i had gotten because of how i love the addition features on it. The controller lasted me over a year without any accommodations needed to be made as a consistent player

Ive had the original Elite v1 since it came out. Ive owned multiple XBox's of every generation and have a dozen controllers in my house. I much prefer the Elite controller over all other standard controllers. It just feels better. Ive not owned other brands except a Razer from back in the day but I also prefer the standard Xbox layout/size. Several years and several thousands of hours later, the rubber grip panels on my original elite popped off. The glue failed. I found replacements for cheap and I continue to use it. Its not 100% the same but its close enough. I game on Xbox and PC and got tired of using a non-elite controller on one or the other depending on the game I was playing (I re-pair often). Enter the Elite 2. So, the 2 has bluetooth whereas the original 1 did not. I have the wireless dongle so thats not a feature for me but, it would allow you to use 1 controller for both PC and XBox. Ive owned several BT Xbox controllers and prefer to use the wireless dongle on PC. An improvement over the 1 is there is no longer a groove in the plastic under the middle fingers. Seems odd to mention but hours of playing, the 1 would give me irritation on top of both middle fingers where the plastic joins. This is gone on the 2. Plus. Adjustability on the 2 is also improved. You can adjust the tension of the sticks. I have no desire to do so as it feels like the typical XBox controller Ive been using for like 20 years or whatever. There are now 3 levels of adjustment for trigger travel as well. I mentioned earlier about the 1 causing irritation on top of the middle fingers. The new trigger travel adjusters have moved ever so slightly so now, I feel them on the top of my middle finger tips all the time. The adjusters feel a bit larger as well. They are rounded and not painful. No irritation. I just notice them. On the 1, they were smaller, and barely there on the pads of my middle finger tips depending on the game I played. I dont use the back triggers and removed them from both the 1 and the 2 day 1. I cant comment on the difference if any. I dont use them. The 1 had a replaceable battery like a standard controller but required a micro USB cable just like every other Xbox controller since inception. The 2 is not easily replaceable and requires cracking it open. It does come with a dock. I wont use it personally as it has USB C and thats my preference when it needs charged. I dont doubt the battery will last for years but, Id prefer a user replaceable battery over an included dock. My preference. Lastly, the 1 had a more rubberized grippy feel. After a few years, they did fail. The 2 is more plastic feeling. Its hard to describe but the 1 didnt have a texture on the top of the controller whereas the 2 does which is the part that kind of makes it feel less grippy. Both are plasticy and rubbery / grippy but the 2 is just, well, feels less grippy to me. I dont feel like its going to fall out of my hands but its a different feel than the 1. Its like a new gen Series X/S controller kind of in the texture department but with some (10%?) rubberized feel. Its difficult to explain. I dont consider it a Pro or a Con its just, different. All in all, I much prefer the Elite controllers over the standard Xbox controllers. They just feel better in hand to me. I have no experience with Scuf. I dont use the back / underside triggers. Id prefer a replaceable battery over a dock. All that said, the 1 last me a very long time and thats why I bought the 2. No regrets.

An excellent product from Xbox. I went in a little later to search for a new controller and found this one. When I went to checkout, it seemed as though my presence upset one of the employees, due to having one last customer for the night. There was no obvious signs of disrespect, just something I picked up while being there. Anyway, great product, great quality and I'm hoping it'll last for years to come.
