Customer Ratings & Reviews

Wanted to upgrade from my original V1 I had and glad I did. Looks clean and is great for gaming. Wish it came with the case though.

Elevate your gaming with the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 - Core. Exceptional performance, customizable button mapping, and up to 40 hours of battery life redefine your gaming experience. The sleek white design, D-pad, thumbsticks, and thumbstick-adjustment tool complete this elite package.

I had to replace my previous controller because of wear. It’s nice that the core is available so I don’t have to buy everything else that comes with it since I already own them. The controller itself is my favorite, most customizable in my opinion.

I love Xbox series 2 elite controllers. They are smart, ergonomic, built rock solid, smooth and sleek. If there are any controllers better I dont look for them.

Makes using this functional and easy. Need to read directions for this. Not just pick up and go

Well designed fully customizable and feels great to use. There is a small adjustment period getting used to the paddles but they’re wonderful!

I wanted a more premium controller and I got it. The adjustable parts, rechargeable battery, and USB-C really make this worth the extra money.

I've gotten many different types of controller brands. Gotta say that this was on my #1 spot on my list immediately. Just needs a little more customization when it comes to button binding.

Built in battery, comes with charging case, multiple replacement sticks and adjustable tension on the sticks. Controller has a good weight to it and feels solid

This is my 5th Elite controller. They're very good for competitive players, but can easily use them for casual laid back gaming. Has plenty of customizations and sure is pretty to look at. I would recommend getting the Geeksquad Protection though, as the controllers tend to drift after a year of use.

Love the custimization options but the official microsoft app that goes along with it needs a little work. Also my left thumb stick constantly unscrews itself for some reason. Other thing is i have maybe slightly above average hand size but certainly not huge. Yet when you get some paddles and install those they constantly get in the way of your grip. Even without them the controller feels small. I will need to buy a grip sleeve or something. Other than those 3 things i dont have any problems with the controller itself. I would say overall 2 of my complaints like the app and grips are just personal issues that might be because of my own preference. The 3rd which is the left thumb stick unscrewint itself and feeling like it gets stuck sometimes i would say is manufacturer error or something.

Awesome item. My son loved this item for Christmas. He has used it non-stop since he opened it.

Overall the controller isn’t bad and I enjoy the ability to create multiple controller presets for different games but after a few months of use it acquired stick drift in both joysticks.

They're the best my son says he is still using it today which is odd for him to make it a last over a year tells m

From a 3rd party controller to this it’s an absolute game changer. It’s slightly heavier than a standard 1st party Xbox controller but well worth it for what you get inside. The custom light mod on the Xbox accessories app is so cool to use I rock a red color and it really makes it pop with the black controller. Plus the sensitivity on the triggers is such a cool advantage in FPS games. I highly recommend this controller to any serious gamer especially if your on PC and to pair it I use an 8Bitdo adapter which is also available through Best Buy which is a much better connection than standard Bluetooth through your PC.

I need it a controller for a gift to my nephew and he loves it i try it my self and controller is fantastic

*Will update this review at 6 months First impression is that nothing else compares. This is my first elite controller and after holding the original xbox controller, the difference is felt right away. I dont own an xbox, so i use this while playing on PC. With that being said, the ability to remap pretty much any button to any function you would normally use on keyboard on to the controller, is phenomenal from a quality of life perspective. Construction is sturdy, and the textured rubber grips that wrap around where you hold gives a next level of comfort. Being able to adjust the tension and force needed to move the joystick is a great feature. The soft-touch face is nice, but i can see this becoming a fingerprint magnet. Buttons are nice and tactile, and all the changeable parts are magnetic so you wont have to worry about snapping anything. A huge plus is the carrying case which doubles as a charging station via usb-c, and a holder for other accessories (the charging dock inside can also be used independently from the case). A few cons, though its a bit nit-picky are the length of the paddles. This isnt too big of a deal, but i had to readjust my grip and how i hold the controller to press the paddles on the back without my fingers interfering one another (i have medium-large hands). A USB dongle to connect the controller to pc is not included and would have to be ordered separately, which can be a con to some. The longevity of this controller is yet to be seen from personal experience, as i have read reviews of this controller being DOA, buttons not working after a few months, or the terrible stick drift. Honestly, i don't see myself buying another controller after this as this is truly the ultimate device for handheld/controller gaming. Is it worth the upgrade from an original controller? For my application, yes! Should you buy it? Depends on what you're looking to do with it.

Excellent controller with great options for elite gamers. Love the grip in handles.

I love this controller. Great fit for my hands. I bought this to replace an older Elite (4 years old) that was having some issues. I signed up for Best Buy Total before I bought this one.

Best deals easy to access pick up went smooth in and out and satisfied
