Customer Ratings & Reviews

My kid loves this controller and likes the extra buttons and accessories.

Purchased via "Open Box Excellent". Very pleased with the controller, and definitely a step up from the regular xbox controller that came with the Series X. the grip and feel of this controller is good, but not on the same level as the PS5 Dualsense IMO but still nice nonetheless The weight is fantastic, although definitely heavier than a normal xbox controller. The thumbsticks take a little getting used to, but once you adjust the tension to your preference they are great. Would also recommend replacing the paddles with SCUF paddles for additional comfort and easier access/playability

best controller ever. never have to worry about replacing batteries in the middle of an intense game.

Not quite the revolution in controller design you're hoping for. But you can assign Keyboard keys to the buttons too, for those games that allow M+K and Controller play at the same time. I don't regret my purchase yet. Being able to reload or use a melee with the back buttons, in certain games is pretty awesome.

A lil pricey but worth it. I got what I look for. I'm a happy dude.

Replaced multiple of these controllers that all exhibited some level of stick drift brand new from the factory. Microsoft elite controllers are known to have looser manufacturing tolerances versus their standard controllers. You can find many examples online of people saying their controller exhibited the same behavior. If the stick drift doesn’t bother you, it is otherwise a great controller.

I love the controller my only complaint is the fact that the grip rubber comes off over time. A 200 dollar controller shouldn’t have that issue. It’s not just one it is a repeat issue on everyone I know who owns them.

Its a very good controller, i like the trigger function and the interchangeable thumb sticks and d-pad. even the pack pedals are amazing and helps me play better without having to move my fingers. i would recommend but take care of it because the switch cover on the back broke off but it still works fine. Also its easy to lose pieces as they can fall off pretty easily.

This is by far the best controller I’ve ever owned.(yes including the PS5 dual sense) Only reason I didn’t give a 5 star rating is I’ve had multiple elite series controllers in the past, and there are always issues that eventually occur. Shouldn’t happen so frequently with hardware that costs this much, but it always seems to unfortunately. That being said, I absolutely love gaming with the elite series 2. It’s extremely useful, and now that I’m accustomed to it, I can’t go back to a standard Xbox controller.

When I bought this controller, I wasn’t sure if it was really all it was cracked up to be especially since I’m so used to the standard Xbox one controllers but let me tell you, I will never use any other controller, it feels great in the hands, the build construction is perfect and the battery life is even better, not to mention but the case and the extras are pretty sweet!

Theres alot of negative stigma around this controller. But out of the box, absolutely no issues. Its the Cadillac of controllers. Its feels great, the sticks snap right back to the middle and best of all no stick drift. I definitely recommend the geek squad coverage because if something does go wrong in the next two tears, they can replace it with a new one. No regrats. And use the case to keep it clean, that the biggest maker of stick drift.

After months and months of hearing about it from my friend I finally gave it a try and I must say this it is really really great controller. I play a lot with this now on my PC. The build quality is truly top notch.

The greatest controller i've ever used, but it's not very durable. I've replaced it twice now, first because the right bumper failed, then because the grip started to become unglued after many hours of use and changed the shape of the controller. If you're going to buy this get the protection and replace it when, not if, it fails.

I bought this controller wanting to use the paddles in the back, but the controller offers way more. The durability of this controller compared to the regular ones is a good enough reason to buy this! It feels sturdy and nice while playing and you also have the ability to alter your button mapping. This can also be used with other systems, not just the Xbox.

When you pick up this controller quality is the first thing you feel. You know this is what you paid for. The heaviness, the quality, the perfect textured grip shows the Xbox took this controller to the next level. Even better than the first generation of this controller. Then to top it off, you can add custom button mapping to Each button even change the color of the Xbox logo. Everything from customization to mapping is just a nice touch.

Compared to the original Elite controller this one is by far an amazing upgrade. Having the ability to adjust the tension on the thumbsticks is great for dialing in the accuracy for FPS games, the extra middle trigger stop is awesome if you're not wanting to go all the way to the short stop for other games as well, and the adjusted paddles on the back are much better without having to worry about accidentally hitting them while playing. The built in rechargeable battery is a step above the play and charge kit battery. I have definitely noticed a significant increase in play time before needing to charge it. If you're on the fence whether to keep your original Elite over this one then you're missing out. The Elite 2 is definitely worth the money for the upgrade.

This is my second Elite S2 the first lasted about a year and the left stick was broken all the way up couldn't bring it back down. The A button would get stuck down and the LB RB would stick. Keep in mind im retired and I game constantly, well over 90hrs a week, so I'm pretty abusive to my controllers. I would guess about 2-3 years for a normal usage gamer. I love the controller and im going to keep buying them as they break until they have a new model. Its conformable customizable and lasts way longer than your standard edition. Sure its expensive but I think the price is worth it. (Get the warranty)

Realibility yet to be seen we will see in a ywar how it is

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

Best controller for xbox. Better than the default controller by far
