Customer Ratings & Reviews

One of the best controllers I’ve ever owned for my Xbox Since 2019. The extra buttons and paddles made my gaming experience so much easier and enjoyable, especially with mechanics being a lot more complex than it was a decade ago. Addition with different profiles, I’m able to switch depending on the game I was playing whether it was Fortnite, call of duty or rocket league this controller did it all. For the price, I say it’s worth it with the functionality that it brings compared to the standard Xbox controller.

This controller works as it should. Stays charged for hours of continuous play!

The 1st elite controller was 1 that I absolutely adored. Until about 6 months of ownership and the right stick started to drift to the point of un-playable. When the new 1 was announced, I thought I would give it a shot. It arrived on release day and worked great for the 1st couple of hours. Then I noticed that the A started to stick or just not register. This is apparently a known issue and MS support is supposed to take care of it. Time will tell... Aside from this, if you were a fan of the 1st, this should be an upgrade. The rubber grip fully wraps and is something really special. The 3rd trigger adjustment is actually really cool for fine tuning. For example, on the left trigger I have it 1 click for a slightly shorter stop. On the right, I have it maxed out for the shortest possible pull. On call of duty, I am able to fire a pistol or marksman rifle faster as the trigger resets faster. The sticks are still a highlight with adjustable tension, and different sticks let you adjust the length for speed or accuracy. The D-pad is still probably the best on any controller. It's accurate and can be swapped from the disk to a traditional 4 way in a matter of seconds. Lastly, the charging. USB C is the way of the future and its in there. The carrying case also allows for charging. Great controller, but the QC issues really bring it down.

Battery life is great. Responsive and latency are great and controller is comfortable. After some use there was some wander but it’s very minimal compared to other controllers. Pricey but worth it.

The controller fits well and is ready to be either plug and play or wired with an included cable which is USB to USB-C, the cable has plenty of reach being about 6 feet long, and the controller itself is easy to program and use. My only gripe is that I didn't pay enough attention in the beginning and see that the paddles you can put on the controller were separate.

The Microsoft Elite Series 2 Controller delivers premium quality, exceptional customization, and ergonomic comfort. Perfect for casual and competitive gamers, it enhances precision and adapts seamlessly to any play style. A true game-changer!

Bought this to replace an older elite controller that was drifting. Unfortunately that is the life of the elite controllers, sooner or later they will start to drift. But I love them, no other better controller for me.

Okay first things first, this controller is great. I’ve used SCUF in the past, and they always seemed to have a defect pretty early on in their life cycle.. Dealing with their customer service was always a hassle. These controllers typically last me a couple years, the main thing that seems to go out on them periodically is the Right and Left bumpers for whatever reason.. They still work technically, but seem to double click after awhile. Only game it’s really an issue in is Fortnite when switching weapons.. Otherwise I love the grip and the battery has a pretty decent longevity between charges. Definitely recommend picking up the 2 years GSP with this one. Your future self will thank you!

Purchased to use with my pc for cod and other games. For me it was nice but a rough adjustment from ps5 controller. If you’re used to Xbox or never used controller then I’d think it’d be fine but after being away from Xbox for so many years and having adjusted to ps5 then coming back to Xbox it was a bit much. I love how light it is compared to the ps5 version of pro controller.

Recently bought this controller due to my scuf having stick drift the amount of customization you can do with this controller is insane and it feels really good in hand with the textured handles and also comes with trigger stops , back buttons that you can make any button and other joysticks overall 9/10 if it didn’t get stick drift it would be a 10 definitely worth the money

Perfect controller, i like the weight of it, doesn't feel cheap!!! Also perfect if you want to upgrade or replace a older elite controller, just transfer your part from one to the other!!

This is the best and worst controller xbox puts out. It feels amazing in your hand and the charging feature is awesome. All the different buttons on the back are great. Only issue is i had to return 2 of these before i found one that the triggers didn't feel sticky right out the box. I watched some YouTube videos on the issue and i fixed the 3rd one by putting an alcohol pad in the back of the trigger with a skinny piece of metal. Apparently there's glue or something that is always back there. After several week my right thumb stick drifts. Other than the stupid issues it's still way better than the ones the xbox comes with.

The best controller out there for X Box Series X & S consoles! Tons of customization for the controller. The added details and buttons make it comfortable for hours of gaming. The grip is superb, the interchangeable buttons are amazing. Never going back to the controllers that come with the console. Liked it so much I bought 2 for my setup (bedroom & living room Series X consoles). Also, I like the case and charging station that the Elite has, the ‘Core’ model doesn’t come with it.

Very nice controller, the paddles underneath take getting used to and I really like the extra weight. This is better than the Elite series 1 controller. A little pricy.

I grew up a PS fanboy, but I have to give credit where it is due. This controller from xbox is unmatched in battery life (about 10 times its Playstation counterpart), there are more paddles, support for magnetic charging through the case, they are hugely customizable. Finally, they are heavily supported, which is also more than i can say for the ps counterpart. They dont even support their own controller on their own pc app.

Good: Excellent controller, takes everything you like about a regular Xbox controller and makes it better. Adds bottom ABXY paddles so you can keep your right thumb of the joystick. USB-C charging and good battery life. Swappable sticks, nice case. Adjustable trigger length is awesome- I use it on the shortest setting for everything but racing games Meh: price is high- $120 seems more reasonable. Warranty was initially 90 days, Microsoft has bumped that to 1 year due to “mechanical failures” Bad: left stick has failed after 10 months of light and gentle use. An additional 2-3 year warranty feels like a requirement at this price point

Love the feel, response and weight. Super comfortable and awesome customization. Highly recommend.
