Customer Ratings & Reviews

It's very good, durable, customizable, great connection range, long lasting battery.

This controller has been through hell with the amount of times it has been dropped, but I still have no stick drift and it works amazing. The feel of the controller in your hands is equivalent if not better than a scuff controller. If you are debating between an Elite controller vs a Scuff, definitely buy this because a scuff controller will get stick drift after 2-3 drops, and is very fragile. For reference I have really huge hands and it doesn’t seem to effect the feel of the controller in my hand at all.

I am not knocking the controller because I am an ages long PS fanboy. I use this for my gaming PC setup as many steam games tend to be Xbox setup in controller formatting and it is just easier. This is a comfortable unit with a good battery life. No lag in responses... and I love the color. However, I think almost $90 is a high price for a controller... The cost is my only complaint.

Whoa, now this is premium. I can't get over it. The weight, the response on all the buttons, the sheer feel of metal, and it feels so good. Battery life is great, Type C charging is always a plus, Astro can learn so much. Their C40 was absolute dog barf.

I really love the elite controller. Thanks to Best Buy and the Protection Plan I was able to replace my broken controller. Plus I got this on sale. I do love the weight of it and the paddle buttons on the bottom for extra buttons. The D-pad has a nice feel and so does the joystick. I do like the battery life. I myself never ran out of power. It comes with a case that you can sit your controller in and connect the USB-C cable so it can charge inside the case. I love that I can pair this with my PC.

Great feel. Lighter than the original elite and more durable. Cheaper but you don’t get the paddles.

Having complete control is gaming makes everything much more enjoyable and that is what the Xbox Elite 2 controller provides. The most important feature for me was the thumbstick tensioning. I increased it fully and it had an immediate effect in playing First Person Shooters. The control is much more precise and the stick drifting is gone. Add in the full wrap around grips and a more solid and compact feel, this controller fits perfectly in my hands. All the customizable features can help make your favorite games play even more fun! I got my money out of the XE1 controller, I know I'll get it out of this one as well!

Size and grips on the controller feel great. Paal shifters on the bottom perfect placement have been using elite controllers for a few years now one of the best controllers I’ve ever had. I prefer an elite controller over a scuff.

I’ve had this controller for 13 months and it’s still going strong… no stick drift and the sticks still click down when pressed. I bought the 2 year replacement warranty and don’t see any need to replace it yet. The previous version of these controllers didn’t last this long, I would need to replace them within a year. I use it almost every day, for hours at a time.

Very good product. Price was decent because of the sale. The customization and extra buttons definitely help with gaming performance

This is a good premium feeling controller with some good weight to it and the functionality of the adjustments you can make is nice. The only downside is that for this model the paddles in the back and the different sized thumb sticks are not included compared to the higher priced model that come with those accessories. I do love the color options that are available in this version.

As someone who's bought the Elite controller open box, it wasn't a surprise to find out someone else returned it. This is actually my second one, first was brand new, and unfortunately, I've encountered similar issues with both. After some use, the buttons tend to stick and, frustratingly, they rarely register inputs on both my Xbox and PC. It's disappointing given the premium price tag and the high expectations I had for this controller. While it does offer some nice customization options and a comfortable grip, the reliability just isn't there for me. If you're considering purchasing one, I'd recommend thoroughly testing it out or opting for a different controller altogether to avoid potential headaches down the line. I recommend if you get the insurance as well, at least there’s value in that.

One of the best controllers out there, period. Great customization for buttons and sticks. Nice weight and works on almost anything. And remember that your settings are saved on the controller so they travel with you. Downside is that this can only be programmed on a PC or Xbox (as far as I know). The one thing that is bad is that I've had two of these and within 2 years the RB button stopped working on both(this is a known issue) so get a warranty. If Microsoft could fix this it would be perfect (for most)

Great sturdy controller that enhances me as a gamer and gives me the necessary edge to keep up with the PC gamers that can move faster than a console player. Love the battery life and features.

I literally don't think I could game without this controller anymore. I'm hooked and dependent. Bought it for the paddles to be able to keep my thumbs on the sticks for Call of Duty Warzone and it does exactly that. Takes a bit to come around to using the paddles. I only use the two small back paddles for jump and slide, my brain can't comprehend four of them lol. But honestly, so worth the money. I see people complain about the series 1 controllers and maybe even series 2, I've had zero problems. The additional thumbstick sizes, the standard d pad, charging dock, case, customizable setups, wireless aspect and just the weight/grips make this controller awesome. It's seriously so crucial.

This is the only controller I i will use, weight, comfortability, and customization options are amazing.

Excellent controller. Feels sturdy and satisfying in the hands. The customization options are really nice, with obvious design choices aimed at different genres of gaming. The adjustable triggers feel solid in all settings and treating them like a button is satisfying in both fps and RPGs. The case is, I'll just say it, really cool- the charge block is magnetized to the zipper pouch and it's a really aesthetic setup. Plus there's more than enough extras here to support getting a second controller in the much cheaper core series.

10/10 Item Item Has Lasted 3 Months Since Buying It W NO Problems. No Input Delay. No Stick Drift. Good Controller Customer Service was amazing & helpful Was greeted when i walked thru the door 3 employee's where ready to help me fond what i needed.

Definitely better than the first model. Not having the share feature is a bummer

this is an amazing controller my only issue is the stick drift. I have bought two of these in a used/ newish condition and both has a left stick drift. there are ways to fix it on your own and if that the case this controller works great
