Customer Ratings & Reviews

Been enjoying my Elite 2 controller. Love the weight behind it and the way the joy sticks and paddles feel. I also like being able to adjust the trigger distance when playing first person shooters.

I like how heavy it feels, the grips are nice but quickly start losing their friction abilities after a few uses. The only other problem in have is the size of tge controller. It might just be me but it just needs to be bigger i feel like.

most solidly built controller I've ever felt. definitely worth the money with a warranty to fiber any possible drift or sticky buttons

This controller is amazing. Just simply allowing you to limit how much you have to lift your thumbs is a game changer

Great controller, recommended upgrade ocer the factory xbox controlller

it's lovely, different from a actual regular controller

Let's break this down into a few categories. Build- The build, fit and finish of this controller are top-notch. Each button feels refined, deliberate, and solid. From the bottom triggers to the adjustable shoulder triggers, they are built with purpose and intent. Feel/ Comfort- The controller is ever so slightly smaller than the OG controllers of the X|S line but that's perfectly fine. The grip is comfortable with forgiveness and provides the right amount of grip and texture. Battery- With an integrated battery that should last a day's worth of play, it's simple enough to dock the controller to charge it for the next session. Feedback/Vibration- This is where it gets a bit silly. The primary grip motors are intense and solid, however, the shoulder ones sound like they are loose and weak. Could ba a design, but, for a controller of this caliber I would expect otherwise. The BAD- Ok, so let's get to the elephant in the room. Stick Drift. Is it still a thing, and in short, yes. It took me, 4 controllers, to fine on with thumbsticks thight enough and without slop. While tightening the tension does help, it should be used as a primary source to undo shotty sticks. Why is this worth it! First, let's talk about customization. I know while many of us who play would say "I don't really care about the customization" Trust me, you will once you get tuning and customizing. From the trigger that can easily be removed and mappable, to the sensitivity and responsiveness of the thumbsticks. Moreover, the sensitivity adjustment of the triggers are mechanical as well to shorten the throw. Would I recommend this controller---With its minor shortcomings, still a SOLID YES if you have the coin to toss around.

I’ll be updating my review as time goes, but I just want to say out the box first day my gaming experience changed instantly! I do have to get used to the paddles again but no biggie. As of right now this is easily the best $200 I’ve ever wasted.

Good controller, but little expensive considering it doesn't come with the extra buttons it's specificity designed for. You have to buy the case that comes with the extra sticks and buttons. Some metal parts instead of plastic. Works well and feels solid.

I've been using the Elite controller since it's first iteration and they never disappoint. The only reason I needed a new one is because I made the mistake of letting my son use the other and he raged in Fortnite and slammed it on the desk.

Great controller feels great in the hands. Rubber starts to peel over time though.

Great controller I will highly recommend it has a good grip and good weight 

Bought open box and it has been amazing. Controller is a great upgrade over the standard Controller.

Quite a nice sturdy feeling controller. It weighs quite a bit more than a normal Xbox controller as it has a built in battery and is just made of heavier stuff. I wish the built in battery was removable as I play wired. All in all if a heavy controller doesn’t bother you I would get it. Swing for the complete set if you can core is nice but having all the extras would complete it.

This is the second one I have owned. The first one was great, lasted 2 years of daily gaming. Then the RB button stopped working, so I got this one. Lasted maybe a month before it started randomly disconnecting from my Xbox, never had this problem. It always seems to be at the worst possible time too, mid fight in a game. Then it takes around 40 seconds to actually light up and reconnect even when pressing the button. I will be making a claim on it to get a replacement. The 4 stars is because other than these weird problems this is the best controller to ever exist. Buttons feel amazing, very responsive even with Bluetooth connection instead of wired. In mortal kombat 1, the D pad on this thing is top of the line and can not be beaten. If you’re a mk1 player you NEED this controller.

The Xbox Elite Series 2 controller is legit. It’s super comfy, feels sturdy, and the customizable paddles and sticks are perfect for any game. The button mapping a snap, and the battery life is solid. Grips and trigger locks add nice control. A must-have for gamers who want to level up!

Ever since being able to afford one, I have always used these. The reason for the four-star is that I know in six-seven months I will need top use the warranty support for stick drift or a broken bumper. The reason why not three or lower, I have total rewards and BestBuy is good with replacement controllers.

These open box elite controllers are used. People use them for months then bring them back. Look at the buttons and other rubber parts you can se how used they are . Best Buy is misleading. Open box controllers don’t leave the store and havnt been played with games . But a new 1 they are awesome.

As my title says, this controller is very comfortable in my hands. I have bigger hands so that was important to me. The weight is perfect and it pairs right up with Windows 11 without an issue.

Love this controller. This is my second one, it would receive 5 stars, but with frequent use over a couple years the wear and tear is extreme, needing to replace it. So great product, just be prepared to replace it if you are a heavy gamer. Highly recommend regardless.
