Customer Ratings & Reviews

This controller is exceptional! I was not a fan of the all-black but works as it should.

Third time I’ve purchased this controller. Would recommend. No charging cord or stand like previous versions

Great controller it for daily use for sure. This is my second one I bought since my daughter has spilled fluids and beat it up. But even then the controller lasted for 2 years before I had major issues with it

I luv this controller. The weight and grips around the sides, gives a great feel in your hands. Also luv that the joysticks and d-pad are pop outs makes for changing easy and quick.

Great controller but it got a problem with stick drift. It’s doesn’t make it unusable but it’s annoying. Overall really good controller

My favorite controller I’ve ever had. Awesome for any game, from Elden ring to Call of Duty

[Employee of bestbuy] Thought about spoling myself it's pretty nice compared to the regular one. Wireless and has a premium feel to it.

Definitely worth the money. Joy sticks are much smoother and the paddles allow for east customization for your gameplay needs.

Got this for my nephew he loves it feels great and love that it is rechargable

i have a team of expert reviewers (my three grandsons) who put this controller through an rigorous testing regime over the last few weeks. They all three said that it was great. The fact that it stood up to their nonstop and sometimes energetic playing means that it is durable as well as great.

Sturdy construction, quality feel. A lot more durable, IF you get one that was assembled well. I’ve had friends who bought brand new ones that had shoulder button issues in the first month.

[Employee of bestbuy] Love it, paddles are a huge help. Been working for over a year now.

less than 3 months after purchasing the left stick is already drifting. Other buttons are also starting to feel like they’re underperforming. Very surprised considering I try to be as gentle as possible while using it.

This contoller has amazing customizability, multiple profiles for different types of games, and comes in a few vibrant colors. On the other hand, the build quality of these controllers is ok at best. About a month into my use of this controller it developed signifcant stick drift and a faulty right bumper. Inultimately ended up returning it.

Best controller ever, I enjoy the option of not having to spend more for the paddles when the paddles aren’t ever the issue. The customization is great as well

Great controller, no issues with it at all. If you already own the paddles this is the perfect controller for you.

Great quality I love it, gives me such a huge advantage in my games

One of the best controllers I’ve had, had mine for 4 years

I was hesitant about the price of this controller, but I am so, so, so glad I went through with buying it. I suffer from hand and thumb issues, and wanted to try a different controller. This Elite Series 2 was recommended by almost every site I researched, and by multiple arthritis forums. My other option was to cut down on my Xbox play time, but right now it helps keep my hands and mind busy during my layoff from work due to quarantine. The features that I (and my hands!) appreciate the most are the extra paddles on the back, and the ability to customize the tension on the joysticks. That was a lifesaver for my poor hands! I prefer the tension to be on the tightest setting so my thumb joints don't have to stretch so far to manipulate the joysticks. I also further adjusted their tension in the controller customization in the Xbox Accessories app on my xbox. It is only day 2 that I have had it, and it's gotten a few hours of use, and I absolutely love how accessible and customizable it is. It is a bit on the heavy side, but it is the only mark against it in my book.

While I don't really think it's worth the full price, I got it on sale and used certificates to lower its cost even further, it's definitely an awesome controller. It's a solid, good-weighted controller. The grip texture around the entire grips is great. It just feels really good in your hands. Being able to tighten the tension on the control sticks, swapping out the sticks or the D-Pad for the other ones, all super easy to do. My one complaint is the lack of the share button the newer Series X/S controllers have. Since I got this after having one of those controllers, I definitely notice it missing. If they would patch an update to be able to remap the "preset switch" button to be the share button, this would be the perfect controller in my opinion, but for those who don't use the share button that often it's already at that perfect level.
