Customer Ratings & Reviews

Huge upgrade from a regular controller. The weight is heavier but that makes it so much better. The grip pads are an excellent touch. Love the different map settings and light customization. And getting paddles is a must

The “pro” gamer setup of the controller - the paddles under the controller, swappable joysticks, adjustable triggers contribute to the solid feel of this controller. It has the feel of a premium controller, and rightfully so, considering the price tag attached to the Elite 2. Honestly, this controller isn’t for everyone; if you’re a casual gamer, you can probably save the money. If you’re an avid gamer, and one who plays a lot of first person shooters, give this controller a serious look. And if you have the disposable income - don’t hesitate to pick this controller up. Me personally - I like this controller so much, I’m considering picking another one up as a reserve controller.

This controller definitely comes with a price premium and I was hesitant to shell out that much for a controller, but with my original Elite on its last leg after years of use, I decided to give it a chance and I was not disappointed. First off, it's very comfortable- I love the grips they chose and how they made them go all the way around the controller this time. I also like that they've added a grip texture to the shoulder buttons, a nice touch. Like the original, this one includes 3 sets of thumb sticks. This time however, they're a little different. I think it has a set of 360 control sticks this time, at least they feel that way to me. I've been playing around with a few different ones and I've enjoyed using them all for different games. The d-pad of course is pretty much the same and that's not much of an issue. Both the d-pad and the circular d-pad are fantastic. The paddles are similar to the original but have a few differences. They're a little smaller and now they don't feel like they get in the way. And this time it feels like they require a little more effort to press them in, which is a good thing to me. I've had way less accidental presses with the new paddles. Like the old Elite, this one includes the same carrying case and braided charging cable, which is great. But you also get the ability to charge your controller while it's in its case thanks to the charger pass-through slot and the charging dock that's included, which is a very welcomed addition. You also get a rechargeable battery included (finally!). However, it is non-removable unless you take the controller apart. You also get 3 on-board profiles plus the default profile that you can change with the press of a button, and of course you store hundreds more on the Xbox accessories app. There are many other new features packed into this controller that you'll have to research yourself, but overall I'd definitely recommend this to anyone that was a fan of the original Elite. Microsoft has pretty much fixed every issue that the first one had and improved on so many things.

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

Work greats never dies during long gaming sessions even when powering a headset. Super customizable very durable

The elite series 2 is the best controller on the market. Paddles are a game changer once you get used to them. Big improvement over the series 1 paddles. Hair triggers are amazing, battery life is crazy good.

It feels great in my hands and everything is so easy to remove and replace. feels very solid and the underneath paddles let me play without having to take my thumbs off the sticks. It has great battery life too.

Good controller, but tends to get stick drift fairly quickly.

Love the button mapping and customizability and very comfortable love the built in battery

No joke. Best controller out there. Its light in the hands and the textured grips make it easy to hold for hours. Not to mention the charge on this is the best out there.

Controller is working great. It is configurable and adjustable in just about any way and can suit anyone’s needs and play style. I have had no stick drift issues with these and the paddles are nice and clicky.

I absolutely love playing with this controller. At first, I was hesitant because of the price but after a while I feel like the price is more than a bargain. I can use it for my Xbox, my computer and my cell phone. I can customize it for movies, individual games and streaming, soo much more. It's insanely customizable. The weight and durability are amazing. Gaming just isn't the same without it. By far one of my favorite purchases of all time. Don't even get me started on the battery life... It lasts for like 20 hrs, sometimes more.

The Xbox Elite Pro Controller offers premium build quality, customizable buttons, and swappable parts for a personalized experience. Its precision, comfort, and durability make it perfect for both competitive and casual gaming. With adjustable triggers and excellent grip, it feels responsive and reliable, truly enhancing gameplay and giving players an edge.

I really enjoy this controller. It has a good feel. The grips are nice. The paddles on the back are easy to reach. Programming the buttons is super easy. Some people have reported stick drift, which I have never experienced. I own two of these controllers. I will say I have never paid full price for one. I bought used off best buy and ebay (with no issues).

Super dope controller. Feels amazing in your hands and comes with tons of extra paddles etc. unfortunately mine is missing the charger that comes w it but it’s a standard USBC so I can charge it myself anyway. Feels durable and super high quality but also comes at super high price. Great gift for a serious gamer but casual players don’t need all this

Awsome remote, a little expensive but very well worth it. great customization options and feel.

I think it’s a excellent controller , I’ve had 3 . I do play a lot . Especially FPS and for the most part these elite controllers give me a couple of years great use . It weighs about right and the customization options have been great. I know it’s costly but I really do feel like you get what you pay for . Microsoft also has a pretty good warranty with these controllers so I’m happy with my purchase

Awesome controller, minor issue with stick drift but it’ll take about 3-4 months until it really give in.

This controller is fantastic in just about every way. Lots of customization and fine tuning. I won’t go into the details, because anyone can research how much you can do with these great controllers. This controller is weighty, compared to the Xbox elite one, it feels about 50% heavier. I like it and have no issues, it makes it feel sturdy. I have yet to have issues with any rubber coming off like the Xbox elite one, so that is a great improvement too. The bad news is: I have had to replace about 3 of these controllers already! For me, the right bumper keeps becoming sensitive and double pressing. Eventually, it will stop working altogether, especially if you press harder on it. I believe it is a manufacturer defect (happens after a few months of everyday use). I’ve tried cleaning it with some success, but it still comes back. I highly suggest getting the replacement plan if you want to have this controller for a long time. Although I had to buy a second so that I would have no down time in between returning and ordering a new one (they are almost always out of stock at my BB store). TLDR; Buy this controller if you game a lot, but know that the bumpers (or other buttons may fail after a few months). Get the replacement plan option OR use Microsoft’s new 1 year replacement plan and expect to wait about 2 WEEKS to get a new controller. The warranty use to be 90 days, currently it is now 1 year!

This red Xbox controller is ! The color is bold, the feel is smooth, and it connects instantly. Super comfortable for long sessions and works perfectly on both Xbox and PC. Definitely worth it if you want something that stands out.
