Great controller. It has a great feel and weight to it. The grip on this is much better than the original model. No such drift as of yet, so fingers crossed

Works exactly as intended, smooth too. Multiple features and the best controller you can get.

Great controller, its about time they dropped the Elite series 3 though. I think this one is lagging behind (literally) when it comes to the amount of Hz it connects too. The higher the better. Almost got a different one until i found it it had no rumble to the controller. I need to feel the game! Extremely comfortable and easy to use. Buy!!!

This is a real game changer when it comes to customization and when in game. The interchangeable thumb grips and paddles makes it to were I can’t go back to the original controller

its a great controller till it gets stick drift. not even two weeks and right analog stick drifts towards the left. Pro - Feels Good on hand. magnetic thumbs stick 4 back paddles comes with disc d pad

Very good controller. To me its yhe standard to measure against. My only complaint is that over time and continuous use the padding on the sticks wear doen

Was hesitant in getting a refurbished controller, but as soon as I began using it all that went away. Clearly another level than the standard controllers, but ultimately price speaks volumes and the base price of this device is understandable and still exceeds tolerance. At half the cost, then absolutely a done deal. Same can be said for a standard controller for that matter. These devices shouldn’t be priced the way they are and neither should anything in the console category as they’ve exponentially climbed towards absurdity. If hardware has outpaced game resource demands, then either we don’t need to refresh systems for another ten years or someone needs to tax the system resources with something amazing, to which they have and it didn’t need teraflops. But I digress…awesome controller and refurb totally worth it.

Perfect!!! Great value and the knowing that if there are any problems with the item BEST Buy will honor its replacement.

Feels like about 100 dollars worth of controller for the low low price of 200 dollars. Honestly it has some neat features, the typical things found on previous iterations of elite and scuf controllers but with added things like 3 quick change profiles, adjustable stick tension and a very long lasting recharablge battery pack that recharges when placed back inside its case. I'll be eager to see if my favorite microsoft controller feature will make a triumphant return on the elite version 2....stick drift, it's been missing so far, but its not outside its factory warranty period...so there's still time.

amazing product, due to the fact of personal customization for each game and the interchangeable d-pads, paddles, and thumb sticks, i love the fact i can change them out when im switching games and switching my play style. i personally am a multi gamer, and i switch out my games constantly so im always changing my play styles and switching pieces on my controller. i do highly recommend this product.

Honestly best controller ive ever had, recently mine is getting stick drift but no big deal will purcahse again

This Elite Series 2 Core controller delivers a fantastic gaming experience. The textured rubber grips feel great in hand, the buttons and sticks are responsive, and the battery life is impressive. Setup on Xbox and PC was seamless. The only caveat is the price — but if you’re serious about your gaming, this controller is a worthy investment. Highly recommend.

Nice controller. Heavier than the default controllers. Great battery life. Had trouble with my rb button. Return was more difficult than expected. Even as a best buy total plus member, i could only return through microsoft. They did fix and send back though. Seems to be fine so far.

When you pick up this controller quality is the first thing you feel. You know this is what you paid for. The heaviness, the quality, the perfect textured grip shows the Xbox took this controller to the next level. Even better than the first generation of this controller. Then to top it off, you can add custom button mapping to Each button even change the color of the Xbox logo. Everything from customization to mapping is just a nice touch.

By far the best controller on the market. Battery life is amazing and the grip is perfect.

The best controller on the market for Xbox or PC. Build quality is great, has good weight to it, love the lack of cables and shiny appearance. But... How does a controller this expensive have so many issues with the buttons? Not even a week after buying this for my Jedi:Survivor play through on PC, it registers the "A" button about 9/10 times. Now, that sounds like a nitpick, but consider making a jump in a platformer ONLY 9/10 times by no fault of your own, after paying so much for a controller. You either need to press down HARD or press down perfectly nadir for it to register every time. Totally unacceptable for a controller of this price point. Why is it still "good"? Everything else is beyond wonderful, except the "A" button which many other users have reported issues with. Had it RMA'd and done custom fixes, nothing works. MS just had a poor "A" design I guess. Get it if you have money to spend and hope for the best. Or like using the paddles which work very nicely. Otherwise, I recommend the standard version. I have one too and has zero issues.

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.

The microsoft elite controller 2 is the best controller Ive owned! The grip on the handle is very comfortable, the adjustable triggers and joysticks make it the most personalized controller out there currently!! It’s rechargeability is exactly what XBOX has been missing all these years!! The controller may be a little pricey but in comparison to the stock controller, this controller blows it out of the water!!

The elite controller is great, I've had a couple of series 1 and 2. I would recommend the protection plan, the controller will break in some capacity, all pro controllers are infamous for this, whether it be stick drift, grips pealing, broken bumpers, or broken charging port, something will eventually go wrong with it.

good controller love the paddles on the back might be to bulky for small hand people
