Customer Ratings & Reviews

Best Buy offered the best deal I could find for the Elite 2 controller. I appreciate its heavier and more durable feel compared to the regular controller. The attempt to fix the grip issue and the switch to USB-C are also positives. However, it would be even better with hall effect or a similar feature to prevent stick drift. It's worth noting that these controllers came out before hall effect joysticks became more common. Perhaps this is something they will consider for the Elite 3 design improvements.

Good price and has lasted a long time. I will buy again.

Absolutely a must need. Best Xbox controller out there

Amazing controller for FPS games by far. You don’t have to use a single one of the A,X,B,Y buttons at all bc of the paddles.

Dont drop it though parts go flying .. nice solid feel long battery life.. only 4 stars because parts come off very easily .. id say its an adult controller! Grab one!

This is the core elite 2 controller, so it does not come with the paddles or the extra analog sticks, but you can use paddles and sticks from other elite 2 controllers. It does, however, come with the key to adjust the sticks’ tension. Overall, the controller works well, but I would recommend getting the service protection plan. Microsoft only covers their controllers for 30 days.

I’ve been using elite controllers for years! Just wanted a different color and this works just as well! Very durable and lasts me longer than any scuff controller.

This control will last me for a week without charging it. I see a lot of people get stick drift but i have not experienced that at all yet. (Had it for 5 minths now) I did get thr 2 year geek squad protection just in case but so far amazing control. Kight need to break it in first because its stiff but eventually it gets better and better

I love how well the controller works but I recommend getting the warranty because every elite controller I have used in the past breaks within a year.

One of the best controllers for the Xbox series. Once you adjust the controller to what you like, you will feel a great difference in most of your games.

After having used the Xbox Elite 2 Controller for about 1 month at this point, I can say that so far it lives up to the hype. Originally, I used to ONLY buy/use Scuf controllers and assumed the build quality and most-common issues would be similar. i was completely wrong. Nothing on this controller feels too loose, tight, or anything other then a premium feel and construction. Im sure this controller will eventually get stick drift too, but at 2/3rds the price as a scuf controller, if it makes it 3-6 months and maintains its responsiveness and sounds structural feel, it will be an easy choice. My only complaint is that the battery isn’t removable and it doesnt look like it supports wireless charging.

I love it works great for every game I want to play it feels great in my hands I don't have to stress out I can just not have to deal with what you normally have to deal with with a regular controller this control is unique it has its own personal customization feature to it so I would definitely get this and I know it's 180 bucks but it's worth it

Cant go wrong best pro controller for xbox just gotta get lucky with the stick drift issue i have had 2 of these with no issues for over 6 months so far so good but I have heard of a lot of issues with stick drift guess its just a lottery but overall solid controller 10 out of 10 paddles are perfect battery life is excellent and theres so many options to customize the sticks and what not if you look online with places like amazon theres a lot of third party options

Love these controllers and with the new update to change the xbox light to different colors it is easier to tell which preset you have active.

Excellent controller definitely recommend it if you take video games seriously, definitely a game changer

The controller has 3 different trigger settings which is cool and a pretty good battery life. I sometimes forget I have to charge the controller. Haha. I like it better than my previous controllers so I give it a 5/5.

I absolutely love this controller. It's perfect in every way. And the customization is almost limitless. I wish I could give this controller more than 5 stars. It's literally a work of art! I highly recommend this controller if you want to improve your game and precision.

Didn't think about it coming with the thumbsticks with the sharp edge around the top. Luckily I had an Elite Series 2 that had stick drift and was able to move the thumbsticks from it to this and now I'm happy. Having black thumbsticks also broke up the sea of red nicely. Still think it is weird to have white on the back.

After doing my research, the only thing I am curious about this controller is durability. Seems like many have had to replace a few. I treat my stuff pretty good but besides that, I am loving every bit of this controller. The feel is like no other controller. I was using a regular Xbox One S controller for the past two years and never thought the Elite model would actually be that much better. Boy, I was wrong. Hands down my favorite Xbox and PC controller moving forward. Let's hope these reviewers are just mistreating their controllers one way or another.

This controller was definitely a upgrade from the regular one. I love the feel and the accessories it comes with to give you a competitive edge in games. Pair that with best buy’s warranty, unbeatable combo!
