Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller's high-quality build, excellent battery life, and comfortable grip. Many appreciate the customization options and the controller's overall feel and weight. However, customers are negative about the prevalence of stick drift issues reported by some users, as well as concerns about the durability of certain buttons and bumpers. The positive feedback on features like customization and feel is frequently offset by negative experiences with controller longevity.

    The best controller in the industry, hands down. Especially if you have the 2 year Best Buy warranty. 60 dollars each time you need a new one! It makes too much sense!

    The elite 2 is an incredible controller, probably the best you can buy! It’s is leaps and bounds better in every aspect that’s the first elite controller. Once you use and elite 2 controller you won’t want anything else.

    This controller is just amazing. I was skeptical to order based on cost but I would recommend it with ease after using it. The controller just feels much more premium and solid compared to the Original Elite. The customzations are better, the grips are better, the triggers are a pleasure. Even the Xbox Home button has been upgraded and is sturdy and not "Squishy". Within a few minutes of customizing I noticed an immediate different in my MW abilities. I didnt expect to notice any real difference, but it was there!!! The charging base is also a huge blessing. I was excited to see it was USB-C as it was the biggest thing I hated about the xbox controllers of past (micro USB is terrible), however the dock has made that moot anyway!! Also unlike the cable, putting it on the dock charges it without turning the xbox back on

    First off, I love this controller. The overall build and quality is immensely better than the standard Xbox controller. And it should be, given that it is 2-3x more expensive than the standard, but you definitely get what you pay for. The sheer amount of customization is overwhelming, but is great for the serious gamer. I have noticed the RB button started to stick within the first 4 months of casual gaming, so I am very disappointed about that. My standard controllers only began to have button sticking issues after 1-2 years of use. Subtracting 2 stars because of this.

      Hi Alex,

      We're glad that you're enjoying your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 for the most part. It's especially great to hear that you're a fan of its customization features and sturdy construction, too. While it sounds like your Elite 2 may be outside of its 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty, we recommend reaching out to Xbox Support to see if there is a fix for the issue you are experiencing here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,

    I was reluctant to buy the Elite 2, after reading many bad reviews of it, but I went ahead and ordered one as I love my xbox original elite 1. Been using it for almost a month and it works great. Will write more after six month.

    The best controller on the market! I love everything from the very premium metal triggers, the rubber grips, and even down to the button presses. The controller offer an amazing feature called "shift key" which changes what the button functions can do. Using it to change my TV volume has been an absolute game changer! I can't recommend this controller enough to anybody who is looking to improve their gaming experience.

    This controller is too perfect, from the full grip around, to the tension tighteners, and shortening the triggers is so amazing. And then to top of off, you’re able to configure up to 3 settings for 3 different games. Highly recommended.
