Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very happy with this purchase. The quality is solid, it works exactly as described, and it’s been easy to use right out of the box. Everything feels well-made and dependable, and it’s clearly designed with real users in mind. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a reliable option, and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from this brand again.

Bought this for my son. From what I gather from him this controller is excellent compared to the non elite series. One of his favorite features is the built in battery. He said if this one ever goes kaput he would want another one just maybe a different color.

I have the original Xbox elite controller and absolutely loved it. Still not a single issue with it besides the grips starting to peel but that’s after a couple years. The new elite series 2 feels so good in the hands and the fact that the battery is built in makes it even better. All the options of fine tuning to you’re liking is incredible for whatever games you play. I don’t have full use of my right hand in my pinky and ring finger so a controller like this with the paddles on the back make it easier for multitasking while gaming.

My controller feels solid and responsive. The buttons have a clean click and the sticks feel smooth. The grip is comfortable during long gaming sessions. I use it on Xbox and my Windows laptop without any issues. Setup was quick and Bluetooth connection stays stable. The blue color also looks sharp in person. I think it is worth the price and it improved my gameplay right away.

I bought this controller to replace a previous Elite Controller that succumbed to severe stick drift and a battery that wouldn’t hold a charge. I wasn’t looking forward to paying full price for an Elite controller, so was very glad to find this one. It doesn’t come with all the bells and whistles of my previous controller but i didnt really need them since those same accessories and case from my previous controller all wotk with this one. I also wasn’t sure if i liked the white on black color scheme but it really works and this controller feels just as sold as my old one. Very pleased with this purchase.

Not a bad controller works well responds well but stick drift came in quick after about a few months had to return. The first one I bought was not working at all. The second one I got is working well other than a little bit of stick drift the Best Buy team was very helpful on swapping the controller for a new one.

This is the best and worst controller xbox puts out. It feels amazing in your hand and the charging feature is awesome. All the different buttons on the back are great. Only issue is i had to return 2 of these before i found one that the triggers didn't feel sticky right out the box. I watched some YouTube videos on the issue and i fixed the 3rd one by putting an alcohol pad in the back of the trigger with a skinny piece of metal. Apparently there's glue or something that is always back there. After several week my right thumb stick drifts. Other than the stupid issues it's still way better than the ones the xbox comes with.

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.

Best controller on the market, period. I use this for almost all my gaming on my Alienware R16 and the build quality is night and day compared to a standard controller. The adjustable-tension sticks and paddles make a huge difference in feel and precision. If you’re serious about gaming on a PC or console, it’s worth every penny.

Love this controller best part about it is the paddles on the back. High quality feel

Love the weight and grip on this controller. The pads come off for washing if needed and you can change the feedback on the triggers with buttons on the back

Buying this controller has to be a great choice and well worth the money. It feels great in the hands with grip and weight. Buttons are responsive and joysticks and dpad are feels great.

This controller is one of the best I have ever used. i mainly use it for pc gaming when i dont want to use my mouse and keyboard and it does the trick for me. And it is not as expensive as the black elite 2.

Controller is very modular and comfortable in the hands, allows for many unique button configurations for paddles

Really good controller and comfortable grip. Only issue is that I didn't have the replacement parts that it came with like it sated on the box. but overall quite happy with it, plus really long battery life. I only had to charge maybe once or twice since I bought

Awesome controller! Easy to use and comfortable in the hand. Love this color combination and charging is quick and easy

Great controller, has proven to be more durable than the original elite 2 while being slightly lighter in weight. Ive used elite 2 controllers for about 3 years and the bumpers always fail withing the first year or shortly after and this elite core has been running the longest, so in comparison i definitely would put the core on top, and you can get cool colors.

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!!

Can’t play without this controller. Great grip, great feel. Drifts in some games though, not all.

I wanted a controller with more responsiveness and that is what I got. Compared to a standard non elite or modified controller, this is more reliable and responsive. The amount of times I depress LT or RT and have to wait for the game to recognize I am trying to perform an action was tiresome. Unless it was CoD and/or a game I could set trigger dead zones, timing dodges or specific actions would input early or late. With the triggers being adjustable from a full pull, to half or even a click, saves me a headache while performing dodges or counter attacks. The rounded face D Pad also amazing for games that have upper left, upper right, lower left, lower right options. Having to press and hold UP and Right, etc on a normal D Pad again tiresome. Amazing product and I wish I could give it 5 stars, however I want other color options that don't require me to buy an accessory kit that would cost more than an already bundled controller OR having to order custom through Microsoft. Pros: - Well made with solid weight to it - Default profile without back buttons - 3 Customizable profiles for back buttons - Add or remove back buttons with ease - Swappable sticks and D pad with strong magnets - 3 levels of adjustablility for trigger stops Cons: - Requires Xbox Accessories App on PC - Does not properly indicate battery life Wired or BT - Colored Core options do not come with full accessories at reduced price, even then you over pay to add the accessories with a Elite Core - Unless custom ordered through Microsoft all buttons follow black and grey color scheme
