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.

    Great Controller

    I got this controller for my PC at the same time I got a Playstation Edge controller for my PS5. This controller is so much better. Everything feels so much more responsive, from the sticks to the triggers. It sits better in my hands and just feels better overall. Even if the Edge controller had four back triggers like this one instead of two, I’d still rate this one better. I’ve been a Playstation over Xbox fan my whole life, and it makes me sad to rate something Xbox better than PS. But truth is truth. I wish I could use one of these on my PS5.

    Loce the fact that i dont have to replace batteries all the time with this controller and in which, the internal battery last a while, thinking close to 20hrs before recharging if not longer. Enjoying the customization and button mapping for the extra slots.

    Microsoft gets a great review on this controller! Some really great improvements from my first gen Elite controller. My old paddles work perfect on this new series and it is now my go to controller.

    "Professional" reviews are normally hit or miss and here lately complete garbage. Wanted one of these for a while, so I got one. I was one that could only play 1st person shooters with keyboard and mouse. Tried many times with the Xbox wireless controller, but no way. After setting up the Elite with the windows app and a little practice, I am now playing 1st person shooters almost as good as a keyboard and mouse with the convenience of a controller. Its just more fun. The customization in the app is very nice. Stick curve and sensitivity along with full button customization. There is also recalibration. The controller feels premium and comfortable, I use all four paddles and dont need to touch the keyboard for normal play controls. After just a few days I tried the older wireless controller again and couldnt put it away fast enough. If you are on the fence about it, dont be! The additional sticks are a must. Magnetic charger is awesome.

    I didn’t think I noticed much of a difference at first until I forgot to charge this controller, using my old controller felt like using a fisher price toy. This is such nice quality, the charge lasts so long, and it’s heavy in a good way. Weighty.

    red and black Xbox Elite Series 2 is a gem for any gamer seeking precision durability and style. Its striking design, premium build quality, and advanced features fully justify its reputation as one of the best controllers on the market.

    My favorite controller. It’s got the heft and feel of quality while offering a perfect fit for my hands. You know that sound of quality when you shut a well-made car door? Not tinny and weak, but that sold *thunk*? This is the console controller equivalent.

    This controller is fantastic. I was skeptical. The price is a bit steep. That said, the controller has some weight to it. It's study and the internal rechargable battery last A LONG time. Best controller I've ever owned.

    Fantastic controller, kind of annoying how you can’t lock the magnetic joysticks or d-pad in place. Sometimes you can easily flick them off, specifically the joysticks.

    I'm appreciate Microsoft offering a cheaper elite 2 controller for those who already have a case and flippers. Great deal and sometimes even on sale for cheaper at Best Buy!

    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.

    My favorite controller yet. Im not a fan of the triggers so this one is perfect for me. Bought red so i can tell the difference between mine and my roommates. With total i can switch out when ever stick drift happens. Win win!!

    Nice build and weight. Fits in my (admittedly large) hands. Good replacement if your old elite controller starts having drift and you can't wait for Microsoft to send in a refurbished replacement. If using on PC, make sure to update the controller before using it.
