Customer Ratings & Reviews

The X Box Elite Series 2 Core has a very sturdy feel; ergonomically and functionally. Accuracy is improved and the self contained battery has excellent endurance. After buying an Elite Series 2 two (2) months ago, I’ve bought another and this Series 2 Core.

I’ve tried a dozen different Xbox controllers and this is one of my favorite. They discontinued the last controller that I fell in love with, and this has filled the void. Easy to acquire and works fantastic.

It's a very comfortable smooth remote. It's a very good casing very good remote controls response very good battery power

I’ve been using the Xbox Elite Series 2 in red, and honestly, it feels amazing. The build quality is solid, the grip is super comfortable, and the customization options make every game more fun. What I love most is how smooth and precise the sticks and triggers feel—it’s like the controller responds exactly how I want. Plus, the red finish looks so good in person. Definitely my favorite controller ever.

So I was skeptical at first about this purchase due to the mixed reviews. I’ve had this controller for about 6 months now and I can honestly say after countless hours and long nights playing the game, not to mention how many times I’ve accidentally dropped it on my hardwood floor that it still works perfectly. I’m here to tell you to go for it if you want to transition to paddles. I have and I’m not going back to regular controllers at least for FPS etc.

The Microsoft Elite Series 2 Core Controller is awesome! The controls are super responsive, and you can customize everything, which is great for gaming. The battery lasts forever, so no need to charge it all the time. It's a bit pricey, but worth it for serious gamers. Highly recommend!

The controller for the series X that comes with the console is awful. It’s click clack buttons and AA battery compartment are shameful. This controller however is the one that should have come with the system. As I’m writing this review it’s on sale for Total Tech members for $140.00 and it’s worth that easy. It’s every bit as good as any custom Scuff PS5 controller that are selling for $230.00. If you love your Xbox and hate the cheap controller they packaged with it here’s the remedy.

Love this controller, bought first Gen and 2nd Gen twice now. After a few years the rubber mats on left side started to separate, while trying to fix it, I made it worse. So I bought another. Long lasting battery, tons of great customization I can switch up even mid game. Look fwd to Gen 3 but will today enjoy and recommend this controller to everyone

Read alot of reviews about stick drift and issues with the elite and elite core. I’ve have had no issues so far and really enjoying the controller. I’ve had it for a couple weeks and pretty happy! I bought scuff paddles off amazon which i prefer over the microsoft paddles.

This remote feels great and was purchased on sale. Unfortunately, something got under the b button and it sticks. This is probably due to my son deinking soda near it. This is my favorite XBOX remote

This is my first elite controller and the change is very noticeable, totally recommend if you don’t play claw and even if you do the paddles on the back make you more faster

The best controller I’ve ever used. You can change the tension on the left and right thumbsticks independently as well as the left and right trigger travel. The grip texture feels secure yet comfortable. FPS and platformer games are more enjoyable with this controller. Playing on a Windows 11 PC. I found a red controller on sale with the Total Membership for $94 which was well worth it considering normal controllers are around $70.

I have been using this controller for over a year and still works like its brand new. Internal batteries so you just chage it after playing!

I’ve bought this controller again and again, And will buy again if need. It lasts long and work extremely excellent. Then from customization to the mechanics work amazing. It also comes with a carry case along with interchangeable pieces. The best part is it’s also rechargeable. Not to also mention the adjustable triggers

Love The controller Works really well for my Computer and makes gaming so much easier

I thought this controller was all hype over-priced. I finally caved thinking i was going eventually return it and stick to my tutle beach recon once my victix went to trash. I will not use any controller except this elitr series 2. I just bought the core and bought scuff paddles and its next level. The response time and low low low latency is godly. I personally use it connected withba wire becuse imo wired everything beats wireless coming from a PC gamer but this controller is so precise without being wired its impressive. It honestly made me better playing For Honor. I may just grab another one if it goes on sale as a backup even though this controller is very well built. Compared to the victrix whixh feels like a piece of cardboard. This elite series 2 is no joke. Definitely not a fad or a hype. If you play xbox or pc with controller its this over anything. Dont even bother with a scuf. This is mind blowing next level precison.

I'm not generally one to buy fancy controllers as I usually have a hard time justifying their price tags. This controller however, I do not regret purchasing. Being able to adjust the joystick tension makes it worth its price all on its own. The grip feels great in my hands and the battery life is exceptional. I finally have a switch pro replacement.

This is Top notch controller on the market this purchase was actually my second one because I fell in love with the first . Controller feel in the hand is 5/5 Customization is simple 5/5 Mapping and U.I simple user friendly 5/5 I’ve had other customizable controllers but they were to complicated to use every week there was a firmware update and the quality felt cheap . The only downside is that this controller does NOT come with a wireless dongle . I’m still going to give the controller 5 stars but in the future XBOX / Microsoft please add the wire dongle in the box .

Works wonderfully, I have had it for 3 months, and no stick drift playing Rocket League daily. I'd be shocked if it didn't last another 9 months

This controller has become my instant favorite. I have had many controllers over the years from Atari clear through to modern systems, and have preferred my Nintendo Switch Pro controller until now with my Xbox One controller being a distant second. I personally did not like the system included series x controller because of the dpad but this product has the ability to change dpads with ease and remedied that issue. The analog resistance features for the bumpers and thumb-sticks have been excellent between titles. The additional software type adjustments is phenomal once calibrated. It also lets a user save between different profiles for quick load. Throw in an adjustable color profile for the controllers backlight on the home button and it can be easy to quickly distinguish which profile is being used (outside the normal profile light indicator). The battery life is on par or better than the Nintendo Switch Pro controller and is leaps and bounds away from the recharchable package for the Xbox one.
