Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is the only controller I i will use, weight, comfortability, and customization options are amazing.

I like many features about this but there are some things I wish I could further tweak. Pros: - So much button and stick customization - RGB light behind Xbox logo - Metal D-pad and back button triggers - Quality feel - Rubber grips do a good job of helping with “sweaty palm syndromes” by being a quick drying grid style rubber Cons: - Much heavier than any custom controller I’ve ever owned - Not personally a fan of back button trigger placement/configuration - RGB light not very vibrant or as expansive in colors available as it likes to advertise I think overall I’m happy with the purchase, but I don’t think I’ll buy it again. I will wait for what they make next or seek a different brand.

This was the one I swapped the blue controller with that was definitely a refurbished being sold as new. This on had no paddle presets, xbox light is bright and it was 100% clean. I just didn't want white because it gets dirty faster but it was the only other one available besides the normal elite series 2 for $200. Other then that great controller and it works just like the normal elite 2s. Very happy with the product and that it was new and not used.

Excellent build quality, love the built in battery, no more double A’s needed. Has a great weight and the customizability is amazing, from hairpin triggers to customizable back paddle buttons

Very comfortable you’re able to adjust a different settings and the Xbox light change color to I set it too I love it.

I love how it feels and the case you get with it is good for traveling and it has different attachments for your controller. Only bad thing is the price but what you get with makes it worth it.

As someone who's bought the Elite controller open box, it wasn't a surprise to find out someone else returned it. This is actually my second one, first was brand new, and unfortunately, I've encountered similar issues with both. After some use, the buttons tend to stick and, frustratingly, they rarely register inputs on both my Xbox and PC. It's disappointing given the premium price tag and the high expectations I had for this controller. While it does offer some nice customization options and a comfortable grip, the reliability just isn't there for me. If you're considering purchasing one, I'd recommend thoroughly testing it out or opting for a different controller altogether to avoid potential headaches down the line. I recommend if you get the insurance as well, at least there’s value in that.

I recently bought the Xbox Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller from Best Buy, and it's fantastic for PC gaming. The rubberized grips are incredibly comfortable, making long sessions a breeze. With excellent customization options and responsive controls, this controller is a great investment for serious gamers. Highly recommend!

I like these controllers alot because the battery last forever and the build quality is strong, but the best part is the customizable functions that makes Elite. Having this control much control can give you an advantage during certain games.

I can’t give to much detail as I only had the controller for a week but I ordered an open box excellent condition, but was sent a controller in “good” condition. The b button did not work and the key to tighten and loosen the thumb sticks was not included and they were tightened to the point that they were stiff. I ended up returning it because I spent $100 on a controller that was unusable and not what I’d ordered.

Best controller, i wont use another controller. Very durable, weighted perfectly. great customization, get the warranty if you are a heavy user like i am normal wear and tear

This controller is one of the best controllers for Xbox! I play a lot of COD and back paddles and ability to customize are very key for a better gaming experience! I do wish the price was a little lower.

This was a gift purchase for my son, he is pretty anti-xbox controller but I convinced him it is more comfortable than being tethered to the PC with his PS5 controller. He enjoys it and no stick drift as of yet.

I’ve had this controller for 13 months and it’s still going strong… no stick drift and the sticks still click down when pressed. I bought the 2 year replacement warranty and don’t see any need to replace it yet. The previous version of these controllers didn’t last this long, I would need to replace them within a year. I use it almost every day, for hours at a time.

By far the best Xbox controller I have ever used. I've been through every controller that Xbox has put out and this one is superb in every way. The buttons are all mapable and the sensitivity of the triggers and buttons are all adjustable. The paddles are there also for those who prefer them, but in my configuration I just don't use them. The feel of this controller is hefty, durable and worth the cost. The case has a charging stand built in which is very nice, but make sure you have a USB-C cable to plug into it. The best thing about this controller is that every part about it just makes sense. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that is a serious gamer. You won't be disappointed.

Elite 2 at it's finest no matter what. I know there other pro controllers out in the market and they offer similar or customization than the elite 2 but I always default to the elite 2 because it feels perfect to control in my hands. What I wanted from a standard Xbox series controller the elite 2 is the perfect and only upgrade I need. I do wish though Microsoft/Xbox would retool/ refine their product durability testing because even though I love my elite 2 I've gotten through 2 pairs already and both stopped working because of stick drift and the bumper pads began to suddenly peel off and that's coming from someone who doesn't sweat a lot when gaming. Hopefully elite series 3 will be third time's a charm ( for real)

It is a good controller with a rechargeable battery and many customization options. It is quite expensive though.

Works so much better than the regular wireless Xbox controller and doesn’t die as fast.

In my years of gaming, I've tried numerous controllers, but the Elite controller stands head and shoulders above the rest. Its exceptional design, build quality, customization options, wireless connectivity, and impressive battery life make it the ultimate gaming companion. Whether you're a casual gamer or a competitive enthusiast, this controller will undoubtedly enhance your gaming experience and take your skills to the next level. Trust me, you won't be disappointed with the Elite controller. It's a true game changer

The swappable thumbsticks, D-pad, and paddles allow for a highly customizable experience, catering to different play styles which was the main reason I made this purchase. I truly enjoy using this controller and I can’t wait to see what Microsoft does to the next generation of it.
