Customer Ratings & Reviews

the paddles in the back make this controller superior to the standard xbox controller. the black and silver looks sleek. my only complaint is the r2 and L2 buttons stop working after a while and the controller needs to be replaced after a year. (I will still probably keep getting this controller unless something more durable comes out)

The elite controller feels more solid/heavier than a standard xbox controller and has more attachments for buttons/triggers which helps in a variety of games. I do recommend getting the warranty though because I had issues with my first one not connecting correctly and disconnecting randomly. My 2nd one has fared better but the nubs on the back that switches the tension fell off within the year. Other than that the battery life is good and it charges via USB-C.

Xbox elite controller definitely is the step up every xbox gamer should be given the gift of, from being super comfortable to ultimate customization on textures to the controls, even the 4-paddle trigger backing to the controller is next level

This Elite Series 2 Core controller delivers a fantastic gaming experience. The textured rubber grips feel great in hand, the buttons and sticks are responsive, and the battery life is impressive. Setup on Xbox and PC was seamless. The only caveat is the price — but if you’re serious about your gaming, this controller is a worthy investment. Highly recommend.

I've had this for a little now and its been really good.

Love these controllers but despise the fact that the common issues have still not been addressed. Left bumper has failed me on 4 of these controllers. Battery life is excellent, weight is great, paddles and customizability is fantastic. Just the freaking bumpers that always seem to crap out. Oh and stick drift has always been a problem. Given the price and the fact that pretty much everything else about it is solid, I would expect the bumpers to hold up better.

What can I say this controller is the GOAT of controllers, never had any stick drift issues, the battery last weeks if not months no issue and I'm a heavy gamer. Well built and cant take a good fall or two. connectivity is not a issue with this controller and I connect it to multiple devices and it always works. I cant see MS coming out with a 3 sine this one hits all the check marks TBH.

Great controller overall. If you overuse L1/R1 it can stop working with usual pressure. I have had to return 3 now for the same issue. Pros: paddles allow you to keep your thumbs on the sticks at all times and ease of use on non shooters Rechargable, good battery life Cons: L1/R1 issue

Best controller for ur buck good grip good playing experience

Honesty debated for months over this purchase. Finally made it and don’t regret it. The quality is clear and the weight and paddles take time to get used to but it’s more than worth it.

Xbox has always had my favorite controllers, and the Elites are the best of all of them. Love it.

This is a real game changer when it comes to customization and when in game. The interchangeable thumb grips and paddles makes it to were I can’t go back to the original controller

This is a fantastic controller. I recently upgraded from having the base controllers and I am very happy with the built in battery that keeps me from either blowing through batteries or buying a battery pack and forgetting to charge the batteries. The controller feels very solid and well made in hand and the textured grip is awesome for when I get Sweaty hands

I have a pc and a ps5. The reason why that is important is because the ps5 controller dies really fast and has rough support on pc BUT the elite 2 controller has a really long battery life, so much so that i forget it needs to charge. It also interfaces seamlessly with my computer and has plenty of customability with profules for whatever game i am playing at the time

Very good controller. To me its yhe standard to measure against. My only complaint is that over time and continuous use the padding on the sticks wear doen

Love this controller I’ve had a lot of fun with it and ever since I bought one I can’t go back to just a regular controller. This is my second one and I was sad when I broke my other one and happy to be able to get a new one and it’s even my favorite color. The controller itself is amazing and feels great to hold. The controls are customizable and the paddles definitely give me an edge over my opponents. I highly recommend buying this controller if you want quality for a good price it’s definitely worth the cost.

very solid. comfy. works well, joysticks and buttons feel very solid!

I knew I needed a rechargeable, wireless controller for upcoming Xbox games I wanted to play, but I was skeptical of the value with a $129 controller... however, I finally bit the bullet and dove in, and I am glad I did. This is an excellent, responsive controller, and it doesn't get much better than this. I love the style, feel and ability to configure it, and it feels natural and light when playing for extended sessions.

This controller has been through hell with the amount of times it has been dropped, but I still have no stick drift and it works amazing. The feel of the controller in your hands is equivalent if not better than a scuff controller. If you are debating between an Elite controller vs a Scuff, definitely buy this because a scuff controller will get stick drift after 2-3 drops, and is very fragile. For reference I have really huge hands and it doesn’t seem to effect the feel of the controller in my hand at all.

Awesome controller, I highly recommend for those who play on Xbox or PC. I had the original Elite Series 2 controller, but it broke so I used my Total Tech membership to get a replacement and decided to get the Core (Since I already had the case and buttons). Love the color tone of the core. It's important to note that this controller is great if you're replacing an older one or don't need the paddles. But the weight and grip make it worth it.
