Customer Ratings & Reviews

Controller works great but noticed the buttons were lower quality than the elite series 2 controller I got from Microsoft.com

Had the controller for 6 months, worked great, then R1 stopped being responsive. Now it takes a huge amount of force for it to register. Overall, the gamepad is ok, but besides the materials i think a regular series controller is better than this.

This is an incredible controller,feel amazing, affordable,and 40 hour charge makes this the best gift to yourself and others.

The device was not functioning by any means the whole left side was dead. But that’s to Best Buy I got my money back the next day great service but hope that the open box stuff gets tested better and actually deemed fit for resell

Best controller I've had so far. like the ability to use on multiple machines.

Paddles work great. Serve a great purpose! Customizable

I like it. Recommend you getting a case to keep all the pieces in check. If controller is dropped all the pieces fly off.

I went back and forth with the scuf instinct pro. Ended up with this since I like to be able to take off the paddles. The scuf paddles are great if you use them all the time, but for certain games I like the option. Also the software is really good, gives you options. The built in battery is overlooked but I find it extremely useful and never have to think about it. Really good value for money if you can grab it on sale.

I’m using this controller for Steam gameplay on the PC. Works really well and I’ve had no issues.

The Xbox Elite Series 2 controller is hands down one of the best gamepads on the market, offering an impressive mix of performance, customization, and premium build quality. Designed for serious gamers, it brings pro-level features that go well beyond what you get with a standard Xbox controller.

This controller is fantastic in just about every way. Lots of customization and fine tuning. I won’t go into the details, because anyone can research how much you can do with these great controllers. This controller is weighty, compared to the Xbox elite one, it feels about 50% heavier. I like it and have no issues, it makes it feel sturdy. I have yet to have issues with any rubber coming off like the Xbox elite one, so that is a great improvement too. The bad news is: I have had to replace about 3 of these controllers already! For me, the right bumper keeps becoming sensitive and double pressing. Eventually, it will stop working altogether, especially if you press harder on it. I believe it is a manufacturer defect (happens after a few months of everyday use). I’ve tried cleaning it with some success, but it still comes back. I highly suggest getting the replacement plan if you want to have this controller for a long time. Although I had to buy a second so that I would have no down time in between returning and ordering a new one (they are almost always out of stock at my BB store). TLDR; Buy this controller if you game a lot, but know that the bumpers (or other buttons may fail after a few months). Get the replacement plan option OR use Microsoft’s new 1 year replacement plan and expect to wait about 2 WEEKS to get a new controller. The warranty use to be 90 days, currently it is now 1 year!

I do not use it enough to justify buying it but it is a great controller. Customizing the length of pull on the triggers is nice and the paddles on the back are great as well. Comes with a lot of ways to adjust the controller to fit your hand the way you want it. Bottom 2 paddles get in the way of my hands sometimes so I do not use those for the most part.

While I love how clean this looks in the white color, I love the feel of this second generation. I didn’t necessarily need the paddles in the back and I already had a charging solution so I didn’t mind just getting the core version.

Love these controllers. The ability to set hot keys with the back toggles and preset up to 3 hot keys for different games/characters in games, comes in handy

It is defiantly an upgrade from the last elite controller as well I like the white and black color pattern, and it feel a bit more responsive from the first elite controller. very good grip

Great controller easy to connect and i like the extra paddles to customize the buttons

I own many Xbox Elite controllers I've had my own from the Xbox Design Labs I've actually bought core controllers in the store and then turn them into what I wanted afterward I bought in several of these it's just some may show up on my phone some might not to this day I haven't had one break on me not one except for the first one I ever bought which was on Amazon which proves my point about quality control and also Microsoft got a lot better making them because I used to get them direct from the Microsoft store and the version ones they just were not that great I mean it's a matter of preference what style you like I like this and prefer it to the dual Sense Edge for sure most comfortable gaming controller I use it when I game on other devices as well

This is the best controller on the market that isn't the full Elite Series 2. I have one of those that's out of warranty which has issues with the bumpers, so I picked this up as a cheaper replacement. Since I already have the full Series 2 system, this is all I need. Very comfortable, easy setup, works great.

I love this controller, it's one of the best out to a point. If your a hardcore gamer get the 2 year warranty. This controller will get stick drift, button. With all that i still love this controller.
