Worth the upgrade from the standard xbox controllers

Great overall performance and experience. Would purchase again.

Is this a good controller I recommend buying this controller because you don’t need batteries every time

Owned two now i love the premium feel but at the same time its made cheap my first one got stick drift (when will these multi billion dollar companies start using hall effect) within 3 months and my right bumper stopped working and had cracks all over i think from gripping it to hard as for the one i got from bestbuy its still holding up 7 months later maybe i got unlucky with my first even if they are made cheaply they still have nice features the battery life is very good and the paddles are aswell (i bought some off amazon for cheap) you can re map buttons etc i personally can not go back to a basic controller they feel extra cheap in comparison i recommend the elite core but only on a sale with a warranty

Reliable controller that I’ve had for almost a year now.

My son brought this. He says he likes it and has a good grip. This is the second one he has purchased from Best Buy.

Excellent controller! Super responsive and charges quick. The design pattern is great, the buttons are durable,

Love these remotes just wish Microsoft would’ve fixed the stick drift issues these tend to get. Doesn’t help that I’ve seen break downs of the remote showing the same joystick design in both this premium remote and their basic remotes.

Great controller. Good weight and balance. Enjoy using it.

Works like a charm. Tested with Windows PC, SteamDeck, and NVIDIA shield. Flawless connection. If you want to enable the levers you will have to buy the additional set for the paddles. This is only the controller itself. Works well with small hands, I am somewhat doubtful if this is very comfortable with large hands.

Like the heavy feel. Feels well built and very smooth. Would recommend!

Great controller. Easy to use and very ergonomic. 5 out of 5

One of the greatest controllers on the market for an excellent price.

I love this controller & i love the warranty that best buy offers for it. I only give 4 stars because of little things ive noticed. They do eventually get stick drift but again warranty, & then theres the issue ive had with 3 in a row of the rubber grip starts to peel up after a little while. Another personal gripe is i have big hands & it wouod be nice if the spacing for the paddles was better. It is very difficult to use all 4 with larger hands. Atleast in my experience.

I already had the full kit so this was perfect. Everything I needed at a cheaper price. Works great with my xbox

Great controller great store with great workers❤️❤️

Was a great gift for my dad in Christmas. He loves using it.

Easily the best controller for more competitive gamers. I purchased the Scuf before this, and was quite disappointed after the left joystick started sticking (not drift, just stuck in the down position) within 3 months of purchase. It was also a bit of a pain (and limited) to program the pads. Then I purchased the Elite S2, and what a difference it made. The magnetic, interchangeable joysticks are a breeze to swap (have to take the whole faceplate off the Scuf). The rear pads are programmable through the Xbox UI, offer more combinations to progrsm, and can save up to three independent configurations for different games or styles (a button on the controller lets you flip between the three without having to go through the UI). And the trigger adjustments are quick and easy to adjust on the fly. My only issue with this controller is stick drift, hence the markdown. While it did hold up well for 10-11 months, I had to send it in to Microsoft for a replacement at the 11th month (Best Buy didn't have any at the time). I did get a replacement after a little over a week, but it was equally bad, if not worse within two weeks. Fortunately, Best Buy had a resupply and I was able to get a new one. A near $200 controller should not fail like that in less than a year. I get that nothing lasts forever, but the gimbles should be better quality for a premium controller. That said, the S2 is worth the purchase if you are into more competitive gaming, however, buy the extended warranty. Will definitely be worth it in the long run.

Love it, paddles are a huge help. Been working for over a year now.

They don't sell this anymore, and thank god for that. This came with stick drift.
