Customer Ratings & Reviews

I really really like the series 2 in every way but this is my 2nd one. Hopefully it doesn't have stick drift like the last one. My series one went through 5 of the first series with same issue. I dont drop or throw controllers. I use them and set them on the charger. At $180 i take care of them! They are the best controllers out there. (When they work). Get the extended warranty. Its totally worth it.

Great Controller, Never given me any issues with FPS Games. Definitely Recommend

Great controller always get the protection plan it’s saved me tons over the years

Best gaming controller. May seem expensive but I’ve bought scuff controllers and they do not seem to last long and fhey cost double the price of these. Love the interchangeable attachments the elite 2 controller comes with, its as if its made to be customizable to fit your gaming needs. 10/10 would recommend to any xbox or PC player

Best Xbox controller hands down. If you’re looking for a new one this is it.

Initially I was pained at the thought of buying a controller for this price. However, once I opened the box it became apparent to me just why the price was high; this controller is bulletproof. Amazing quality of materials, very very comfortable, incredibly customizable. This controller will last you years and years easily. Only downside is that it is not currently compatible with iPad. I stream my PC to my iPad for gaming, and was disappointed as a result. Amazing controller though!

I've been skeptical over the years in paying the hefty price for an elite controller, but finally jumped the gun when they announced the series 2... and I'm glad i did. This controller has great ergonomics and grip texture, along with a plethora of features and settings, including hair trigger settings, multiple sticks, mapping, 4 quadrant vibrating settings, e.t.c. well worth it if you are a competitive gamer. No problems with drifting so far. Love that you can adjust the tension of the sticks as well.. overall, a great product from Microsoft!

Super solid build quality. Love the grippy texture on the handles. Like the ability to add paddles underneath at some point. Also like that you can swap out the magnetic D-Pad and joysticks for different ones. The instant record feature in the middle is great too. This controller was very expensive but worth every penny!

You can feel the quality of the materials used right away when holding this controller in your hands. Premium materials and the weight of the controller makes this the best one I have ever used. The battery life is great and you can plug it in and charge it while playing.

Great quality and feels good in your hands... always been a playstation fanboy until i switched to pc and man the feel of the xbox elite controller is unbeatable

Longtime PlayStation owner here. I decided to get this controller to use on my gaming laptop and I was not disappointed. Makes the PS4 controller look kind of cheap. This controller is built rock solid. It’s heavy, which I like. It is also customizable in so many ways it’s kind of intimidating. Pairing with my laptop wasn’t terribly difficult, but it could have been a little smoother. It works though, and works well.

Can feel the difference. Great upgrade. Definitely recommend.

After a little more than a year, I am still loving my Elite II's, and this is my 3rd purchase that I just bought! Over a year a ago, i bought my first Elite series II Black with the carrying case, charger, and additional thumbsticks. I thought it might be too heavy for continuous gameplay cuz its got some heft compared to my old Xbox 360 controller which is my favorite to use on pc games over my ps3 controller. But after using it for awhile, you do definitely get used to it. In fact, when i tried to use my old controller i now found the 360 controller too light! So 6 months ago, i bought a second one to replace the 360 controller that i had for coop since my friends wanted to use my Elite II. Then recently i bought a Gaming Laptop that of course needed it's own! I needed only the core since i already had 2, so the core purchase worked out well. Plus they are interchangeable with there parts and colors! Would definitely recommend!!

I love this controller! I used to buy the regular xbox controller but the analog sticks would always get really bad stick drick within 2 months of owning it. I would have to keep getting new ones every 2 months. This controller has lasted me over a year before having to get a new one. (They usually go fast because I like competitive game's) So if you are a competitive gamer, I highly recommend this controller! Also the extra buttons are great to have. (Sold separately)

Got a two year warrenty because of stick drift and the plastic on the side disforming. Nothing bad has happened. No drift. Full customization and I got cheap paddles on amazon. No complaints still the best controller to get for $120. Beautifully red.

Overall, the Xbox Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller is a must-have for any gamer looking to elevate their gaming experience."

I’ve always just used the basic Xbox controllers but since playing more lately I decided to upgrade. The quality of the controller is great and worth the price. The customizable aspects of the controller i nice but the only thing I used was the decrease in the trigger pull and tension of the sticks. This controller will absolutely help you up your game especially in FPS games. Using the paddles allows you to keep your thumbs on the joystick at all times.

No issues, works as described, been using it for over a year and works like new

I decided to spoil myself by getting a premium controller. This was an excellent choice. The quality is great. It works really well for online gaming. Highly recommended..

The controller is so comfortable in the hands while gaming and suitable with my big hands and it doesn’t slip off which is very good experience
