Customer Ratings & Reviews

The control is very comfortable and very, very good to use to play. I recommend recommended.

I was really skeptical about purchasing an Xbox controller that retails for over twice the price of the standard one that comes with the one in the box, but I’m glad I did. Some reviews point out that stick drift is an issue with these, and luckily for me that issue hasn’t arisen for me yet (knock on wood). Once you get used to the feel of the Elite Series, you will fall in love. The texturized rubber handles help ensure you never lose your grip mid-session. Adjusting the resistance of the thumbsticks couldn’t be easier, same goes with the triggers. I love being able to choose the color of the Xbox logo that sits atop the controller, as simple as it may be. Three different presets lets you swap between different layouts and color combinations on the fly. My only gripe with this is of course the lack of hall-effect joysticks, and the D-pad. If you’re like me and are tough on your controllers by forcefully mashing buttons during intense situations, you may find that this controller is a deal breaker. The D-pad will come off way too easily. I debated purchasing the more expensive version of the Elite Series 2, but I’m glad I cheaped out. If I ever find that I do need the extra accessories, they’re just a $50 purchase away. Not to mention the nice colors you can choose from when it comes to the Core iteration. Give it a shot, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

This is my second elite controller the first had issues with the bumpers, I’ve had the second for two years now and the only issues are stick drift but you can fix that with the advanced settings.

Best Buy offered the best deal I could find for the Elite 2 controller. I appreciate its heavier and more durable feel compared to the regular controller. The attempt to fix the grip issue and the switch to USB-C are also positives. However, it would be even better with hall effect or a similar feature to prevent stick drift. It's worth noting that these controllers came out before hall effect joysticks became more common. Perhaps this is something they will consider for the Elite 3 design improvements.

If youre accustomed to the xbox controller, you'll feel right at home here. It includes all the ergonomics youve come to enjoy over the years, but includes all the bells and whistles. Controller is sturdy, weighty, and feels premium in thr metal and matte materials. The hair triggers are an especially useful tool for serious FPS players. Highly recommend.

I really like this remote because of the paddles on the back. I learned and used them for about a year and I got extremely used to them. I never want to use a different remote ever again lol. I also love the fact that you can change the color of the xbox logo. The remote has lots of aftermarket support and customization parts that really make the controller feel unique to its user. Lastly, I enjoy being able to wirelessly connect this to my PC and have it work like connecting to an xbox. My gripes are that the controller is noticeably heavier and a bit bigger than a regular xbox remote, which doesn’t matter to most people, but I prefer the small and lightweight feel the stock series x remote has. I appreciate the ease Microsoft has made taking off and swapping the joysticks and D-Pad but it comes at the price of them being too loose and flying off of the controller if you’re aggressive/panic or drop the remote.

The Xbox Elite Series 2 controller stands as a pinnacle of gaming craftsmanship. Its ergonomic design, replete with customizable components, elevates the gaming experience to new heights. The textured grips provide a tactile reassurance, and the adjustable tension thumbsticks offer unparalleled precision. The wealth of programmable buttons and hair-trigger locks grant players an edge in any virtual realm. Though a premium investment, the Elite Series 2 proves itself a testament to innovation and quality, redefining the standards for gaming controllers.

I love the battery life on this controller and customization for the games I play

Great Controller, Fast Connection to console or other device (I use it on my Steam Deck). Very customizable, Very comfortable. No Stick Drift.

The package came at a different address a couple houses away but it was alright since this controller exceeded my expectations, the grip feels nice on my hands and the controller overal seems to be pretty durable. I found some troubles with the button mappings on the controller but that was just because there are many options and different customizations available. If your looking to buy this controller I’d say you should and it is worth the price!

I love it works great for every game I want to play it feels great in my hands I don't have to stress out I can just not have to deal with what you normally have to deal with with a regular controller this control is unique it has its own personal customization feature to it so I would definitely get this and I know it's 180 bucks but it's worth it

this pro controller for xbox is amazing. i have the pro controller for playstation so it only right for me to do the same thing with xbox and since out of the box, i love it! especially with the cool features it comes with!

Great product, durable lasts a long time. Only repurchased to to my kid slamming my controller on the ground cause he thought it would be funny, happened to mess up the whole left side of the controller function

Best controller on the market, aside from the fact that you will still get stick drift and stuck bumpers and buttons.

I own 10 various xbox controllers including 3rd party "pro-style" controllers with buttons on the back. While many of them are good, non hold a candle to the elite 2 for pure comfort and performance. I think it's the perfect weight and just feels right. I do recommend getting the warranty as i did wear one out in about 22 months (hundreds of hours of Halo infinite) but the 2 year warranty i added at time of purchase was seemless to use. Just brought my old one in and walked out with a new one. For competitive play it's a must-buy.

I love this controller! It’s my go to when I game. It’s a little smaller to me, which is important. Because I have tiny hands! The grip has a nice feel to it. Only thing I don’t like about this controller is my RB sometimes does not work. As well as the joint sticks can get stick drift. Make sure to get the warranty.

The controller is an absolute upgrade over a regular controller. I like the weight to it, also the trigger locks and other characteristics it has. But, be warned, buy a warranty for it. After awhile, like all Cbox controllers you get stick drift or buttons that dont work.

It’s got 4 additional buttons on the back you can re-map any buttons to make your gameplay that much more comfortable, you can adjust triggers to stop sooner if you want a quicker trigger finger. You can make the sticks stiffer to help combat drift sticks. You can also swap out the traditional D pad to the Omni pad (magnetic btw), and it’s equipped with silicon grips so it’s that much more comfortable in your hand. I honestly won’t be playing on any other controller. I forgot to mention, if you’re playing different games with different action controls (like Call of Duty vs Assassins Creed) you can set it up to make the paddles/buttons on the back have different “profiles” so you don’t get too confused about what buttons to press, just remember to switch back to the other button profiles when switching games (when necessary)

I’ve tried a dozen different Xbox controllers and this is one of my favorite. They discontinued the last controller that I fell in love with, and this has filled the void. Easy to acquire and works fantastic.

I purchased this controller for Cold War and to be honest I love the quality of the controller but the buttons feel cheaper but other then that the paddles feel great and has a good grip on your hands
