Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Red Elite 2 controller is a game-changer in every sense. From the moment you hold it, you can feel the premium build quality and attention to detail. The customizable options allow for a tailored experience, whether you're a competitive gamer or just looking for more comfort and precision. The trigger stops and adjustable thumbsticks make gameplay smoother, while the additional paddles provide quick access to commands without missing a beat. Battery life is solid, and the grip is comfortable even during long sessions. It’s clear that a lot of thought went into making this controller durable and reliable. If you're serious about your gaming, the Red Elite 2 is a worthy investment.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Worth Every Penny – Premium Feel and Performance The Elite Series 2 Core in red is hands-down the best controller I’ve owned. The build quality feels solid, with just the right amount of weight and grip. The adjustable triggers and tension sticks make a big difference, perfect for shooters or racing games. Battery life is solid, and the USB-C charging is a huge upgrade. I use it across my Xbox Series X and PC with zero connection issues. The red color looks even better in person, bold but clean. It’s basically the pro controller experience without having to buy the full Elite kit. Highly recommend for anyone who takes gaming seriously or just wants that premium feel.

I had initially purchased the blue version of this controller and liked it so much that I decided to get the red version because I had spare cash and liked the red color. These are now the primary controllers I use and I only use the regular series x controllers when I have guests over or I want to let these controllers recharge. The paddles make playing many games a lot easier, especially if you play a few competitive multiplayer games. I also like the internal battery and the face that you can also charge the controller and continue to play if you want to. The hair lock triggers also feel nice for people who don't want to use as much force when pulling them, and the settings will mostly be uses for online shooters. These controllers are best for gamers who play a lot of competitive multiplayer games, need a lot of customization in their controller, or people who want a controller that has a long lasting battery life and does not need to be recharged that often. For everyone else, the standard Series X controllers will do just fine.

Cant go wrong best pro controller for xbox just gotta get lucky with the stick drift issue i have had 2 of these with no issues for over 6 months so far so good but I have heard of a lot of issues with stick drift guess its just a lottery but overall solid controller 10 out of 10 paddles are perfect battery life is excellent and theres so many options to customize the sticks and what not if you look online with places like amazon theres a lot of third party options

Amazing controller that I couldn't recommend more. It has a nice heft that I enjoy, easily swappable sticks and D-pad, long lasting battery. I've owned many Elite Series 2 controllers and while I've heard issues with stick drift, I've almost never had any issue aside from me dropping one multiple times. My overall controller pick.

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.

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.

the best thing I ever use. the rubber handles are extremely comfortable. I have a sveaty hands and I was scared that it's gonna be a problem, but it ²²2\22w²²w\we\doesn't, its don't slip, and really comfortable to to hold in hands. I really recommend you to take a full version of this so you can feel all the potential of this controller

Good controller, I’ve been using it for the past 7 months. There is no stick sway and all the buttons are working fine, except the left bumper is having some difficulty. I usually have to press it closer to the right side for it to have any input. Besides that, pretty good upgrade from your standard controller. (The paddles are also really great, they just don’t come with the controller, and not many games on Xbox have compatibility for them.)

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)

Its one of the most sophisticated cutting edge controllers produced by microsoft,excellent proformance overall fully customizable to you're personal tastes,down to the deadzones and vibration of differnt modulals.Interchangable parts ,bigger a bit heavier and durable remote .Other than that I would highly recomend to anyone geting serious into keybinding and comp gaming, but it also works very well for everything else.

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

The X Box Elite Series 2 Core has a very sturdy feel; ergonomically and functionally. Accuracy is improved and the self contained battery has excellent endurance. After buying an Elite Series 2 two (2) months ago, I’ve bought another and this Series 2 Core.

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

I’ve been using the Xbox Elite Series 2 in red, and honestly, it feels amazing. The build quality is solid, the grip is super comfortable, and the customization options make every game more fun. What I love most is how smooth and precise the sticks and triggers feel—it’s like the controller responds exactly how I want. Plus, the red finish looks so good in person. Definitely my favorite controller ever.

The best controller I’ve ever used. You can change the tension on the left and right thumbsticks independently as well as the left and right trigger travel. The grip texture feels secure yet comfortable. FPS and platformer games are more enjoyable with this controller. Playing on a Windows 11 PC. I found a red controller on sale with the Total Membership for $94 which was well worth it considering normal controllers are around $70.

I am very satisfied with this product and have no complaints. I appreciate the level of customization this controller offers, making it easy to use. The weight of the controller is also ideal.

So far this controller has held up better than the battery operated ones. Those kept giving out or not connecting to the Xbox. My son is kinda rough on his things and so far I’m satisfied with the durability. I also got the 2 year coverage just in case.

Since I got the elite controller I never went back to the regular controller, for first person, shooters I use the paddles can’t go back to using the regular buttons on those types of games and it feels good in the hands.

I've used a few of those and there are always problems, but thus far after about a month, this one seems to be having no issues with the bumpers or stick drift
