Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great remote for gaming. No drift. Good size. Recommend.

Better than ever.... so I'm the grandmom for a gamer that just turned 17 on the 4th of December. He absolutely loves this controller and sent me a screen shot saying "I need this". So I certainly know that he researches things awhile before he asks me and he is very happy with it.

My son loves his new controller he enjoys it everyday.

Ive been a fan of the elite controlers for a long time and i am always happy with the feel of it and works as it should.

I like customizing controller and the built quality is solid and nice plus the accessories is well made to fit your hands and your control love the product.

by far one of the best controllers i've owned. I used to play with the PDP xbox controller with the mappable buttons on the back but stick drift on those are the worst after 2 weeks of using. and custom controllers from online such as scuf are too expensive. For the price I got for these, which was the open box-excellent, it felt brand new still and I got it for a steal with the price plus the discounts I got from my points here at bestbuy. so if you were to upgrade your xbox controller, this is the one to go for!! DID I MENTION, there are 3 different button profiles you can save for different types of games??! wish I got it sooner but glad i made the investment on this, LOVE IT!!!

This controller is excellent from the standpoint of functionality, ergonomics, and customizability. It has everything from multiple profiles, customizable triggers, adjustable stick tension, swappable D-Pads, and 2-4 paddles depending on user preference. It's also basically plug and play on PC. Where it falls short is build quality. Despite being quite an expensive controller, it has only a 1 year warranty, which admittedly is up from the 90 days offered on the Elite v1. I have returned 7 of these in the last 4 years - they do not last. Stick drift, sticking triggers, and unresponsive bumpers (typically R1) are the most common issues. I don't think any of them have lasted a full year. They're also the same issues I had on the Elite v1. Given that it's almost a decade since the original Elite was released, I think it's clear the manufacturer isn't willing or able to address the quality control issues. This is underscored by the fact that a bare bones version (the Core) was released without the Series 2 accessories. Presumably this was to offer a lower cost option to people whose controllers had failed, and were out of warranty.

My favorite controller of all time. Great adjustable thumb cushions also responds time it’s fantastic..

Love the design. Ended up buying this one as my original Xbox elite controller was getting old although nothing wrong with it the new controller is great like that the battery is internal however curious on how long the recharge ability will be in the coming years as opposed to swappable batteries

While the Microsoft Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller is an exceptional gaming accessory, there is one aspect that could be improved upon. The controller's premium price point may be a deterrent for some gamers. The higher cost may limit its accessibility to a wider audience, especially those on a tight budget. However, considering the remarkable features and customization options it offers, the Elite Series 2 controller can still be seen as a worthwhile investment for serious gamers who prioritize performance and personalization. Ultimately, while the price may be a drawback for some, the overall quality and features of the controller make it a compelling choice for dedicated gamers.

It’s really good it feels comfortable. I have no issues with it works great. The only problem I had that it doesn’t like work with Bluetooth with my PC but I think I have a bad Bluetooth receiver on my PC so that is not something I have against the controller I plug. It’s a braided wire that comes with it and it works really great. Mind you it is a cheaper version of the elite so it doesn’t come with the back paddle. You have to buy those separately, but I don’t actually use them much so I don’t worry about it.

Worked great for 2 years of constant play . Left joy stick recently got super lose and now I can tighten it . Still works for game play . Overall it’s last longer the other. Controllers I’ve purchased . I plan on purchasing another one .

Instantly you feel the qaulity of this controller! The response on this compared to the regular ones is insane! I noticed just playing NHL22 the response.. Great options as you can have 3 profiles and then the default one. The triggers are awesome! You can customize your sensitivity and comes with a carry case as it should for $180 which is the only CON about this as no controller should cost that.. Now i always wanted this but never wanted to spend the money but the wifey got this as an Xmas gift :) So if you have the money to spend go for it... now probably get the 2 year warranty next week as she didn't buy it but based off my experience on regular controllers might just do so since this is a high end controller...Impressive upgrade from the last one! This is def a GAME CHANGER!!! 40hours of battery life Customized Options INSTANTLY notice the response & quality Easy to swap out buttons Wireless charger Also can charge in carrying case with USB

Battery life is incredible. Improvement over the original in almost every way. Held out as long as I could for a Series 3 because I wanted hall effect thumb sticks. Hopefully stick drift won't be an issue like it was for the first gen.

very solid. comfy. works well, joysticks and buttons feel very solid!

Amazing product, everything you'd expect from a new high dollar controller

I had the elite 1. After many years of use the rubber grips we’re beginning to peel away. I was anxious for an upgrade. So glad I did. It is a fabulous controller. Main reason I jumped was the sale price.

Bought for my fiance for his birthday! He loved it would buy again

Love the controller. Works great with steam on my computer. 100% recommend!

Works well and it’s nice having the interchangeable controls. Kind of expensive compared to other options though.
