Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options, along with its comfortable feel and good weight. However, a significant concern among users is the prevalence of stick drift and issues with button quality, particularly with the bumpers and A button. The price is also a point of hesitation for some.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    Paddles are great, that’s about it

    Paddles are great, long and good material. The case it comes with it’s cool, can hold the extra joysticks and directional buttons. Biggest issue was the accuracy of the joysticks. Very precise not what I’m used too from other controllers.

      Hey there,

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your new Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. We're glad that you're enjoying its paddles and carrying case, too. If it seems like the thumbsticks are too sensitive, you can adjust that sensitivity in the Xbox Accessories app. For more information, go here: https://support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/xbox-accessories-elite-series-2

      Hope that helps,

    Feels good but not reliable. Had to exchange on before 24 hours left stick broke with light use and second exchange had a bad drift out the box. Unfortunate because when it does work fine its great but poorly put together

    Worth the price. Premium controller with back paddles. Comes with replacement parts (buttons, joy sticks, etc). Great for PC games too. Links with xbox on pc and steam very well. My only complaint is that mine didnt come with the replacement back paddles.
