Customer Ratings & Reviews

I probably used my elite 1 everyday 3-4 hours. 2+ years without a problem. So far 1 month in, it feels like the 2 is the same type of quality controller with some better features. Like thumb stick tension control and a built in battery that with my daily use last well over a week. So far so good worth the money if I go 2-3 years again.

This controller is great for the longest time I swore I’d never spend this much on a controller…it’s worth it! It feels amazing in the hands-very textured and has a great weight!

I got this to replace my Elite Series 2. Ive had the series 2 for over 2 years and its just wore out. The core is great because I already have rhe paddles. I hope I get another 2 years out of this contoller. Loving it so far!

Its a great purchase, the controller has a great grip and the buttons feels so smooth. It really gives you a better game experience. Im already thinking of buying a 2nd one for sure.

It’s been holding up great. Hard gaming every day. Has also been dropped and not a break yet.

I absolutely love the xbox elite gen 2 controller! Probably the best controller I've ever used, easy to modify and remapping is a breeze!

The controller feels great in hands and the charge lasts a long time.

This is my second one because my first one stopped working. The sticks aren’t stiff enough as far as I’m concerned. They need to make a joystick that operates with either thumbs on glass or sticks in cement. Until then I’ll never be completely happy with controllers.

This is my 3rd defective controller. My first one lasted 5 months and the right trigger started grinding and not pressing correctly, I had that one sent to microsoft since I purchased my first one through them, and am waiting for it to be fixed. I just bought another one through best buy, and when I recieved it in the mail, the controller sounded like it had broken bits of plastic inside moving around, So today it was exchanged but they only had red, so I had to pay 11+ dollars extra for the difference just to get an exchange. Geek squad checked the new controller to confirm it was a good one without problems. When I tried it at home the joysticks sound like there is sticky residue inside them, and when I press down on the joysticks and rotate them, they get stopped in rotation by some internal defect that doesn't allow them to rotate as they should, and when I use the left one and aim to the bottom left side and try to click in, it simply will not press in. These controllers are plagued with defects right out of the box, with zero quality control what so ever, and even geek squad missed this defect and said it was a good controller. I will be returning this product plus the 2 year extended warranty I bought for it, which is needed for these controllers because they WILL break eventually if not already defective right out of the box. $130 for the white one, $140 for the colored ones. an xbox series s is 250$ This controller is half the cost of a CONSOLE, yet has the worst quality control I have ever seen at 37 years old, and gaming since I was a kid. If you get a defective controller, don't let Microsoft get away with it, return it immediatly. It is the only way Microsoft will learn that all these returns will push Microsoft to want better quality control.

What can i day its a nice upgrade from the standard. Is it worth the price ehh not so much.

The elite series 2 controller is fantastic. I will never go back to another controller. The only problem with these is that they break down easily. An example of this is the bumpers just stop working. Definitely an item to get geek squad protection on as they will replace it for you.

Love the elite controllers. Never had issues with them breaking. I personally like that you can configure the paddles to your liking.

Once you use this controller, you'll never want to go back to any other regular controller again. Very high quality and the rechargeable battery lasts an unbelievable amount of time. I have only had to charge it once since buying it 3 months ago. It does take some getting use to with the added pedal buttons.

Good improvement with the battery and Bluetooth. As far as “physical” upgrades go, if your gen 1 Elite controller is still performing well, then keep using it. This is for those who need to replace their gen 1 or for those who are looking into getting an Elite controller for the first time.

Great controller for the price i paid. Would suggest this for Xbox users. Much better than a normal xbox controller

Bought it new from Bestbuy, mine was scuffed up. It’s quite disappointing that a controller at this cost isn’t perfect upon unboxing. It did feel nice in my hands, that’s why I gave it 2 stars instead of 1. But disappointed how it looks. Nothing special about spending 3x the cost of a normal controller, unless you’re a sweaty gamer that needs the paddles, but even then better options are available.

Great controller. It was a great upgrade from the basic controller.

The paddles are great for customizing from game to game, having three different presets you can setip any way youd like its awesome. If you’re looking for that step up in gaming, this is for you.

This is a hard. I love the controller and its amenities, but the controller doesn't last long from drifting, but best buy offer geek squad warranty which i love and use often on this controller.

This controller is great for the xbox. Has multiple button settings which comes in handy if you want to change what each button does but the game doesnt allow it.
