Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love the extra grip and buttons. Although after a couple months using the remote, either the left joystick or right bumper would begin malfunctioning. Best to put a warranty on it just in case this happens.

I originally bought this controller on a whim (I had a rewards certificate that was going to expire). I was originally a Playstation controller person stretching back to my PS2 as a kid, but I'm in love with the elite. The extra weight of the controller was a bit weird at first but now other controllers seem like a cheap toy in comparison. This is high quality and can take a beating as it travels with me. One word of caution: Use the included case if you're traveling with it. Because the D-pad and analog sticks are hot-swappable that means they're also removable. The analog sticks especially can and WILL fall off if you just throw this in a backpack or something. It comes with a really nice case, so just use that. I don't like the paddle buttons in the back but that's okay because you can take them off. Very happy with this purchase and I'll get another one or an Elite 3 when the time comes to replace it.

Amazing controller! The custom button remapping and rear button paddles are worth it alone if you like playing games with a controller on PC, an Xbox One or Series X/S. I map most game's crouch and jump buttons to the right paddles so my thumb doesn't need to leave the thumbstick and stop aiming to perform those actions. Just be wary of any paddle mappings that are buttons that can delete characters like the X button in Destiny 2. I've heard one too many stories of people setting their Elite on their lap or on some junk on a coffee table and a paddle was pressed in for the "delete character" command, and they accidentally pressed the confirm paddle button when picking up the controller. Aside from that, the trigger stops are nice to give your index fingers a bit of a rest for repetitive trigger pulls, and with custom remapping, you can tweak your button layout in most games to emulate the layout of your favorite games. I've heard stories of some people's controllers wearing down bumper buttons faster than others, but so far, my first Elite series 2 lasted almost 2 years before the bumper wore down and I needed to replace it. Far better than the usual 6-9 months of the Elite series 1. The GSP protection is a livesaver, though not as cheap of a plan when they were first released. The 2-year warranty is currently $60, which is the cost of a normal controller to replace what would be this luxury $180 controller. I really hope we see a day where custom remapping and horizontally aligned back paddles become the norm and not a luxury. But for the time being, this is my favorite controller of all time.

really good it doesnt make ur hands sweat and has no problem connecting to pc

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

I've been using the Elite controller since it's first iteration and they never disappoint. The only reason I needed a new one is because I made the mistake of letting my son use the other and he raged in Fortnite and slammed it on the desk.

This is a very good controller very good price easier to use

Overall the elite series have been a better choice for xbox only thing i wish they would change is the joysticks to the new magnetic ones to stop the terrible stick drift problem that all console makers have

The things you can do with this controller are awesome. Extra button mapping vibration turned off or to your liking. Can even change the color on the Xbox logo at ease Have 4 different button mapped set ups all at the click of a button

Great controller, Exchangeable buttons, paddles and sensitivity curve

The controller is comfortable compared to its general counterpart. The grip to hold the controller feels out of this world and helps with never having to worry about dropping the controller mid game. The addition to add or remove the control pad is great plus when I feel the need to play a certain game to my desire. Most of the time when I do add the feature of the control pad to have more use for directional adjustments is for when I play all my fighting games, making that much more enjoyable for me. The battery life is outstanding as well as I had not much of a need to constantly charge it time after time. I just wish the buttons were a bit better as they feel as they would break for those who can be quite competitive in video games.

Love it! Excellent controller and much better than the original. After a year I am starting to get a little stick drift which is annoying

By far the best controller on the market. Battery life is amazing and the grip is perfect.

The controller is great i like the quick profile change and the weight of it. The extra paddles on the back are a nice addtion compared to only having one set on the ps controller.

Been enjoying my Elite 2 controller. Love the weight behind it and the way the joy sticks and paddles feel. I also like being able to adjust the trigger distance when playing first person shooters.

3rd elite controller. This is my 2nd core. After about 18 mos, all xbox controllers experience stick drift if used regularly. This one is no different. The adjustments these allow help diminish the effect over time. Love them and won't use anything else.

Love it! Great feel, magnetic paddles are nice for customizing based on which game I’m playing

Order this item for my piece is great.I love it highly recommend

I got my brother the Microsoft Elite Series 2 controller for Christmas, and it's a good boost. The build quality seems strong and classy, and the adjustable thumbsticks and rear paddles are quite handy for gaming. My brother claims the battery life is also very good. It's a tad expensive, but considering how customizable it is, it's worth it. He loves it, therefore I'd say it was a great gift!

Throw your Scuf controller in the trash. Go for the Elite Series 2…much more nicer and does everything the Scuf does..plus it doesn’t make a $400 paperweight like mine did. GET THE 2 YEAR GEEK SQUAD WARRANTY because you can experience some issues but they will swap it right out.
