Customer Ratings & Reviews

Pretty good; I like that I can adjust the trigger pressure so that I barely have to tap it for it to press. Sometimes it lags, this may be due to the bluetooth connection. I use it with my PC, so that might be why ? otherwise, great controller

This is 100% better than the elite 1 hands down with the additional trigger stops and just the feel. USB-C is a great addition but controller drift is beyond frustrating. Elite 1 had the bumpers break but never drift. I'd love to buy again but if drift starts I suggest returning. I will say I am very happy Microsoft is attempting to support the more serious gamers but this happened within weeks of purchase.

Great item and quality. Comes with everhthing it needs and easy program and change settings.

This controller feels great in the hand, has excellent features (hair triggers and custom profiles) and excellent accessories but has one massive dealbreaker. It won’t register 1 out of every 5-10 button presses. Initially I thought it was my fault. “Maybe I’m still acclimating to the new controller and not pressing the button properly”. I know that’s a stupid thought but when you buy a $100+ controller, surely that can’t be the source of the problem. Well, it is. Google it. You’ll see it’s widespread and there’s no fix. Microsoft support will tell you to update the controller firmware. That’s nice but never once had that made the problem less noticeable. If you bought directly from the Microsoft store you’ll be able to send it back to them for a warranty replacement. That’s good I guess.. but should there really be so many forum posts about replacing $100 peripheral? Ok, so how bad is a few missed key presses? Do you play shooters? Imagine doing everything right and taking your time to set up an ambush only to get wrecked because your controller literally said “ lol what?” My recommendation, skip this altogether and spend money on a ps4 or xb1 controller and use them with the usb cable. They’re lightweight, familiar in the hand and they’ll listen to you.

this controller speaks for its self , in others words amazing!

Love it! Best in the business! This is the only type of controller that I use now!

I love the elite controller for the padles and different varients thump sticks.

Makes gaming better. The adjustable trigger travel makes this controller ideal for FPS games and the grips are very comfortable. I did have the typical sticky A button issue but after a day of game play the issue resolved itself

This controller is a BIG improvement over the first gen Elite Controller!! The buttons are more heavy duty and it just feels better in the hands. I've owned quite a few Elite Series Controllers and have had to replace every one on a regular basis. Either the plug would go bad and the controller wouldnt charge, or the buttons underneath would quickly get nullified and didnt click like a button should. Ghosting was a big issue on the Elite Controller as well. The Elite Series 2 Controller has real button actuation and the ghosting is negligible. Those buttons underneath the controller are so much better than before and the cord input is also a big Improvement. I would recommend this controller over any other modded controller out. I actually have 2 of these controllers, one of which I have had for going on 3 months or so how and everything still works as it should.

Normally these controllers work fine but as of late I've had issues with two I've purchased. Both were brand new but where can you get a controller even close to this and it not effect your gaming

Love this controller! My son had spent more money on other types like a scuff controller and it broke in a few months this is a great purchase for competitive gaming!

Very good controller my son absolutely loves the series. We wouldn’t buy anything else.

Cant go back to the normal controller after using this. Way more comfortable and better than the stock controller in every way.

Finally upgrade after buying a controller every year or so. This one has by far lasted then regular ones.

Love the feel of the controller, a good bit heavier than the standard ones. Rear paddles take time getting used to, but are helpful.

With every penny if your looking for an advantage against the competition

This controller is the best bang for your buck. Wonderful on pc and xbox! Great weight and customization in paddle selection.

Awsome controller love the white color and the built in battery on these controllers

Core Elite Red is beautiful. Love the red cord as well. Do not use the paddles. Love the app to customize every button. Makes a difference.

Bought for my wife. She loves it. She doesn't seem to have any of the issues that some reviewers were experiencing. But time will tell I guess.
