Customer Ratings & Reviews

Didn't want the elite controller, because I have no need for the paddles. Being able to change the triggers and stick is amazing. Can also create different modes based on the current game you're playing. So if you dont mind the less equipment this controller comes with compared to the black elite controller. Its an Excellent!! Purchase!

The Red Elite 2 controller is a game-changer in every sense. From the moment you hold it, you can feel the premium build quality and attention to detail. The customizable options allow for a tailored experience, whether you're a competitive gamer or just looking for more comfort and precision. The trigger stops and adjustable thumbsticks make gameplay smoother, while the additional paddles provide quick access to commands without missing a beat. Battery life is solid, and the grip is comfortable even during long sessions. It’s clear that a lot of thought went into making this controller durable and reliable. If you're serious about your gaming, the Red Elite 2 is a worthy investment.

Best xbox controller! I liked how it's ergonomically design and they have the best colors!

Super solid controller. Built well and has a good, quality, weighty feel to the controller. The accessories that come with it are great, as I love a more traditional D-Pad style instead of the default circle D-pad. My only minor complaint is sometimes the buttons can seem a bit mushy, but nothing that causes a lower star count. Reccomend this!

I’ve been using the Xbox Elite Series 2 Core controller for a while now, and it’s honestly a game-changer. Customizable buttons are the greatest. The ability to swap out thumbsticks and adjust the trigger sensitivity also help a lot. It feels solid and substantial in your hands. The battery life, is a huge plus—no need to constantly charge it (though I usually do). It also survived a bluberry beer spill almost immediately after unboxing. Bonus. The only downside I've found is the price, which is why I took so long to buy one.

Amazing product love this controller ,best one I’ve owned in years

Love it, works great and is super comfortable. Highly recommend

I am not a professional gamer. I picked this up because they didn't have any other controllers in stock. I didn't think much of this controller until I played around with it a bit and started noticing subtleties of ability to configure that made my experience more reactive and more involved or immersive. I didn't know the thumbsticks were magnetic and I didn't know that you could turn them left or turn them right to tighten up or loosen up the control of the stick which is pretty cool. The ability to select the trigger depth for quicker reaction is fun although I found I kept going back to not putting any tension on the trigger because it was just more comfortable to me. My only complaint is the design of the controller itself I feel that the black nubby grip sides should be a little bit longer I find after a few hours of gaming that I don't like the grip compared to the PlayStation experience. I don't agree that the price point should be $200, I think 125 would suffice but I don't know. I didn't realize until I bought this that this is not a removable battery type wireless charger, it's a Lithium-Ion rechargeable so you get eight solid hours of gameplay off this thing without having to recharge it. Compared to having to put batteries in your controller every so often, I love this lithium ion battery option. PlayStation gives you that by default but again subtleties here.

The Microsoft Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller for Xbox is an exceptional piece of gaming hardware that stands out for its customizable features and superior performance. With adjustable tension thumbsticks, shorter hair trigger locks, and a wrap-around rubberized grip, this controller offers enhanced precision and control. The rechargeable battery ensures up to 40 hours of gameplay, and the swappable components allow for a personalized gaming experience tailored to your style. Bluetooth connectivity and a durable carrying case add to its versatility, making it a worthwhile investment for serious gamers seeking a competitive edge.

I’ve been very happy with this controller, it is a massive upgrade over the Xbox one controller and works very nicely with my ROG Ally. I bought mine refurbished, and have had no issues with it. The battery life and condition are both excellent. I would recommend getting the paddles for the back from a third party, as it does improve the overall experience.

Excellent controller, switched to this controller and I’ve never played better ordered it a good while back and I’m still using it I usually get stick drift by now but I haven’t gotten it. 10/10

Very capable peripheral. Comfortable to hold, and the placement of the paddles feels natural to my grip. The connectivity options, settings app and battery are amongst my favourite features. It feels durable. My criticisms would be #1 price. In my opinion Microsoft aren’t the only guilty ones but the whole Controller market is quite messed up with their prices. A regular controller $60-70? So you buy 4 of them and you are essentially almost buying another console… No controller should cost +$150, it doesn’t matter how many features they have. Personally, 100-120 is a more proper price for a controller of this caliber, though. #2 Why aren’t you giving me the wireless USB receiver included? Add $10 to the total value if you want, but you are already giving me almost the whole set, just add the receiver to the bundle for the next gen. #3 $25 for a USB wireless receiver is stupid… there is just no way that little piece of plastic costs that much. #4 In my case, off the box, I was getting way too much input delay. I managed to lower it through the Xbox app settings to the point where it feels as instant as my old DS4 controller. It is annoying though. After doing a lot of research, apparently it turns out that Xbox controllers in average have higher input delay than PlayStation controllers on PC off the box. This shouldn’t be a thing, especially with a +$150 “pro elite” controller. Because of this last issue, for the whole first week of use I was thinking about returning it. I was close to returning it but the other features were so good they made me want to find a workaround or something that it would help me lower the input delay. In the end I kind of found my answer through the accessories app. Currently I’m happy with the controller. Not sure if I would recommend though. If you can afford it, just because of all the cool features give it a shot and if you don’t like how it feels in game then return it.

It’s a beautiful controller. It plays wonderfully. Nice and strong and easy to use!

Great controller and amazing feel. The controller has good connectivity

Controller is awesome especially for the price. I personally got a custom face cover to match my Xbox and it just works the best for me.

Amazing controller, gives me a slight edge with cross play. This is my 4th and I will continue to buy them from Best Buy with geek squad warranty

The customization is amazing. Feels sturdy, substantial.

Very sturdy and robust controller, a long lasting controller as well,l have had another one for over a year and only within the last month did it start getting stick drift and that's me using it everyday for long periods. Highly recommend this controller to those who are serious about their gaming and that want a controller that's long lasting.

Great controller, works right out of the box. Buttons are nice.

Best elite controller I ever owned. I ordered this for my laptop. I hooked it up on my laptop and configured the setting on steam. It works very well. I am satisfied with this controller!
