Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my fourth Microsoft Elite controller I have owned. All have been purchased from Best Buy. I always purchase the extended warranty because they always seem to develop hardware issues. The controller itself has an excellent feel and performs well. Unfortunately for me, they seem to have a fully functional life of about one year before needing replacement. Its very disappointing for a high quality item like this to have continuing issues!

Easy to handle. You can customize. Great control..

Probably one of the best controllers out there, and to be honest it’s good. I give it 4 stars for the feel, look, and all the attachments and functions it’s has. The only con is the drift after so many uses. But I’d still recommend this to anyone who uses controller

The Elite Series 2 is an amazing controller. The adjustment and customization lets you dial in the controller for each game and your personal play style.

Love these controllers makes life so much better when gaming

Great controller I will highly recommend it has a good grip and good weight 

Feels smooth and holds good while playing video games.

really quality controller - love the grips on the handle and the swappable pieces are so easy to switch. also love the internal battery rather than having to switch batteries out. You really feel the step up in quality from the base model to this one.

A good upgrade from the ones I had like the way they feel in the hand I like everything about them they are definitely worth the upgrade

Quite a nice sturdy feeling controller. It weighs quite a bit more than a normal Xbox controller as it has a built in battery and is just made of heavier stuff. I wish the built in battery was removable as I play wired. All in all if a heavy controller doesn’t bother you I would get it. Swing for the complete set if you can core is nice but having all the extras would complete it.

Unsurpassed customization and battery life The trigger locks and adjustable stick tension make this the best controls for FPS style games.

Excellent controller compared to the one that comes with the XBOX. I’m not a hardcore gamer and probably won’t use it to its full capabilities, but the way it feels in your hand due to the weight and the smoothness of the controls; makes it a great purchase.

I love this controller! It's changed how I play and I'm getting better. Feels really good in your hands and durable for sure.

Husband loved the color and elite controllers are so limited on colors, we were excited to get red.

Premium quality controller. Definitely worth the price even if you’re coming from the first elite controller. A lot more customization options

My son loves his controller, he puts many hours on it and the controller is very durable

Durability is a problem. Bumpers and sticks tend to be the first thing to go. However I do think while it is new it is one of the best controllers on the market.

By no fault of best buy, xbox has this overpriced even for what it can do. The functions are unnecessary.

Bought and works great this is a extra controller just in case but love it either way

This is a solid controller, but I wouldn't say elite. There is a little bit of drift on the right thumbs tick. This can be reduced through the Xbox Accessory App. but from what reviews I have read, this is a fairly normal issue with these controllers. I would say it is worth the Black Friday $100 price point but would recommend going a different way at higher retails.
