Customer Ratings & Reviews

Definitely a sturdier and better feeling version of the Elite Controller than its predecessor, but these controllers still do tend towards defects and issues. You will not regret getting this controller, it's incredible, but you will regret not getting it with a replacement plan. Do yourself a favor and experience this amazing controller with the peace of mind of knowing that if something happens you can replace it.

Fantastic controller. Holds up great to frequent use.

Would be great if it came with a tall rounded or non grippy stick. Its very heavy, which some ppl find as a positive but the thing is a brick imo. Bumper switches feel way worse than the oem and the paddles are cool and will definitely improve response times in gaming but the integrated ones on the scuff or turlte beach are way more comfortable for everyday gaming.

Best Controller for Xbox by far just make sure to get insurance because the Series 2 does experience RB button failure.

Very good price for a good controller good grip adjustable thumb sticks and they are strong magnet you can switch out with good trigger stoppers

Definitely the controller I've been looking for very versatile quick to change out and modify extremely easy to use and light

I play on PC and absolutely love this controller, customizable and comfortable.

Microsoft Elite Series 2 Wireless controller for Xbox Series X is an awesome upgrade to your system

I don’t know what else to say other than, I really like it. The button feel, weight, responsiveness… this controller works extremely well and I have used nothing else since.

This controller is better than the default Xbox controller in every way. The paddles are great if you have finger/thumb issues like I do. There are basically no good wireless aftermarket options outside of this; the Scuf controller is wireless, but it runs on AA batteries, which I don't want to deal with.

I was umm skeptical that a controller costing this much would feel like it was worth the scratch. I'm a enjoy the game at my own pace kind of gamer. So buy a controller like this? Well it's just better quality for one. Being able to shorten the top triggers is a great feature for when you need to button bash through a boss fight. I've only had this controller a month so I can't speak for it's longevity but so far I'm happy I invested.

Got this controller after owning elite 1, lived up to expectations and more! Really comfortable and has a nice grip, strong also!

For the amount of options and things you can do with this controller, I personally enjoy it compared to the typical regular Xbox controller a person can get. Me personally however, I waited for when there was a sale going on for Best Buy, or if there was an open box version available

If you like the classic feel of Xbox controllers with an upgraded feel, then the Elite 2 is for you. Though the warranty plan is recommended as most times these do start wearing out.

Best controller out there especially at a perfect price

Works great! It has an amazing battery life, and a comfortable grip. I can't wait to use this for my Xbox Series X!

The controller worked great, and the paddles on the back were able to work with rebinding native keys, but with the default configuration I was also able to use Steam controller configuration to rebind keyboard and mouse keys to the controller. It had everything I wanted, and it handles very well. But, after about 6 months of use, the right bumper broke, and because I didn't purchase a protection plan I now have to repair it on my own, or just deal with a broken button. I read reviews online about "just rebind the RB to one of the paddles," but come on, no one wants a broken button, and it shouldn't have broken this soon in the first place. I read online that this was a problem with the series one controller, and apparently it hasn't been fixed in the series two. If you buy this, make sure to get the protection plan, because chances are your bumpers are going to break. Other than the bumpers, I've had no problems with the controller.

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.

I love this Xbox Elite controller. It’s high quality and has a great feel when playing games.

Sucks that Microsoft still makes you purchase battery paks for controllers. This is where they fall short in the console wars. However, this was an impulse buy, dang it microsoft. But it is a very good controller. It feels premium and it comes with a charge base. All controllers should be double a battery free at this point. But still, all in all, its worth it.
