Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options, along with its comfortable feel and good weight. However, a significant concern among users is the prevalence of stick drift and issues with button quality, particularly with the bumpers and A button. The price is also a point of hesitation for some.

    [Employee of bestbuy] I love this controller. If you want a elite controller but do not need all the extra pieces, this is perfect for you.

    Great controller but very easy to break I’d say. I’ve had them for awhile but starting to notice some defects in under a year. Paddles help a lot for competitive gaming though.

    Best controller I have invested on. I’ve been wanting this controller a bit before covid kicked in but it was difficult to find. Glad to say the wait was worth it. I use this controller on my Xbox, my phone and my pc.

    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.

    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.

    Bought the series 1 and had to get the series 2. Takes competitive to a whole new level. Being able to use more that just thumb and index when using a controller, makes a huge difference.

    Best Controller I have ever owned

    The title says it all... although this was a little more than I planed on paying for a controller I do not regret the purchase one bit. The only slight complaint is that it is pretty heavy and you start to notice during longer gaming sessions. The weight speaks to the quality of the build it does not feel like a cheap piece of plastic in your hands. I use it for gaming on my PC, getting it initially configured was a breeze and I have had zero issues with reconnecting or any issues with disconnects either. Love it!

    Not much to say here. It's an excellent, if pricey controller. I'm using it for gaming on my phone mostly, but it works great on my laptop as well for the two games that I use it with.

    By far the best controller on the market for any system! Hands down 1,000x better than standard Xbox controller and blows away the PS5 controller too. Thumbsticks have a perfect balance of smooth and tight. Buttons have a very satisfying n mechanical click. The variable triggers make it so easy to switch between a short travel for shooters and a long travel for racing or throttle based games
