Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've used a few of those and there are always problems, but thus far after about a month, this one seems to be having no issues with the bumpers or stick drift

Very responsive, I love the ability to customize all the buttons, interchangeable analog stick, love the grip and size of the controller. The price is a bit much for a controller but definitely worth it. I wish the manufacturer warranty would be at least 2 years because after of 1 year of gaming the buttons start acting up.

It's a very comfortable smooth remote. It's a very good casing very good remote controls response very good battery power

I purchased this controller for Cold War and to be honest I love the quality of the controller but the buttons feel cheaper but other then that the paddles feel great and has a good grip on your hands

Much better than the older generation elite controller. Its not nearly as heavy as the old one plus the rubbers have stayed on unlike the old one. Such a huge upgrade in terms kd quality. Works well with pc too. Couldnt really ask for more. The case that it charges in is a great addition as well. Keeps everything nice and tidy.

Best controller in the market hands down. Love the grip on it and also the back sticks that makes hitting a button without losing grip on the controller way easier. This is the only controller that I use and I’m on pc. I tried different controller and this seems to be the best one. Wish it was a bit price friendly though.

Its one of the most sophisticated cutting edge controllers produced by microsoft,excellent proformance overall fully customizable to you're personal tastes,down to the deadzones and vibration of differnt modulals.Interchangable parts ,bigger a bit heavier and durable remote .Other than that I would highly recomend to anyone geting serious into keybinding and comp gaming, but it also works very well for everything else.

Great if you like to play Call of Duty. Can adjust everything for your liking in the settings. Definitely helps to adjust trigger functions and the back buttons for full customization. Also swapped out both sticks for more comfortable game play.

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 best controller I’ve ever used. You can change the tension on the left and right thumbsticks independently as well as the left and right trigger travel. The grip texture feels secure yet comfortable. FPS and platformer games are more enjoyable with this controller. Playing on a Windows 11 PC. I found a red controller on sale with the Total Membership for $94 which was well worth it considering normal controllers are around $70.

Man this controller is amazing and comfortable. With all the extra thumbsticks, buttons and carrying case with braided cord. This controller is great quality with consistent use in mind. The battery life on this controller can not be match. Off of one charge i have been able to play games with no charge for two days. I would recommend this purchase if you want to jave full control of your gaming experience.

The X Box Elite Series 2 Core has a very sturdy feel; ergonomically and functionally. Accuracy is improved and the self contained battery has excellent endurance. After buying an Elite Series 2 two (2) months ago, I’ve bought another and this Series 2 Core.

I have had the controller for close to two months and the paddle shifter are lose and there is slight stick drift. I do like the the ability of have multiple button mapping configurations. I like the weight of the controller and the grips. I also, like how easy it is to interchange the thumb sticks options. The cable is of good quality and I high recommend the purchase of this controller.

My son is fascinated with this control, it is worth its cost at 100% , Excellent accessory and great complement for his Xbox

Great controller! Would recommend for anyone who is thinking about it.

Best controller I ever used in all my years of gaming, yet the biggest Lemon in controllers. I'm on my 4th Elite II controller & it has huge issues in Stick-Drift & the LB/RB not working. The little rubber nubs on the trigger stops tend to just fall off & the rubber on the analog sticks wear very easily. I seriously advise you get the total tech insurance on Any controller, but it is Severly needed for this one. Aside from its faults, the best feeling, highly customizable controller I ever used. Microsoft, fix this thing.

Pros: Wireless Freedom: The wireless capability of this controller is its standout feature. The ability to move freely without the encumbrance of wires has greatly improved my comfort and immersion in games. Exceptional Battery Life: The battery life of the Elite Series 2 Core is remarkable. I can engage in extended gaming sessions without frequent recharging. This is a major advantage, as it allows for uninterrupted gameplay. Auto-Off Feature: The auto-off function is a major plus for battery conservation. The controller smartly turns off when not in use, which significantly prolongs the battery life. Compatibility and Performance: Connecting this controller to my PC was straightforward and hassle-free. The responsiveness and feel of the buttons enhance the gaming experience, providing precision and a satisfying tactile response. Cons: The controller is nearly flawless in my experience. If there's any downside, it might be the price, but the quality and features justify the investment for an avid gamer. Conclusion: The Microsoft Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller is an exceptional piece of gaming equipment. Its wireless design, combined with the impressive battery life and responsive performance, makes it an excellent choice for gamers. It elevates the gaming experience, whether you’re exploring vast worlds or competing in high-stakes matches. Highly recommended!

Works and feels great. Caved after my 8BitDo failed after a month and I couldnt be happier

I love this controller. As an owner of an Elite 1 controller I can tell you this is a bug upgrade over that. The new design of the paddles.makes it so much easier to use because they are smaller and better places whereas with the elite 1 they were big and could easily be hit as well as feel awkward when gaming. I use this controller to play both on PC and Xbox series X. My only complaint is the nubs to set the trigger stop on each side fell off which is a weird thing to.have happen for such a high priced item. I primarily use this to play Call of Duty Warzone.

The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 is one of the best feeling controllers I have ever used. The build quality overall is great, and modularity is a bonus. The options to wirelessly charge or using the USB-C cable is also great. Battery life has been awesome for how often I use the controller for PC gaming. This controller connects to your PC by either pairing via Bluetooth, direct connection using the included USB-C cable, or by purchasing a separate Microsoft USB dongle. I have not had any stick drift issues thus far, but I did purchase the extended warranty from Microsoft for $20. I bought this controller on sale which in my opinion is still expensive for what this is. If this was a controller at the $120 price, it would definitely be worth it. Likes: Build quality, modularity, battery life; hard shell case, all the cables included Dislikes: Poor Bluetooth connectivity Oh, by the way: After connecting this controller to my newly built PC, it struggled to keep a wireless connection. This controller worked perfectly fine when directly connected. I downloaded all the drivers necessary and tried some other trouble shooting recommendations, but in the end, the Bluetooth on this controller just plain sucks. I went and purchased the Microsoft controller USB dongle and all my wireless connection issues were resolved with this controller. If you want wireless play via PC, the USB dongle is a much buy unfortunately.
