Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love this controller. Great battery life and very comfortable

I traded my old Elite Series 2 (RB, back paddles, and B button would get stuck occasionally) for a new Elite Series 2 controller they had at the Best Buy store, and oh boy was the new one better. Now, the buttons and everything function as intended. Onto the specs. The controller is heavy, but I do not mind the weight and it is comfortable. I like the four back paddles as I do not have to remove my thumbs away from the thumbsticks to press the buttons that are on the front of the controller. This is a game-changer for me because you will have a faster response time than other players who own a regular controller and do not own back paddles. Overall, this controller is worth the price if you want a competitive edge and desire everything that is included with this version of the controller. Just be aware that it might be a defective one.

I picked up this Xbox controller from Best Buy, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. The controller itself is fantastic—comfortable grip, super responsive buttons, smooth joysticks, and amazing overall build quality. It feels great during long gaming sessions and performs flawlessly in every game I’ve tried. What made the experience even better was buying it at Best Buy. The product was in perfect condition, the price was great, and the staff were helpful and knowledgeable. Pickup was fast and easy, and the packaging was secure.

Controller feels great and the weight makes it feel premium. Bought the controller for the rear buttons and it works well. Xbox controller software lets you tune the controller to your liking. May be on the expensive side because a regular Xbox controller functions the same minus the back buttons and the tuning capability.

This controller has the best build quality of any controller of all time. The weight feels excellent in the hand and the wrap around grips make the feel even better. The paddles have a new feel to them that the original elite controller did not have and it feels great. The whole controller immediately feels more precise and quality than the regular xbox controller. This is completely worth it if you have the money.

Great controller. It is a bit pricy, but it seems to last longer than standard Xbox controllers from getting stuck drift. The paddles are nice since you can take them off and put them on when convenient. The hard case that it comes with is very nice for storing the interchangeable D-Pad/joystick pieces.

This is my second elite controller I’ve bought. My first one I purchased a long time ago and it finally gave out. Instead of trying something else I bought another one because in my opinion there is no better controller. You won’t regret this purchase.

The elite 2 is a great controller. Very durable. Many custom options available at your fingertips and it has a perfect weight to it.

Absolutely love my Elite controller. Heavier weight, textured rear grip, customizable binds, home button color, joy stick resistance, customizable trigger settings, & more. My ONLY issue is the stupid bumpers are still cheaply made. BUY THE WARRANTY!!

You can feel the difference in quality on this controller compared to the standard Xbox ones. Even if you are not looking to use all of the features, you might have gone through two or three controllers already because they broke. Good investment to make if you are in that situation or if you do not want to keep on replacing part on your controller. The customization on the elite is endless. The four paddles feel great. The ability to tighten and swap out the joy sticks is also great.

Its a great feeling controller that does what a pro should be able to do. Last 40 hours with a single charge, can be customized on the xbox and saves the data. Only draw back is you need to buy the attachments so plan for a extra 50 down the road.

Battery life is great! And the most comfortable controller I own. Love that you can change the sensitivity on the sticks and triggers. Haven’t had any drift issues in the year and many hours I’ve been using it.

I think personally for me the only way to play any console games is on a controller like this, whether you play Xbox or PlayStation paddles have been such a game changer. As for this specific controller it has served me well and I think it is a solid choice without being too pricey.

Super weighty and premium in terms of feel. Pairs quickly and works without interruptions in my experience. Battery life is great! I got about a week and a half of heavy use out of it on a single charge. Costs a lot, but totally worth it in my book.

Works great! Comfortable and easy to use. Feels good when using for extended periods of time.

By far the heaviest of the XBox controllers out there mainly due to a 40 hour rechargeable battery. The rubberized grips do make it a much more pleasant controller to use. Easier to hold on to. The variety of buttons and sticks is always nice and they are simple and easy to replace. Extra buttons with three button profiles to save to. With an indicator light to tell you which profile you are using. The charging hub is not large and can easily sit on top of the console. Con: Expensive!

The controller is very comfortable and easily costumizable. Also instead of the constant need to change out the batteries this controller contains a built in battery pack you just need to charge and should last up to 1 whole day or even 2 depending on how much you game.

I used my Elite Series 1 for years and wore it out, even changed it's housing/buttons over time, still works to this day. Loved every minute of it, and the successor is an even more reliable move forward. I love the case/charger combo, makes putting down my controller and always having battery so much better. Less to think about. Super responsive controls and the customizabilty is extremmely flexible

I think Microsoft went above and beyond with this controller. It’s super comfortable to hold, it’s a good weight and the mapping is immaculate. I love the paddles and the interchangeable joysticks. If you want to invest money into another controller, make it this one.

This should be the standard for all controllers to achieve. The amount of tweaking and customizing is insane, and only goes to show how much care Microsoft put into this controller. Travel case, charging dock, swappable d-pads/control sticks, textured grips, cables, tension tool, programmable profiles, trigger stops, paddles, I mean, I don't know what else they could do to make this thing even better. My hat goes off to you, Bravo!
