Customer Ratings & Reviews

First Elite controller, and the difference is noticeable. Power button clicks firmly, weight is heavier than normal controller, and triggers feel firmer. I feel the rear buttons are a bit of a gimmick (or I haven't gotten to set them up right) but for right now they get in the way. Definitely hoping it'll last more than my traditional controller, which usually fails because the right trigger ends up becoming sticky.

The best controller by far. I wont ever use another controller. The lifespan of one of these is about 3 years so if you feel thats worth it just keep it in mind. I am a heavy user and the onyl thing that went wrong on mine was a single back paddle was only responding 80% of the time

My boyfriend loves this controller so much now I can’t get him off the game. Got it on sale but to whoever is thinking about buying one it’s definitely worth it sale or not.

Great controller! Unfortunately the newer version came out so my nephew exchanged it for a newer version!

Controller works good with my computer , wanted the red one but I guess more people wanted it before I got to the store

Works great. Less expensive option if your series 2 breaks and you still have the extras.

I love these controllers their perfect for the gaming beating

Overall a good controller with back paddles. It is a plus if you are looking for added weight in comparison to the standard controller. The back paddles need some time to get used to. The most important feature to me is that the sticker click can be disabled.

Love the customization. Lots customization. Only thing I hate on this is the price. Hoping it last longer than the original since that started to have left joystick “stick-drift”. Wish the battery was removable. Feel like MS did the whole recharge battery thing knowing that rechargeables only last so long. Meaning more money for MS if it’s time to replace because of a battery death. We shall see what dies first: the joystick or the battery

I wanted a controller with more responsiveness and that is what I got. Compared to a standard non elite or modified controller, this is more reliable and responsive. The amount of times I depress LT or RT and have to wait for the game to recognize I am trying to perform an action was tiresome. Unless it was CoD and/or a game I could set trigger dead zones, timing dodges or specific actions would input early or late. With the triggers being adjustable from a full pull, to half or even a click, saves me a headache while performing dodges or counter attacks. The rounded face D Pad also amazing for games that have upper left, upper right, lower left, lower right options. Having to press and hold UP and Right, etc on a normal D Pad again tiresome. Amazing product and I wish I could give it 5 stars, however I want other color options that don't require me to buy an accessory kit that would cost more than an already bundled controller OR having to order custom through Microsoft. Pros: - Well made with solid weight to it - Default profile without back buttons - 3 Customizable profiles for back buttons - Add or remove back buttons with ease - Swappable sticks and D pad with strong magnets - 3 levels of adjustablility for trigger stops Cons: - Requires Xbox Accessories App on PC - Does not properly indicate battery life Wired or BT - Colored Core options do not come with full accessories at reduced price, even then you over pay to add the accessories with a Elite Core - Unless custom ordered through Microsoft all buttons follow black and grey color scheme

Look, bottom line, if you're serious about gaming, you need the Microsoft Elite Series 2 in your life. It's like upgrading your gaming experience from regular to legendary. Comfort? Check. Style? Double-check. Customization? Triple-check. This controller is the real deal, my fellow gamers. Don't miss out – it's a game-changer in every sense.

I love how it feels and the case you get with it is good for traveling and it has different attachments for your controller. Only bad thing is the price but what you get with makes it worth it.

Very good controller for the price. However the only downside is not coming with paddles. Moreover the paddles are cheap and easy to install. Great product overall. No stick drift and it’s got some weight. High quality

Its pretty comfortable to use has a good weight and its easy to put together

Awesome controller! Best controller for the money I bought a elite controller before and it lasted 4 years before it gave me any problems! So i am buying another one!

This controller is great. Seems like there were some quality issues with the first series elite controller but this one appears to have better quality. Had it for a couple of months now and showing very little signs of wear. Being able to switch out the sticks is what I like the most about it. The added paddle buttons help, but be aware that they don’t act as extra buttons. They only replace current buttons or can act as a shift button.

I'm a PC player that likes to use a controller with casual games like Fallout and GTAV. I purchased this because i prefer the Xbox form compared to PS. The weight of the controller is fantastic, the buttons feel great. the whole thing just feels very premium. I went to a buddies house and used his regular Xbox controller for the night and I felt like a pleb in comparison. Night and day difference, 4 stars because the price is just as heavy as the controller.

I need it a controller for a gift to my nephew and he loves it i try it my self and controller is fantastic

My son will not use anything else, he says this controller is great, it has so many functons and options for gaming of all kinds.
