Customer Ratings & Reviews

Comfortable quality feel and smooth working item! Very glad to have purchased with best buy and got a great deal on my protection plan

my son loves his new XBox remote. Would recommend.

My 10yr old son what was the remote don’t think he’ll ever go back to the regular remote after having this one. He likes that you can change the joystick pieces to his comfort and the paddles on the bottom of the remote great. The battery last a long time I am usually charge it for him after three days of use I don’t think it’s ever been dead since he got it and when he plays on for a long time, so it’s definitely quality remote anybody who’s looking for a good remote definitely get this one.

The best controller i hafe ever used in my life. It is built to be very solid. The trigger brakes make shooting and accelerating with the triggers so easy. Customizable home button colors, interchangeable sticks, 4 programmable control schematics, this thingbis a beast! A must-have for any serious gamer.

We got our first one towards the end of last year to replace a failing Elite 1 controller. Unfortunately, the controller we got had the oft reported button problems. Upon return, it took almost a week to get the replacement. This one did work correctly. From a gameplay perspective, though, it is an excellent controller. Its programability is good. The paddles are a huge improvement over the original Elite. It feels better in the hand, as well. One big plus is that the hand grips are still solidly attached after almost a quarter of a year. On both prior Elites, they had started to peel off by this time. That is a great step forward. This is the best of the wireless controllers available. If you get it, though, I would STRONGLY recommend getting the Geek Squad extended warranty. For most purchases I would never get it. For the Elite controller, I promise you, you will need it eventually. At the very least, you will want to trade it in for a new one before the warranty expires. Then spend the few bucks for a warranty on the replacement. Just be warned, the price for that warranty has gone up a bit. That tells you something about the quality issues. Nevertheless, once you do get a good controller you will be quite happy with it. If you can use a wired controller, you might want to look at the Razer. If you need wireless, this is probably the best option. (I personally am not that fond of Scuff.)

I love the feel and works really good. Got very very little stick drift(got it open box), not game breaking but does show if you stare at a place.

Easily the best controller for more competitive gamers. I purchased the Scuf before this, and was quite disappointed after the left joystick started sticking (not drift, just stuck in the down position) within 3 months of purchase. It was also a bit of a pain (and limited) to program the pads. Then I purchased the Elite S2, and what a difference it made. The magnetic, interchangeable joysticks are a breeze to swap (have to take the whole faceplate off the Scuf). The rear pads are programmable through the Xbox UI, offer more combinations to progrsm, and can save up to three independent configurations for different games or styles (a button on the controller lets you flip between the three without having to go through the UI). And the trigger adjustments are quick and easy to adjust on the fly. My only issue with this controller is stick drift, hence the markdown. While it did hold up well for 10-11 months, I had to send it in to Microsoft for a replacement at the 11th month (Best Buy didn't have any at the time). I did get a replacement after a little over a week, but it was equally bad, if not worse within two weeks. Fortunately, Best Buy had a resupply and I was able to get a new one. A near $200 controller should not fail like that in less than a year. I get that nothing lasts forever, but the gimbles should be better quality for a premium controller. That said, the S2 is worth the purchase if you are into more competitive gaming, however, buy the extended warranty. Will definitely be worth it in the long run.

works fine i use it on pc works better plugged in fyi

High quality buttons. Battery life is 2 days its amazing.

Works as it should no complaints I wish it would stay charged a little bit longer though

This controller has replaced my standard controller, and it is awesome! Heavy weight and solid in your hand, and so didn’t want all the extra levers and triggers, I just wanted it mainly for the built in rechargeable battery that last me 4-5 days easy playing 6-8 hours each day. Big step up from the older models of the elite, just seems solid and buttons are very responsive

I have had three over the past 6 years. By far the best overall high end controller. The xbox controller frame and buttom layout in my opinion is the most ideal and ergonimic. Have only had one have button/drift issues and was replaced with GSP.

I really really like the series 2 in every way but this is my 2nd one. Hopefully it doesn't have stick drift like the last one. My series one went through 5 of the first series with same issue. I dont drop or throw controllers. I use them and set them on the charger. At $180 i take care of them! They are the best controllers out there. (When they work). Get the extended warranty. Its totally worth it.

This Xbox controller is amazing for the price I like weight of the controller it’s nice and it has a low response time and battery life is good the controller feels like it worth the money uses metal thumb sticks are nice when playing gps games

It is great controller, very comfortable, build quality is outstanding, customization is fantastic, but the most important for me - battery life is super. It is expensive - but from my point of view totally worth it.

Initially I was pained at the thought of buying a controller for this price. However, once I opened the box it became apparent to me just why the price was high; this controller is bulletproof. Amazing quality of materials, very very comfortable, incredibly customizable. This controller will last you years and years easily. Only downside is that it is not currently compatible with iPad. I stream my PC to my iPad for gaming, and was disappointed as a result. Amazing controller though!

Love the controller! Nice weight. The paddles take a little time to get used to nut once you do they are a thumb saver. hahaha! Great purchase.

Controller feels nice, has a nice quality feel to it. Only issue is the sides of the controller have been lifting and the RB button works about 40% if the time. Awesome controller, 5 starts if I wasn’t experiencing those issues.

Best gaming controller. May seem expensive but I’ve bought scuff controllers and they do not seem to last long and fhey cost double the price of these. Love the interchangeable attachments the elite 2 controller comes with, its as if its made to be customizable to fit your gaming needs. 10/10 would recommend to any xbox or PC player

I've been skeptical over the years in paying the hefty price for an elite controller, but finally jumped the gun when they announced the series 2... and I'm glad i did. This controller has great ergonomics and grip texture, along with a plethora of features and settings, including hair trigger settings, multiple sticks, mapping, 4 quadrant vibrating settings, e.t.c. well worth it if you are a competitive gamer. No problems with drifting so far. Love that you can adjust the tension of the sticks as well.. overall, a great product from Microsoft!
