Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller's high-quality build, excellent battery life, and comfortable grip. Many appreciate the customization options and the controller's overall feel and weight. However, customers are negative about the prevalence of stick drift issues reported by some users, as well as concerns about the durability of certain buttons and bumpers. The positive feedback on features like customization and feel is frequently offset by negative experiences with controller longevity.

    Great controller for the Xbox Series X. I can’t complain about all the features this controller has to offer! Inner changeable parts and the ease of use with the extra buttons.

    Purchased for our Grandson for Christmas (Seemed to be in short supply at other stores). He really loves this controller because it has features that other did not. (Buttons, charging pack option, etc.). Hey, He's happy so we are happy.

    Works great. This is my 3rd Elite. Wore the other 2 out. Like the black and white colors. All paddles and sticks from the 2nd controller fit this one fine.

    Great Xbox elite 2 controller. The same great swapping thumb pads and sticks. Enhanced from the first one for professional gamers like me. I like the grip and feel. Looks really good with black color. I wish they have this in other color.

    me and my son were looking forward to this controller. love the battery built in was having fun using it then the right bumper went bad. i have sent it out for replacement. as i was looking at my Microsoft page i saw my 1 year warranty had the wrong expiration date [4/20/20]! how does a controller that came out in November expire in April? i called up they said would be fixed and next day it showed expiration of 2/4/20 called back to hear them say they will try to fix but they changed the warranty to 90 days for a 200.00 controller. 1] they cant changed a promised warrenty after you purchase it still trying to get threw to them to fix it

      Hi there,

      We're sorry if there's any confusion over the warranty that comes with this controller. Unless you purchase an additional warranty through Microsoft or Best Buy, the limited manufacturer's warranty that comes with the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 is 90 days.

      Hope that helps,

    Very high quality controller. Nice weight to it. Great for competitive FPS games. Setting the triggers to the least amount of travel is my favorite feature. The paddles allow you to always have your fingers on important buttons.

    The feel of the controller is nice(more premium feel over the older model). Interaction of the buttons is good. Bluetooth was no issue pairing up. The color layout is a lot more appealing(over the older model). I recommend for the upgrade

    Amazing Product, Have had it for about a month now and so far it has done astoundingly. No cracks or breaks even after a few mild drops. And the back paddles and multiple profile function is fantastic with siblings.

    Hair triggers, remappable paddles, customizable joysticks, it has it all. I have not experienced any quality issues with the series 2 that plagued the series 1 elite controller. I only wish I could use it on my PS5.

    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.
