Customer Ratings & Reviews

I really love the core controller.I do love the weight of it and the paddle buttons on the bottom for extra buttons. The D-pad has a nice feel and so does the joystick. I do like the battery life. I myself never ran out of power. This one does not come with the case and extra buttons. But you can purchase that seperately. I love the color option of the black and white.

Great Xbox controller, bit packs holifax sensors so it will even get drift just like all controllers. USB c is nice but no rechargeable battery is still insane In 2026 especially for an elite controller.

The controller is very light weight, well-built and love the grap but attracts a lot of dirty due to the white part

Materials and textures feel great. The added weight is a plus in my opinion. Trigger travel settings is nice as well as the internal rechargeable battery that should have been in the regular controller to begin with. Ability to save several user profiles is fantastic. Only issue is price. On holiday discount at $135 it's doable. At retail of around $200 is way too much.

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.

Great controller with added paddles in the back, different trigger options and has nice grip. I highly recommend the controller if youre looking to enhance your gaming experience. Has Bluetooth capability to connect with your PC/Laptop if you're going to use it for that.

Controller is very modular and comfortable in the hands, allows for many unique button configurations for paddles

I had hope there would be a noticeable difference over the standard controls in feel or gameplay. It was actually a little harder to "run" the player for the first several sessions then it seemed to break-in. I love the rechargeable battery, hope the life is good. The rubberized grip is probably the biggest difference. If budget doesn't matter, go ahead, but maybe stick with standard controllers if it's a stretch.

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.

Awesome controller! Easy to use and comfortable in the hand. Love this color combination and charging is quick and easy

I love this remote ! The main reason to buy it was because I play CoD, and sadly my thumb gets tired for running, with this remote that pain is not a problem anymore. I was able to modify the bottoms wherever I needed to be.

The Elite Series 2 shows its age by lacking hall effect or TMR sticks. Thus it is very susceptible to stick drift. Reliabilty is also an issue as well. I lucked out I guess as mine lasted about a year before getting stick drift. Battery wise its still the best pro controller Ive tried on Xbox and Ive used almost all of them. Still a decent pro controller especially if purchased on sale. I strongly recommend buying the Best Buy warranty just in case it does have issues.

Love this controller best part about it is the paddles on the back. High quality feel

I love these controllers, this is my 4th one. The controller has some weight to it, it doesnt feel like a cheap piece of plastic. I play a lot of FPS games and I wear the remotes out after about a year and a half of gaming. They probably should last longer but i enjoy using them and i think for the amount of wear i put on them, its worth the money every 12-16 months. Its also nice to pick up just the remote when i dont need all the extras.

Not a bad controller works well responds well but stick drift came in quick after about a few months had to return. The first one I bought was not working at all. The second one I got is working well other than a little bit of stick drift the Best Buy team was very helpful on swapping the controller for a new one.

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

Can’t play without this controller. Great grip, great feel. Drifts in some games though, not all.

The controller its self is very confortable, and easy to set up. Having the option to choose your trigger pull and analog/joystick setup/range is nice as well. My ONLY complain is the stick drift is absolutely terrible after using the control for a few months. I feel like im constantly having to go back and replace the controller cause of the stick drift on the either joysticks. Besides that the controller is very good.

This is my first time buying elite controller for any gaming system The problem I have with this controller is they put this rubber grip on there but it comes off on the edges I've only had this controller 6 months for the price I spent on it I shouldn't have these issues until they fix the glue issue I do not recommend buying

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.
