The best till new one comes out, great controller though, need haptic

I just bought the controller a few days ago and so far, so good. This controller targeted for users that previously owned an Elite Series 2 controller. They are basically selling you the controller without the paddles and case. So, if you start getting stick drift in your remote and can't no longer play without using an elite like me, this controller is for you. The quality of the remote is just a bit cheaper but for the price it can't be beat.

This controller works great and its speed and interaction is exceptional. Although expensive it is well worth the money so far.

Amazing product, everything you'd expect from a new high dollar controller

The customization for the buttons is a really nice feature. I like that i can have multiple profiles of configurations for different games and styles of play. Comfortable controller as well.

So much better than stock XBox controller. Great feel!

Good quality, purchased refurbished can definitely tell it’s refurbished. Not bad tho

I love this controller & i love the warranty that best buy offers for it. I only give 4 stars because of little things ive noticed. They do eventually get stick drift but again warranty, & then theres the issue ive had with 3 in a row of the rubber grip starts to peel up after a little while. Another personal gripe is i have big hands & it wouod be nice if the spacing for the paddles was better. It is very difficult to use all 4 with larger hands. Atleast in my experience.

Sleek and easy to use. Love the improved buttons on it.

Elevate your gaming with the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 - Core. Exceptional performance, customizable button mapping, and up to 40 hours of battery life redefine your gaming experience. The sleek white design, D-pad, thumbsticks, and thumbstick-adjustment tool complete this elite package.

The Elite Series 2 is an amazing controller. The adjustment and customization lets you dial in the controller for each game and your personal play style.

Using it on my PC. Love using Xbox controllers. Paddles are very easy to program

Extremely solid controller. Battery life is amazing

I've had elite controllers since day 1 so I'll be very honest about the controller itself without being biased in any way. The controller is a great upgrade from the regular one but it does comes with its downsides. One being the build quality over time, the controller seems to deteriorate at a quick amount of speed after a lots of use. I've had many with stick drift out of the box more frequently compared to buying a normal controller, bumpers wear out and give way and buttons do as well. That's the bad but the good is ease of use, the button mapping with the pads and their feel of how nice and metal they sound when you click them. The way you can personalize the sticks heights, and dead zone, and the actual app used for it is very intuitive. Overall, it depends on you if you need to upgrade for whatever circumstances you're in but the price tag is very costly given how the issues i presented do seem to kind of not make it a somewhat justifiable purchase but I'll leave that up to y'all

Once you start using the Elite controller, the original xbox controllers start to feel like toys. I like that you can lock the triggers to different lengths depending on the game that you are playing. Very nice controller and nice color.

This controller is a huge step up from the regular controller provided with the Xbox! The bells and whistles are totally worth it and the case is that final magic touch. I’m a streamer and sometimes travel to game and having a cased controller is like having your cake and eating it too! Well worth the money!!

First controller I bought was a defect. Went to return it and had to spend 20 minutes listening to the try to sell me a ridiculous priced plan for protection which I kept informing I did not want but still continued to pressure me. I ended up getting basic two year plan so I could get back to my day. Don’t pressure people to buy things they do not want. I understand upsell but the situation was ridiculous.

great controller for PC. I mostly use it for Call of Duty.

The best controller you can get for PC or Console gaming. The heavy duty feel demonstrates the sturdiness of the controller. The adjustable trigger sensitivity works flawlessly. The price point is perfect for those who already own an elite 2 with the additional paddles, and thumb sticks as this product doesn't come with them, but works just the same.

I've wanted an Elite controller for quite some time and when Microsoft announced this one, I was even further tempted. I decided to wait for a bit to see how well it reviewed before I decided to buy it if I was going to at all. I could write a very long and in depth review of this controller but I'll try to keep it brief. The very first time you grab this controller you know without a doubt that it's an extremely well-built device. Some players might not prefer this controller due to its weight because it's pretty heavy compared to most. I don't mind this personally, I prefer the weight. The variety of options on offer are great. There are several bits and pieces included allowing a player to situated the controller as desired and quickly make the swaps when changing games. The triggers have three positions and have haptic feedback. This is great when playing something like Forza because you can feel the resistance from the car when accelerating or braking. The back paddles can be remapped to any of the buttons on the controller and quickly swapped out or removed entirely. At any rate, most of these features are in the description but are some of my favorite aspects. I love the included case and charging dock, even more so since you can charge it while it's in the case. USB-C is greatly appreciated and should be the gold standard to which all devices are engineered now. The charging cable is long and very well made. The entire package is simply amazing. I purchased this to use with my gaming PC (do not currently own XBox One) and it's been a greatly welcomed addition. This leads me to the only potential sticking point for some. In order to remap the buttons, you need the XBox Accessories app for Windows 10. The app nice because it allows you to program up to three profiles for different button mappings that can be switched on the fly via the button in the center of the controller. However, as of the time I'm writing this, it doesn't allow for programming button combinations or macros. I've read that this will be later added to the app via a software update. Additionally, you can connect the controller via Bluetooth but unless you use the cable or the Xbox Wireless adapter, the app cannot detect the controller and you can't use the built-in headphone jack. This is pretty minor point since many will use the cable, may not use the headphone jack, or (like me) will purchase the wireless adapter. Buying the wireless adapter was an easy decision for me since it also allows for multiple controllers to be connected to the same PC, in addition to detecting the controller in the app and use of the headphone jack. So, yea, it's expensive, but uncompromisingly so. If the price point works for your budget and you're on the fence, rest assured you're going to get your money's worth should you decide to buy it.
