Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was hesitant about the price of this controller, but I am so, so, so glad I went through with buying it. I suffer from hand and thumb issues, and wanted to try a different controller. This Elite Series 2 was recommended by almost every site I researched, and by multiple arthritis forums. My other option was to cut down on my Xbox play time, but right now it helps keep my hands and mind busy during my layoff from work due to quarantine. The features that I (and my hands!) appreciate the most are the extra paddles on the back, and the ability to customize the tension on the joysticks. That was a lifesaver for my poor hands! I prefer the tension to be on the tightest setting so my thumb joints don't have to stretch so far to manipulate the joysticks. I also further adjusted their tension in the controller customization in the Xbox Accessories app on my xbox. It is only day 2 that I have had it, and it's gotten a few hours of use, and I absolutely love how accessible and customizable it is. It is a bit on the heavy side, but it is the only mark against it in my book.

It’s worth the price. Great controller the kids love it!

Paddles have definitelt helped for some games like Cod, but onw of the paddles does not seem to click when placed in certain slots on the back.

Only issue ive had is bumpers being a lil weird (notorious in all xbox controllers). They sell a kit for them though so not much of an issue.

Upon unboxing, this controller feels and plays great. Solid build, great response, worth the money. But inevitably, after the warranty expires, stick drift creeps in. This is my 3rd elite controller, and every one of them got stick drift around the same time. Every time I assime after years they would engineer that out of the next model, but nope, its built in. I buy a lot of mid to high level electronics with no extended warranty, and this is the ONLY product I ever recall failing, and consistently at that. Idk how this is possible. My biggest issue is the warranty is only 90 days, when the standard in any electronics is 1 year. So Microsoft know they dont last. The price on these need to come down, or better yet, extend the warranty to a year. Im tired of getting ripped off on these controllers. Ironically, the generic plastic ones always seem to last longer.

I cant stress how amazing this controller is. Ive owned Xbox since the OG and after getting a PS5, the Dualshock 5 was so good it left me wanting more on xbox. Boy did this controller deliver... The Quality is unmatched, from the rubberized grips to the metal swappable dpad and not to mention the suuuper satisfying magnet when you click in new Thumbsticks of all lengths, sizes, and feeling. The ability to press ABXY without lifting off the thumbstick(and adjust the resistance of said thumbsticks) is an absolute gamechanger(or any other button with the Mappable Paddles). It doesn't end there, i love the hair triggers on this controller. You have the full pull, like a standard controller, or a medium setting and my personal favorite, just a little tap. The piece de resistance is the case it comes with THAT HAS A BUILT IN DOCK AND W/ USB C PLUG BEHIND THE CASE. For those wondering if the money is worth it, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED

Love the controller makes gaming a lot easier with the paddles in the back, also in the app you can change configurations for faster reactions etc .. love it .

Best controller for gaming. Extremely durable and easy to use, switch or clean. Had it for 3 years and never had a problem. Several people bought this after my recommendation and loved it

Good controller, paddles can be swapped out by the scuff ones and are pretty useful. For the price compared to others not a bad buy.

My product has been great and still use it to this day!!! 100 percent worth the investment

Hands down the best controller I've owned. Use it on my PC and it works amazing!

Love the elite pro core. Was super excited they made it in red. And upgrading wit the paddles is easy. Turns the core into a full elite 2 at a lower price.

the controller is fantastic when it works, good enough to still get it 4 stars even when it breaks and you have to replace it.

This series 2 Elite controller blows the series 1 away on all accounts. Far and away the BEST controller I have ever used. I had one issue with this (the series 1 had many). The first one I got had some issues with the "A" button but exchanged it no problem and its been nothing but awesome since.

The elite controller is the only way to go. The triggers are worth it alone not to mention the weight of the elite. It’s a hefty controller.

My nephew got this for his gaming xbox experienxe and found that it wasnt the best. After a few months of using the buttons started to stick and glitch. Might of had a deffective one since we returned it and got the same one and it works good.

Great overall construction of controller, feels heavy and durable. Paddles are a definite game changer over stock controllers. No double AA, comes with internal rechargeable.

This controller is literally life changing! Definitely recommend

Love the controller the only ive ever had with these are the rubber coming off the graips

The xbox elite series 2 controller is a lot more comfortable to hold then the original elite controller. The controller comes with it's own charging base and the controller has a built in rechargeable battery and bluetooth. It's an all around great controller.
