Customer Ratings & Reviews

Its a good controller if you want back paddles you have to get the kit but it comes with a case so thats decent all in all its a good controller and best buy has good service

Great controller. Battery life is very good. It does not come with the pads so just a heads up. The price is high in my opinion but I have no complaints with the quality.

I honest didn't think an elite controller would feel any different. Holy crap was I wrong. This thing is AMAZING. Feels perfect in my hands. Love the weight. Being able to swap about joysticks with different versions is amazing. Love the quick buttons on the backside. Battery life is amazing. Definitely worth the price if you do a lot of gaming.

Elite S2 Controller is one of the best, if not, THE best Xbox controller out there. The controller itself is insanely comfortable and the paddles are super helpful if the time is put in to use them. The adjustments for the sticks are odd, but useful in many high level games that any gamer should be able to do regardless of controller. Great piece of hardware for any serious nerd out there trying to dominate some games. Enjoy :)

Best controller I've ever purchased, if you're serious about FPS gaming, this one is for you.

very comfortable and customizable. love the rear triggers, so its going to be hard using a stock controller anymore. price is great if on sale, wish it had hall effect sticks

I never do reviews, but I guess I’m starting. I love these controllers. Works perfectly on Xbox or PC + paddles. But. As the price gets higher the quality becomes more of an issue. 3rd controller that has fallen apart, this one did last a good year and a half which I’m happy about but this controller specifically the grip around it absolutely wears out before the first year of use. 2 of the controllers I’ve had plastic breaks inside the controller without raging being involved (hasn’t effected use). The response mechanism for the triggers is probably the worst, maybe works for a week and wears its self out unless you’re super soft on the triggers all the time. It’s just no longer worth the cost when it seems it’s only designed to last until the warranty runs out. I don’t care to buy new controllers obviously but “premium” controllers should be able to withstand heavy use and not naturally fall apart within a year. IMO.

BATTERY LIFE IS AMAZING THE GRIP IS GREAT TOO 10/10 IMO

Definitely worth spending the extra money to get the better quality controller. I’ve had 5 controllers before this one and they all seemed to wear out pretty quickly. I love how it’s customizable as well.

Its what you need. If you need a reliable simple and comfortable controller this is it. Officially licensed and backed by a big company, anything goes wrong(which it does it being heavily abused during online gameplay) then you have xbox 1 year warranty. Feels nice in the hands. Also has rechargeable batteries the way it should.

very easy to use and love the grip. easier then using keyboard all the time

Only reason this controller doesn’t get a five star review is that it tends to develop stick drift or faulty bumpers. It’s worth it to get the protection plan to be able to replace it.

My son brought this. He says he likes it and has a good grip. This is the second one he has purchased from Best Buy.

My husband gets constant stick drift with his controller! This one is so great because he just needs to replace the piece instead of the whole controller. I recommend!

Amazing overall however, the durability is not quite there for the price. On my 2nd controller due to wear and tear or button smashed inside controller in 3 years. Otherwise, it's very nice feeling and works great

I was tired of buying controllers that didn't last more than a year or so. The battery life lasts much longer than expected and I love how customizable this controller is.

This controller is just totally awesome. Fully programmable and will take ur whole gaming experience to a new level for sure!! I must say, though the programming part of it is definitely at a higher level capable understanding. I would recommend watching the associated video of this product if it’s still offered through Best Buy website and not recommended for younger children.

Great controller! Like that you can customize the controller to your likings.

High quality controller allowing for a high degree of customization and enhanced gaming experience. One item to note is that the Core series controller does not come with the paddles for the back of the controller, so you'll need to purchase those separately if you don't already own them.

This controller is amazing, the customization options and the paddles make such a difference when it comes to game play. I also like that you can change the color of the xbox logo. The grip on it is nice and the trigger stops come in use for certain games. Never going back to a normal controller.
