Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this controller to replace a previous Elite Controller that succumbed to severe stick drift and a battery that wouldn’t hold a charge. I wasn’t looking forward to paying full price for an Elite controller, so was very glad to find this one. It doesn’t come with all the bells and whistles of my previous controller but i didnt really need them since those same accessories and case from my previous controller all wotk with this one. I also wasn’t sure if i liked the white on black color scheme but it really works and this controller feels just as sold as my old one. Very pleased with this purchase.

Feels great must have controller I’ve literally never used a better controller ever

Out of all the high end controllers, this has been my repeat go to for comfort and reliability.

This product is my favorite remote that I have ever had, I loved my black elite remote so now its its the second gen AND in red….im in heaven haha

Best Gen 2 elite controller…GEN 1 i kept breaking the bumpers…BUT GEN 2 the buttons are definitely stronger nd the charger last longer

Great controller and can feel the quality. I like how you can map the buttons however you like and have 3 different mapping modes if you want for each different game.

As a Playstation player I was skeptical when choosing a controller to play games on my PC, but when I gave the xbox elite a chance I was not disappointed, I highly recommend and encourage anyone in the market to follow my decision.

Great product workd like a charm. I wish I had a store closer to me.

The only problem with this elite controller is that they seem to still have not done anything about the subpar left and right bumpers. They are just cheap plastic. Everything else is great quality, serious improvement over the first series. Feels better all around.

Make awesome the gaming experience; I like the option to personalize it

Feels great. Responsive. Good build quality. The buttons all feel great and its great that its interchangeable. Also customizable in the xbox settings. Should come with paddles though.

This controller is so close to perfect! The back buttons easy to use & not obtrusive, everything feels higher quality than the normal Xbox controller, but the stick drift is ridiculous!! Stick drift has become synonymous with the Elite controllers so I was hesitant to justify the price tag, but the Elite 2 seemed to be the most user-friendly option in the “pro-controller” market. I’ve seen people say they they’ve had theirs for 2+ years without drift issues so I was hopeful to say the least. First week was a dream come true! The added functionality from the back buttons made me realize I’ve been playing at a huge disadvantage for the last couple years. I don’t think I can ever go back to playing FPS games without back buttons, the idea seems so cumbersome now. Around my 2nd week of use I started to notice some slight drift on the left stick. It was barely noticeable & easily corrected so I didn’t think much of it. Fast forward 1 more week and I notice the same thing from my right stick. Barely noticeable, but enough to make me start regretting my purchase. I’ve barely had the Elite 2 controller for a full month & the drift is only getting worse. I love the back buttons SO MUCH that I really don’t want to put it down, but if the stick drift keeps getting progressively worse at this same rate than I will only get another 2-3 weeks of use out of it. This controller does everything right when it comes to offering a premium level “pro-controller” but if the stick drift turns it into a $200 paperweight after 2 months then it’s hardly a justifiable purchase. I’m hopeful Microsoft can turn this around, the biggest talking point of the Elite 2 to-this-day is the stick drift issues. If they can resolve this, then they will arguably have the best option on the market for a premium controller.

This has been a great purchase for an update to my Xbox console. Definitely has given me a nice edge on game play with fps (COD) games.

Performs exactly as advertised, Xbox knocked it out of the park with the design

Love this controller! Very smooth and has great back paddles

Purchased as an open box and couldn't be more satuafied. The controller feels very nice and the little travel case it comes with is also high quality. I use it mostly for my computer but sometimes take it with me to a friends house to use with their xbox.

So for so good! For the most part I like the length of time between charges and the options to modify the various functions of the controller. It is a little heavier than the standard controllers that come with the game system, but once you play with the controller for a while you will get use to the weight. I know the price point is a bit much for some. While I read several reviews speaking as to some having problems with product quality I choose to purchase the maintenance package with this product. Considering how much it would cost to replace it for any reason. Will update this if things changes.

Very good heavy controller especially for an elite controller

Not as crisp as a complete one, but it is just as serviceable as one. I haven't had connectivity issues and it feels fine.

I love this controller! It’s the best Xbox controller for sure! The best part is the paddles in the back that you can set to be any button on the controller. It’s gives you the ultimate advantage against your opponent!
