Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have had the xbox elite series 1 before and was disappointed with how much it broke, but this series 2 is a beast. Im a clumsy person so i tend to drop my controller at least once a day. Ive had this controller for over 2 years now and havent had any major issues.

One thing to consider about this product is that the thumb sticks will wear out over time after each use, resulting in a common issue in controllers called "stick drift" which is currently inevitable. Microsoft has yet to manufacture perfect thumb sticks that will not cause this issue. Other than that, everything else about this controller is perfect.

Love the controller it is a perfect pair to my pc and cloud gaming controller the replacement

Would recommend for competitive gamers, for casuals who are just looking for a controller I’ll say this is expensive for your needs. Crazy helpful in certain games where you don’t want to constantly take your thumb off the analog stick. Great customization options like response curves, trigger and analog deadzones, trigger locks, analog tension and you can set custom profiles for specific games.

The elite series 2 is better in many ways than the Series 1, but does have some trade offs. You can read about the updates on the Msft website. So I just tell you what the negatives over the series one are. First the battery isn’t replaceable, so ones it’s capacity starts to go down, you’re out of luck. The other difference I’ve found is the textured grips are definitely not as sticky as the series one. Sure the texture looks and feels the same, this feels more like textured plastic than textured rubber. It’s more noticeable the longer you use it.

I’ve had these controllers a lot over the years. I love the textured thumb sticks and textured grips around the controller. One of the best controller on the market for Microsoft. Highly recommend this controller

The grip and controller is better than the first , not complicated but I got sticky buttons .

Husband loved the color and elite controllers are so limited on colors, we were excited to get red.

I use this controller everyday for at least a couple hours a day and it works phenomenally. It has some use on it now but it still works great. Has a long battery that I love

Great controller. The battery holds its charge. Comfortable to hold while playing gamea.

Best feeling controller ive ever used in my 20 yrs of gaming. If your wanting a great controller without the paddles this is it.

Awesome controller. So many customization options. Its so comfortable. Playing fps is where this shines. Must Buy.

Controller is excellently customizable, easy to use, but slightly over-priced compared to comparable controllers in my opinion. Only really negative is the paddles aren't as good as some other controllers - had to rearrange them to feel better for play.

This product is top of the line i would recommend it to anyone

After needing to replace my series one elite controller, I was able to get in an order for pickup for the series two. And while I haven’t encountered any drift issues, I have a sticky/defunct A button. So now I have one dedicated paddle after doing some remapping of the paddle controls to manipulate the function of the A button. It’s not ideal, however it works in a pinch, took some adjustments on my case, as I had not used the paddles on my series one. Lucked out on the left and right bumper/trigger buttons as they all work without a hitch. I do like how you can adjust the tension in the control sticks a major improvement over the series one, though I do see this eventually leading towards drift issues, especially since I have mine pretty much as loose as possible, FPS and the like, gaming pretty much faster/wider range of motion. To that end I did get geek squad coverage, should a drift issue arise. I can understand why the price may be a no go for some, but if you’ve got a Series S/X, then why not have a controller on the same par (more or less)?

It’s amazing quality with all the bells and whistles, but probably not good enough to warrant an almost TWO HUNDRED dollar price tag. You will feel buyers remorse for awhile, but very good quality - it’s Xbox’s best controller ever made, period.

Throw your Scuf controller in the trash. Go for the Elite Series 2…much more nicer and does everything the Scuf does..plus it doesn’t make a $400 paperweight like mine did. GET THE 2 YEAR GEEK SQUAD WARRANTY because you can experience some issues but they will swap it right out.

bought a few of these for myself and friends. great feel, great customization and worth every penny.

Nice feel, great grip and heft. Also comes with a very nice charging cradle.

This is the best controller I’ve gotten in a while! I was hesitant to spend the money for a controller but it was definitely worth it as it is so easy to customize to the kind of player you are. The detachable thumb sticks and paddles are easy to customize for crouching quickly and moving fast in the COD game. The case is sturdy and charging is simple and fast. From what I can read you’ll also be able to use this controller for the upcoming Xbox system so worth the purchase!
