Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have owned this for a month. I will updated if I have any issues in the coming months. I did not own the series 1 so I can not compare. I also do not play everyday, but more like 3 days a week and I have not had to charge the controller a second time yet. My favorite feature is the tighter tension on the thumbtacks and the hair triggers. I have no buttons that stick and they all register with a normal push. Nice heavy feel to the controller. The charge dock is a huge bonus and love that you are able to charge it in the case. No complaints yet. Highly recommended.

The controller feels great and gives you a competitive advantage in FPS games. The only issue is that not longer after use, you get some stick drift and the bumpers feel like they’re going out. It’s too expensive to go out as quickly as it does.

Great controller but the buttons tend to stop working and you get stick drift alot. Microsoft needs to rework these controllers big time. They do have great battery life though. Buy a warranty on this because after a year you will need another controller.

My son will not use anything else, he says this controller is great, it has so many functons and options for gaming of all kinds.

The whole controller is so comfortable, I can play for like 3 days straight without charging it, because I mainly play for 4 hours a day. The case that has the charger in as well is awesome!!

Can’t play without this controller. Great grip, great feel. Drifts in some games though, not all.

This is an excellent controller and entirely customizable for personal use or even special use cases in games you want different control styles. It is built like a brick s-house. The problems arise when connected to PC to game as advertised. The connection drop outs using bluetooth are infuriating. And yet, even with the cost, I refuse to use anything else. I even bought a second one for the game room in the basement. They are just that good. Certain games will have connection drops, such as Halo Infinite Campaign, AC Vallhalla, and Cyber Punk 2077. Some of those titles have somehow fixed the issue (or it has stopped happening to me at least) but some games persist in dropping connection. And its not a battery thing, or a pc problem. Its the actual controller signal. Heres the thing though, its worth the few headaches. I cant imagine not using these to game. They also have a great feature to allow more than one connection. You can connect it to your PC and if you want to quickly swap to an already connected xbox series x then you douple tap the tiny connection button and it should swap control to the new device as long as you have previously setup that connection. Well.made, accurate response, smooth triggers that can customize travel distance, extra paddles can be installed on the back, shoulder buttons are the best you have ever used, and the sticks have zero dead zone issues. Its an expensive beast, but it is worth it. You wont ever pickup the base contoller again once using the elite 2. Plus, it charges using usb c

I’ve always been a fan of these controllers. Love that you can tighten down the sticks, change how far you need to press the triggers, and also save 3 different settings for games.

Caught this while on sale and it's still holding up strong after a few months. Well worth picking up if you can catch it on sale. No stick drift yet, so fingers crossed.

Must have controller when playing games as longer battery life, easier rechargability, paddles, and stick tensioner

Battery life is amazing with lightning fast response. Fits perfect in hand with quality feeling material. Game changer!

Great controller. Paddles are easy to hit and have enough of a gap avoiding miss hits. Lots of fine tuning (hardware and software) I was not expecting. This is my go to. I wish it had a capture button. The work around I found is to set a custom capture button on a different profile. The controller allows for you to cycle through profiles very easily. It also has a great battery life.

Excellent controller. I enjoy the feel and the ability to map the back buttons. Other in the house also have different button mappings that are easily controlled directly from the controller. I have not experienced any drift and the RB/LB buttons haven't failed me like the E1

Really heavy, sturdy controller that has massive customization options... the charging case is pretty substantial and is a nice touch

Not a bad controller works well responds well but stick drift came in quick after about a few months had to return. The first one I bought was not working at all. The second one I got is working well other than a little bit of stick drift the Best Buy team was very helpful on swapping the controller for a new one.

Great upgrade to the previous Elite. I had an issue with the left joystick on the Elite 1. Swapped it for the Elite 2 and have been super impressed! Microsoft got smart and made this controller a rechargeable unit. It comes with a charging dock ad well. Best part...the battery life is GREAT! The controller feels very substantial in your hand and isn't flimsy AT ALL. I highly recommend! Make sure to get the Geek Squad warranty...just in case. Its totally worth it. Especially when you're spending this kind of cash on a controller!

I absolutely love this controller you cant beat it! I got one around 3 years ago and after about a year and half it got really bad stick drift whis is insanely annoying especially since its $180, you would think it wouldnt break but i guess not. Nonetheles, this is my second controller of it that im buying. Although this time i bought the warranty for it

good controller, works well, wow...the buttons. just great buttons. the buttons make me so...and i mean sooooooo...happy. wow, what a product.

One of the best controllers for gaming on Xbox/PC Good for if you need either a replacement for an older elite controller or if you already have the extra attachments

Much more appealing versus the previous models. Wireless with built in rechargeable battery with a dock, that you can plug in through the back of the case protecting everything whilst charging
