Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works amazingly with many different options for customization. Additionally you have the ability swap out your joysticks for different play styles to reach the optimal results you desire. This controller will also maintain a charge for significantly longer than other controller's.

I can't tell you how long this controller will last but all my othe xbox controllers have failed me in one way or another. So far so good

Great high end controller recommend it to anyone not only great for Xbox but pc also and the paddles and exchangeable sticks and d-pad are nice and also Bluetooth's to your phone. Sturdy well built customizable controller

red and black Xbox Elite Series 2 is a gem for any gamer seeking precision durability and style. Its striking design, premium build quality, and advanced features fully justify its reputation as one of the best controllers on the market.

Great controller definitely worth its price. Great for racing games and also FPS games. The ability to map the buttons and having different levels of trigger response makes a huge difference. The 4 extra paddles in the back are great to have shortcuts with certain games.

Awesome controller! Easy to use and comfortable in the hand. Love this color combination and charging is quick and easy

Controller feels premium! Great build cool case you can charge it in. Everything about my working one is awesome unfortunately the first one I purchased had mechanical sticking A and X buttons. Luckily Best Buy quickly replaced it for me as it was a factory defect! Was worth the investment if you are interested in a premium controller

The grips are nice, the mutiple pads are really nice i have smaller hands so two is enough, clicking one button can set 3 different preset paddle binds, its inconvenient if your good at multiple games that need different button binds, Many reviews and people say that the bumbers start to fail first but really just take care of it and dont just set it anywhere

Great controller, no issues and a good value . Honestly can't wait for the 3rd generation as well.

I bought this for my son at Christmas. He absolutely loves it!

Amazing Controller – Great Feel and Performance! The Elite Series 2 Core (White) is absolutely worth it! The build quality feels premium, the buttons and thumbsticks are super responsive, and the adjustable tension is a game-changer for shooters and racing games. The wireless connection is solid, battery life is strong, and the clean white design looks fantastic. If you're looking to upgrade your Xbox or PC gaming experience, I highly recommend this controller!

This controller is amazing in every way except 1. I would think that a $200 controller would last more than a year and a half before the sticks started drifting with no way to fix. I have original XBOX 360 controllers that I still use years and years later. Those cost $60 and still work perfectly, but this super expensive (and totally worth the price for how it works... when it works) controller needs to be replaced not even 2 years after purchase. I am a middle aged man who uses this probably a quarter of what a young kid would and it always gets stored in its cradle after use, and still.... have to replace it already. This is a problem I see hundreds of videos referencing too, so it is not isolated. I hope they fix it in future generations of controllers, because everything about it is truly Elite, except its life span.

Must have for gamers. This core elite series 2 doesn't come with case or paddles but is a replacement for the elite series 2 controller. In my opinion I would buy the extended warranty so when thumbsticks or bumpers wear out you can easily replace.

Great controller. Because of the button mapping and paddles I was able to greatly improve response times in some games. Played numerous house and very very very minimal stick drift. The elite series controller are always my go to. Some say it’s a little heavy but to me I like the weight and doesn’t seem cheap.

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

This controller is quite literally the peak of controller design. No stick drift, infinite customization (both physical and digital),and snappy response time. I have no issues with this product and it has only help me improve in competitive games such as Call of Duty, Fortnite, and Destiny 2.

This controller is perfect for anyone who already has an elite series 2 controller and is looking to replace their old one. You can use the old attachments on this new one and and it feels literally the same. So far no issue and price is fair compared to the normal elite series 2 controller.

First Elite controller, and the difference is noticeable. Power button clicks firmly, weight is heavier than normal controller, and triggers feel firmer. I feel the rear buttons are a bit of a gimmick (or I haven't gotten to set them up right) but for right now they get in the way. Definitely hoping it'll last more than my traditional controller, which usually fails because the right trigger ends up becoming sticky.

Well, let me just say that I hesitated for years on getting this controller because of the cost and also because I'm not very big on many controller based games on PC... However, recently I purchased Star Wars Squadrons on PC and let me tell you that this controller is a GAME CHANGER for that game and I'm sure I will find many more games that I will benefit greatly in... For starters, the build quality is fantastic, this feels like a premium controller, it makes my Xbox One controller feel like a cheap toy in comparison. The customization is great, I like playing with the Xbox 360 tension on the sticks, and it's great to have 3 different options to choose from. The BIGGEST selling point for me and many of you of course is the BACK BUTTONS, and let me tell you that these buttons are giving me a HUGE ADVANTAGE in Star Wars Squadrons. Being able to keep both my thumbs on both the thumb sticks at ALL TIMES while toggling my power systems as desired(using the back buttons) allows me to continue to track targets and/or escape enemies without losing control of my ship. It's just a huge advantage being able to multitask without having to reach over the controller to press other buttons. MY KDR nearly doubled overnight after I got used to the controller and now I regret going so long with this controller. Another thing is I think Microsoft totally nailed the configuration of the back buttons, they're not too big or not too small, just perfect. I even spent the extra money on the GeekSquad Protection to cover my controller for a few extra years. If you feel you will benefit from the back buttons in whatever it is you're currently playing, stop reading this review and purchase now or when you see a sale on this thing.

Very well made. Lots of options for customization. There is an included case as well, which is very well designed. There's a charging station that can either sit in the case or on its own, and works either way, which I thought was a nice touch. I got it as a gift, and it was easy for them to set up and use. I'm not sure it's worth the MSRP price (I got it on sale), but it's definitely very well designed.
