Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had the black Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller for at least 3 years when the left bumper slowly stopped working. After researching online, there did not seem to be an easy fix. I loved the feel of the controller as well as how it handled and the myriad of fine tune adjustment sone can make compared to the regular wireless controller. I also loved how well it fit in my hands and comfortable it feel in addition to responsiveness. I kept an eye on a new controller with BB, as I am a BB Total member and I try to make any electronics purchase through BB for the added protection. I grabbed this controller at the incredible price of $109.99 new, and the avg. sale price was $124.99. I had $15 in certificates as well to use, so extra great deal. Ordered online and ready within an hour. Enjoying playing Xbox games again! I appreciate the deals with BB!

The red is great. The weight is great. I use this exclusively for my PC and I love it. Immediately connects, batter lasts forever and different joystick options a welcome addition.

Great buy. One of the best controllers you can get out there, because of the possibilities. Of rearranging the buttons for your gaming style. It was surprisingly light for A controller Also had nice grips for the hands to hold on to. I had broke part of my left hand pinky bone, and because of the ability to change the placement of buttons, thanks to the paddles on the controller, I was able to keep playing the games that I liked especially since a new release came out. And I couldn't quite hold the controller right for the one side. But because of the remapping of the buttons, I was able to still play

Upon multiple attempts of buying/returning different controllers of all brands I finally broke down and bought an Elite. I’ve always thought about buying one but never brought myself to do so because of the price point. Honestly 1000 % worth it! Everything else I had either had some kind of issue a few weeks in or just didn’t feel right. The Elite controller definitely feels amazing especially with the rubberized grips, it doesn’t slide nor do I feel myself having to grip the controller any tighter than normal to keep it steady. The thumb sticks take a little getting used to as they’re a little heavier and have a different kind of bounce back (in a good way). It’s really not too heavy at all for a wireless controller and this is coming from an avid player who prefers wired! Happy Gaming!

I’ve used many controllers over the years, and the Xbox Elite Series 2 is easily the best one I’ve ever had. The build quality feels premium the moment you hold it, the grip is comfortable for long gaming sessions, and the customizable paddles and triggers make a huge difference in competitive games. Battery life is excellent, and the responsiveness is incredibly smooth and precise. What really impressed me is how customizable everything is. Being able to adjust trigger sensitivity, stick tension, and button mapping makes the experience feel truly next level. Whether I’m playing shooters, racing games, or sports titles, this controller gives me a noticeable advantage and makes gaming much more enjoyable. It’s expensive, but honestly worth every dollar if you take gaming seriously. Microsoft absolutely nailed the design and performance with this controller. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a professional-quality gaming experience. 5/5 without hesitation.

Nice weight to it. Excellent battery life. Hot-swappable sticks and paddles allow extensive customization. Adjustable triggers, adjustable torque on the sticks. Swappable D-pad. Paddle switches are metal, as well as the D-pads. Texturized rubber grips help reduce slipping, though it does not eliminate it completely. Charges on a USB-C type cable, so it won't work with other xbox controller charging cables. Nice case with it as well, and includes a pass-thru for the charging cable and a charging stand.

Most comfortable controller ive ever used. Extremely durable. Buttons and Joysticks are solid and responsive. Battery life is very impressive.

Just get a regular or the actual pro, this mixture makes no sense. Ended up returning.

This controller is the best thing on the market. But it has the one flaw that will kill it if you don’t baby this thing. Stick drift. So many are returned because of stick drift. I already returned one and tried a couple different controllers which all feel cheap in comparison. My best advice. Treat this thing like a child to get the most life out of it. Don’t let it drop on the floor at all. That may have been what killed my last one.

Great controller. Love the ability to customize and the weight of the controller. The rechargeable battery already included in the controller is nice as well.

Amazing controller! Although it kind of has to be with the price. Everything about the controller is worth it. The controller feels premium through and through, from the grip to the buttons and triggers. It's very customizable with the button mapping and the hardware. Easily the most comfortable controller. The only issue is that the weight might take some getting used to. I've also heard that some users experienced sticky buttons but haven't come across any problems! Worth the money if you can spend it.

This controller is so much better, than the one it replaced!! My old controller keep having issues with buttons and controller sticks sticking! I very satisfied with the performance of this controller!! It was a great purchase!!

The Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller for Xbox Series is a game-changer. The premium feel and comfortable design make it a pleasure to use during long gaming sessions. The quiet operation of the buttons and triggers enhances the experience, adding a subtle touch of quality. Customization is a key feature—interchangeable thumbsticks and a precise D-pad let me tailor the controller to my playstyle, while the adjustable thumbstick tension adds a competitive edge. The wireless connection is flawless, providing lag-free gaming with no connectivity issues. The long-lasting battery is a welcome bonus, and the durable, ergonomic design ensures hours of comfortable play. Plus, the sleek look with its matte finish adds a professional touch to my Xbox setup. Overall, the Elite Series 2 Core is the perfect balance of comfort, customization, and performance—a must-have for any serious gamer.

Love the look and feel of the elite Controller and the built in rechargeable battery and life is great. The customization of the controller is also great. Now for the bad news this will always break and usually in under a year so you must get an extended warranty to make this product work. I have had 10 of these of which I bought 2 so I could have a backup when the other one is getting replaced or fixed. They break easily because they are so heavy you absolutely can. It drop them period. Stick drift is also very common and I probably put more tension than most on the sticks. I only recommend these if you get them on sale under 100 bucks and also if an extended warranty is available at a good price, otherwise do not buy. I will say this is the last pair I will buy and will try a higher quality brand in the future.

This is a great controller! The charge lasts a long time. I like the grip and the weight of it. The different settings on the underneath are nice too especially for racing games. Very easy to pair to my console. I also like that you can change out the joysticks as well. Highly recommend!

Love the customization. Only downside I have is sometimes the left thumb stick won’t click in fully when held forward for games like COD or a game that requires left thumb stick input for sprinting. Battery life is phenomenal, love the charging case. Overall, great controller to have.

I have had my controller for over a month and barely had to charge it yesterday! I use my controller almost daily for about 3 hours. I love how the controller feels in my hands. Perfect for control customizations. Recommend 10/10. #TeamElite:)

This is one of the best premium controllers you can get. It has a premium feel and weight to it. The thumbsticks being fully customizable is very useful and the paddles on the back are game changing. The only issue I have is that sometimes there is stick drift but it's not bad and you can adjust dead zone settings to help with that.

Overall just a fantastic controller. Great build quality, has some nice weight to it, and the accessory app allows for really awesome customization. I tell people not to expect the controller to be perfect; it's still suceptible to stick drift and buttons breaking over time. These minor issues are really only ever gonna happen if you're hard on the controller like I am, and the protection plan covers any conceivable issues.

Hands down the best controller you can get that is also an official license product. Very comfortable and easy to customize even though it receives bad reviews due to stick drift and some button problems at least now Microsoft is giving the elite series 2 a 1 year warranty. Everything works perfect as of now even though I only had it a few weeks but been using it daily with no problems I will update after 6 months or more to see how it holds up
