Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the controller's exceptional overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. Users also frequently praise the device's comfortable grip, balanced weight, and high-quality tactile feel. However, some customers have expressed concerns regarding the durability of the buttons and bumpers, as well as the early onset of stick drift. Despite these technical frustrations and the premium price point, many still consider it a top-tier gaming accessory.

    It’s a very overpriced controller That’s really awesome I had the original one and the grips came off after a year. The new version seems to be holding up well and the wireless charging is nice

    I own the Elite pro 2 remote and basically this is the same controller without the extra paddles. However, of you already own an Elite pro 2, you can use the attachments from it on this one which saves you a few dollars.

    Excellent controller... The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 feels a lot better than the included controller in the Series X/S and seems more like a true "next gen" controller.

    The trigger stops provide an advantage in game, and the interchangeable buttons help with comfort. And not to mention the paddles to assist with quicker reaction while in game.

    This is a fantastic gaming controller. The only downside is that the grip starts to come undone with heavy play.

    I had the gen 1 elite and loved it so naturally I purchased the gen 2 and immediately fell in love with this one just as much as I did with the first one. The controller feels comfortable while playing for long amounts of time with the rubber grips all around and I love the fast charge with the new usb-c charger.

    This is my second elite 2 controller. The first one was a base model. Within 2 years the RB stopped working which is a common issue, but you need solder and replace a ten dollar part to fix it. Which I tried and failed to do. So the core comes along and I had hoped maybe they fixed but they did not. About 1 month after my extended warranty expired the RB button died again. Honestly I wouldn’t recommend this control based on the failure rate. Especially on a premium product. The only reason I gave it 2 stars is because when it works it’s my favorite controller. I can justify the price.

    I had the elite series 1. I don’t know if this is worth the upgrade if you already have an elite controller. The improvements are great, and much welcomed but that being said had my elite 1 controller not broke and I know what I know about the series 2. I wouldn’t have upgraded.

    This is the best controller, unfortunately the rubber pads don’t last that long, maybe 10-11 months for heavy use (20 hrs a week), my advice, add the geek squad warranty, totally worth it. For that reason I don’t do the 5 starts

    Best controller I’ve ever use, it is expensive but it really is worth the price, got an extended warranty because I’ve heard they are prone to have factory defects over time, would recommend other people to buy the warranty too, bought it 7 months ago and it hasn’t given me any problem.
