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.

    Feels nice in my hands, and the button mechanics are solid. The use of the paddle mapping software is pretty easy too.

    Worked great at first but about 6 months into my replacement in started doing the same thing. LB doesnt always register, now its RB and one of the back buttons. I got the geek squad warranty and already used it and the replacement did the exact same thing.

    This controller is well built but it has terrible terrible terrible drift stick. This is my second unit and seriously it’s a design flaw! Disappointed.

    Purchased this for my boyfriend who wasn't very interested in upgrading his controller. He's so impressed and said this helps him shoot in pubg much more accurately. It definitely is worth the money. There's been a learning curve but other than that he's thrilled!

    My son loves the controller. Unfortunately, we have had to send back to Microsoft for a second time b/c the LB/RB buttons stop working. The first replacement lasted maybe two weeks :(

      Hello Jason,

      We're glad that your son loves his Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2, but sorry to hear that there was an issue with the first one he received. Thank you for your patience and we hope that the replacement works well for him.

      Happy gaming,

    I love my Xbox, the elite controller makes it even better. I love that it comes with a recharging dock that you can use in the case or remove it from the case but still use it. Great fit, finish and feel. The paddles aren't my thing but it's a great controller

    Look, this controller is awesome, I love playing on it... but just like the original elite controller, it gets stick drift and it gets it really fast. You are going to fall in love with this thing and a few months later it will be unusable. If you want to get this, make sure you get the geek squad protection or you will be stuck with a 180 dollar paperweight.
