Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love this controller I’ve had a lot of fun with it and ever since I bought one I can’t go back to just a regular controller. This is my second one and I was sad when I broke my other one and happy to be able to get a new one and it’s even my favorite color. The controller itself is amazing and feels great to hold. The controls are customizable and the paddles definitely give me an edge over my opponents. I highly recommend buying this controller if you want quality for a good price it’s definitely worth the cost.

Feels like about 100 dollars worth of controller for the low low price of 200 dollars. Honestly it has some neat features, the typical things found on previous iterations of elite and scuf controllers but with added things like 3 quick change profiles, adjustable stick tension and a very long lasting recharablge battery pack that recharges when placed back inside its case. I'll be eager to see if my favorite microsoft controller feature will make a triumphant return on the elite version 2....stick drift, it's been missing so far, but its not outside its factory warranty period...so there's still time.

When you pick up this controller quality is the first thing you feel. You know this is what you paid for. The heaviness, the quality, the perfect textured grip shows the Xbox took this controller to the next level. Even better than the first generation of this controller. Then to top it off, you can add custom button mapping to Each button even change the color of the Xbox logo. Everything from customization to mapping is just a nice touch.

The microsoft elite controller 2 is the best controller Ive owned! The grip on the handle is very comfortable, the adjustable triggers and joysticks make it the most personalized controller out there currently!! It’s rechargeability is exactly what XBOX has been missing all these years!! The controller may be a little pricey but in comparison to the stock controller, this controller blows it out of the water!!

This controller has been through hell with the amount of times it has been dropped, but I still have no stick drift and it works amazing. The feel of the controller in your hands is equivalent if not better than a scuff controller. If you are debating between an Elite controller vs a Scuff, definitely buy this because a scuff controller will get stick drift after 2-3 drops, and is very fragile. For reference I have really huge hands and it doesn’t seem to effect the feel of the controller in my hand at all.

Nice weight, solid rubber grip, and love the triggers how they lock up. Just wish it wasn’t so expensive

Hands down the best controller to use for PC gaming or on a Xbox console. 40 hours of battery life on a single charge, plus seamless integration with windows computers makes it very simple to set up and start using. The controller buttons/layout are always recognized without needing 3rd party software and the ability to purchase a small USB wireless adapter makes it all the more seamless. It does everything all the fancy 3rd party controllers does, at a better price.

I bought it when it has sell. I’m very happy with it, premium built. Feel comfort holding in my hand, easily to reach out all the buttons. Doesn’t make my hand sweet for long time gaming. It would be perfect if it comes with the paddles

This thing is amazing. Feels great, textured grips, and multiple customization with thumbsticks. The case is awesome too, you can charge it while it's in the case.

Xbox elite controller definitely is the step up every xbox gamer should be given the gift of, from being super comfortable to ultimate customization on textures to the controls, even the 4-paddle trigger backing to the controller is next level

Excellent controller! Well worth it for the customization alone. A more comfortable and quality controller compared to stock ones.

Great Controller, terrible stick drift after prolonged use.

This is my second Elite S2 the first lasted about a year and the left stick was broken all the way up couldn't bring it back down. The A button would get stuck down and the LB RB would stick. Keep in mind im retired and I game constantly, well over 90hrs a week, so I'm pretty abusive to my controllers. I would guess about 2-3 years for a normal usage gamer. I love the controller and im going to keep buying them as they break until they have a new model. Its conformable customizable and lasts way longer than your standard edition. Sure its expensive but I think the price is worth it. (Get the warranty)

works as intended, definitely doesnt stick drift like regular controller and love the customization

Best controller. Proce is a bit high but still worth it. Always get geek squad warranty. Best place ro purchase your controller.

I like the first elite controller, but it took a lot of abuse. The second elite controller has nice grips and texture on it. I bought an open box controller but so far it has everything and works perfect perfectly.

Is a controller really worth this kind of cash? I would normally say no, but this surprised me. Response time, customization, the weight and feel… all top notch.

Feels amazing in the hand. Much better weight than the regular controller and has so many options for customization! love the feel and the battery life is great

Right out of the box the quality of the controller is amazing, the weight from the metal and the grip they used felt amazing. All around it’s the best bang for your buck controller. The only reason I gave one less star is that I bought the controller assuming it came with paddles but it didn’t and that’s my fault obviously it caused me to go on amazon and buy and wait for the paddles to come.

I had bought this controller when it first came out and decided to get a 2nd one for my 2nd xbox series x. It's definitely a major upgrade from the elite series 1 controller. The rubber grips are better and I love how I'm able to change the tension on the thumb sticks. The quality is excellent. The ease of use is excellent. Very easy to set up and update and map the buttons to your liking. My only con about this controller is that's it's a little more expensive than the original elite controller with only a couple of upgrades. I would definitely recommend this to any hardcore or pro player.
