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.

    Pretty displeased. I bought this on January 2024. Couple years back I bought the Elite series black controller and it started going out so I figured I give this one a shot since it was cheaper. First and foremost it does NOT have all the additional buttons that the other controller has. Moreover, within a month of owning this controlle. For a $130 controller I expect something thats going to last abit longer than 2 months. Overall, get the black Elite. Not this hunk of junk.

    Such an awesome controller. The additional controls on the bottom are really helpful. Currently on the 3rd controller due to issues with bumpers. Likely normal wear and tear so can't complain much.

    Excellent controller. I bought the first generation when it came out and a Geek Squad warranty (which was, and still is with any gaming peripheral, a necessity) and had to replace it multiple times. This controller, however, they improved DRASTICALLY on the quality. Same great features as the first generation, just updated and perfected this time around.

    I've had the elite series 1 controller since it came out, and I thought it was the best and it couldn't get any better, so I was skeptical about picking up the elite 2, but I was not disappointed!! Its a complete revamp and it feels even better in the hands, and with all the adjustable features, I'm sure you'll find a comfortable setting, I give this a 20 star rating out of ten stars

    The buttons are smooth and work great. The grip of the remote is comfortable for my small hands and my fiances big hands. I am excited to look at the interchangable parts.

    First off, this is a fantastic controller to game on. The customizations, and weight / feel are as good as it gets. But the mechanical design is flawed. We bought three (2 elite, 1 elite 2). Elite thumb sticks have all failed, 2 we bought plus one replacement. elite 2 failed on right bumper, and left small Button by d pad.

      Hey there,

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. We're sorry to hear that you've experienced issues with it, though. Every new Xbox controller comes with a 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty from Microsoft so if it's still within the warranty period we recommend reaching out to Xbox Support for assistance here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,

    Honestly, I was skeptical as I had the elite 1 and didn't see how it was going to be improved on. Well, internal reachable battery for one. Great feel on both sticks for 2 and included charger.

    Good controller! Could be a user issue, but much heavier than PS5. Wears on my knuckles, BUT it’s pure quality.
