Customer Ratings & Reviews

This controller is amazing! It is a little bit pricey but the grip and weight make it feel premium! I have been using this thing for over a year and have been very happy with it!

The elite series 2 controller is an excellent upgrade from the standard Xbox controller. The addition of the paddles on the back help to make FPS games like Call of Duty flow easier when you do not have to move your thumb off the analog sticks to reload. The variety of accessories that can be bought for this Core edition makes it an easy buy.

Great controller, Exchangeable buttons, paddles and sensitivity curve

Love the way this thing feels in my hands. I don't use the extra buttons so it's nice how you can remove them. The thumbsticks feel nice too and you can swap them out for different ones.

I purchased mine shortly after it released, though it wasn't delivered until November of 2019. I'm mostly a PC gamer, but I need a controller for occasional games that don't require M+KB. This seemed like a very robust and long lasting option compared to regular xbox controllers at the time. In short, the features are great, and it worked very well for about a year, but then it started having issues with the bumpers not registering a press every time. Now it takes many presses to get the bumpers to register a keypress. The joysticks also have a tendency to bounce too far to the opposite direction when I release them, causing me to snap the opposite direction I was intending to face. I called Microsoft to ask about repair, and they were very nice, but also explained I was out of warranty and repair would cost $100 plus shipping. A new one is only $165, so that repair cost feels a little steep. It seems like such a waste to throw it away after not even two years, but it's no longer reliable for gaming. I was certainly hoping it would be easier and cheaper to repair. The controller has great features and feels better to hold for long gaming sessions, but I'm a little disappointed with the longevity of the device.

First things first this is an expensive controller and there a lot of other things to spend money on. But if you have the funds or are looking for a gift for an Xbox gamer, this is an awesome controller package. Everything has been built from the ground up to be the best (within reason) way to play on Xbox. The interchangeable parts, the quick settings for how different parts like the d pad react to your input is really well thought out, the nice bonus here is the really nice case it comes in, the usb c charging capability and the charging dock that can either be in the case or outside the case.

I was leery to pick up another expensive controller since the v1 grips peeled on mine. It has been a few months of average use and I see much improvement. It feels great in my hand, grips are a little light but I’ve had no issues with it slipping. Battery life is good and I enjoy the new charging station. I really don’t use the back buttons all that much so I won’t speak in their function. The triggers are smooth but again not all games recognize the short trigger pulls. Overall it’s a great controller that is more of a luxury item over a need. If you have the funds, go for it. If not, you won’t miss a lot

Love this controller. Best xbox controller I have ever felt and can't get over how much I enjoy the paddles. Definitely an upgrade from the Series 1 Elite Controller.

It's way better then factory controller. I definitely would get another one

Lasts 2 years of heavy daily use b4 srick drift. Get the warranty.

bought this for my for my son as a Christmas present , He totally loves it.,

love the controller but experiencing stick drift after about 1 year.

Amazing controller the elite controller always feels better than the base controller!

I got this controller because the original controller that came with my series s stopped working. I was unsure at first to pick this up because of the price and I heard cases of these pro controllers drifting and not working. But a friend had one and said it was great. So I took the risk and so far this controller works fine and I love the little features it has like adhust the tension of the sticks and the trigger stops. Overall a solid controller

I got this as an open box item. It didnt have the box for it but I understand that. Did come with everything else which was nice. Controller is nice. The top bumpers are a little stiff but i figure the more I use it the looser they will get. Over all nice controller. A little heavy too. I would recommend it though. Def helps with movement in fps games.

Improved game play with back buttons/paddles. works great

Haven’t had them very long but love them so far. Love the profile option so you can have a couple saved presets.

So far so good. I've been using it for a month now and no issues. Hopefully this holds up. 1 year warranty. But again so far so good. I purchased this knowing i didn't feel the need for the extras , like the paddles. But maybe 1 day I'll change my mind. A full Charge on this controller last for a long while. About 30 to 40 hours on a single charge. Love the white and black color scheme. I never used the black elite 2 version. So i can't compare the two. But Overall I'm happy with this controller.

Great for gaming. Helps give you an edge. Does take some time to get used to but worth the money!

Great quality and easy customization. Wireless charging pad was a great bonus
