Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options, along with its comfortable feel and good weight. However, a significant concern among users is the prevalence of stick drift and issues with button quality, particularly with the bumpers and A button. The price is also a point of hesitation for some.

    Excellent customer service and great controller. Slightly more expensive than I would like to see but I don't regret the purchase at all.

    The GOAT

    The #1 thing I've learned over the past few years and dozens of controllers purchased is this: If you're serious about aiming in FPS games on Xbox (not PC/not my wheelhouse), you must buy 1st party Xbox controllers. Microsoft uses a custom algorithm that is only running when using their controllers. So using this knowledge that leaves 3 choices: Xbox Core, Xbox Elite 2 Core, and Xbox Elite 2. If you want back buttons, you have to go Elite. I can vouch that buying the latest lot number i could find of the Elite 2 Core gave me a controller that feels much more put together than an Elite 2 i got in 2020. It should last this time.

    Basically Brand new controller took my gaming to the next level I play cod so this helps me get back into peak performance online, perfect controller for competitive players and non competitive can’t wait til I buy the paddles for underneath the controller it helps a lot this isn’t my first elite controller but it is the coolest color scheme so far! Highly recommended! Pro gamer vibes. Grab them while their still available.

    This controller has been a literal game changer. I’m only disappointed I didn’t buy one sooner. You really notice how much better it is once you get it all set up and then switch back to the standard controller. My KD is way up since I changed to this controller. With FPS games thousandths of a second can be all the difference. This makes you faster and more precise and with the paddles you no longer have to take. Your fingers off other controls giving you the advantage.

    I have a rare bone disease in my wrist and it constantly hurts... when I play xbox with the standard controller... OMG. I completely stopped playing xbox because after 15 minutes, I wanted to cut my wrist off. THIS controller is a LIFE saver... having the triggers underneath changed my world. The fact that you can swap certain pieces out is cool too. It is easy to map and connectivity has never been an issue. Before my wrist issues, I played with a standard controller and I actually play BETTER with this one... perhaps a coincidence but I LOVE this controller. I have been using the 1st generation and will continue to until it craps out... this one is a back up that I played with for a few weeks to make sure it worked.

    A great controller which I purchased for when I was able to get a Series X. Have one now and the controller feels good in your hands. A hefty price tag but worth it and the battery life is definitely a selling point. If you can make sure you insure it

    This is my second elite 2 controller. The first one just quit working. Hit the xbox button and nothing..I had it about 7ish months. I always buy from Bestbuy and it cost me 40 to get this second one. When you buy their insurance and replace an item, you pay for the insurance on the product. Needless to say this one gas been going good for a little over a month. I love having the paddles on the back. I set them up so I don't have to push buttons. Also really like having the ability to make the right and left triggers have a shorter squeeze. Some games I like a longer squeeze and others short. Overall I would definitely give the controller a 5 star, however the first one has me gun shy. 4 star is it this go round. Definitely recommend, and recommend Bestbuy insurance.

    Overall a good controller. Bumpers and buttons are less responsive than a regular one. Definitely need to be upgraded, especially for the price you pay. Paddles are great, way better than the Scuff controller.

    Most premium controller I've ever held, however, I'm starting to notice some drift which is not good for a 2 month old controller worth nearly $200...
