Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great controller and it is totally worth it. The battery last what seems like forever. I rarely have to charge and when I do it’s lightening quickly because of usb-c. If you enjoy gaming and not paying for batteries or silly pack then purchase this controller.

Awesome control! The paddles in the back are an awesome add on to the gameplay. Very customizable.

Battery lasts a long time but I think controller is overpriced.

My Boyfriend loves it. works great and very smooth definitely recommend.

I love the Elite controllers. This is my 3rd in a matter of years and Microsoft kinda needs to look into some of the ongoing issues, but this is one of the best controllers out there.

My son loves his controller, he puts many hours on it and the controller is very durable

The device was not functioning by any means the whole left side was dead. But that’s to Best Buy I got my money back the next day great service but hope that the open box stuff gets tested better and actually deemed fit for resell

The controller feels great and well built. The ease of swapping out the joysticks or removing paddles is amazing. But with all that being said i do not believe this controller is worth its hefty price tag. You can buy 4 or 5 regular controllers for the price of this, or even a console. Way too expensive so in the end decided to return it.

I bought this as a bday gift for my husband because the older model wasn’t exactly working for him anymore. Weve both been impressed by the customization abilities and overall performance. Overall, a great purchase.

Great controller, but very prone to stick drift as well as rb or r3 going bad in my experience. Get the warranty.

Elite controllers are the best way to go if you want to really get your game on lol

Really like this controller. Comes with different stick options. Really like optional taller stick (wish it came with two instead of one). Also has the ability to adjust the tension on the sticks with the included tool USB C connection. Includes nice case and charging dock. Battery is built into the controller so not replaceable. Battery life is excellent!

As an avid gamer, I can confidently say that the Microsoft Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller is an absolute game-changer. Packed with advanced features and top-notch build quality, this controller takes gaming to a whole new level of precision and customization.

Bought the controller when it first released. Approve of the feel and back panels. Unfortunately, the left Thumb Stick lost its clicking, most likely due to overuse/user. Fortunately, purchased the Geek Squad Protection and was able to get a replacement back in August 2020; had to purchase a new Geek Squad Protection plan that was higher than the original price :(

I have now had 4 pro controllers and each one has a peice that stops working after 2-3 months of gaming. The first 2 were the original elite series and the second 2 were the elite series 2. Each controller has had a button stop working and to make things worse they’re different buttons EVERY TIME. DO NOT buy without a protection plan I made that mistake on the first 2.

Took a moment to get used to the extra paddles (which are optional) but I can't go back to a regular controller now. Only issue I found is that the rubber grip on the controller will peel off with time. I suggest getting a cover/sleeve for it to prevent or delay that issue from happening.

This controller is good but is it the best? Ill never know. I only trust microsoft products for gaming as other controllers arnt labeled "Xbox" now. Do i think its worth it? Welp. Depends lol. Do you make 360 no scope trick shots and make your controllers beg for softer less manlier hands? If the answer is no then stick to your boring, worthless less cool standard controller. If you want those cool 460 non no scope tacticular cam kill kill killers ya gonna have to shell out the guap (Money) for the Elite. But good luck cus i have more hours in games then your grandma has hours in the kitchen so trust me. The regular controller is just fine! As far as upgrades from last year it has adjustable Thumbsticks (wich is the best upgrade IMO as my 360 no scope sensitivity demands a harder tug) and other cool customizations i could care less about.

I love the controller, in principle....it will last 8 hrs of continuous game play, nice grip and easy to handle...and I'm hoping I just got a lemon, but within 7 months it began shutting off every 30 to 45 min and has a drift on it when left alone. Returned it for a new one and we will see how that goes.

I love this controller you really do pay for quality here. It’s nice and heavy and lets you really feel like you have control.

Was very skeptical about this at first due to the high cost, but after using it a few times I love how easy it is to use and how you can customize your settings. This controller makes game play much easier and more enjoyable
