Customer Ratings & Reviews

The swappable thumbsticks, D-pad, and paddles allow for a highly customizable experience, catering to different play styles which was the main reason I made this purchase. I truly enjoy using this controller and I can’t wait to see what Microsoft does to the next generation of it.

I literally don't think I could game without this controller anymore. I'm hooked and dependent. Bought it for the paddles to be able to keep my thumbs on the sticks for Call of Duty Warzone and it does exactly that. Takes a bit to come around to using the paddles. I only use the two small back paddles for jump and slide, my brain can't comprehend four of them lol. But honestly, so worth the money. I see people complain about the series 1 controllers and maybe even series 2, I've had zero problems. The additional thumbstick sizes, the standard d pad, charging dock, case, customizable setups, wireless aspect and just the weight/grips make this controller awesome. It's seriously so crucial.

I really love the elite controller. Thanks to Best Buy and the Protection Plan I was able to replace my broken controller. Plus I got this on sale. I do love the weight of it and the paddle buttons on the bottom for extra buttons. The D-pad has a nice feel and so does the joystick. I do like the battery life. I myself never ran out of power. It comes with a case that you can sit your controller in and connect the USB-C cable so it can charge inside the case. I love that I can pair this with my PC.

I recently bought the Xbox Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller from Best Buy, and it's fantastic for PC gaming. The rubberized grips are incredibly comfortable, making long sessions a breeze. With excellent customization options and responsive controls, this controller is a great investment for serious gamers. Highly recommend!

What can I say this controller is the GOAT of controllers, never had any stick drift issues, the battery last weeks if not months no issue and I'm a heavy gamer. Well built and cant take a good fall or two. connectivity is not a issue with this controller and I connect it to multiple devices and it always works. I cant see MS coming out with a 3 sine this one hits all the check marks TBH.

This controller is a game-changer for competitive or enthusiast players who value customization and don't want to take their thumbs off the sticks. However, due to its price and potential quality control issues, it's often recommended to purchase an extended warranty for peace of mind.

By far the best controller on the market. Battery life is amazing and the grip is perfect.

I like being able to program the A,B,X,Y buttons to the bottom levers

One of the best controllers out there, period. Great customization for buttons and sticks. Nice weight and works on almost anything. And remember that your settings are saved on the controller so they travel with you. Downside is that this can only be programmed on a PC or Xbox (as far as I know). The one thing that is bad is that I've had two of these and within 2 years the RB button stopped working on both(this is a known issue) so get a warranty. If Microsoft could fix this it would be perfect (for most)

Works excellent and no issues with connecting or stick drift!

Great feel. Lighter than the original elite and more durable. Cheaper but you don’t get the paddles.

Good controller no drift with replacement parts. Really durable and comfortable to hold

Works as intended and it very comfortable to use compared to the stock controller type.

Excellent controller featuring enhanced movement and durability

Just like the original Elite Controller it is amazing with more! It's slightly lighter, it has more grip! The magnetic clamps are much stronger! It almost feels like I'm gonna break it but do not be afraid it is just stronger! I love it and I can't get enough of it!

very solid. comfy. works well, joysticks and buttons feel very solid!

Excellent controller. Feels sturdy and satisfying in the hands. The customization options are really nice, with obvious design choices aimed at different genres of gaming. The adjustable triggers feel solid in all settings and treating them like a button is satisfying in both fps and RPGs. The case is, I'll just say it, really cool- the charge block is magnetized to the zipper pouch and it's a really aesthetic setup. Plus there's more than enough extras here to support getting a second controller in the much cheaper core series.

Elite controls are miles ahead of the game. Elite two takes one step forward and two steps back. Grip in my opinion is better, it does 3 saved profiles instead of 2 and has a shift key feature. The paddles on the back are made out of metal and good luck breaking them. Three settings on your tiggers for more control firing. My problem, bumpers, I've had about 10 elites 2 and all of them have the same problem, the bumpers go out within 6 to 12 months.

Best controllers love em. Nice you can get this without all the accessories for less!

Has a certain weight and feel to it that makes gaming feel a little more immersive. It’s a little pricey but after playing on this for a few weeks it’s hard to go back to a regular controller .
