Customer Ratings & Reviews

Microsoft's Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 has a not only a premium feel as noted by other reviewers, but also a quality appearance. Optional buttons and adjustments that be made to the controller only add to a stellar gaming experience. Price point might be considered a bit high, but definitely worth it if it can be purchased at a sale price.

It is a nice controller it would be a great controller if they could fix all the issues with the drift and the dead zones and also the price is kind of high for what it is I think it should be only about $80 I don't think it's worth the almost $200 it would be a $200 controller if it used Titanium or something but I'm sure the cost of the material is not warranted $200 but it is a nice controller over the stock ones. I like the stock ones too of course it doesn't have all the other features that the this one has but I can live with the stock one because it's only $49 on sale and this is $200 so I can buy four regular controllers for the price of one of these but it's up to you preference and your money situation

Got this to replace the old elite core controller. This feels somewhat better but the black runner grip is coming loose after one month. RB still works & no drift yet. Definitely buy the replacement warranty. Too expensive not to.

Great battery life, feel, quality. Now that I'be used paddles, I can't go back. Took off one star due to weak bumper design. This gen is better than last, but still not very durable.

Bought it for my husband for Christmas and he absolutely loves it.

*Buy the GS Protection Plan!* I thought the "2" in Series 2 would indicate an upgrade in parts and components.... I was stupidly optimistic and wrong. Pros: - Grip - Swappable Magnetic Thumbsticks & D-Pad - Paddles - 10 Foot Cable - Case w/ Charger - Multiple Swappable Profiles Cons: - Same terrible buttons and triggers - When you press RB x1 you get RB x3... "The math checks out" - Will Ferrell... This was my third Elite controller and yet another dud... My first one got stick drift in around 3 months... My second one had a mushy/ bad A button coupled with a paddle that wouldn't register presses every time... THIS ONE however had the triple pressing RB after about 6 months... The sad part is at the time I was playing a lot of MLB The Show and while RB is used it isn't like using A or X but eventually one day I was cycling through the dashboard pressing RB and without fail every time it would move me over 3 times.. Tested it in different games and triple press every time. It will be a long time before they completely re-haul these controllers.. But we will unfortunately continue to support them and buy these inferiorly built ones. If they do ever decide to use more premium buttons, bumpers and triggers this controller would be the King. Until then.. if you do decide to gamble on one spend the extra money for the Geek Squad Protection plan! You will end up using it.. I promise.

Best pro controller just have to fix Lb and Rb Drift is OK not bad

One of the most comfortable controllers I’ve used in a very long time. I’m usually not a fan of grips on the controller but it really feels nice and another plus would be the battery life I rarely have to recharge my controller

Love the controller. Great holiday gift for someone this season. Has a great battery life. I probably need to charge it every week and a half or so. Feels very high quality. I dont want to go back to a reqular controller. Highly recommend

Great controller! Unfortunately the newer version came out so my nephew exchanged it for a newer version!

Love the feel and adjusability the customazation for button maping is super helpfull for those games you cant get the settinvs you whant and makes every game playable my only issue is that it has a tendency to divelop stick drift after a while but you can increase the dead zone in the settings to counter act that

Really cool controller. Takes a little bit to get used to with all the pedals in the back but very useful once you get the hang of it. Cool features being able to interchange the buttons and super smooth movment of the joysticks. Great for gamers or if you're trying to take your gaming to the next level. A little pricey but worth it if you're an avid gamer.

Looks and feels great. Did not contain the hotkey bars I was expecting that came with the previous models. Still, I was able to take my old ones and use those. Other than that, it’s great!

Bought this as a gift for my husband (why). He loves it but that means I'll never see him again since he will now be a gaming master with this controller. He said this is the best controller option for xbox. It definitely expensive in my opinion but it provides more options and setting for the "everyday" gamer.

The price, the easiness to operate this controller, customize your buttons, the color. This is the cheap version beacuse it does not come with the paddles, nor.does it comw with the case ,however the quality of the controller is excellent.

Stick drift is a killer. On 3rd set of elite controllers and all have failed to stick drift and or bumper failing.

By no means have I found the controller to be of poor build quality. Everything feels great from the grips to the beautiful metal dpad and padles. The customization is nice, very easy to setup and disassemble/reassemble. Everything that is able to be detached is magnet. Pretty strong magnets. I love how you can turn down the brightnessof the Xbox logo to fairly dim. Trigger stops are the bomb. Paddles are hard to get used to imo

super comfortable controller but my only issue, which it very well could be only mine, is that the A button has a deadzone on the bottom of it so I have to press it a bit more cautiously. Other than that, it is fantastic.

Must have controller when playing games as longer battery life, easier rechargability, paddles, and stick tensioner

The controller is over all good the buttons need to be sealed more to keep dirt and dust out of them.
