Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’m on my fifth or sixth model by now. It doesn’t hold up to playing competitively. The dead zones will rise, and bumpers will begin to fail resulting in double or non-existent presses.

It worked alright for almost a month, then broke down. The button on left is but functional.

I recently purchased the Microsoft Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller in red, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice! This controller is a game-changer for anyone serious about their gaming experience. Here’s why I’m giving it five stars: Design and Comfort The sleek red and black design is not only visually stunning but also feels premium in your hands. The ergonomic design and textured grips make it incredibly comfortable to use, even during marathon gaming sessions. The adjustable tension thumbsticks and custom profile options have taken my gameplay to the next level, allowing for precise and responsive control. Performance and Customization This controller excels in performance. The remappable buttons and adjustable trigger sensitivity offer a level of customization that is unparalleled. I love being able to tailor the controller to my exact preferences, which has significantly improved my gameplay across different genres. The 40-hour battery life is fantastic, and the built-in rechargeable battery means I no longer have to deal with disposable batteries. Versatility and Connectivity The compatibility with Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, and Windows PCs is a huge plus. I can seamlessly switch between my console and PC without any hassle. The wireless connectivity is rock solid, with no noticeable input lag, providing a smooth and immersive gaming experience. Overall Value While the price is on the higher side, the quality and features of the Elite Series 2 Core justify the investment. The durability and build quality are evident from the moment you hold it, and the positive impact on my gaming performance makes it worth every penny. In conclusion, the Microsoft Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller has exceeded all my expectations. It’s a top-tier controller that offers comfort, customization, and outstanding performance. If you’re serious about gaming, this controller is a must-have. Five stars all the way!

Awful product. Bumpers would stop working after a couple weeks. Double clicking for the bumpers was biggest issue.

Overall its not a bad controller love the paddle placement,but the quality has remained stagnant over the years. Get a scuff or a battle beaver tbh

I've had this OVER priced controller for 7 months and the left thumb stick has already broken. The buttons are not always responsive and stick. Do yourself a favor and don't buy this garbage!

I think its a quality controller. One of the buttons "sticks" when you press it. It happened right out of the box, so that was discouraging. Best Buy offers geek squad but they say I have to get it looked at but our city is landlocked and I can't travel to a local best buy. Pretty discouraging on both ends. Poor product and poor service.

Slow response controller never seen a slower controller then this not good for comparative good for offline games

I have barely had this controller, never dropped, I take perfect care of my items. Already the buttons don't work. Of course Best Buy is just sending me to Microsoft to get it taken care of. I will no longer purchase from Best Buy.

Disappointing, Same analog response, Xbox and Microsoft need to step up their GAME.

The only color that comes with the paddles and case is the black controller. If you prefer another color it’s going to cost you significantly more.

I wanted to inform you that this remote ending up getting remote drift.

It’s sure a great product but grossly over priced!

The buttons gets broken within two to three months. Doesn’t worth the price. Use multiple all are similar. Bummer gets sticky and buttons respond intermittently.

Brand new controller and has stick drift don’t buy.

Works ok for a while - then the bumpers start to double click

Controller feels amazing from the first time you hold it to the thousandth time. The paddles take time to get used to but can give a real competitive advantage over others in games. Overall this thing is well designed, plays well, and the whole experience feels like a step above the rest.

Ok ...............................................

It was good, but not even a year and the left thumb stick started drifting.

I bought this controller back in November started having problems with it in January. My left thumbstick wasn't working correctly when pressing up and it was turning off randomly. I tried taking it back to Best buy but they haven't had any in for months. so they're in-store customer service said I was still within the 90-day warranty to send it back to Microsoft(I have the 2 year geek squad warranty). I had no other choice so I did so received what I'm guessing is a refurbished control from Microsoft. I have had that controller for about a week and them having worse problems with the left thumbstick then the first controller after 1 week. Best buy still doesn't have any in stock so I will be forced to send it back to Microsoft again. And I guess get another refurbished control
