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.

    Great controller for the money

    Best controller sub $200. While Scuf controllers (among other brands) may have slightly better build quality, the price-to-quality is arguably better in the Elite 2 Controller. All the accessories are very well-built and the paddles are great.

    Probably one of the best controllers out there, and to be honest it’s good. I give it 4 stars for the feel, look, and all the attachments and functions it’s has. The only con is the drift after so many uses. But I’d still recommend this to anyone who uses controller

    Ive seriously have gone through 10 of these since they came out. I wont usr any other controller. They are definitely worth the money. 100's of hours of gaming. I even bought one just for the xbox and one for the computer

    Love these remotes just wish Microsoft would’ve fixed the stick drift issues these tend to get. Doesn’t help that I’ve seen break downs of the remote showing the same joystick design in both this premium remote and their basic remotes.

    By far the best Xbox Controller I've ever had. I fortunately got it on sale at a great price. The controller itself is the perfect shade of red really put together quite nicely. The packaging itself was very neat and clean. Though most importantly the functionality of said controller is more than ideal for any game. The layout of the controller with extra buttons and quicker response time is ideal for any game. Overall i highly recommend everyone to upgrade to this controller.

    These seem to hold up better and are lighter! The built in battery lasts forever! And I love the magnetic charging dock!

    Worth the buy for sure. A little pricey but if you want a controller that will last with interchangeable parts this is the route to go.

    Seriously love it. Thought it wouldn’t be that much better but the red really pops in this bad boy. I think it feels better than my all black series 2 I got when they came out.

    Controller has been fantastic, I have been using it for almost a year up until recently when I started getting stick drift and even with the customization of the controller I am not able to fix it. I recommend getting the protection plan as the manufacturer's warranty won't replace it.

    If you buy this, you might as well buy two, or absolutely have a warranty. Sturdy and definitely improves ability, but it's a roulette whether the controller will gave stick drift out of the box or not. If you want to shell out more money, get a SCUF

    BEST CONTROLLER AVAILABLE! The lack of hall-effect joysticks is disappointing, but Gulikit holds the patent on using them in controllers. Near infinite customization, better bluetooth connection with Windows PCs, and good battery life. It got me to use my PC more, instead of relying on my Steam Deck or ROG Ally.
