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.

    Is it expensive? Yes Is it worth it? YES. It's heavy which makes it feel sturdy, the paddles on the back add extra inputs (which I love) and the trigger locks are a godsend for shooters.

    Great controller that's close to the Black elite version but without the extra buttons and case.

    This is my back up. I am currently on my 2nd elte 2 and got this just in case. Still the best controller you can get for console or PC.

    My son is huge into video games. I almost fell over when he told me how much it was but he also explained why it was so expensive. I was sold. I was tired of purchasing controllers. Since I bought this a year ago I haven't had to replace it.

    If you can afford it and it's the first time you hold and use this controller you'll be very impressed. It is the most comfortable controller I own including the PS5 and Switch Pro (which are great on their own).

    This newest version of the Elite is great! It's much better than my other Elite. I've had zero connection/audio issues so far. I love the shorter trigger lock adjustment. The paddles are shorter too so I won't have to take a grinder to them like the first version.

    This controller is fantastic, you take advantage of trigger stops, paddles and can deviate your opponent’s in any game due to those features quick reloading with out taking your finger off the trigger

    Quality control issues, buttons don’t always register.. primarily LB or RB on my controller. For the most part works well, but do yourself a favor and either buy a warranty; or wait until the next version is released. This gadget is too expensive to have to deal with delayed or non-responsive buttons, and joystick drift seems to be an issue with Minecraft; especially when used on PC.

    Not near as solid as the gen 1 elite controller, trigger stop adjustment is nicer in my opinion, but I feel like I have issues with button presses not recognizing or notice I’ll have to press buttons a lot harder than normal. Lighter wait than gen 1 elite, feels cheaper. Overall it’s not bad if you can find one marked down. For the price I recommend a SCUF controller. Not quite as “Elite” as the previous model. Gets the job done.

    The Microsoft Elite 2 controller is unquestionably the best controller available for all versions of X-Box, and at the recent sale price of $139.95 was a must buy item. Next day delivery was a very pleasant plus.

    Had to take the remote back the 1 st time due to a bad battery pack and wouldn’t hold a charge. But the second remote has been perfect. Color is cool compared to the all black elite controller. Would definitely recommend. is a bit heavy but no need to replace batteries. And the sticks can be replaced with shorter or taller sticks.

    Love the quality of it it feels great in my hand. But the stick drift is horrible and I’ve only had the controller for 3 months. Also one of the paddle on the back is starting to become unresponsive unless I press really hard. Kinda disappointed in this especially for the money spent. I don’t know what To buy next because I’m so used to the paddles but I guess I’ll figure it out.

    I had no idea what an improvement in design this controller achieved. It’s totally programmable button, paddles & triggers is a truly a feature I didn’t realize I wanted. I can’t recommend it enough. Five stars.
