Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Xbox Elite Series 2 is a high quality controller with lots of customization for settings weather your on Xbox or PC. I’ve used other pro controllers but I like the feel and durability more with the Xbox Elite Series 2!

Controller feels great and has stellar customization. Unfortunately stick drift started after only one week

Love the controller, feels great in hand, that paddles are a bit hard to use at first but than you get the hang of it and makes you play like pro

Great controller, easy to use and stays charged for a long time.

It works well and the battery is rechargeable which is a big plus.

Microsoft makes a good produce with this as the additional buttons on the back (the paddles) allows you more range of activities within games. the weight and the feel of this is very good. the only reason why I don't give this 5 stars is because as with the Elite Series 1, the Elite Series 2 ends up malfunctioning after heavy usage. I do not slam or throw my controller so I know it isn't from mishandling. with my current Elite Series 2, I've been using the Left and Right Bumpers a lot (with NFS Unbound) and the Right Bumper is not less responsive than it initially was. If Microsoft starts using more durable materials then it will be an easy 5 star rating.

The elite controllers are so great because of the extra weight and the overall feel. Plus the color pops. Worth it if you don’t need the paddles or extra sticks!

I’m a light ‘gamer’ with an obsession for new hardware. Compared to the in-box controller, the XE2 is a no-brainer. Compared to the XE1, things get a little closer. Aesthetically, the E2 looks better imo. Maybe it’s just because it’s different than the first gen... who knows. The feel... Feeling the controller in hand is everything I expected, and wanted. The internal battery makes the back less-crammed. The triggers feel bitter-smooth. The analog sticks, d-pads, paddles, etc are all great. The paddles are smaller and this leads to a better feel and less accidental hits... EXCEPT when switching the trigger ‘pull’ switch from its lowest (closest to paddles) setting. I’ll get used to it. The analog stick tension customization is cool, though I wish a tool wasn’t needed, but I get it. Kind of. The profile switcher is to my liking, as is the USB-C input so I’m not constantly flipping it back and forth to get it to fit the port (first world problems). The included dock is a nice touch and has magnets for proper seating. I love magnets... The case is nice and the port is cool, I guess. If you aren’t going to customize the controller via the Xbox accessories app (or whatever they call it), then this controller isn’t for you. Hope this helps someone out there!

This is the best gaming controller I have ever seen. Almost entirely metal control components, feels solid in the hand. This controller makes the PS5 dual sense controller look cheap (and DEFINITELY makes the regular Xbox controller feel cheap). The adjustments and precision this controller allows for makes it worth the price.

Love the Elite 2 controllers. Back peddles add an entirely new element of gameplay that I am unable to live without. There are 2 common defects however that lead to having to exchange on several occasions. Those defects are stick drift or bumper malfunction. After a year, one of these issues are sure to arise. I would advise on getting the extended warranty. This issues are very common in All controllers, but this product is quite a lot for a yearly investment.

The feeling in my hands that this controller gives me I feel like what it would be like to pull out Excalibur, so she is named just that. Customization is 'preme, as is the feel, function and pretty much everything about this thing. Was reluctant with all the bad reviews it gets nut I don't regret a thing.

Love the integrated rechargeable battery. New features like 3 programmable mapping on the controller and new stick tension adjustments. Much improved from previous Elite.

Waited for the 2nd version and I'm glad. This is a great controller and certainly worth the $ compared to the regular controllers. The adjustability sets it apart but the durability is all I care about. Feels good in your hand. If you've been on the bubble about getting it don't hesitate.

Works well, no issues so far. Feels good in the hand.

Straight out of the box controller had massive stick drift. Both thumb sticks have serious drift and has been an issue the entire time I have owned. Did not have this issue with previous gen. Had high hopes but unfortunately this controller is not a home run, single at best.

Excellent choice for any kind of gamer. Very responsive. Ergonomically made to reduce stress on your hands and fingers

Very good product, grips make for a very comfort hand feel, feels solid. However the Magnetic Dpad is not great if you're looking to play fighting games with it, as it has a chance of popping off from intense use. Most buttons feel very good, press smooth, and very nice clicks. However out of the box I noticed that my x button had some stick which seemed to go away after some use. I'd recommend getting the warranty incase of any defects.

Awesome controller. Feels heavy (in a good way) and good quality. Only shame is it doesnt come with the extra buttons at the back but they can be bought separately. Companion apps allow for nice customization.

Controller feels great, paddles take time to get used to, only complaint is both lb and rb stopped workikg besides every few clicks after about a year.

It’s been over a year and I started experiencing problems it was perfect up until now didn’t have complaints up until now I thought it would last longer but it was good while it lasted it still works just annoying things like scrolling crazy fast for no reason and moving my aiming slightly.
