Customer Ratings & Reviews

Excellent so far just make sure you buy the charger because it didn’t come with it. Actually it had a cord with a USB that plugs into the Xbox but that never worked so I had to buy a secondhand one on eBay. The charge lasts like one week playing every day so that’s good and it’s a very it feels very heavy duty like it’ll last. It’s expensive tho.

Have a black series 2 controller and the core and the back pedals are helpful. The stop triggers are a nice feature and the battery life lasts days on a single charge. These controllers are comfortable. The only thing about my black one is I had it for two months and it already has a slight stick drift with the right stick.

I went back and forth with the scuf instinct pro. Ended up with this since I like to be able to take off the paddles. The scuf paddles are great if you use them all the time, but for certain games I like the option. Also the software is really good, gives you options. The built in battery is overlooked but I find it extremely useful and never have to think about it. Really good value for money if you can grab it on sale.

This controller has the best build quality of any controller of all time. The weight feels excellent in the hand and the wrap around grips make the feel even better. The paddles have a new feel to them that the original elite controller did not have and it feels great. The whole controller immediately feels more precise and quality than the regular xbox controller. This is completely worth it if you have the money.

The elite 2 core is a good controller, but it has a different feeling than the Elite 2 in general. Mind you, I bought the Elite 2 in 2019, and it was completely rubberized, the buttons had a very premium feel to them and such. The core, doesn’t quite have that feeling. The buttons feel good, but not the same as my old controller. That could be because Microsoft lowered their quality for everything, or it’s the because the core is their “budget” version of the elite. Or it could be they just redesigned things in those past 6 years, who knows. Either way, it does the job very well, it just feels a bit different. Mind you, for $130, I expected it to be much better!

From a 3rd party controller to this it’s an absolute game changer. It’s slightly heavier than a standard 1st party Xbox controller but well worth it for what you get inside. The custom light mod on the Xbox accessories app is so cool to use I rock a red color and it really makes it pop with the black controller. Plus the sensitivity on the triggers is such a cool advantage in FPS games. I highly recommend this controller to any serious gamer especially if your on PC and to pair it I use an 8Bitdo adapter which is also available through Best Buy which is a much better connection than standard Bluetooth through your PC.

I bought the Elite because I was sick of bumpers/sticks etc. breaking on my standard Xbox controller. And for a while, these controllers performed well. They feel great, the weight is good, and the accessories/customization options are a plus. But the bumpers still don't last. Look, I'm not throwing my controller around, dropping it, or button mashing. But somehow, miraculously, Microsoft made the bumpers on the Elite controller just as poorly as the original controllers; they get mushy/break with regular, long-term use. Overall, it's a good controller. Just pay up and get the Best Buy warranty, because you'll probably need it.

The Microsoft Xbox Series Elite Controller feels premium and customizable, with swappable parts and extra features that make gaming smoother. It’s definitely pricier than a regular controller, but the build quality and performance make it worth it for serious gamers.”

You can feel the difference in quality on this controller compared to the standard Xbox ones. Even if you are not looking to use all of the features, you might have gone through two or three controllers already because they broke. Good investment to make if you are in that situation or if you do not want to keep on replacing part on your controller. The customization on the elite is endless. The four paddles feel great. The ability to tighten and swap out the joy sticks is also great.

Where to start with this beauty of a controller. I love how well it responds to the games I love to play, to the ease of use for the in game system customization. It feels really great in the hand even in the sweatiest of situations. The case it comes with is really nice and holds the accessories nicely.

This red Xbox controller is ! The color is bold, the feel is smooth, and it connects instantly. Super comfortable for long sessions and works perfectly on both Xbox and PC. Definitely worth it if you want something that stands out.

Super high quality product. Comes with all 4 paddles, and 4 extra joysticks depending on preference. Comes in a nice carrying case also. It’s got some weight on it and feels like a very sturdy product.

Controller feels great and the weight makes it feel premium. Bought the controller for the rear buttons and it works well. Xbox controller software lets you tune the controller to your liking. May be on the expensive side because a regular Xbox controller functions the same minus the back buttons and the tuning capability.

I love this controller! It’s heavier than a normal Xbox controller, which is nice. The rubberized grips are great for extended gameplay. It also has a great battery life so far. Overall, great controller. I would definitely recommend this to others.

The elite series 2 is the best controller on the market. Paddles are a game changer once you get used to them. Big improvement over the series 1 paddles. Hair triggers are amazing, battery life is crazy good.

The controller its self is very confortable, and easy to set up. Having the option to choose your trigger pull and analog/joystick setup/range is nice as well. My ONLY complain is the stick drift is absolutely terrible after using the control for a few months. I feel like im constantly having to go back and replace the controller cause of the stick drift on the either joysticks. Besides that the controller is very good.

By far the heaviest of the XBox controllers out there mainly due to a 40 hour rechargeable battery. The rubberized grips do make it a much more pleasant controller to use. Easier to hold on to. The variety of buttons and sticks is always nice and they are simple and easy to replace. Extra buttons with three button profiles to save to. With an indicator light to tell you which profile you are using. The charging hub is not large and can easily sit on top of the console. Con: Expensive!

Best controller I've used to date. Has some weight to it and feels grippy. The software allows you to remap buttons and change the color of the x button. Id definitely spend the extra money for the case dock and paddles.

Had this for over a year now and this is my honest opinion, probably one of the most durable controllers ive ever had, the only issues im experiencing now is the left LB button has trouble sometimes and some stick drift but what controller doesnt

I traded my old Elite Series 2 (RB, back paddles, and B button would get stuck occasionally) for a new Elite Series 2 controller they had at the Best Buy store, and oh boy was the new one better. Now, the buttons and everything function as intended. Onto the specs. The controller is heavy, but I do not mind the weight and it is comfortable. I like the four back paddles as I do not have to remove my thumbs away from the thumbsticks to press the buttons that are on the front of the controller. This is a game-changer for me because you will have a faster response time than other players who own a regular controller and do not own back paddles. Overall, this controller is worth the price if you want a competitive edge and desire everything that is included with this version of the controller. Just be aware that it might be a defective one.
