Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great.controller , big step from regular. Ez to mod, better feel, robust.

I like these controllers alot because the battery last forever and the build quality is strong, but the best part is the customizable functions that makes Elite. Having this control much control can give you an advantage during certain games.

Elite 2 at it's finest no matter what. I know there other pro controllers out in the market and they offer similar or customization than the elite 2 but I always default to the elite 2 because it feels perfect to control in my hands. What I wanted from a standard Xbox series controller the elite 2 is the perfect and only upgrade I need. I do wish though Microsoft/Xbox would retool/ refine their product durability testing because even though I love my elite 2 I've gotten through 2 pairs already and both stopped working because of stick drift and the bumper pads began to suddenly peel off and that's coming from someone who doesn't sweat a lot when gaming. Hopefully elite series 3 will be third time's a charm ( for real)

Wonderful product. The white is not my fortay but the quality of it feels great. Being able to adjust the tension of the sticks makes it easy for FPS Games. Definitely going to buy another, but in a different color!

Great feel. Lighter than the original elite and more durable. Cheaper but you don’t get the paddles.

Pros - Great fit and feel. Easy to use. Long lasting charge. Easy to setup. Cons - still not as hardy as it should be - stick drift happens within a year. Buttons break / wear out within a year.

Durable and easy to use. Fits in your hands very comfortably. I like the paddles in the back. They make for a better gaming experience

The price is steep but 100% worth what your paying for! Got 4 elite controllers for my spouse, kids and me and all them still work like new with no issues with the oldest controller being about 2 years old now. $100 for the core version is well worth it since it seems like the basic controllers would become victim to stick drift within 6/7 _-_- months in!

Best controller for ur buck good grip good playing experience

This is the second elite series 2 controller I buy and is faulty weeks after purchase. The first one started having a uncontrollable stick drift, this one is having its buttons stuck and also the triggers don’t detect pressure so it’s not any good for racing games, if it wasn’t for those issues it would get 5 stars for the ergonomics and customization.

This is the only controller I i will use, weight, comfortability, and customization options are amazing.

I recently bought the Xbox Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller from Best Buy, and it's fantastic for PC gaming. The rubberized grips are incredibly comfortable, making long sessions a breeze. With excellent customization options and responsive controls, this controller is a great investment for serious gamers. Highly recommend!

Way better than the standard Xbox controller. I like that you can set the back paddles to anything you like. No more having to buy batteries since it’s rechargeable. The biggest problem is the joysticks, the drift is very real and for a controller with a high price they should be better.

Even though I return this item is an excellent controller it’s really comfortable to hold you get better aim in first person shooter games and the batteries built-in value for what you get high it’s really expensive that’s why I returned it

I love how smooth and clean the controller feels amazing quality and works as expected! Will purchase again and will recommended.

As someone who's bought the Elite controller open box, it wasn't a surprise to find out someone else returned it. This is actually my second one, first was brand new, and unfortunately, I've encountered similar issues with both. After some use, the buttons tend to stick and, frustratingly, they rarely register inputs on both my Xbox and PC. It's disappointing given the premium price tag and the high expectations I had for this controller. While it does offer some nice customization options and a comfortable grip, the reliability just isn't there for me. If you're considering purchasing one, I'd recommend thoroughly testing it out or opting for a different controller altogether to avoid potential headaches down the line. I recommend if you get the insurance as well, at least there’s value in that.

This is a great idea from Microsoft. Controllers usually last about a year with heavy use, the Xbox elite seem to last longer than that. If yours wears out you can simply buy this swap you thumb sticks and back paddles and save a ton of money doing so. These are great controllers and provide the best bang for your buck, aftermarket scuff parts are also very easy to find. I use this on PC and love it. The only negative is that they do have a bit of stick drift right out of the box, my dead zone had to be set at .08 vs .03 for a brand new scuff, i'm not good enough for that to outweigh $ the savings.

GET THE PROTECTION PLAN - DO NOT ARGUE This controller is awesome. Takes time getting used to the paddles, but once you do its a game changer. I just recently returned my old one, using the protection plan, and got a brand new one no questions asked. I have had the Elite and now Elite 2s and have used the protection plan for each. Idk how long people would expect these to last, but I can promise you they won't still work perfectly 2+ years and beyond. The ones I returned started having stick draft and the paddles were spotty after about 8-12 months. Not too severe but enough to make you think maybe it's why you died in warzone that one time. It's at That Exact Point, where you will be happy to have the protection plan / a new controller.

Not only does this contrillee feel freat to use, its very solid and weighted but the ability to customize your experience with included accessories is *chef’s kiss*

Really amazing controller and love the option that I can switch to make it easier for me.
