Customer Ratings & Reviews

[Employee of bestbuy] The colorway looks better in person, but the feel of the controller is great! Main thing is you have to order the accessories separately. But if you just want a good feeling controller without the extra bells and whistles, it's great!

this controller is excellent for PC gamers. Amazing build quality and minimal customization on triggers and thumbsticks make it an amazing controller for all types of games! I would definitely buy another one but i’m sure I wont need to!

great controller! lots of improvements over the previous model. comfortable and feels great

I had the Series 1 and it was definitely showing wear and tear so I decided to upgrade to the Series 2. I've only had this controller a month and there's already joystick drift that will cause the camera to pan in games. If I don't press the A button at just the right angle or have firm pressure, it don't register meaning when I tell my character to jump in game, nothing actually happens. This controller is about $150 too expensive to be having issues this early into ownership. $30 dollar controllers have lasted longer than the Elite 2 before seeing these types of issues. Of course I'm out of return policy at BB so I'd have to go through Microsoft for the exchange which is such a hassle. The good things include the feel of the controller and the battery but I cannot recommend this controller because it's having what I would consider significant issues for how expensive this product is.

I recently upgraded to the Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller, and I have to say, it’s an absolute game-changer! The build quality is exceptional, and you can instantly feel the difference compared to a standard controller. The customizable paddles and thumbsticks are a huge plus, allowing me to tailor the controller to my playstyle. The interchangeable D-pads and adjustable tension on the thumbsticks provide a level of precision I didn’t even realize I was missing.

Most comfortable and customizable controller I have ever used. I bought this on sale for $130, and don’t feel that I overspent for what it is. I probably would not purchase at full price, as there are better options in that price point. I’m using on a PC, and it takes a bit of customization to get it right. But there is absolutely no lag when paired via Bluetooth.

Overall this controller has been amazing. It has super high quality parts and is a step above the standard controller. I did have an issue with mine within 6 months but was able to send it into Microsoft for the warrently and gets replacement device easily. Overall very happy with my controller and will be buying another if I ever need to get a new controller.

Amazing Controller. Best Buy helped me through purchasing and even getting the protection plan!

Great controller best controller on the market bit pricey but worth it if like to play FPS

I absolutely love the elite series 2 controller. The only thing I can say is, GET THE WARRANTY!!! I highly recommend it, these things do break. We use them alot and even though they should last longer, they do not. The bumpers start going on them, joy sticks drift alot, mine drifts out of the box lol. Just get the warranty and u will love your controller, if you don't you will be out 180 bucks sooner than you would like.

Nice build and weight. Fits in my (admittedly large) hands. Good replacement if your old elite controller starts having drift and you can't wait for Microsoft to send in a refurbished replacement. If using on PC, make sure to update the controller before using it.

Perfrct for any gaming purposes and you have customize it to your liking as well by swapping/ mapping out your control stick choices and the extra four buttons on the back of the controller as well, and ofc the controller pack i got does come with the controller sticks and buttons accessories so dont worry.

Lower quality than the standard controller. Known issue with the RB/LB buttons and the joystick will drift. The buttons will slowly require more and more force to push until they become completely unresponsive. The joystick has a tendency to move the opposite direction when it rebounds if you let it go. For example, pushing far to the left and let it go, it will bounce to the right. There is an active lawsuit against Microsoft. In response, Microsoft has extended the warranty from 90 days to 1 year. This was also an issue on the previous generation of this controller. The extra warranty does me no good 13 months after I bought this. The nice part is the rechargeable battery. The customization of the joysticks and such is ok but not a major feature to me. The ability to have multiple profile settings is very useful.

Great controller my son loves it big difference in his gameplay

Love the extra grip and buttons. Although after a couple months using the remote, either the left joystick or right bumper would begin malfunctioning. Best to put a warranty on it just in case this happens.

Makes gaming so much fun with the extra buttons very easy to use and customize

Works good no issues at this time no other problems right now

I’ve had these controllers a lot over the years. I love the textured thumb sticks and textured grips around the controller. One of the best controller on the market for Microsoft. Highly recommend this controller

Very well built controller! Love the different mappable buttons as well as being able to change the color or the Xbox button

Love the controller! Extremely customizable and feels absolutely perfect
