Customer Ratings & Reviews

I'm on my 4th Elite controller. The bumpers (LB/RB) always go bad so I would strongly recommend getting the protection plan. It amazes me how much we pay for these for Microsoft to cut corners. I won't bash it completely, there are some positives. The grips are improved over the series 1 controller. The additional settings are great. I love the customizable tension in the sticks. Overall they are really nice. They're one of those tools that if it breaks or you lose it you have to replace it right away. It's just unfortunate that everyone I've ever had one of the bumpers goes on it, and it's never the same one.

Love this controller, never an issue connecting to my PC. Makes gaming so much simpler

awesome controller, it's nice to be able to just buy the controller and not the case. my husband finally broke his previous controller so he has all the attachments and case for that one.

Decided to get this controller after getting my brother one for Christmas. Sturdy, well built controller with tons of features. Absolutely love the adjustable triggers for shooting games and the adjustable tension in the analog sticks!

I used an Elite Series 1 controller for 6+ years before finally deciding to replace it just after Christmas last year. The Series 2 feels improved in ergonomics and refinement, and all functions feel more crisp in comparison to the Series 1. I've been using the Series 2 for almost nine months now, and it's showing no signs of cosmetic wear. The only minor issue I've noticed is that I have a little bit of play in the left joystick, maybe 2-3% of the overall travel. Typically this is not an issue due to there being a deadzone in most controls, however, I'm not able to get extremely precise with it. Overall, very happy with the purchase and will likely buy a Series 3 after a few more years of using this one.

AMAZING! Had to have it. Works great, feels great.

Love this controller glad i dont have to use batteries anymore!!

Love this controller. Im very late to the game, ive always used the controller that comes with the console. After this one i will never do that again! Love. This. Controller.

Good improvement with the battery and Bluetooth. As far as “physical” upgrades go, if your gen 1 Elite controller is still performing well, then keep using it. This is for those who need to replace their gen 1 or for those who are looking into getting an Elite controller for the first time.

First off, I love this controller. This and the Series 1 are phenomenal. Problem is I've had to return it twice and the Series 1 (6 times). First Series 2 purchased in October, problems started in January. I dealt with it until March. Returned for refund because they were backordered. Got a replacement on June 5, 2020, same problem started on June 11. Returned. Didn't buy another one. The problems I encountered are as follows. Stick Drift. After using controller, I set it down and approximately 10 seconds later, the cursor would move on it's own. This was also a problem on the Elite Series one which I had to return about 6 times over 3 years. That's ridiculous. And to think the Series 2, costing $30 more than the Series 1, has the exact same issue. A second issue I had was sticky ABXY buttons. One press might register multiple presses. This started out of the box and I was hoping for a firmware upgrade to fix the issues. If Microsoft gets their manufacturing issues sorted out, I'd purchase again. If not, I will not be buying another one. And I do not recommend It.

Good controller though problems with drift occur and I've had to replace. I like the controller, though a bit heavy, and Best Buy honors their warranty.

Amazing controller to have, very customizable and great feel

So much smoother than the standard controller, definitely recommend

Best one you can get for the Xbox series controllers

This controller is awesome. The price is high, but the materials and build of it make it feel very expensive and worth every penny. It's a little heavier, the buttons feel way better, and it's easy to set up. Worth every penny.

The Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller is worth every penny. It feels great in my hands, and the customizable buttons and triggers give me the competitive edge I need. It’s a must-have for serious gamers.

Not as impressed as i thought i would be. Dont get me wrong, its still a great controller but for 3x the cost of a regular controller, I was expecting something more. Would only recommend if you want to utilize the buttons on the backside.

Feels great and built in battery. Must have is you play online gaming

Got this open box, no problems with it at all. Saved $40.
