Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options, along with its comfortable feel and good weight. However, a significant concern among users is the prevalence of stick drift and issues with button quality, particularly with the bumpers and A button. The price is also a point of hesitation for some.

    Not near as solid as the gen 1 elite controller, trigger stop adjustment is nicer in my opinion, but I feel like I have issues with button presses not recognizing or notice I’ll have to press buttons a lot harder than normal. Lighter wait than gen 1 elite, feels cheaper. Overall it’s not bad if you can find one marked down. For the price I recommend a SCUF controller. Not quite as “Elite” as the previous model. Gets the job done.

    The Microsoft Elite 2 controller is unquestionably the best controller available for all versions of X-Box, and at the recent sale price of $139.95 was a must buy item. Next day delivery was a very pleasant plus.

    Love the quality of it it feels great in my hand. But the stick drift is horrible and I’ve only had the controller for 3 months. Also one of the paddle on the back is starting to become unresponsive unless I press really hard. Kinda disappointed in this especially for the money spent. I don’t know what To buy next because I’m so used to the paddles but I guess I’ll figure it out.

    Quality control issues, buttons don’t always register.. primarily LB or RB on my controller. For the most part works well, but do yourself a favor and either buy a warranty; or wait until the next version is released. This gadget is too expensive to have to deal with delayed or non-responsive buttons, and joystick drift seems to be an issue with Minecraft; especially when used on PC.

    I had no idea what an improvement in design this controller achieved. It’s totally programmable button, paddles & triggers is a truly a feature I didn’t realize I wanted. I can’t recommend it enough. Five stars.

    This is a great controller. I really love the customization you have with it. Making the triggers shorter is money.

    Is it expensive? Yes Is it worth it? YES. It's heavy which makes it feel sturdy, the paddles on the back add extra inputs (which I love) and the trigger locks are a godsend for shooters.

    The Elite controller is very high quality. The first time you hold it in your hands, it is obviously much better than the entry level controller...... then you actually use it! Much more precise controls! A little price, but you will like it.

    Not a fan of the analog sticks, they have 3 adjustments but all feel a bit stiff for what I'd prefer. Otherwise its a phenomenal controller.

    Had to take the remote back the 1 st time due to a bad battery pack and wouldn’t hold a charge. But the second remote has been perfect. Color is cool compared to the all black elite controller. Would definitely recommend. is a bit heavy but no need to replace batteries. And the sticks can be replaced with shorter or taller sticks.

    Best quality controller you can buy. Even without the ability to assign buttons to the levers, the obvious high quality of the controller makes it a good choice, and if you can get it on sale, even better!

    me and my son were looking forward to this controller. love the battery built in was having fun using it then the right bumper went bad. i have sent it out for replacement. as i was looking at my Microsoft page i saw my 1 year warranty had the wrong expiration date [4/20/20]! how does a controller that came out in November expire in April? i called up they said would be fixed and next day it showed expiration of 2/4/20 called back to hear them say they will try to fix but they changed the warranty to 90 days for a 200.00 controller. 1] they cant changed a promised warrenty after you purchase it still trying to get threw to them to fix it
