Customer Ratings & Reviews

I originally really liked this controller. I expected that I wouldn’t need to buy another controller after getting such a high end one that could last through until the next generation but these things aren’t built to last. My first one’s bumper just stopped working and I replaced it with the Best Buy protection plan and no less than 4 months later this second controller has internal problems and won’t connect to anything. The protection plan does not promise to give you a working product in this way. My advice, if you get the protection plan, take the money instead and buy a new thing instead because it’s a rip off as is.

Had to return could not pair to iPad or iPhone paired to android

Rubber grips torn loose, trigger button sticks. Buy the warranty.

The controller is heavy and awkward to hold. I had to return it.

Just use the Normal controller. This thing breaks easy and doesn’t feel smooth

This said the box was opened, when i purchased the it. once we opened the boxed it was clearly used and dirty. should be inspected a bit better.

I wasn’t aware when I bought the controller that it doesn’t come with the underside paddle attachments, they have to be purchased separately. Will be returning to the store to get the full Elite 2 controller

Get it at your own risk. If you do get it get the protection plan. These are awesome controllers with amazing feel and functionality that are unfortunately plagued with 1000000 issues. BUYER BEWARE!

Only doin this to qin a chance at a 400 gify card .

I’m on my 10th or so Xbox elite series 2 controller. They are great until they are not, which is why I have had so many. They usually start getting stick drift around 6-10 months in with normal use (avg 3-5 hour gaming sessions about 3-4 times a week). I always get the Best Buy protection and just come swap for a new one after it starts drifting, and just buy a new plan for the replacement knowing it’s going to happen to that one too. Wish they would upgrade these to TMR sticks to eliminate the drifting issues and this would be hands down the best controller to game on.

Lasted about a year until bumper stopped working correctly it’s over a year and a half now and bumper is pretty much non useable! I need a new controller and might just stick with the standard one now!! They usually last a lot longer

A button sticks..second controller same problem. It’s annoying to pay this much for a controller that has issues out of the box.

I'm about to return my 2nd controller, faulty button presses not accurate,, I'm not the only one i guess,, https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxone/comments/drndrm/elite_controller_series_2_megathread/

I have went through three of these controllers, same problems with all three. Joystick wander, sometimes they even work loose and spin in a circle causing slippage. All other aspects are premium, and so is the cost. Not what you expect from a flagship controller.

The Elite series 1 is my favorite controller of all time. The series 2 is not....yet. MINOR Gripes: -only comes with 1 tall thumbstick. -all the sensitivity curves on my presets were changed when switching to the v2 -they changed the button mapping process & it is now clumsy MAJOR Gripes: -the paddles are too tiny -the dpad covers slide back & forth over the dpad resulting in a feeling of double clicks -all the directional buttons (dpad, thumbsticks, L,R) will randomly register as multiple presses when you simply press them once. I exchanged the controller & the replacement had the same issue. This issue made the controller useless because it would happen randomly. Maybe with future firmware upgrades or better quality control this controller could be good but I returned mine & am happily ising my elite v1.

It’s ok but for the price it shouldn’t have any problems for about a year, it’s only been a couple months and not the charging port needs to be replaced!!! Not what I want to do!

I really loved this controller at first but after a few months it’s been having connection issues and the RB is now registering a “double tap”. Controller is up to date but still randomly disconnects mid game.

I bought it and then it had stick drift right out the box. I returned it for another one and it also had stick drift

Terrible got sticky buttons two months into casual play !

Controller wont work with software to adjust pressure on left trigger. Everything else seems to work fine
