Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love this controller. All the bells and whistles are nice, but what I like the most is the weight of it and that I don't have to replace batteries.

I game, a lot (Mainly FPS). I use this controller sometimes as much as 30 hours a week, and while that is a lot of wear and tear on a controller, I assumed that the high price tag as well as the name "Elite" meant that this controller would be up to the task. I was unfortunately wrong. While the controller feels great in the hands and the added control with the trigger stops, the software stick programming, and the paddles is an awesome addition Microsoft dropped the ball with this product. My number one gripe is that the controller is already experiencing the dreaded stick drift (it actually started about 4 months ago but i put up with it until now) also the RB and LB buttons refuse to work when pushed about 70% of the time which has lost me quite a few gun fights. Luckily for me i bought the replacement plan through best buy and I'm hoping that I just got a bad controller. I guess only time will tell -- I'll make sure to make an update if that controller is better/worse.

[Employee of bestbuy] Amazing controller, it may be overpriced but it's amazing for competitive gaming. I got lucky because I bought it as Open Box, but it works perfect. Tip: if you get one open box try it with the Xbox Accessory app and see if there is any issue with it, if there is return it ASAP, if not enjoy cause it's amazing!

Love elite controllers they are expensive especially since I keep having drift stick issues with them

Have a couple of PS5 Dual Sence controllers but no matter what you do on PC, they are rarely compatible with most games. So, i had my eye on this for a while. Finally took the plunge and so glad I did! Perfectly compatible on PC. Comes with everything you need including a charger.

Very awesome controller, features the paddles adjustable toggles excellent battery life

No controller has ever felt better in my hands. A little heavier than the standard xbox controllers. Paddles and trigger locks are legitimate ways to get an edge in online/competitive gaming. Personally, I only use 2 paddles as all 4 feels a bit strange with my hands size. There's also many ways to adjust the response curves of the joysticks offering advanced ways to tailor control. I recommend the warrany for peace of mind knowing that this product has some history of defects, not to mention controllers themselves get beat up over time, thats the way it is!

After having this controller for a year now, I've decided to write a review. The customization of this controller is awesome. I love the way I have been able to tailor it to my play style. The only issue I've been having for the past few months is that my LB and RB buttons are starting to stick. I've always taken care of my controller, and store it in it's case whenever not in use. Disappointed in the longevity for the price I paid.

Not bad works like any other controller and is very comfortable. But i am experiencing some analog drag on the left stick. I dont know if it is a product issue but hopefully the company knows this issue with their products and will fix it.

It's the best feeling controller to use with paddles and after trying other controllers, it's definitely the best all around.

I love my elite series 2 controller. had the series 1 for over 2 years, my series 2 for another yr and a half til it broke and now onto this one.

Love these controllers, I have 4 of them because I like the weight and feel; use one each for ROG Ally X, Gaming PC and XBox Series X with a spare in case one dies and I don’t want to game tethered or wait for recharge.

Amazing product I’ve been using this Xbox controller since 2020 and I’ll never use another controller

Great controller especially if you use additional paddles. However the controller does not seem to last more than a year without starting to develop stick drift and bumper issues. I've been through three controllers in less than 3 years with moderate to heavy use. If you buy a BestBuy geek squad extended warranty, just be aware that if you have to use it, you will have to buy another new policy for the replacement controller. The 2 year policy ends as soon as you use it.

Always satisfied with the Microsoft Elite Series 2 controllers. I have owned multiples of this item over the years and am still amazed with the quality of product that I have received. Great buy if you are looking to up your gaming controls!

Very heavy and includes many many customizable options. Quality is very good and hasn’t deteriorated with months of use

Had the controller for 6 months, worked great, then R1 stopped being responsive. Now it takes a huge amount of force for it to register. Overall, the gamepad is ok, but besides the materials i think a regular series controller is better than this.

Absolutely love this controller. By far and away the best quality and feel of any controller I've ever held. Its a HUGE upgrade over the series 1 elite controller

Best controller for xbox. A little pricey but way better than the stock controller.

Very customizeable, handles well, good quality, sturdy, and good for having diff profiles for certain games
