Customer Ratings & Reviews

I would have given it 5 stars, but the right trigger is a little noisy...

After 1 month of use this controller no longer functions properly. The thumbsticks stick and make ALL games unusable and neither Xbox or Best Buy will take it back. I could have purchased two controllers for the price of this and will do so next time. If you are going to buy this MAKE SURE that you get the coverage so it can be replaced, I guess the joke is on me for assuming a $150 controller would work longer than 1 month.

On my 2nd series 2 elite controller. Returned the 1st with geek squad replacement due to buttons going bad. LB already out on replacement. Will send to Microsoft for repair but then selling. Not messing with this expensive brick anymore.

Good but not as good as first gen elite control. Like the feel and trigger controls better on this one.

Was not delivered with all parts listed. Was listed in excellent condition but buttons weren't functional in addition to missing parts as stated.

Disappointing, Same analog response, Xbox and Microsoft need to step up their GAME.

I recently purchased the Microsoft Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller in red, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice! This controller is a game-changer for anyone serious about their gaming experience. Here’s why I’m giving it five stars: Design and Comfort The sleek red and black design is not only visually stunning but also feels premium in your hands. The ergonomic design and textured grips make it incredibly comfortable to use, even during marathon gaming sessions. The adjustable tension thumbsticks and custom profile options have taken my gameplay to the next level, allowing for precise and responsive control. Performance and Customization This controller excels in performance. The remappable buttons and adjustable trigger sensitivity offer a level of customization that is unparalleled. I love being able to tailor the controller to my exact preferences, which has significantly improved my gameplay across different genres. The 40-hour battery life is fantastic, and the built-in rechargeable battery means I no longer have to deal with disposable batteries. Versatility and Connectivity The compatibility with Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, and Windows PCs is a huge plus. I can seamlessly switch between my console and PC without any hassle. The wireless connectivity is rock solid, with no noticeable input lag, providing a smooth and immersive gaming experience. Overall Value While the price is on the higher side, the quality and features of the Elite Series 2 Core justify the investment. The durability and build quality are evident from the moment you hold it, and the positive impact on my gaming performance makes it worth every penny. In conclusion, the Microsoft Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller has exceeded all my expectations. It’s a top-tier controller that offers comfort, customization, and outstanding performance. If you’re serious about gaming, this controller is a must-have. Five stars all the way!

Left stick drift and RB not registering within a week. I only bought the controller because it was on sale. If you’re gaming on Xbox just buy a battlebeaver instead. It’s worth the wait. If you’re on PC the ps5 controller is the best.

Awful product. Bumpers would stop working after a couple weeks. Double clicking for the bumpers was biggest issue.

Didn't come out good the first time, joysticks had major drift. Had to return for another one. So far so good.

I like the series 1 better. too expensive for the left stick to malfunction within a couple months

Overall its not a bad controller love the paddle placement,but the quality has remained stagnant over the years. Get a scuff or a battle beaver tbh

Slow response controller never seen a slower controller then this not good for comparative good for offline games

I’m on my fifth or sixth model by now. It doesn’t hold up to playing competitively. The dead zones will rise, and bumpers will begin to fail resulting in double or non-existent presses.

I've had this OVER priced controller for 7 months and the left thumb stick has already broken. The buttons are not always responsive and stick. Do yourself a favor and don't buy this garbage!

It worked alright for almost a month, then broke down. The button on left is but functional.

Returned due to stick drift . everything else was nice.

The controller Falls apart and buttons stick too easily

The buttons gets broken within two to three months. Doesn’t worth the price. Use multiple all are similar. Bummer gets sticky and buttons respond intermittently.

I think its a quality controller. One of the buttons "sticks" when you press it. It happened right out of the box, so that was discouraging. Best Buy offers geek squad but they say I have to get it looked at but our city is landlocked and I can't travel to a local best buy. Pretty discouraging on both ends. Poor product and poor service.
