Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is the only controller we use. We are a gaming family and have 3 of these controllers. We love them and having Best Buy total tech is convenient to getting them fixed if need be.

Paddles slap, premium feel in the hand, customization. What else you need

Owned two now i love the premium feel but at the same time its made cheap my first one got stick drift (when will these multi billion dollar companies start using hall effect) within 3 months and my right bumper stopped working and had cracks all over i think from gripping it to hard as for the one i got from bestbuy its still holding up 7 months later maybe i got unlucky with my first even if they are made cheaply they still have nice features the battery life is very good and the paddles are aswell (i bought some off amazon for cheap) you can re map buttons etc i personally can not go back to a basic controller they feel extra cheap in comparison i recommend the elite core but only on a sale with a warranty

One of the best controllers you could pay for. The weight really makes a difference. Really feels great in the hands.

Beautiful controller, miles better than the ps5 dualshock in my opinion. Premium feel, testured grips, does not slip out the hand when playing for hours, metal buttons, mag lock sticks and great weight.

Good weight and smooth controls! Plus the ease of customization

Love the heavy feel to this controller. This controllers ability to swap button mappings is great.

The controller feels sturdy, it is responsive, and I like being able to change pieces out to suit my gameplay needs. The battery lasts forever, and the controller has some weight to it.

I bought another one because I do really like them, but the first one I had started to have that right stick drift after a little less than 2 years, which at least on Ark Survival Evolved made the game unplayable with it making my player look straight at the ground constantly even if just standing still. There are plenty of videos online about this issue, (the spraying air and using alcohol "solutions" on some videos did not work) and I can say that from my experience it is real problem and should be unacceptable for the lofty price; MS should at least have a longer warranty for this particular issue.

Stick drift is a killer. On 3rd set of elite controllers and all have failed to stick drift and or bumper failing.

Love it and hate it. Physically it's incredible looking and feeling -- just what you would want out of a $200 controller. Would give 5 stars, except that out of the box my A button was less responsive than X Y B, and my right trigger developed a crunching / squeaking noise... which is not cool for a $200 controller. Bestbuy product page states you are buying a Model:FST-00008 version of the controller, and yet I received a Model:FST-00001. So... not sure why that was either, and thus I have to give 3 stars. If you can get one without any issues, or you don't care about the issues I mentioned, then don't hesitate on buying one. Product received via shipping on January 30th, 2021.

Helps my son waste even more time and stay closed up in his room yelling at people even longer. It does seem to be well made. It feels a little heavier and much higher quality than his other controllers.

The customizabilityand being able to toggle thimbstick settings as well really changes how some games play for me compared to other controllers in a good way and i highly recommended buying. The battery life is amazing

This is the third controller that I bought for my Xbox. It was expensive compared to the other two, but it is actually the best thus far. Very comfortable and the battery life is much better, lasting almost 16 hours. The fact that you can charge it while inside the case is a plus. I highly recommend this controller.

This is my very first controller. I can say nothing about other controllers. (Cuz I'm PC Gamer) But I'm really sure this Elite controller 2 feels so good in the hands and the battery life is Awesome. I played 8-13 hours every day for 4 days without charging. (for testing battery). I recommend Elite Controller Series 2 for PC (if you want more challenge) and of course for Xbox

This controller is excellent. I have the gears of war elite controller but this one just feels better. The weight is perfect and with all the options you have what a fantastic product. Hats off to Microsoft for making a great product even better

Awesome controller, you can literally customize everthing on it.

Good weight, upgradable, comfortable, great buy (if you can get it <$100)

Love it and the fact i dont have to buy batteries anymore

Solid investment. I bought it to see if my gameplay could improve with a better controller. It definitely helped most of the FPS games I play. It has a ton of customization options on the controller itself and in the app to change button mapping, etc. Worth it in my opinion. Battery lasts forever.
