Customer Ratings & Reviews

These controllers are great when they work. On the other hand, they wear out and break pretty easily which is the downside. The Geek Squad protection is a must have when purchasing this product, unfortunately.

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.

So I got one of the open box deals and picked Excellent out of the good fair excellent nothing supposed to be missing pretty much new got it opened it up right away it’s missing the pedals no charging cord looked like someone got finished eating and using the controller crumbs in the case and oh the front left bumper was broke whoever excepted that return needs a talkin too

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.

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

Had to exchange because for whatever reason the back paddles weren’t included so that’s an L. I get like all the extra thumb sticks and stuff but no paddles?!? Really Microsoft

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.

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

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

Controller wasn’t working the correct way I went to exchange it they said I was one day too late but the controller is now just gonna waste on the dresser

I’ve had my controller for a little under two years and with the first year the right bumper stopped responding soon after the left. Good thing I can reconfigure the layout and use the paddles. NOPE! Those broke too! I take good care of my equipment and to have that many faults in that sort of a time is unacceptable! Don’t buy this without the warranty! You’re gonna need it.

Pay way extra money for an xbox controller only for it to get stick drift even quicker than the regular. I will just stick to the original controller and throw on a replacement plan and game happy as can be

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.

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

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!

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

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

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!

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.

I have barely had this controller, never dropped, I take perfect care of my items. Already the buttons don't work. Of course Best Buy is just sending me to Microsoft to get it taken care of. I will no longer purchase from Best Buy.
