Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is literally the best line of controllers.. The weight, the feel, the functionality.. AMAZING!! I love the elite series on what they should deliver. 2 Star rating is because i have 3 Elite series 1 controllers that all have common issues. (Drift, bumper, peeling grip) I had read a lot of these things were addresses with the Series 2.. Nope.. Still a hot steamy pile of crap.. Purchased in October and this has the worst case of drift I've ever had.. The right bumper is super sensitive, one push and it thinks it's two. The grip hasnt peeled so i guess theres a pro.. Also have the Geek Squad Protection but they have been out of stock now for like 5 months so im stuck using this or one of my normal controllers..

Very responsive controller, long battery life. Worth the extra cost.

Like OMG this controller is bonks, it's a must must have. -Tiniffer

Really heavy, sturdy controller that has massive customization options... the charging case is pretty substantial and is a nice touch

First Elite controller, and the difference is noticeable. Power button clicks firmly, weight is heavier than normal controller, and triggers feel firmer. I feel the rear buttons are a bit of a gimmick (or I haven't gotten to set them up right) but for right now they get in the way. Definitely hoping it'll last more than my traditional controller, which usually fails because the right trigger ends up becoming sticky.

Controller works great, definitely a good upgrade from the standard series s controller. Gonna get the accessory pack soon so I can use the paddles.

Great controller with long battery life a must buy

Great controller I have 2 of them and would never go back

Must have for gamers. This core elite series 2 doesn't come with case or paddles but is a replacement for the elite series 2 controller. In my opinion I would buy the extended warranty so when thumbsticks or bumpers wear out you can easily replace.

I can now crank 90s. I wished these had better endurance but these controllers are awesome.

This controller is amazing in every way except 1. I would think that a $200 controller would last more than a year and a half before the sticks started drifting with no way to fix. I have original XBOX 360 controllers that I still use years and years later. Those cost $60 and still work perfectly, but this super expensive (and totally worth the price for how it works... when it works) controller needs to be replaced not even 2 years after purchase. I am a middle aged man who uses this probably a quarter of what a young kid would and it always gets stored in its cradle after use, and still.... have to replace it already. This is a problem I see hundreds of videos referencing too, so it is not isolated. I hope they fix it in future generations of controllers, because everything about it is truly Elite, except its life span.

I wanted a controller with more responsiveness and that is what I got. Compared to a standard non elite or modified controller, this is more reliable and responsive. The amount of times I depress LT or RT and have to wait for the game to recognize I am trying to perform an action was tiresome. Unless it was CoD and/or a game I could set trigger dead zones, timing dodges or specific actions would input early or late. With the triggers being adjustable from a full pull, to half or even a click, saves me a headache while performing dodges or counter attacks. The rounded face D Pad also amazing for games that have upper left, upper right, lower left, lower right options. Having to press and hold UP and Right, etc on a normal D Pad again tiresome. Amazing product and I wish I could give it 5 stars, however I want other color options that don't require me to buy an accessory kit that would cost more than an already bundled controller OR having to order custom through Microsoft. Pros: - Well made with solid weight to it - Default profile without back buttons - 3 Customizable profiles for back buttons - Add or remove back buttons with ease - Swappable sticks and D pad with strong magnets - 3 levels of adjustablility for trigger stops Cons: - Requires Xbox Accessories App on PC - Does not properly indicate battery life Wired or BT - Colored Core options do not come with full accessories at reduced price, even then you over pay to add the accessories with a Elite Core - Unless custom ordered through Microsoft all buttons follow black and grey color scheme

Controller feels premium! Great build cool case you can charge it in. Everything about my working one is awesome unfortunately the first one I purchased had mechanical sticking A and X buttons. Luckily Best Buy quickly replaced it for me as it was a factory defect! Was worth the investment if you are interested in a premium controller

The controller works very well and perfect for the hands. The control buttons are very responsive and seems to be in the perfect positions. .love the color as well

This controller is quite literally the peak of controller design. No stick drift, infinite customization (both physical and digital),and snappy response time. I have no issues with this product and it has only help me improve in competitive games such as Call of Duty, Fortnite, and Destiny 2.

Great controller. Because of the button mapping and paddles I was able to greatly improve response times in some games. Played numerous house and very very very minimal stick drift. The elite series controller are always my go to. Some say it’s a little heavy but to me I like the weight and doesn’t seem cheap.

Best controller ever bought in the history of controllers

This controller is perfect for anyone who already has an elite series 2 controller and is looking to replace their old one. You can use the old attachments on this new one and and it feels literally the same. So far no issue and price is fair compared to the normal elite series 2 controller.

Haven't let go of this controller since i bought it! Its a W for me

Great controller for the money. The only issue is the Joystick motors after constant use they get some stick drift but it is manageable and doesn't really affect you when gaming.
