Customer Ratings & Reviews

Controller feels great and has stellar customization. Unfortunately stick drift started after only one week

It has a great feel in your hand. It feels very solid. The rubber texturing feels comfortable. The joysticks are sensitive and accurate with no drift. The buttons are solid and sensitive. This is an excellent controller if you want a better quality that the standard controller.

The Xbox Elite Series 2 is a high quality controller with lots of customization for settings weather your on Xbox or PC. I’ve used other pro controllers but I like the feel and durability more with the Xbox Elite Series 2!

I was tired of buying a new controller every 3 months so I decided to upgrade to one made with durable components. I’ve owned two of these controllers. I returned the first one due to stick drift. There was no problem with the return and my new controller is working great. I highly recommend upgrading to the elite controller 2.

works fine i use it on pc works better plugged in fyi

The elite controllers are so great because of the extra weight and the overall feel. Plus the color pops. Worth it if you don’t need the paddles or extra sticks!

Straight out of the box controller had massive stick drift. Both thumb sticks have serious drift and has been an issue the entire time I have owned. Did not have this issue with previous gen. Had high hopes but unfortunately this controller is not a home run, single at best.

I personally like the added weight when playing along with the no slip grips makes for a enjoyable playing experience. The 3 trigger settings along with fine tuning the analog sticks comes in very handy. Upgraded from the Elite First addition. If you had the first one you will love this one even more.

They're the best my son says he is still using it today which is odd for him to make it a last over a year tells m

Great controller. The added weight, adjustable tension on the joysticks, and overall feel surpass the standard controller. Highly recommended to gamers who want a more substantial controller.

Microsoft makes a good produce with this as the additional buttons on the back (the paddles) allows you more range of activities within games. the weight and the feel of this is very good. the only reason why I don't give this 5 stars is because as with the Elite Series 1, the Elite Series 2 ends up malfunctioning after heavy usage. I do not slam or throw my controller so I know it isn't from mishandling. with my current Elite Series 2, I've been using the Left and Right Bumpers a lot (with NFS Unbound) and the Right Bumper is not less responsive than it initially was. If Microsoft starts using more durable materials then it will be an easy 5 star rating.

Holds up pretty well considering how much it gets used,

Love the Elite 2 controllers. Back peddles add an entirely new element of gameplay that I am unable to live without. There are 2 common defects however that lead to having to exchange on several occasions. Those defects are stick drift or bumper malfunction. After a year, one of these issues are sure to arise. I would advise on getting the extended warranty. This issues are very common in All controllers, but this product is quite a lot for a yearly investment.

Love the integrated rechargeable battery. New features like 3 programmable mapping on the controller and new stick tension adjustments. Much improved from previous Elite.

I’m a light ‘gamer’ with an obsession for new hardware. Compared to the in-box controller, the XE2 is a no-brainer. Compared to the XE1, things get a little closer. Aesthetically, the E2 looks better imo. Maybe it’s just because it’s different than the first gen... who knows. The feel... Feeling the controller in hand is everything I expected, and wanted. The internal battery makes the back less-crammed. The triggers feel bitter-smooth. The analog sticks, d-pads, paddles, etc are all great. The paddles are smaller and this leads to a better feel and less accidental hits... EXCEPT when switching the trigger ‘pull’ switch from its lowest (closest to paddles) setting. I’ll get used to it. The analog stick tension customization is cool, though I wish a tool wasn’t needed, but I get it. Kind of. The profile switcher is to my liking, as is the USB-C input so I’m not constantly flipping it back and forth to get it to fit the port (first world problems). The included dock is a nice touch and has magnets for proper seating. I love magnets... The case is nice and the port is cool, I guess. If you aren’t going to customize the controller via the Xbox accessories app (or whatever they call it), then this controller isn’t for you. Hope this helps someone out there!

I love these controllers, this is my 4th one. The controller has some weight to it, it doesnt feel like a cheap piece of plastic. I play a lot of FPS games and I wear the remotes out after about a year and a half of gaming. They probably should last longer but i enjoy using them and i think for the amount of wear i put on them, its worth the money every 12-16 months. Its also nice to pick up just the remote when i dont need all the extras.

Very good product, grips make for a very comfort hand feel, feels solid. However the Magnetic Dpad is not great if you're looking to play fighting games with it, as it has a chance of popping off from intense use. Most buttons feel very good, press smooth, and very nice clicks. However out of the box I noticed that my x button had some stick which seemed to go away after some use. I'd recommend getting the warranty incase of any defects.

Great controller always get the protection plan it’s saved me tons over the years

This is the best gaming controller I have ever seen. Almost entirely metal control components, feels solid in the hand. This controller makes the PS5 dual sense controller look cheap (and DEFINITELY makes the regular Xbox controller feel cheap). The adjustments and precision this controller allows for makes it worth the price.

Great Controller, Never given me any issues with FPS Games. Definitely Recommend
