Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the product's great overall performance, excellent battery life, and extensive customization options. They frequently praise its comfortable feel, good weight, and comfortable grip. However, a significant concern raised by users is the issue of stick drift, which appears to develop quickly. Additionally, some customers have experienced problems with button quality and found the price to be a point of hesitation.

    After going through controllers, I decided to upgrade to the Elite. Feels great in your hands and should last longer based on build quality.

    The controller feels great in your hands and the ability to set the response for LS & RS is really useful in a lot of games. The ability to switch between profiles while playing is great for shooters b/c you can quickly switch to a sniper setup with precision aiming and then back to your regular setup. Ive only had it for a few weeks, so I cant speak tonits durability, but based on what Ive seen I think this will last a long time.

    The controller works as intended but it keeps disconnecting with a wireless connection to my PC. I have updated the drivers and restarted the computer and it still disconnects. When I use it with the xbox it doesn't disconnect.

      Hi Joseph,

      We're sorry that there's an issue with your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. First, we recommend troubleshooting the issue with Xbox Support. If that doesn't help, one option is to invest in a Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10, which may offer a more stable wireless connection than Bluetooth. Xbox Support may be contacted here: https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution

      Hope that helps,

    If you've been considering a controller like this, grab it up! Not badly priced compared to other options and will help elevate you gaming experience. In my opinion anyways.

    This newer version of the elite controller has some added new features that really set it apart from regular controllers. The case also includes a charging dock which you can connect through the case if you wanted. Absolutely worth it if you can fit this in your budget.

    I bought this controller specifically to play Call of Duty. Once you get used to playing with it, you’ll wonder how you ever played without it. The controller has multiple customizable settings and it’s easy to switch between them. Definitely a 10 outta 10!

    Months in and both bumpers have stopped working half the times I press them. I have to press hard in the middle to get them to register the click now which makes this unusable. Sad because I owned the original Elite controller and had the issue with the rubber gripping peeling off on both sides. Now this controller has defective left and right bumpers after only a few months of use, never dropped.

    I love the controller. I just hate how buttons have gotten stuck over time and/or stopped working - left trigger and right bumper. I've had to replace the controller twice, but keep coming back for more!
