Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options, along with its comfortable feel and good weight. However, a significant concern among users is the prevalence of stick drift and issues with button quality, particularly with the bumpers and A button. The price is also a point of hesitation for some.

    This is a really nice controller. Smoother and more precise than my old xbox one controllers. Apparently the "Core" version doesn’t come with any parts for some of the extra levers, so I had to drop $20 online for some aftermarket levers for the back of the controller.

    I had the elite series one and that was great until I started getting ghost movements in the left joystick. The series 2 Elite feels a bit better with the added grips and I LOVE the recharging feature. Been playing 7 days straight still haven’t needed to recharge the remote. And this is 5-7 hours a day playing. I love that I can map the triggers in the back for games like APEX and Smite. Very customizable. It is expensive, but you “feel” the difference. I think a little cheaper and it’s 100% hands down the best controller ever.

    If you're looking for an obvious gaming edge this controller is what you're looking for. Back paddles should be considered illegal NEVER remove your fingers from the analogs. Controller itself is slick looking buttons are so easy to switch, comes with multiple replacement analogs different heights/styles (concave or bubbled). Yes controller is a bit expensive but if you're into competitive gaming or just into expensive fancy looking things then buy this right now and don't look back..

    Although we had to return this (button input was lagging on the PC), it feels very good in hand. We also have an PS5 elite controller and using this one in comparison, it's a little heavier but still has amazing grip and the satisfying buttons. Connecting to PC via cord or Bluetooth was easy.

    I got this controller for use specifically with my PC, but as it has differential profiles available (three to exact) I was also able to pair it with my Xbox. Great controller and I’m so impressed with the quality.I felt as though it was very well constructed. This makes two elite 2 controllers I have…too bad it won’t pair to my PS5

    Keep it away from kids that don't know how to respect people's things. This is my 3rd Elite Controller. 1 first gen and 2 second gen. My daughters completely broke the first 2. This one goes under lock and key. I love the USB TYPE C for data and charging it cuts down on the amount of stuff I have on my desk. Virtually no input lag wireless. Works better in COD wired in my opinion. Great weight to it. It feels solid and premium. Just enough weight to make you feel engaged in the action but not too much to fatigue the forearms.

    Customization is cool and all. BUT The battery life alone is enough of a reason to buy this controller. Feels nice and well built, so far so good for the first year. The paddles on the rear of the controller are actually a blessing and a curse, some games you love using them and other games, well good thing they are removeable! Only reason for 4 out of 5 for 'value'; its expensive but worth it if you're a gaming enthusiast.

    The Microsoft Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller is outstanding! Its sleek design, premium build quality, and customizable features make it a top-notch choice. The improved ergonomics and reliable wireless connectivity enhance the gaming experience. It's a worthwhile investment for serious gamers looking for precise control and durability. Highly recommended.

    For what u paid for (used) it’s great! Unfortunately I was expecting to come in its original box but didn’t, which it’s still ok. It came with everything, the controller was spotless and scratch less too! But, as I expected for a used item, the left trigger had some registering problems on its lowest setting, besides that the rest of the controller works perfectly.
