Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have owned this for a month. I will updated if I have any issues in the coming months. I did not own the series 1 so I can not compare. I also do not play everyday, but more like 3 days a week and I have not had to charge the controller a second time yet. My favorite feature is the tighter tension on the thumbtacks and the hair triggers. I have no buttons that stick and they all register with a normal push. Nice heavy feel to the controller. The charge dock is a huge bonus and love that you are able to charge it in the case. No complaints yet. Highly recommended.

Amazing feel and customizable paddles. The battery life is also very amazing and best of all if already has type c USB built into it.

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 is a very solid controller. Perfect for casual gaming - great grip, good sensitivity. You need something better for competitive gaming. For the price, I would go with a different controller.

Best little controller on the plaent. I've owned a variety of Xbox and playstation controllers. I loved this feel this one had. Was slim and loved the additional buttons for a more customized gaming experience. This bad boy lasted me 2 years I plan on getting another one of these.

One of the best controllers out. I got 2 of them and they work great

Good controller but buttons are already getting stuck.

Great controller would buy again best controller around

Dislike that the bumpers are always the first to go, the grips come off pretty easily, and the stick drift happens way too early in its life. Overall still like the remote, just wish it was produced better similar to the Xbox 360 remotes.

Great controller but the buttons tend to stop working and you get stick drift alot. Microsoft needs to rework these controllers big time. They do have great battery life though. Buy a warranty on this because after a year you will need another controller.

This is an excellent controller and entirely customizable for personal use or even special use cases in games you want different control styles. It is built like a brick s-house. The problems arise when connected to PC to game as advertised. The connection drop outs using bluetooth are infuriating. And yet, even with the cost, I refuse to use anything else. I even bought a second one for the game room in the basement. They are just that good. Certain games will have connection drops, such as Halo Infinite Campaign, AC Vallhalla, and Cyber Punk 2077. Some of those titles have somehow fixed the issue (or it has stopped happening to me at least) but some games persist in dropping connection. And its not a battery thing, or a pc problem. Its the actual controller signal. Heres the thing though, its worth the few headaches. I cant imagine not using these to game. They also have a great feature to allow more than one connection. You can connect it to your PC and if you want to quickly swap to an already connected xbox series x then you douple tap the tiny connection button and it should swap control to the new device as long as you have previously setup that connection. Well.made, accurate response, smooth triggers that can customize travel distance, extra paddles can be installed on the back, shoulder buttons are the best you have ever used, and the sticks have zero dead zone issues. Its an expensive beast, but it is worth it. You wont ever pickup the base contoller again once using the elite 2. Plus, it charges using usb c

The best controller by far. I wont ever use another controller. The lifespan of one of these is about 3 years so if you feel thats worth it just keep it in mind. I am a heavy user and the onyl thing that went wrong on mine was a single back paddle was only responding 80% of the time

Look, bottom line, if you're serious about gaming, you need the Microsoft Elite Series 2 in your life. It's like upgrading your gaming experience from regular to legendary. Comfort? Check. Style? Double-check. Customization? Triple-check. This controller is the real deal, my fellow gamers. Don't miss out – it's a game-changer in every sense.

Solid controller.. everything felt high quality and a lot of ways to customize.. the only reason i returned it is because i want to try a controller with paddles beside each other versus on top of each other...

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.

best xbox contoller for competitve gamers. has every single bit of customization u would need from the joy stick tension to the input control sensitivty. the desing of the controller makes it fit great in small and big hands and the paddles on the back never gt in the way. if u game this is a must have i personally do not and wont play if i dont have one of these. if u pick a diffrent controller u might as well be playing with a cast on!

Great upgrade to the previous Elite. I had an issue with the left joystick on the Elite 1. Swapped it for the Elite 2 and have been super impressed! Microsoft got smart and made this controller a rechargeable unit. It comes with a charging dock ad well. Best part...the battery life is GREAT! The controller feels very substantial in your hand and isn't flimsy AT ALL. I highly recommend! Make sure to get the Geek Squad warranty...just in case. Its totally worth it. Especially when you're spending this kind of cash on a controller!

Excellent controller for the price. My son is a game and love it.

Overall a good controller with back paddles. It is a plus if you are looking for added weight in comparison to the standard controller. The back paddles need some time to get used to. The most important feature to me is that the sticker click can be disabled.
