Customer Ratings & Reviews

Microsoft's Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 has a not only a premium feel as noted by other reviewers, but also a quality appearance. Optional buttons and adjustments that be made to the controller only add to a stellar gaming experience. Price point might be considered a bit high, but definitely worth it if it can be purchased at a sale price.

It's a recent generation xbox controller, so it can easily connect to your windows pc without the need of a dongle. The back buttons... on the back... are a life-changer. I would personally have a hard time going back to a controller without back buttons. You can customize the back buttons -and I think the general buttons too- however you want. You can have up to 4 back buttons in total and they are all removable. So if you are unsure about using them all at once, you can simply ease into it. The price is expensive, so make sure to properly think if you want such a product, but it is cheaper than getting the xbox core controller and the separate accessories. Great to play on your xbox or if you like to use controllers for your pc, it is easy to do so.

A great pro controller for the dedicated Xbox player. Great battery life and you can program your controller to your play style.

I’ve been gaming with the elite controller since the Series 1 had released. Coming from an avid gamer, switching from a regular controller to an elite, literally heightens your response time and you’ll gain some extra instincts in-game. The variety and creativity of setting customizations with this controller are intuitive and furthermore intriguing. I have 3 presets; COD, Elden Ring, and Cyberpunk! Which each are unique to their own button mapping layouts. (TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE BACK TAB BUTTONS.) I say if you want to up your gaming experience this is definitely a main tool that will offer that change of play! My only CON would be the peeling that they’ve yet to fix on the side seam of the controllers. With that being said, I highly recommend buying a replacement program through Best Buy. It’s a pocket $aver forsure!

Had to return it due to a double gifting, but boy does my nephew love this controler. Every game has its own setting for the back pedals, uses it mainly for PC, but he loves it!

100% recommend if you game a lot this is the controller for you

It’s branded. It’s customizable. It’s built for PC and console. Works great, feels great. Even my sweaty hands appreciate the slight rubberized touch. The stick tops fall off if the controller falls. Don’t let it fall.

These are awesome, except some units the rubber peels over time. Still a fantastic controller.

Little to no stick drift, amazing controller and it feels good

Got a great deal on this on the Open Box Rack, Works Great and has all it parts..

The best controller in the game. Perfect for anyone that feels all the Xbox controllers are fragile.

By no means have I found the controller to be of poor build quality. Everything feels great from the grips to the beautiful metal dpad and padles. The customization is nice, very easy to setup and disassemble/reassemble. Everything that is able to be detached is magnet. Pretty strong magnets. I love how you can turn down the brightnessof the Xbox logo to fairly dim. Trigger stops are the bomb. Paddles are hard to get used to imo

Great controller, has a nice weight to ot that gives it that high quality feel. Trustworthy. Durable. Fun.

Really cool controller. Takes a little bit to get used to with all the pedals in the back but very useful once you get the hang of it. Cool features being able to interchange the buttons and super smooth movment of the joysticks. Great for gamers or if you're trying to take your gaming to the next level. A little pricey but worth it if you're an avid gamer.

I recently purchased this controller for my Dad because i have had one for nearly 4 years and have never had an issue with it outside of needing a battery replacement, which is a very simple process. I would 100% recommend this controller to anyone who wants a high end controller for their Xbox but doesnt want to spend the $200+ that other “elite” style controllers tend to have. Additionally, remapping buttons/triggers is so simple. My dad isnt much of tech person and i was able to show him how to modify the layout within a few minutes.

LASTS LONGER THAN A REGULAR CONTROLLOR FOR THOSE WHO HAVE HIGH USAGE.

*Buy the GS Protection Plan!* I thought the "2" in Series 2 would indicate an upgrade in parts and components.... I was stupidly optimistic and wrong. Pros: - Grip - Swappable Magnetic Thumbsticks & D-Pad - Paddles - 10 Foot Cable - Case w/ Charger - Multiple Swappable Profiles Cons: - Same terrible buttons and triggers - When you press RB x1 you get RB x3... "The math checks out" - Will Ferrell... This was my third Elite controller and yet another dud... My first one got stick drift in around 3 months... My second one had a mushy/ bad A button coupled with a paddle that wouldn't register presses every time... THIS ONE however had the triple pressing RB after about 6 months... The sad part is at the time I was playing a lot of MLB The Show and while RB is used it isn't like using A or X but eventually one day I was cycling through the dashboard pressing RB and without fail every time it would move me over 3 times.. Tested it in different games and triple press every time. It will be a long time before they completely re-haul these controllers.. But we will unfortunately continue to support them and buy these inferiorly built ones. If they do ever decide to use more premium buttons, bumpers and triggers this controller would be the King. Until then.. if you do decide to gamble on one spend the extra money for the Geek Squad Protection plan! You will end up using it.. I promise.

Bought this as a gift for my husband (why). He loves it but that means I'll never see him again since he will now be a gaming master with this controller. He said this is the best controller option for xbox. It definitely expensive in my opinion but it provides more options and setting for the "everyday" gamer.

I've used many controllers over the years. This is the best one I've used. Used with a gaming PC, easy to set up, easy to use. Love the feel. Side note: I've larger hands than most, has great grip and feel in my hands so might be a bit clunky for some.

Best xbox controller on the market. Great customization. Very durable and reliable
