Customer Ratings & Reviews

I got my brother the Microsoft Elite Series 2 controller for Christmas, and it's a good boost. The build quality seems strong and classy, and the adjustable thumbsticks and rear paddles are quite handy for gaming. My brother claims the battery life is also very good. It's a tad expensive, but considering how customizable it is, it's worth it. He loves it, therefore I'd say it was a great gift!

The controller is amazing until it starts having issues. I've had mine for a month and its got stick drift in the right analog. The RB button will register twice when pressed once, sticking buttons, its sad. I love this controller but it would get 5 stars if it was built with better quality internally.

Amazing customization Great handling Great overall product and performance

The Xbox controller is already one of my favorites. Going to the Elite 2 really made it feel cheap and that is saying something. It has a quality weight, incredible battery life, and the customization's are something I have wanted for a long time. Worth every dime - I am glad I invested in this - it's incredible.

I love this bad boy. I was hesitant spending that much money on a controller but man, it's worth it. Setting the paddles up for custom use on different games is a breeze. It has greatly improved my play in FPS like Warzone. Feels amazing in the hands. Charge is ridiculously long. I simply love it.

Bottoms stick and stick drift for the price you Figure the bumpers won’t stick after six months, but that’s why you must get the warranty

Wow!! the quality on these are amazing. So I normally play fifa or madden, butt thought about a switch to fps games and though might as well givr these a try, and wow are they great. You have more customizations and the controller feels sturdy in your hands, its a good investment for sure.

It's super comfortable to hold, with a great ergonomic design that allows for extended gaming sessions without any discomfort. The buttons are responsive and perfectly placed, providing precise control over your games. The thumbsticks give just the right amount of resistance, offering smooth and accurate movement. And let's not forget about the rumble feature that adds an extra layer of immersion to your gaming experience. Whether you're playing action-packed shooters or engaging in fast-paced sports games, the Xbox controller delivers unmatched performance. It's a must-have accessory for any serious gamer!

I really enjoy this controller. Its light and helps out alot when gaming.

I bought this for elden ring primarily and the paddles are a game changer, will definitely come in handy in other games. It has a premium feel, lots of customization options and is easy to customize and setup.

Super weighty and premium in terms of feel. Pairs quickly and works without interruptions in my experience. Battery life is great! I got about a week and a half of heavy use out of it on a single charge. Costs a lot, but totally worth it in my book.

Old reliable right here. Ive tried a few different controllers and always come back to the elite 2 series because of its sturdiness, heaviness, button map quality and ease of use and it connects with my wireless headsets

The Red Microsoft Elite Series 2 Controller serves as a budget-friendly alternative to the premium Elite Series 2 model. While it lacks the additional accessories included with the standard version, it features a plastic-coated body with rubberized grips, rather than the full rubberized texture found on the premium model. Despite these differences, this controller is a noticeable improvement over the standard Xbox controllers. For a slightly higher price, it offers an impressive battery life and the convenience of built-in recharging. If you're looking for an affordable entry point into the Elite Series 2 lineup, this is a solid option. However, I personally prefer the texture and included accessories of the default Elite Series 2 controller, as they provide a more premium and comfortable experience. Overall, I’d rate this model 4 stars: it’s a great step up from the basic Xbox controllers but falls short of the comfort and quality of the black Elite Series 2 controller.

One of the best controllers out there. Heavier and sturdier than the SCUFs, comfortable paddles and good customization options

The best controller I’ve had so far and awesome battery life

This is by far the best I have ever had! The quality is beyond what I was expecting. The battery life is phenomenal. I still haven’t had to charge it. It was really pricy though. Not sure it’s worth $180. Over $200 with geek squad protection. If you want a really great controller though, this is the one.

This is really the best store bought controller you can get! I bought the black version and it developed stock drif but I dropped it, this one I've taken care of havng dropped it once and still is going store!

I bought the Microsoft Elite Series 2 wireless controller to play some games on my PC and Xbox. It's a pretty good controller, but not perfect. The design is sleek and comfortable, and the buttons are responsive and customizable. The battery life is also impressive, lasting for hours on a single charge. However, I have some issues with the durability and the price. The controller feels a bit fragile, and I'm worried it might break easily. The price is also quite high, especially compared to other controllers on the market. Overall, I think it's a decent controller for gaming, but not worth the hype.

I've been using the Elite Series 2 mostly for shooters like Halo Infinite and Marathon, and it's a real upgrade over the standard controller. The four back paddles are the biggest win for me. Being able to jump, crouch, and reload without taking my thumb off the right stick made a noticeable difference in fights. The hair trigger locks are great too, with quicker shots and less travel on the trigger.

Bought this as a replacement for my faulty Astro C40 controller which is now discontinued. Fortunately I was able to easily return that for this Elite controller through the Geek Squad replacement program which I highly reccomend for any controller if you're a heavy gamer. Regardless, the controller is great. I wish it was slightly larger for my bigger hands but thats just preference. I think this controller is a great value considering the included accessories you get, not forcing you to buy them seperately. The software you download via microsoft is also pretty sharp and gives you lots of options to fine tune your controller. Probably not the most optimal choice for pro gamers but a nice addition to your collection if you want something a bit more customizable then your standard controller.
