Customer Ratings & Reviews

I almost forgot how great it was playing with a paddle controller! No need to take your thumbs off of the joysticks anymore! This controller is amazing! It is a bit heavy, but you get used to the weight very quickly. I love that it does not have to have the batteries replaced and you can just set it on the charger in the case to charge it up. The customization options are great as well. It comes with different height and style joysticks, and the standard D-pad if you prefer that. You can also adjust the tensions for both joysticks which is awesome. I love everything about this controller! I only wish it came in more colors! If you've never played with a paddle controller, you are missing out! This is probably better than a Scuff controller and a bit cheaper too!

Awesome controller, minor issue with stick drift but it’ll take about 3-4 months until it really give in.

Having complete control is gaming makes everything much more enjoyable and that is what the Xbox Elite 2 controller provides. The most important feature for me was the thumbstick tensioning. I increased it fully and it had an immediate effect in playing First Person Shooters. The control is much more precise and the stick drifting is gone. Add in the full wrap around grips and a more solid and compact feel, this controller fits perfectly in my hands. All the customizable features can help make your favorite games play even more fun! I got my money out of the XE1 controller, I know I'll get it out of this one as well!

Built in battery, comes with charging case, multiple replacement sticks and adjustable tension on the sticks. Controller has a good weight to it and feels solid

These controllers are great. Pros: Customizable Feels great Love the grips Cons: About to get my 4th one is 6 years. Had 1 with bad stick drift after a year (common issues) 1 both bumpers stopped working consistantly (common) Was able to use paddles to solve this problem. 1 that the house cracked (might have came that way), but spread. Treated the controller carefully too. So, love the controller. But i am also prepare to replace it every year lol.

Whoa, now this is premium. I can't get over it. The weight, the response on all the buttons, the sheer feel of metal, and it feels so good. Battery life is great, Type C charging is always a plus, Astro can learn so much. Their C40 was absolute dog barf.

Finally a remote that fits perfectly in my hands. Removable paddles on the bottom make it where your hands never leave the remote. Adjustable triggers are also a plus.

Absolutely love the design of these controllers especially being able to tighten the sticks, which if I’m being honest is really the only reason I’ve bought this controller 5 times now. Every single one has had either horrible stick drift or one of the bumpers stop working. Other than that love the controllers. Also they all lose stiffness in the sticks when they are tightened over time.

The best controller ever and the way you can set ut up priceless.

Purchased to use with my pc for cod and other games. For me it was nice but a rough adjustment from ps5 controller. If you’re used to Xbox or never used controller then I’d think it’d be fine but after being away from Xbox for so many years and having adjusted to ps5 then coming back to Xbox it was a bit much. I love how light it is compared to the ps5 version of pro controller.

These are hands down better than the controller that comes with the system. If you already own the pro version with the charging station and the triggers this is a good second elite. If you don't care about the charging station or the back trigger's than this is a good option but I personally use the back trigger's and I like the ability to go into the Xbox and change the buttons and controller light colors. Only thing I would suggest is to purchase the warranty as they can break. They really need to use more stronger bumper buttons and better sticks as these eventually will get drift. But if it does under warranty then just return it for a new one.

Great controller especially if you already have the elite and you just need an extra one for the price is a step up but if you have the extra $50 just get the elite so you can get all the other accessories and the charging block, but if you just need a premium step up of a controller, this is it

It has way more internal customizatio. Than i expected. The co troler feels premium. I think its a little expensive, so i got it on sale

Minor stick drift until some tuning. I owned the previous elite so I knew what I was getting. I just love the weight, build quality (less the sticks) and MS needs to use Hall next time. Perfect controller if they did.

These come with tons of options for customization as far as your gaming style! They work super great and I have had 0 issues as far as connectivity and stick drift. I wish they were more sturdy one drop and the its opening at the edges. The magnetic joysticks and dpad are super cool but for me stronger magnets would be appreciated. Because that one drop, makes them pop off, sometimes found like a year later!

Love the button mapping and customizability and very comfortable love the built in battery

I have used the Original Elite and the Series 2 for years. By far the best controller on the market for me. Everything is extremely high quality, and i believe there is no comparison. Even the weighted feel, feels premium and durable. Its hard to find paddles on other controllers that are as comfortable as the Elite, especially with 4 paddle. So much customization you can do to give you every gaming advantage.

Awsome remote, a little expensive but very well worth it. great customization options and feel.

This device checks a lot of boxes. It's really comfortable to hold, and has a nice weight to it. Clearly uses good materials as it just feels great to hold and use. The problem is that it's very unreliable. I've now gone through 3 of these via warranty repair, which is crazy for a device of this sort. My regular Xbox controllers have worked solidly (minus some wear on the rubber from use), but the Elite Series 2 has had issues with the bumpers across all the devices I've had within 6 months. A very frustrating experience, and definitely would recommend waiting until a version 3 or updated release where Microsoft has sorted out these issues. Search online, they're very common.

Love all the features, feel, and most importantly battery life. Writing the review 2 years after purchase, still holding up great.
