Customer Ratings & Reviews

This one of the best controllers on the market. Well worth the price tag of $180 added with the Microsoft wireless adapter for $25. I recently got into gaming on the PC and was previously using a standard Xbox one controller. the difference between the standard and the elite is night and day. More advanced options, slightly heavier, comfortable grips, switchable parts, and a battery life that will last your for a couple of days on a full charge. No complaints yet.

Everything about the elite controller is amazing especially the durability of the controller itself.

Must have for gamers. This core elite series 2 doesn't come with case or paddles but is a replacement for the elite series 2 controller. In my opinion I would buy the extended warranty so when thumbsticks or bumpers wear out you can easily replace.

I love the controller it feels nice and I love the interchangeable parts

Great feel and functionality however this is the second one of these my son has gone through in 2 years. Buy the extended TotalTech from Best Buy. The unit is substantial and sophisticated but the magnets that hold some of the control surfaces lose their strength over time. Very expensive.

Hi all, really liking the ergonomic feel of the elite 2. Love the accessory app customization option settings. Solid metal feel with pedals. Love how I can change the trigger sensitivity for FPS. No battery issues for long gaming session. I have the case, when playing set the elite 2 in there and it charges.

The whole controller is so comfortable, I can play for like 3 days straight without charging it, because I mainly play for 4 hours a day. The case that has the charger in as well is awesome!!

The high price tag is worth it and the paddles are a game changer. It feels like a premium controller. I use this controller for steam and pc games. it works great and you charge it with the carrying case.

The battery life is crazy long on this controller. Worth getting the total tech warranty on though do to the cost of the controller.

It's a great quality remote for the price. I recommend getting one used if you need to save some $ and get a warranty on it. You could use it on both pc and Xbox both wirelessly or wired. The battery is also long lasting and it comes with a magnetic wireless charger.

Feels great, very responsive, i use it for gaming on my Xbox, PC and my mobile.

Absolutely loved everything about this controller. Weight feels great in hands, super comfortable, and customizable buttons/sticks to suit your preferences. I owned this controller for 2 months, when suddenly the sticks started drifting. I didn’t drop it, I keep good care of it, but this still happened. I should have done my research. 2 months for almost $200 just doesn’t cut it. Stick to the cheap ones, at least you expect them to be junk.

This thing is a game changer. Extremely tight gameplay. The hair trigger option is very cool and the buttons just feel higher quality. It’s a little heavier than a normal controller abut feels great in your hands. The buttons underneath take some time to get used to but are all fully customizable. It comes with a very cool charging/ travel case which is great. I would recommend this to any serious gamer. Huge improvement over my standard controller.

The Xbox Elite Series 2 Core controller feels built to last — solid grip, responsive sticks, and the extra buttons make a real difference in fast-paced games. Way more comfortable than the standard controller for long sessions. Worth the upgrade.

I bought this skeptically at first but have since loved using it. I love the extra weight, it makes the controller feel much more substantial in the hand. Following that, the customization with the extra buttons and joysticks unlock some cool stuff in games.

The Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller feels like a premium upgrade in every way. The build quality is solid, the grip is comfortable for long gaming sessions, and the adjustable tension sticks give great precision. The triggers are smooth, and the response time is excellent. I also love how easy it is to customize with the Xbox Accessories app. It’s a great choice if you want pro-level performance without the full price of the complete Elite bundle.

Very much worth the extra money to upgrade from a standard controller. It feels better, works better, and lasts longer. No signs stick drift in the first year. That alone is worth some money. But the feeling of the upgraded parts, especially the metal thumbsticks (instead of plastic), makes playing more enjoyable.

I like that this controller fits so well in my hands and surprised how durable it is. The multiple pre sets are nice. Probably best controller hands down.

The first thing I noticed was the heft of the controller. This thing is rock solid. I will say, playing with all four paddles didn’t let me get as good a grip as I wanted, so I only play with the top two (I have large hands and the lower ones got in the way), but I enjoy the advantage of being able to keep my thumb planted on the right stick. There is slight drift in the right stick out of the box and adjusting the stick tension did not fix it. That being said, it is so slight it’s so far only registered when looking at the map in Warzone. It otherwise has not affected my play. The short-throw trigger setting is great for any repeated with the trigger motion (e.g., semi-auto shooting). The paddles let me crouch and jump while aiming in CoD like the PC players, replace my stick presses for added finesse in NHL, and make some fun paddle shifters in Forza. Definitely a fun addition to my One X and happy to know it is forward compatible for the transition to the Series X. If you have the money to burn, it’s a fun addition, but not a necessity.

I like the first elite controller, but it took a lot of abuse. The second elite controller has nice grips and texture on it. I bought an open box controller but so far it has everything and works perfect perfectly.
