Customers are saying

Customers highly value the overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options offered by this controller. Users frequently praise its comfortable grip, balanced weight, and tactile feel during gameplay.

    Good when brand new, stick drift happens on either left or right thumb stick after a few months of use. BestBuy makes it easy to exchange broken defective items with their pro plan without any hassle.

    Great controller, once you’ve played with back paddles you can’t go back. Easy to program on your console. I can honestly give it 5 stars because I don’t count the normal wear and tear of a controller. I get a new controller whenever the stick drift gets too unbearable which is around 18mos for this particular controller. Some of the more expensive controllers tend to wear out sooner than that.

    Scooped this on a December sale, bought the paddles from elsewhere for $14. I've since retired my razer wolverine in favor of this. I was skeptical, but this is a really nice controller. Wirelessly connected to PC via Bluetooth, and it runs for hours in between charges.

    This is now one of my favorite controllers ever. I love the build quality, the customization, the look and feel of the controller, and just everything else this controller has to offer. Paired with the Xbox accessories app it makes gaming so much more comfortable

    This controller is much better than the series 1. I especially like the adjustable tension of the joysticks. No problems with stick drift like the last series. Only complaint I have is the A button sticks occasionally and there is an inconsistent pressure it takes for each paddle to trigger. Overall it is a complete upgrade from the standard controller!

    Love this controller for all of us features. It's very well weighted controller that offers the addition of the paddles and being able to change it the joysticks and several other features that make that a great purchase for fps plays.

    The controller feels so nice to play on especially with the grips on the controller and its clean design. I don’t have to worry about battery life as much because charging Is such a breeze and it’s lasts for a long while.

    I’ve had every single controller from PS4 / PS5 to Xbox one and now this one and this is hands down the best controller. Looks even better in person.

    I have owned the original Elite controller for years. I have replaced parts rather than purchased this newer version, but i am extremely happy with the upgrade. This controller is lighter and feels great in my hands. I am sorry I didnt replace my original elite controller sooner.

    Excellent grip, customizable via hardware and software which is very unique and helpful, various options for sticks and pads and triggers, and the warranty is by far the best warranty I have ever received. Would HIGHLY recommend for PC or XBOX gaming

    I didn’t think I noticed much of a difference at first until I forgot to charge this controller, using my old controller felt like using a fisher price toy. This is such nice quality, the charge lasts so long, and it’s heavy in a good way. Weighty.

    Amazing Controller – Great Feel and Performance! The Elite Series 2 Core (White) is absolutely worth it! The build quality feels premium, the buttons and thumbsticks are super responsive, and the adjustable tension is a game-changer for shooters and racing games. The wireless connection is solid, battery life is strong, and the clean white design looks fantastic. If you're looking to upgrade your Xbox or PC gaming experience, I highly recommend this controller!

    Love this controller. This is one feels very good compared to the black series 2. I can use on my gaming PC an my series x. The only thing is it just don’t come with other accessories. But that’s why the price is just right.

    Thisbis my 4th elite controller. The controller itself is amazing but it will not stand up to the riggers of competitive play. It lasts me about a year before I start losing the RB button and about a month later I'll develop drift. The controller us amazing beyond those issues.

    Please purchase the geek squad warranty, this is the best feeling controller on Xbox one but if you drop it at least once you might not have functional buttons no more and you will have to buy another controller, this is my third and I had to finally pay the extra cash to know that I can get my controller replaced if something goes wrong

    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.
