Customer Ratings & Reviews

Phenomenal controller. It is heavier than the standard controller so it has a nice feel in your hands while gaming. And the battery life is outstanding

While heavier than many other controllers, including other cheaper Xbox controllers, it remains comfortable and the battery life is impressive.

Great controller, love the fact you can adjust the triggers all around a good buy

My favorite controller. It’s got the heft and feel of quality while offering a perfect fit for my hands. You know that sound of quality when you shut a well-made car door? Not tinny and weak, but that sold *thunk*? This is the console controller equivalent.

It’s really good it feels comfortable. I have no issues with it works great. The only problem I had that it doesn’t like work with Bluetooth with my PC but I think I have a bad Bluetooth receiver on my PC so that is not something I have against the controller I plug. It’s a braided wire that comes with it and it works really great. Mind you it is a cheaper version of the elite so it doesn’t come with the back paddle. You have to buy those separately, but I don’t actually use them much so I don’t worry about it.

They took the Elite Series 1 and made it better. The paddles are improved (less flimsy, it seems), you have more options for the hair trigger pulls (2 instead of 1), you get tension control for the joysticks, and the grip material wraps all around the controller grips instead of just the back. 4 stars because the right trigger started “sticking” a little bit. When I start pulling the trigger, it would have just a smidge more resistance than the left. Opening up the controller, there are 2 tiny foam pads attached to each trigger that eliminates the noise generated when the trigger returns to its default position. That foam had shifted on the right trigger and the adhesive was causing that stickiness. I removed the adhesive foam from both triggers since I had the controller open and it’s been great ever since. I don’t notice the extra noise at all while gaming (either because I’m wearing headphones or just engaged in the game).

A very premium controller with the premium experience to match. While I have a few qualms with the Xbox Accessory Software App that you would utilize the remap the controller's paddles, the controller itself played very well through the various FPS and RPG games I used it for, and I had zero issues setting it up with my computer and with Steam. Would recommend for anyone who wants to really have the most premium customizable controller experience.

Good battery life. Paddles work great for games you need more controls for.

Love the feel of this controller, and how comfortable it is. Paddles work great and very unique touch with the case being a charger for the controller so you can play wireless, do feel a slight drift in the right analog stick which is kinda disappointing for the price.

I’ve been using it since January 2021 it is the control you can count on to do the job. Super comfortable the battery runs and runs. No hiccup's just perfect

This is the best controller i’ve ever had. I’ve been so hesitant to buy it but then I went out and bought it and man it’s amazing. Not only does it have a good comfortable grip while gaming, BUT it also gives you a bit of personalization. I get that it’s pricy but if you’re on the fence, I would definitely recommend.

Quality build with all the features it advertises. Battery life is great. The ease of syncing to new devices and the compatibility range is good

At first I was skeptical of a 200 dollar controller. After been using it for three months now it feels fantastic much better than any other controller than I have ever used. It has a good weight to it and feels high quality. Definitely worth the 200 in my opinion, so just buy it already you know you need a new one.

I've had other Elite Series 2 controllers and they all broke fairly quickly, so i bought this as a replacement. It's great so far, but if it breaks quickly again I'll update my review

nice solid build, so far so good The Microsoft Elite Series 2 Controller is a premium gaming controller that offers a variety of features to enhance your gaming experience. With customizable buttons, adjustable thumbstick tension, and swappable D-pads, this controller allows you to tailor it to your preferences. The controller also has durable build quality and a rechargeable battery for convenience. Overall, the Microsoft Elite Series 2 Controller is a great choice for gamers looking for a high-quality, customizable controller.

Really happy with the quality. The components are each mag based and they are extremely easy to swap out. My only negative comment is the lack of a dedicated screen capture button. It can be mapped as a shift function but i miss the single button ease of use. Otherwise it's a great controller for fighting games and FPS's like Destiny 2

Awesome controller and love the color of the remote control.

Good quality compared to standard xbox controller. Was unsure at first if i wanted to order but after playing with it and being able to adjust the triggers im glad i purchased.

It's fine. Bought as a replacement for another Elite controller, which was also a replacement for an Elite controller. The previous two, the rubberized grips separated and the controller shell underneath broke apart. Both lasted about a year. If this one comes apart, I'll look at non-Microsoft brands.

Best controller on the market. By far better than the scuff controller. Long battery life. Super easy to configure and has good weight not cheap plastic.
