Customers are saying
Customers are pleased with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. They also frequently praise its comfortable grip, good weight, and responsive feel. However, a significant number of customers have reported issues with stick drift developing quickly and concerns regarding the durability of the buttons, including the bumpers. Despite some initial hesitation about the price, the positive attributes like its overall comfort and useful paddles generally contribute to a positive user experience.

Worth the upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So many more features than the gen 1. I find it way more comfortable to hold, it’s lighter, and the thumb sticks feel 10x better. You can also adjust how stiff the thumb sticks are. I tried the one my sister had and knew I needed the upgrade.

Upgraded Xbox series 2.

Xbox Elite 2 controller 1 month review
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly I was skeptical at first, but the controller fits very comfortably and has a hight build quality. Stick drift is definitely still a thing, but with the stick tension adjustment it was easy to find a balance, unlike the original Xbox controller. You get what you get as far as tension goes. Overall great product, things I wish it had; hall effect joysticks and a better price tag (high cost).

Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This isn't just a great controller; it's a game-changer. The moment I picked it up, I was impressed by how comfortable it felt in my hands—the ergonomics are spot-on, making even the longest gaming sessions feel effortless. The buttons are incredibly responsive, and the analog sticks offer pinpoint accuracy, which has already improved my reaction time in fast-paced games. Every input feels immediate and precise, giving me a level of control I didn't even know I was missing. Honestly, I'm kicking myself for not buying this sooner; it's completely transformed my gaming experience.

Big fan!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I mean this is a no brainer. This is the best XBOX controller on the market. Weight is right, feel is solid, options and attachments are easy to plug and play. They fixed the rubber grip issue from series 1 controller.

So Far, So Good
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far, the controller is excellent. It has a good weight, balance, and feel to it when compared to the non-elite controller. I also got the warranty per the recommendation of numerous sources.

Elite FTW
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Controller feels amazing and paddles are very nice. Only issue is the left stick. I’d suggest the protection plan if your left stick starts to break or drift. Only reason for the 4 star but best buys coverage is great.

Great Product but QC is bad
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing controller if you get a good one out of the box. I had to go exchange it several times until I got one that wasn’t defective. Finally found one that wasn’t and it works/feels great!

Great customization, half the buttons don’t respok
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The controller was on back order so I was super excited when it became available(covid and what not). Overall the controller has unmatchable customization, but like other reviews say it has its problems... the A and B button don’t Respond 1 in 10 presses.. which isn’t that big of a deal since you can use the paddles... that’s all cool until the paddles do the same. I love this controller. I swapped from years of playing claw on a regular x-box controller. All I can say is buy it from Best Buy and get the geek squad 2 year protection. Geek squad has no questions asked and you get a new one. This controller is plagued with problems.... so use Best Buy

As advertised
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is an elite 2 without all the extras. Great for replacing broken elite 2. Im not a big warranty person but i highly recommend getting the warranty. Saves you about $70 (if you buy the warranty again after turning in broken controller) and saves you the headache and stress of getting a new controller. If you start getting stick drift, button stop working, controller stops charging, battery stops holding a charge, etc, take it to bestbuy, redeem the warranty, they give you the new controller, buy the warranty on it for $50, and you are back to gaming. (Warranty is 2 years, its a new controller)
