Customer Ratings & Reviews

Good Pro controller. Feels nice and well made, feels premium. Has a good weight to it and I love the swappable stick selection, and absolutely love the four back paddles that can be easily removed, and the triggers have stops to change the length of travel. The best part is the companion app where you can adjust the settings of the input curves and button mapping layout how you like for each individual game. You can save up to 250 individual controller profiles and have three ready to load at the press of the center button. Really nice with the weighted battery charger and case. Very premium and well made. Wish the next version would have Hall effect joysticks. But I have experienced zero stick drift and have used this controller for 7 months daily and heavily.

The Xbox Elite Series 2 controller sets a new standard for premium gaming peripherals. Its build quality is exceptional, featuring a robust construction that feels both durable and comfortable in hand. The customization options are unparalleled, with swappable thumbsticks, paddles, and D-pad, allowing users to tailor the controller to their unique preferences. The addition of adjustable tension thumbsticks and hair-trigger locks enhances precision and responsiveness, crucial for competitive gaming. The rechargeable battery and the included charging dock ensure you stay powered up without interruptions. The controller's Bluetooth connectivity expands its usability beyond Xbox, making it a versatile choice for PC gaming. While it comes with a higher price tag, the Elite Series 2's performance, durability, and customization options make it a worthwhile investment for serious gamers seeking the best in class. I highly recommend this controller!

Unbeatable customization. Amazing built-in battery life. You get several thumb sticks to choose from. You can also change out the D pad to the traditional cross style. Thumb sticks are held in with strong magnets making it easy to switch them out on the fly. You get to save an additional 3 button mappings for different games that you can change at the press of a button. There are an additional 4 buttons to use underneath the controller as well. The entire controller has a very premium feel to it. Highly recommend!

If you had the series 1 elite controller, stop reading this review and buy the dang thing already... you know how much you loved the first one, right? This one is worth $30 for the built-in li battery and included charge dock alone!!! Ok. If you are still reading, let me tell you why I love mine: First, I NEVER take my thumbs off the sticks when I am playing games anymore. This controller has magnet-attached (for easy removal or re-arranging) back paddles that can be mapped to any of the other 14 gaming inputs. 2nd, Hair-lock triggers. On the fly, I can switch between 3 trigger settings. That means you can shoot faster in Gears, Halo or COD, but still feather the break/gas/clutch in Forza (remember, remapping will allow you to use the triggers for what ever action you want) 3rd, adjustable stick tension. Maybe the game has few or zero sensitivity settings? Or maybe you just want to see what really works best for you? (Imagine tightening the stick tension while increasing the look sensitivity.) Each stick has three tension options that can be changed with the included key/tool. 4th, swappable thumb sticks. If you use Kontrol Freeks you know why this is awesome. Get each thumbstick the right height, shape and texture. Held in place via magnet, you can easily change either one whenever you need to do so. 5th, rubberized grip. That should be nuff-said, but just in case: this textured grip wraps around the left and right grips of the controller. This means you easily hold the controller no matter which or how many paddles you have attached (even if your hands get sweaty while you are in a clutch gaming moment). 6th, button mapping pre-sets. This controller has on-board flash memory to hold 3 custom, full controller mapping presets, plus super-easy access to the default mapping. One button let’s you cycle between all four on the fly, while also indicating which pre-set you are using. 7th, premium travel case. This case let’s your controller fit snug while you take it on the go; holds all the included paddles, and thumb sticks that are not in use, and let’s you charge your controller while it’s in the case!!! I mean wow. That simple resealable opening allowing the usb-c cable to connect to the charge dock is super convenient! (Plus the dock is held in place in the case by a magnet, too) I know what you’re asking: will this work on PS4 or PC? It WILL work on a Windows 10 pc! It will NOT work on PS4 but check out the ASTRO c40 controller.

If you’re reading this, you most likely need a little perspective on if this is worth buying. From my experience and comparisons to other “pro-gamer” type controllers, this is hands down the best in terms of feel and gameplay. Quality for me has been an issue with stick drift and shoulder buttons over several controllers. I hate to say it, but I love this controller so much, I have a backup waiting in a box. 2-3 hours a night of gaming for 8+ months and I usually start to see symptoms of failure. The options are to go with Geek Squad protection for which provides a same day replacement, or send it off to Microsoft for the 1 year warranty. Or both. It really is a great controller. I’d recommend protection or having a 2nd on deck in the event your primary goes down.

The Microsoft Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller for Xbox is an exceptional piece of gaming hardware that stands out for its customizable features and superior performance. With adjustable tension thumbsticks, shorter hair trigger locks, and a wrap-around rubberized grip, this controller offers enhanced precision and control. The rechargeable battery ensures up to 40 hours of gameplay, and the swappable components allow for a personalized gaming experience tailored to your style. Bluetooth connectivity and a durable carrying case add to its versatility, making it a worthwhile investment for serious gamers seeking a competitive edge.

Caught this controller on sale for 139.99 and I am recommending it on that price. Aesthetically, the controller is awesome. Full rubberized front and back handles, not that ‘faux” gripped like on the series X controller either. Interchangeable sticks and wheelpad( Change that thing ASAP, it sucks!). Honestly would have preferred another set of the rubberized sticks instead of the variations that come with it (I also don’t see how to purchase OEM ones separately). Controller body and trigger rumble is great, although the PS5 dual sense haptic feedback is awesome and I like it more. But, the feel of this controller is just top notch. Coming from PS5 to series X, I bought this controller and used it right away. So in comparison to the default series X controller, this one beats it no contest. The long lasting rechargeable built in battery, the premium feel, the resistance modifier for the analog sticks, and the customizable paddles change it for me. I keep trying to tap the paddles when I play PS5 to no avail. It might seem expensive to buy but after using it, it will be hard to play with the regular series X one. I haven’t had any of QC issues the original elite series had. The case it comes with is also a charging dock, so you can plug the USB C to the case and lay the controller on top after moving to the side the felt cloth layer.

So far this controller great from the multiple thumb sticks changing to the extra paddles. This controller is perfect for playing any first person shooter. I have connected this controller to my xbox series X, laptop, Smart tv (Samsung) and my phone and it works flawless with no issues. This is my go to controller all the time with multiple profiles i can set to for my games. The bulid of materials is great fits great in my hands. Go to elite series 2 on YouTube to find out more what you can do with the controller. That is what i did

Love the grip of the controller. Feels great in the hands, even after hours of gaming. You can tell it’s a little durable by the weight and feel. Customizing the analog sticks and back pedals to your liking is really nice to have and can do it on the fly. Really had to go through 3 controls before I actually got a good control that worked properly without any issues with the buttons. Once I actually got a good one it’s the best.

If youre accustomed to the xbox controller, you'll feel right at home here. It includes all the ergonomics youve come to enjoy over the years, but includes all the bells and whistles. Controller is sturdy, weighty, and feels premium in thr metal and matte materials. The hair triggers are an especially useful tool for serious FPS players. Highly recommend.

I love it works great for every game I want to play it feels great in my hands I don't have to stress out I can just not have to deal with what you normally have to deal with with a regular controller this control is unique it has its own personal customization feature to it so I would definitely get this and I know it's 180 bucks but it's worth it

I’ve bought this controller again and again, And will buy again if need. It lasts long and work extremely excellent. Then from customization to the mechanics work amazing. It also comes with a carry case along with interchangeable pieces. The best part is it’s also rechargeable. Not to also mention the adjustable triggers

The Xbox Elite Series 2 controller is incredible! The build quality is top-notch, with customizable buttons and paddles that make gaming feel more precise. The rechargeable battery lasts a long time, and the adjustable tension sticks are a nice touch. Worth every penny for serious gamers!

Hands down the best controller. Rechargeable by just placing it in its case. Multiple ways to adjust every aspect of the way it works. Trigger pull, dead space, sticks, 5 types of movement speed that can be adjusted and feels great in your hand. I have 3 in their cases so I can just swap them out when ones battery's low.

The Xbox Elite Controller is hands down the best controller I’ve ever used. From the moment you pick it up, the build quality stands out—solid, premium, and made to last. The customizable paddles, adjustable tension thumbsticks, and trigger locks give you a real competitive edge, especially in fast-paced shooters or precision-heavy games. What really sets this controller apart is the level of personalization. With the Xbox Accessories app, you can remap buttons, tweak sensitivity curves, and save multiple profiles. Switching between them on the fly is super smooth and incredibly useful. Battery life is excellent, the rubberized grips feel perfect in your hands, and the included carrying case and accessories add great value. If you’re serious about your gaming or just want the best possible experience, the Elite Controller is worth every penny. Highly recommended.

This is Top notch controller on the market this purchase was actually my second one because I fell in love with the first . Controller feel in the hand is 5/5 Customization is simple 5/5 Mapping and U.I simple user friendly 5/5 I’ve had other customizable controllers but they were to complicated to use every week there was a firmware update and the quality felt cheap . The only downside is that this controller does NOT come with a wireless dongle . I’m still going to give the controller 5 stars but in the future XBOX / Microsoft please add the wire dongle in the box .

This remote is awesome. From the interchangable thumbsticks and hair triggers to the completely remappable paddles. Perfect for all types of gamers! You can tell the moment you pick it up this is a quality and durable product! Not to mention the fact that the case doubles as a charger when you set the cintroller inside!

I was on the hook due to price but after purchasing I was surprised how much I enjoyed using this controller.  I like the different opinions available to me.  The controller itself is nice and comfortable.  You have the option of changing the joysticks, triggers can be set to different sensitivity, paddles can be set for quick access during game play. You can also go into the controller settings for different joystick game play options. I don't see myself using a regular controller again.  There's also a nice case with a dock to recharge your controller.

A very good controller for all around gaming. You don’t need to be a pro league gamer to get enjoyment out of this controller, the paddles allow so much versatility for so many different types of players. The small form factor and high quality materials make it sit easy and comfortable in the hands, and the long battery life will keep you playing for days. The customization potential is endless with the Xbox devices app (which can be downloaded on pc as well) which gives those who are tinkers full reign. Those who would rather just “set it and forget it” also have many great preset options.

Weight of it feels just right and u can definitely feel the quality. Charging thing I’m not sure how to use cuz it’s a bit low to the table. Still cool tho lel
