Customer Ratings & Reviews

Disclaimer: I got this item on sale. I would never buy this full price, but that’s a matter of personal priorities. That being said, I love this controller! It’s weighted a good bit heavier than a normal Xbox controller, which is nice. The textured, rubberized grips are great for extended gameplay. If you are interested in the extra thumb sticks, paddles, and d pad they can be gotten on Amazon from 3rd party sellers for a lot less than Microsoft’s versions. You can map 3 different profiles for different games or play styles and change them easily with a switch on the controller. It anlso has a great battery life so far. Overall, great controller. Would recommend.

I’ve been using the Xbox Elite Series 2 Core controller for a while now, and it’s honestly a game-changer. Customizable buttons are the greatest. The ability to swap out thumbsticks and adjust the trigger sensitivity also help a lot. It feels solid and substantial in your hands. The battery life, is a huge plus—no need to constantly charge it (though I usually do). It also survived a bluberry beer spill almost immediately after unboxing. Bonus. The only downside I've found is the price, which is why I took so long to buy one.

The controller is an absolute upgrade over a regular controller. I like the weight to it, also the trigger locks and other characteristics it has. But, be warned, buy a warranty for it. After awhile, like all Cbox controllers you get stick drift or buttons that dont work.

I am not a professional gamer. I picked this up because they didn't have any other controllers in stock. I didn't think much of this controller until I played around with it a bit and started noticing subtleties of ability to configure that made my experience more reactive and more involved or immersive. I didn't know the thumbsticks were magnetic and I didn't know that you could turn them left or turn them right to tighten up or loosen up the control of the stick which is pretty cool. The ability to select the trigger depth for quicker reaction is fun although I found I kept going back to not putting any tension on the trigger because it was just more comfortable to me. My only complaint is the design of the controller itself I feel that the black nubby grip sides should be a little bit longer I find after a few hours of gaming that I don't like the grip compared to the PlayStation experience. I don't agree that the price point should be $200, I think 125 would suffice but I don't know. I didn't realize until I bought this that this is not a removable battery type wireless charger, it's a Lithium-Ion rechargeable so you get eight solid hours of gameplay off this thing without having to recharge it. Compared to having to put batteries in your controller every so often, I love this lithium ion battery option. PlayStation gives you that by default but again subtleties here.

Didn't think about it coming with the thumbsticks with the sharp edge around the top. Luckily I had an Elite Series 2 that had stick drift and was able to move the thumbsticks from it to this and now I'm happy. Having black thumbsticks also broke up the sea of red nicely. Still think it is weird to have white on the back.

It was a very good controller over the time I had it. Over the span of a year it broke down. The right bumper slowly stopped working even after many attempts to fix it. Other than that it was a very good controller.

Works very well and I love the grips and handle/lever attachments, and how you can customize it to your liking. But stick drift got horrible only a month in or so. Luckily I got the 2 year protection plan which covers things like that! Phew* will be exchanging asap because it’s an amazing controller for what it’s worth!

This is the core elite 2 controller, so it does not come with the paddles or the extra analog sticks, but you can use paddles and sticks from other elite 2 controllers. It does, however, come with the key to adjust the sticks’ tension. Overall, the controller works well, but I would recommend getting the service protection plan. Microsoft only covers their controllers for 30 days.

I love the feel of the elite controller. The best overall weight and ergonomics of any that I’ve used.

My 10yr old son loves it , but I notice the joy stick and the D pad removes very easily off the controller and he already lost them. Wouldn’t recommend for younger kids

The product's remarkable aspects, such as its solid sensation and customizable features, are truly astounding. However, its durability leaves much to be desired, prompting me to exchange it about three or four times.

I bought this as my old one started to unpair from my PC this one doesn’t I like the red I was looking forward to the underside buttons. I really am happy with it all around

Great controller for serious gamers. Just wish the blue came with all the additional accessories as the black one. A definite must have to optimize your gaming needs

Great controller with plenty of customization. The only slight problem is the analog stick likes to swing in the opposite direction when you let go of it.

Sweet controller and color way with the red and black Confused on why the joysticks and directional buttons are magnetic.

Great quality! Controls are smooth and i love that you can change out the joysticks, etc.

Dont drop it though parts go flying .. nice solid feel long battery life.. only 4 stars because parts come off very easily .. id say its an adult controller! Grab one!

Works great BUT why is it that the RB button always gives out! I also have the 1st one which is just the elite series 2 i got it when it came out and same thing happened to it. I dont get it. So i might end up purchasing the regular controllers again cause its weird that they last longer...

I like that the controller is rechargeable no batteries required and the back pedals pretty cool came in clutch in the games

Good product needs some tweaking in the longevity of the thumb sticks and bumpers
