What customers are saying

The Microsoft Xbox Elite Series 2 controller offers a premium gaming experience with high-quality construction, a comfortable and customizable design, and advanced features like adjustable trigger and thumbstick tension, custom profiles, and long-lasting battery life. However, some users have reported issues with stick drift and unresponsive buttons, especially after extended use. While an excellent choice for dedicated gamers, the high price point and quality control concerns may be drawbacks for some.

    Beautiful

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - 17 janvier 2023

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These look and feel Amazing. They were on sale. The controller isn't that much different from other controllers when playing an actual game. Playing shooting games like: (Battlefield 1 Battlefield 4 Battlefield HardLine Battlefield V Battlefield 2042 Call of Duty MW Ghost recon Wildlands The Division Rainbow Six Siege) did meet my expectations with this controller. The thumb sticks are short, rough and not enough push moving the solider to ho fast this way or that way. Maybe time will tell if this controller adopts to me.

    The best controller available!

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - 18 décembre 2019

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've use the Elite controller from Microsoft since they first came out. They are a very nice controller. 40 hours per charge is impressive. Yes, you can even play and charge at the same time. The first series did have some issues. From wearing out thumb sticks to sprint/melee buttons. Yes, these controllers do get dropped from time to time. Ive broken triggers, worn out hand grips. Series 2 seems like a game changer. Its an impressive upgrade to an already great controller. Is it worth the cost? YES!

    Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - 9 mars 2024

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this as a gift for my son. He loves it. I also love the charging dock, it uses a USB-C charger which charges the controller fast. It’s a great accessory for his gaming system. We are both happy with the purchase.

    So much better than a regular controller!

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - 1 janvier 2022

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When you first pick it up you can feel how much better this controller is than a standard Xbox controller. The removable back paddles, adjustable trigger pull lengths, the interchangeable thumb sticks and D-pad, and the textured rubber grips all bring this controller to a level that’s hard to put into words. Yes, the price tag is a bit steep but with what this has for my gaming, I’ll continue to buy them as needed. I removed the bottom two (longer) back paddles because they were in the way based on how I hold the controller, but I don’t feel it has hurt my gaming and I don’t really miss them. They are very easy to remove as well. Reprogramming the back paddles is also wet easy. I highly recommend this controller!

    Looking at Scuf or Battle Beaver? Get this!

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - 9 août 2021

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This controller is amazing I absolutely love it! I was looking at scuf and battle beaver since that’s what pros use but then I stumbled upon this on Reddit and so I pulled the trigger wow! The quality is great it feels very premium. So many adjustments you can make from mapping the buttons or paddles to adjusting tension on the sticks. You can remove and use different sticks or DPAD with a quick pull. It comes with a very nice carrying case for when on the go and so you can take care of your $175 controller haha. You do have to download like 3 Microsoft apps on the computer to do that though and that is slightly annoying and makes it difficult for the average person that doesn’t know what they’re doing. Pros: -premium materials -interchangeable buttons and sticks -adjust tension of sticks and trigger tolerances -comes with a nice case to hold everything -paddles Cons: - It is nice but it is also $175 lol an Xbox is $299 so you are buying another Xbox haha kind of cray Overall I would definitely tell people to buy this And I would say it’s a good investment if you play competitive shooters like COD. It does take some getting used to. You’re gonna keep trying to hit the buttons becsuse you’ve always played like that but once you are trained you will play a lot better since you don’t have to take your hands of the sticks and away from aiming to jump reload switch weapons and lay down. I map mine right too paddle: reload Left top paddle: switch weapons Button left: jump Bottom right: lay down/crouch. I hope this helps.

    Excellent.

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - 2 septembre 2021

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent, back triggers can be modified for depth pressure. Some of the buttons are interchangeable. It also has a good texture for grip.

    Stick drift sucks

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - 6 décembre 2024

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 6 month review.... I'm now on my 3rd elite series 2 controller in 4 years... ive had this one for 6 months. MAJOR problem ..........wait for it.... you guessed it stick drift. come on guys fix it..... #HallEffect sticks and triggers.... its the future embrace it. Way better than analog until they fix this I'm moving on and that really sucks because other than that i love them, but at $180 ???? there are $40 controllers on the market with better sticks and triggers now. build quality is top notch, but internal components need to catch up with the demand of the gaming community. cant recommend anyone to buy this because of that Unfortunately..
