Professional Reviews
6 reviews from 6 critics“It’s the best Xbox controller on the market – but it doesn’t come cheap.”
“Microsoft hasn’t changed much with the Elite Controller’s first revision, but Bluetooth support, a redesigned rubber grip, and a built‑in battery make it a worthy successor.”
“The Xbox Elite 2 controller is simply the best Xbox controller you can spend your money on.”
“The Elite Controller Series 2 Core is a major functionality upgrade over the base model Xbox controller, but most “elite” gamers will want the accessories to complete the experience.”
“The new Xbox Elite controller is very expensive, and doesn’t do enough to justify costing nearly as much as an Xbox One.”
