Microfiber Cleaning Cloth Review: One of the best controllers I've owned for Xbox AND PC - TLDR; pricey but more than worth it, you still gotta respect it but it's built solid, feels great and responsive, customizability is perfect, one of the best controllers I've owned next to the GameSir G7 and the new Pro version. I genuinely recommend it. Look I've played competitive for a long time since Halo 2 really but I've played CoD and R6 as well, tons of games and platforms. I've used Scuf(overrated sorry), Victrix(pretty solid and not terrible, customizable is really good but just not practical), GameSir controllers(surprisingly my second favorite line of controllers, the G7 and new Pro are just so good anything positive I say would be an understatement), the Wolverine tournament controllers are good too but also think they're overrated. ANYWAY I've honestly been blown away by this controller. It's built solid but you still need to respect it, it feels so much more responsive and the customizability is genuinely so perfect. The sticks are great. The four paddles on the back are hard to get used to but once you do it feels so good, you can't be death griping the controller though. I also didn't know but you can change the color of the light of the middle Xbox button in the Xbox Accessories app on the Xbox itself, red, blue, green, yellow, it's pretty neat. The case and accessories are great AND you can charge the controller WHILST it's cozy, zipped, and safe in the case. It does come with a cable so you can play wired or just use it to charge the controller like normal. The battery life is amazing. I don't usually rave about controllers because they can be shoddy but I've had mine for a while and it's still just as good as out of the box. Don't be afraid to use the Used - Like New versions, I got one and it was basically pristine. Review: Elite is right. But... - Top of the line controller. Just no extra bling. Listing was deceptive saying "New. " While it was mint in condition, it had a refurbished sticker on the box. So beware. ## Features - 1 x Microsoft Xbox One Elite Series 2 Controller | 1 x Microfiber Cloth - Designed to meet the needs of today's competitive gamers. Enhance your aiming with new adjustable-tension thumbsticks, shorter hair trigger locks, and a wrap-around rubberized grip. - Tailor the controller to your preferred gaming style with new interchangeable thumbstick and paddle shapes. Save up to 3 custom profiles and 1 default profile on the controller and switch between them on the fly with the Profile button. - Experience limitless customization with the Xbox Accessories app. Assign a button to act as a Shift key to enable alternative inputs for each of the other buttons. - Stay in the game for longer with up to 40 hours of rechargeable battery life and re-engineered components that are built to last. Charge the controller either inside or outside the carrying case with the included USB-C cable and charging dock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B082LNJ927 | | Additional Features | Adjustable Tension Thumbsticks, Durable, Hair Trigger Locks, Rechargeable, Wireless | | Best Sellers Rank | #9,949 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games ) #517 in PC Game Controllers | | Brand Name | Microsoft | | Button Quantity | 16 | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One X, Xbox One S, Xbox One, Windows 10, Android, IOS | | Compatible Video Game Console Models | Microsoft Xbox One, Microsoft Xbox One S, Microsoft Xbox One X | | Connectivity Technology | Bluetooth | | Controller Type | Gamepad, Joystick | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (3,980) | | Hardware Platform | Gaming Console | | Item Dimensions | 1 x 2 x 2 inches | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 2"D x 2"W x 2"H | | Item Weight | 2.82 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Microsoft | | Manufacturer Part Number | FST-00003_EDI_1 | | Model Name | FST-00003 | | Model Number | FST-00003_EDI_1 | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | UPC | 094148228648 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Microsoft - **Model Name:** Elite Series 2 - **Compatible Devices:** Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One X, Xbox One S, Xbox One, Windows 10, Android, IOS - **Controller Type:** Gamepad, Joystick - **Connectivity Technology:** Bluetooth ## Images ![Microsoft Elite Series 2 Controller - Starter Bundle - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/514euvnzNcL.jpg) ![Microsoft Elite Series 2 Controller - Starter Bundle - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61wCYKdws1L.jpg) ![Microsoft Elite Series 2 Controller - Starter Bundle - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61JjvJNUqSL.jpg) ![Microsoft Elite Series 2 Controller - Starter Bundle - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ilh1x3G6L.jpg) ![Microsoft Elite Series 2 Controller - Starter Bundle - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71mmdPYu5ML.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Why does this cost $100 more than the price that’s listed on the Microsoft website?** A: I just purchased mine from microsoft for $186.61 yesterday! Free shipping added before tax $171.00... will receive my controller on the 11/30 via fedex **Q: What the scam of a bundle? How is this a bundle?** A: It's not a bundle thats the scam. When you order the controller by itself it originally and always comes with all the other accessories like the case, chargers, paddles and thumbsticks. They just marked up their price, this is an example of PRICE GOUGING!!! They are trying to make you pay more by false advertising and I got scammed. **Q: Why is this called a bundle when it’s just what’s regularly included when you buy an Xbox Elite series 2 controller?** A: This seller is a major price gouger. The included "bundle" accessories already come with the Elite V2 controller. By claiming this as a bundle you are getting charged an extra $100 for no reason besides there is limited supply available. Sad. **Q: why is your controller a hundred dollars more for the same items sold on the microsoft store?! huh?!** A: False advertising of an official product from microsoft themselves with an inflated price for nothing extra included. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best controllers I've owned for Xbox AND PC *by J***S on August 15, 2025* TLDR; pricey but more than worth it, you still gotta respect it but it's built solid, feels great and responsive, customizability is perfect, one of the best controllers I've owned next to the GameSir G7 and the new Pro version.

Just no extra bling. Listing was deceptive saying "New. " While it was mint in condition, it had a refurbished sticker on the box. So beware. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best high end controller *by A***E on July 14, 2024* I’ve used scuff controllers and few other random brands and always had a problem with them breaking easily in a couple months. I’m a life long gamer and need the best gear I can get to perform the best, this controller has been phenomenal, solving the problem I’ve had with previous ones especially because all the parts are replaceable for relatively cheap. The trigger options and 4 paddles are exactly what any gamer could ask for they all work great, the controller is very reactive and has improved my gameplay very visibly, the only complaints ide have is every once in a while I’ll get a little stick drift on the left stick but I believe it’s by design and it’s only for a second or 2 and has never posed a problem, the other thing is the sticks are more difficult to click on then previous controllers I’ve had but it will just take getting used to or breaking in, I use these a lot because I play rainbow six. The grips on the side of the controller are super good along with being able to customize the Xbox button is a nice touch, the controller is very easy to remap as well. If your looking to get a high quality controller and you are looking at options I would recommend getting this one, the battery life last a very long time. If I have any problems with it in the future I’ll be sure to make some edits here but as of now everything has been golden. (I do have kontrol freaks on in the picture the sticks do not come looking like that) ## Frequently Bought Together - Microsoft Elite Series 2 Controller - Starter Bundle - KontrolFreek FPS Freek Galaxy Black for Xbox One and Xbox Series X Controller | 2 Performance Thumbsticks | 1 High-Rise, 1 Mid-Rise | Black (Limited Edition) - SCUF Elite Series 2 Paddles for Xbox Elite Series 1 & 2 - Xbox --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/172552378-microsoft-elite-series-2-controller-starter-bundle](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/172552378-microsoft-elite-series-2-controller-starter-bundle) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
