Geek Squad® Certified Refurbished products are thoroughly, painstakingly and lovingly tested, so you can be sure that your device will work right, right away. Learn more about We set out to create a performance-class controller to meet the needs of today's competitive gamers. Designed in collaboration with pro-level players, the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller unlocks your full potential and adapts to your unique style of play. Experience game-changing accuracy, faster speed, and a tailored feel unlike anything before.
Improve your performance and fit:
Swap between a variety of metal thumbsticks and D-pads for personalized control and ergonomics.
Discover configurations that can improve accuracy, speed, and reach with thumbsticks of different shapes and sizes. The Xbox Elite controller adapts to your hand size and play style.
You'll experience better control whether you play FPS, racing, fighting, or other genres.
The new, faceted D-pad enables easier and more reliable combo execution, while the traditional D-pad provides precise control to change weapons or call in a strike.
Control, combinations, and confidence:
The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller has four slots for interchangeable paddles.
Easily attach and remove them without any tools. Choose to attach some or all of the paddles, and configure the controller to what's best for you.
The paddles give your fingers more control, so you can execute devastating moves and experience more efficient control.
Now you don't have to take your thumbs off the thumbstick to execute intricate jump, aim, and shoot combinations. With the app*, you can assign a wide range of inputs to each paddle.
Fire faster with Hair Trigger Locks:
With the flip of the Hair Trigger Locks, you can fire more quickly and save valuable time with each trigger pull.
Hair Trigger Locks stop the trigger movement after the shot and get you ready for the next one. Simply flip the switch again to get back to full-range trigger motion.
Each trigger has its own Hair Trigger Lock for independent control. Within the app, you can further fine-tune trigger settings.
Infinite freedom and flexibility:
Customize your experience even further with an easy-to-use app*. Adjust trigger min/max values, thumbstick sensitivities, button assignments, and more, so the controls are exactly the way you want them.
Assign any of 14 inputs to the ABXY buttons, paddles, D-pad, triggers, and thumbstick clicks.
Create as many controller profiles as you like in the app and have tailored settings for any game. Load two profiles on the controller and instantly change between them with the built-in Profile Switch. The possibilities are virtually limitless.
This is what performance feels like:
Every surface and detail is designed to meet the rigorous demands of competitive gamers.
Stainless steel thumbstick shafts, D-pads, and paddles are built to last. Low-friction, reinforced rings around each thumbstick minimize wear and provide buttery-smooth action.
Rubberized diamond grip gives the controller a more substantial feel while providing more stability. The enhanced grip also allows you to hold the controller with less effort, so you can play longer and more comfortably.
The soft-touch finish on the top case provides a luxurious feel and nonslip control.
Be ready for anything, anywhere:
Each profile you create in the app* is stored in the cloud, and 2 profiles can be saved onto the controller itself. So no matter where you game, your profiles can always be with you.
The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller comes with a carrying case and variety of interchangeable components.
*App available on Xbox One and Windows 10

- A: AnswerI myself just went through this. The warranty will cover the cost of a refurbished replacement controller, no matter what you paid or the current cost. At that time, they did offer me the opportunity to purchase a "new" controller, but that would of cost me the differnece between the two items. Still not a bad deal overall.

The controllers are trash
I have already went through 2 of these because they just shut off. Each time I have tried to get them replaced Best Buy has treated me dirty and made me pay more money to get a replacement on something that I already paid to have a replacement for. I really one of these controllers to work longer than they have for the amount of money I have paid for them. I should have just bought the v2 but they were only giving me 100 so making me pay 125 extra for something that shouldve only costed 25 to upgrade.

For something they push and advertise so hard!
I recently went ahead and pre ordered the Xbox elite 2 controller. A couple days later I got an email saying the elite V1 refurbished was back in stock. I kept going back and forth wether or not I should switch my order. I finally did. I thought why not, let’s save some money. Geek squad states they go through the device practically with a fine tooth comb. I pay for the top shipping to get it soon as I was exited. Today comes and UPS is at my door. I open my package inside and the controllers box looks great. The case looks great. I finally pull the controller out and boom, rattling immediately occurs. I pray it’s just the removable joy sticks. It’s not, it’s the left joy stick. When pushing the button down, it doesn’t even make a noise or makes it feel like you pressed it down. Almost like it’s stuck. I can’t believe BestBuy or geek squad let a product like this leave. I knew I should have waited for the V2 but my dumb self couldn’t wait. This was to good to be true. I will say this and this is why it’s got two stars, BestBuy is working with me. Immediately calling them after I noticed the damaged controller, they sent me a prepaid label and set up a replacement to be received by next week Monday. It’s just terrible I paid for the next day shipping but the replacement comes 4 days later. Could have overnighted its tomorrow since it’s already 5 pm, having me receive it Saturday.

Great functionality, not so great for longevity
To be clear, the Xbox Elite controller is fantastic, so good in fact that it’s design/perks were copied by third party companies, even for other platforms. Here is where my issue begins: So I am not a serious or profession gamer but I play FPS shooters (COD mainly) probably 3-4 days a week. This is my THIRD controller within 2-3 years due to joysticks that start to move on their own. Nothing paranormal here, the sticks will eventually start to return to a default position slightly off center which can cause the character to move in game (my COD character kept gazing to the skies instead of focusing lol). I also have had an issue with bumper buttons getting stuck or unresponsive. I understand controllers get wear and tear but to dish out $150 annually is just not practical seeing how that is more than 1/3 the cost of the gaming system. Bottom line; this is a great controller for its added functionality but do yourself a favor and get a pre-owned one with an extended warranty and you’ll be fine :)
