Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great for a year then stick drift. Always a constant issues with Xbox controllers tho. New one bought the warranty to replace easier.

I going to go ahead & give this item a good review, this is my second one. First one was great & then out of no where the right bumper started double clicking, I dealt with it for a little, however at $180 for a controller, it better be flawless & I didn’t have it but for like 2 weeks & it’s malfunctioning. I looked up online & that’s where I found my issue & others. I returned it to Best Buy & as normal they exchanged it for me with no fuss. So far the new one is working correctly, seems the face buttons need to be pressed with conviction, however the entire controller works, the craftsmanship & functionality is great & this could be the greatest product ever, if Microsoft can just fix the software & hardware issues. It’s crazy how all over the place the quality control is. If this controller goes south, I will be looking to get a refund & just buy a good battery charger & battery setup for my plain jane Xbox controller & call it a day, that controller still works great

It has been solid but I already have some stick drift.

I've had the original elite controller for 5 years. Love it. Got used to the paddles makes playing the game so much easier, since you can map buttons to the back paddles. Main differences Paddles on the series 2 are SMALLER. Its not a bad thing. Paddles are more like buttons (more clicky than the Original). Which I love. It has bluetooth which is great since you can now connect to phones or tablets to you Xboxs knew streaming service XCloud. The original had just grips on the back of the handles now know grips cover the whole handle (front and back) the series 2 also has little grips on the bumpers and triggers. Is now rechargable, rather than AA batteries. You can know have 3 preset custom control options rather than 2. I don't miss anything on the original and the elite series 2 is my new favorite. I can't go back to the old paddles. It's well worth the purchase and I recommend getting the device protection on it so if something DID go bad u can easily replace. Even if you don't use the paddles the controller is overall substantially better quality than that of a standard $60 controller. As long as you don't throw it and you treat it nicely.

Great controller. This version is supposed to have fixed the stick drift issue as well. So far, no problems with it and it works great. The only thing is it doesn’t come with all of the accessories.

Love how it feels in my hands. Build quality could be a little better this is my second one after a couple of years, my right bumper only would work if pressing on a certain part of the bumper and the grip started to pull up a little bit. Other complaint is the software required to map buttons and update your controller on PC forced me to upgrade to Windows 11, not a huge deal but you know that’s just another lame tactic on Windows’s part.

Recharge with usb-c was one thing i wanted from a first party xbox controller and finally there is one. Best controller

This is hands down the best controller ive ever held/used. It beats out anything playstation, nintnedo, even third parties have to offer. Rubberized grip around the fronts and back so your hands will never slip, customizable back paddles for FPS/Racing games is a must, three different profiles that can be saved for stick sensitivity and more. Also really bice that it comes with an extremely durable case that has a hard shell on the outside with a magnetic charging stand and awappable sticks on the inside. I also bought the warranty just in case but i take care of my stuff so we’ll see if i end up needing to replace them. So far so good.

While every controller eventually wears out the thumbsticks, this is by far the best controller ive ever used considering ive been playing on xbox since 2001 and ive even competed before where i would wear out thumbsticks every 3 months. This controller is for sure the best feeling controller and the thumbsticks lasted over a year on the first one i had. Not to mention all the features of thumbstick tension control, button customization, and trigger travel. I cant say enough good things about this controller. I only hope they continue to improve the durability of the thumbsticks even further.

This is easily the best controller for XBOX or PC gaming as far as customization and control of button mapping down to how the stick respond. I have been using these over the after market ones since the first generation. There is a little "adjustment" period coming from the first generation but once you feel out what you want it makes it super easy to fine tune your settings. Want to try a new confing make a new one from your roiginal have have the security to switch back if you don't like it with the multiple configs. Map a few games and load them in and out with the tools. The newer shift feature is awesome to map multiple buttons to the same set. There is the issue with stick drift after the manufacturer's warranty but the tech support or best buy protection makes it well worth the cost. Buying this full price with the protection plan is still cheaper than an after market that only has a 30 day warranty.

Perfect for precision gaming for games such as Call of duty and other shooter genres. This was purchase to replace my original Elite that lasted me 5 years.

I like these controllers alot because the battery last forever and the build quality is strong, but the best part is the customizable functions that makes Elite. Having this control much control can give you an advantage during certain games.

Great controller and really well made. Nothing wrong with it besides it being a bit pricey for a few extra buttons.

Out of the "High end" controllers, this one ranks best for functionality and ease of use. The extra bits for the button re-mapping and trigger stops, along with the joystick tensioner make a difference in game

You dont know what youre missing until you start playing with this controller. The paddles are a huge help for FPS games. The carry case, attachments, and charging docks are amazing add ons. The controller feels SO good and sturdy. The grips are amazing and great for holding on especially if you have sweaty hands.

I love this controller and the options it gives to game!

This is a great alternate purchase over the elite controller. Same functionality as the elite , minus the paddles. To be honest , i barely use the back paddles and charges just the same as any other xbox controller.

I had the first elite controller and it finally went out after 5+ years. This is perfect as I already had the paddles so this was a great value. Love this controller and would recommend to anyone.

My old elite series 1 broke so I decided to upgrade and I'm pretty happy with it

Good controller, paddles can be swapped out by the scuff ones and are pretty useful. For the price compared to others not a bad buy.
