Customer Ratings & Reviews

Such a great improvement over the last version. Fast button reaction time.

Yes, this is a great controller, but it still has insidious defects. Purchased in July of 2020, and now 5 months in, the left joystick drifts constantly. After further research I discovered that Microsoft has begun manufacturing a “improved” version of the same controller (model FST-00008) versus the FST-00001 version. The model I received is the latter. Most people who have purchased this seem to be experiencing the same issues. I have the Best Buy protection plan, and intend on replacing this controller when Best Buy gets it back into stock, and am hoping for the newer version.

Looked up the reviews and found this has the highest rating and the price. It is really worth it. On top of good control on use it does look speical as well! Strongly recommends it.

Great controller, great specs, great battery life, works very well for fps games.

Best purchase yet , makes gaming so much easier. The keys are smooth and flawless and help keep an edge on combat gaming

I want to love this controller but can’t. I had to sell it. I had issues with 2 controllers so far. Never had any issues with gen 1. Gen 2 issues: - Random disconnects - Double press on buttons I would still recommend it since it’s a great upgrade form the original controller

Good controller but no back paddles. Not nice. Everything else good

i have a team of expert reviewers (my three grandsons) who put this controller through an rigorous testing regime over the last few weeks. They all three said that it was great. The fact that it stood up to their nonstop and sometimes energetic playing means that it is durable as well as great.

The Elite series 1 was great... and then this one came out and is so much better. I'll never go back to a regular xbox controller. Even the Xbox light is customizable to any color. The charging dock is awesome too!

My brother in law loves it, but it didn’t come with the customizable back bumpers like the black one. Be aware of that, as you have to buy them separately

Love this control for everything it offers like premium quality and feel.

Remote toggles are really durable butthe buttons are not get stuck really easy after a short use. Overall still satisfied

Extremely happy with this controller, gave 4 stars instead of 5 simply because of how different the paddles were from the first elite controller. It took some time to get used to after using the original elite controller for years. Definitely worth the upgrade to the series 2.

Great controller that is responsive and feels like a high quality product. I've tried other brands of controllers with paddle buttons, and preferred this one. It is more expensive than I would like, but it is noticeably better than the stock controllers.

Great upgrade from the standard controller. If you play alot of video games it’s worth the price. Definitely purchase the extended warranty though if your paying for a premium controller. Controllers go through a lot of wear and tear so the warranty is a must.

I understood why people love this control the instant I put it in my hand. It feels premium. After playing with it for two weeks, it began to feel natural; my hand was adapting to the new trigger buttons. Unfortunately, the right trigger began to give-way and the spring was making a squeaking sound. The standard face buttons also didn’t register every time I press them. I returned it. Thankfully it was within the return period. I now also understand the issues of this controller. The manufacturing for these controllers isn’t consistent. I purchased a new controller that arrived today and i hi opefully I can leave a better review in the coming weeks and months.

At first I was skeptical of a 200 dollar controller. After been using it for three months now it feels fantastic much better than any other controller than I have ever used. It has a good weight to it and feels high quality. Definitely worth the 200 in my opinion, so just buy it already you know you need a new one.

love the controller had the original elite. The improvements are very welcome. Have the add ones like bluetooth, adjustable analog tension ,.rechargeable battery , amd the paddles feeling better then the original. The only issue I have with the controller is the price tag.

I have bought three of these and they work great for a while, but then they start to have stick drift.

Phenomenal product. Batterie life is outstanding and the overall feel and quality is top notch.
