Customer Ratings & Reviews

the paddles in the back make this controller superior to the standard xbox controller. the black and silver looks sleek. my only complaint is the r2 and L2 buttons stop working after a while and the controller needs to be replaced after a year. (I will still probably keep getting this controller unless something more durable comes out)

I have the original Elite controller and I LOVE it but I gave it to my wife when she started playing Xbox more. I got this one and somehow love it even more! - The paddles are a little smaller, which helps if you have big meat hooks for hands like I do. - There's no more nasty green under the swappable parts so you get a really blacked out look - The swappable profiles are AMAZING if you play different styles of games. I currently have Assassin's Creed, first person and Skyrim profiles. - The hair triggers are now variable and help a lot with those split second reactions - It comes with a charging dock and you can even charge it while it's in the carrying case thanks to a small passthrough grommet. - The wrap around grips are MUCH nicer than the gen 1 elite controller. No more hand sweat buildup! I can't say enough nice things about this controller and it's worth every penny if you're a big gamer!

I originally had the original Elite controller, and upgraded to this one after I had multiple issues with the original. I did have my first unit eventually develop stick drift issues, so I took it in and was able to get a new one. So far, I have not had issues with the replacement after several months of daily use. I still wish we could map keyboard keys to the back paddles for things like Push to talk bindings in games. I've now become very attached to the option of swapping out the analog sticks for something is a better fit to my style.

COD player here. Instantly got better after using this controller. Back paddles are a game changer.

The grips feel way better and it feels like it’s just better made than the previous series. The battery life has been amazing. I’m a streamer and play a good amount but so far this controller has been nothing but great. I wish it came with 2 of the tall thumbsticks instead of 1 and the paddles on the back are smaller than the series one but luckily I just transferred the larger paddles over since I had the series one. Thumbsticks however are a different size attachment so you can’t transfer those over. Like I Said so far the controller seems like a big improvement but we’ll see how the durability holds up and I wish they gave us another large thumbsticks and the paddles were slightly bigger.

Finally decided to spend the money on a fancy controller. I paired this for my PC and works great. The controller feels high quality and feels great in your hands. Also like the different button options available to customize to your liking.

My husband, and both my brother In laws now have this controller and it has literally been a game changer. No more buying a new remote every couple of months, just buy the little pieces and your good

The best controller out there for X Box Series X & S consoles! Tons of customization for the controller. The added details and buttons make it comfortable for hours of gaming. The grip is superb, the interchangeable buttons are amazing. Never going back to the controllers that come with the console. Liked it so much I bought 2 for my setup (bedroom & living room Series X consoles). Also, I like the case and charging station that the Elite has, the ‘Core’ model doesn’t come with it.

love controller if you thinking of buying buy worth the buy especially if in need of a controller

Purchased for our Grandson for Christmas (Seemed to be in short supply at other stores). He really loves this controller because it has features that other did not. (Buttons, charging pack option, etc.). Hey, He's happy so we are happy.

It's awesome, but do yourself a favor & get some kind of extended warranty. Tends to wear out quickly. I've replaced a couple over the past 2 yrs.

This is the only controller I use. The weight feels nice in your hands while playing. However, I recommend getting the extended warranty on this. I had to send mine in for a replacement under warranty because the LB button was not responsive, which is a known issue. I received my replacement quickly, with no out-of-pocket costs, and the new one works perfectly. I also like that this controller can be used for other things, like adjusting the volume on my tv.

If you're an fps player, back paddles are sure to elevate your gameplay. The controller feels good in the hand, has good connection, and comes with more attachments than you'll need. Get two so one can be in the shop, because they have several known issues like bumper sensors dying and stick drift. Even with that, I still don't want to go back to regular controllers.

If you've used the Series 1 Elite Controller, you know all the benefits it has over the standard Xbox One controllers. The paddles will change the way you play shooters if you just take the little bit of time to get used to them. The Series 2 controller makes the paddles a bit more tactile and they have more of a click to them. The thumbsticks have 3 levels of tension adjustment to make them feel like a default Xbox One controller, an Xbox 360 controller, or something in between. The bumpers have been improved, and the new grips are built in a way to where they won't expand and fall off like the old version did. The Elite Series 1 controller was the best controller I ever used and my favorite to play with, but this controller has replaced the old version. I would definitely recommend this controller to anyone who enjoys playing competitive shooters and wants to take their game to the next level.

Hands down my go to controller. The quality isn't always the best, i definitely recommend the warranty. I'm on my third one. The first one began to get a non responsive right trigger, the second one was doing the same and stick drift. I'd swap the joysticks out for Gulli's. Regardless of the problems, the controller fits in my, larger than average, hands far better than any other I've tried.

This controller is worth it if you play FPS games. I love the fact the paddles help with not taking my thumbs off the controller. I will say if you do play a lot the quality built is around 3.5 to 4 stars. The longevity of this controller I feel is an open debate because I had to use my geek squad replacement plan a couple of times within a 4 year span. I do play about 10-20 hours a week. I don't know if anyone else has issues with sticky buttons (right/left bumper) or drifting joy sticks. I had both.

Great controller just love the adjustable triggers

The best controller on the market! I love everything from the very premium metal triggers, the rubber grips, and even down to the button presses. The controller offer an amazing feature called "shift key" which changes what the button functions can do. Using it to change my TV volume has been an absolute game changer! I can't recommend this controller enough to anybody who is looking to improve their gaming experience.

I have had the series 1 since it released years ago. For the price and time it felt like a good upgrade over standard controllers. I still have it but have since passed it down to my kids because the Series 2 is better. The build quality is better; the sticks are not as loose; the buttons are better and there are now 3 settings for the trigger pull. I appreciate the built in battery. The case also doubles as a charger so you can just set the remote in it and walk away. What I noticed immediately are less aggressive paddles compared to Series 1. The original paddles hung out too far for me and my fingers would bump them all the time. My only issue I have so far is connecting it via Bluetooth to my PC. I was able to finally get it linked, but it took too long and I have little faith regarding input lag. I have opted to use it wired to my PC.

Everything you need in one controller. Won’t purchase any other one.
