Customer Ratings & Reviews

Fantastic controller! A little bit heavier than the original xbox controller, but got used to it quickly. Additional buttons can be easily changed on the xbox controller settings. Would recommend 100/10.

This Controller enhanced my Halo game playing experience.

Great build quality and excellent battery life. I'm also thankful that you can easily remove the hair triggers from underneath as I have a tendency to accidentally hit them when playing. Comes with a nice little docking station too for charging. I feel they should release another version without the stand, hair triggers, extra sticks/D-pad, and case and it would drop the price significantly. The difference between this and the regular Xbox controller is so significant it seems there should be a product in the middle. In any case, this is simply the best PC gamepad you can buy right now however it DOES NOT come with the USB wireless adapter so you have to purchase that separately. I already had one so it wasn't a big deal for me but I can expect some people to be very upset when they pay that amount of money and then can't use it wirelessly on their PC.

Controller is extremely nice. Build quality is great, it is extremely responsive and offers an extreme level of customization. You can add back buttons for increased ease of use, but you can also remap every other button, and save the layouts into three different presets. It is expensive, but would be great to look into if you find yourself wanting more from your gaming experience. Caution to those who are buying “open-box.” Mine was considered “Excellent” but was heavily worn and smelled funny; it was returned promptly

Absolutely amazing controller! The weight and control of this controller makes every input so smooth it is definitely worth the cost it will pay for itself!!

Ive been using this controller now for about a month. I love it and i also loved the first one. I got the Geek Squad Warranty on the first so i returned it for store credit and picked up this bad boy. First let me start off by saying that THANK GOD it has a internal battery build it. The first one didnt and they annoyed me, how are you gonna charge me over $100 for a controller and not have a battery pack. ANYWAYS, i like that the Ver 2 you can adjust the Tension on the sticks. I also like that the hair triggers, this is a game changer for FPS. The back panels on this ver are smaller than Ver1 (not much) and a different color. I enjoy mapping these to different buttons and i feel it gives me an edge when using them. That being said ...i got used to it and tried to use a regular controller it throws me off. Over all id say this is a buy if you have the extra money, you can probably get the same customizations with Scuff but i just prefer to get Xbox stuff. Also PLEASE get the geek squad Protection plan. The sticks started to go on my Ver1 and they gave me a brand new one no questions. I just had to purchase another geek squad plan for that one as well! Good Luck

Great controller love it especially on Black Ops 6

Recently had to rebuy this and an Series X after house burned last month. Love the elite controller, a true game changer

This is the best controller I've used I still think the xbox 360 has a better feel though cause I can put both index and middle finger on both hands on the bumper and trigger comfortably not worth the elite 2 I use both on my right hand and only my index on the left besides that the adjustable sticks is amazing I bought it new and I'm not experiencing any issues with it like stick drift so that might be the used but I think you can remove stick drift on the Microsoft accessories app I use it for mobile gamelan latency is low so it's real responsive bumper paddles work great as well.

I’m giving this controller 5 stars based off of the actual controller and feel of it. I’ve been using this controller for about 4-5 years now and it is my favorite controller of all time. With that being said I highly suggest the geek squad warranty because I am very clean and careful with my controllers and I haven’t had one last more than a year. The buttons become sticky or stop working and stick drift is going to happen at some point no matter what. I love the controller, but the longevity is not what it should be for $200

took a while to get used to but controls are awesome

this item was just fine but the top buttons were sticky

Build quality is amazing. It comes in a nice carrying case that has a cutout in the back to allow you to charge it while it’s in the case. Took a little getting used to the back triggers but once you do it’s a game changer. I primarily use mine for cod. Not having to take my thumb off the stick to jump or crouch has improved my gameplay by a mile.

Its a pretty great controller. I love the back paddles and they remind me of the steam decks. The thumb sticks are also extremely smooth. These two things together i find myself fidgeting with the controller when watching youtube or otherthings on my PC. I got it to play games on my pc that use controller better than mouse and keyboard like fallen order, lego starwars or elden ring. The software you can download for it also lets you make profiles for it on PC and lets you change the color of the XBOX logo.

I cant stress how amazing this controller is. Ive owned Xbox since the OG and after getting a PS5, the Dualshock 5 was so good it left me wanting more on xbox. Boy did this controller deliver... The Quality is unmatched, from the rubberized grips to the metal swappable dpad and not to mention the suuuper satisfying magnet when you click in new Thumbsticks of all lengths, sizes, and feeling. The ability to press ABXY without lifting off the thumbstick(and adjust the resistance of said thumbsticks) is an absolute gamechanger(or any other button with the Mappable Paddles). It doesn't end there, i love the hair triggers on this controller. You have the full pull, like a standard controller, or a medium setting and my personal favorite, just a little tap. The piece de resistance is the case it comes with THAT HAS A BUILT IN DOCK AND W/ USB C PLUG BEHIND THE CASE. For those wondering if the money is worth it, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED

I have mixed reviews with this though overall positive. From a gaming standpoint: fantastic controller. It feels great to use, really good grip, I love the paddles on the back and the customization. I like that you get extras to make it more customized and things can be easily swapped out. I have an issue with the quality control. I had to return my first one because I got stick drift. My second one also has a very slight stick drift. It doesn’t bother me much so I might keep this one vs swapping it out again. The first one never had issues pairing Bluetooth once turned on. The second one tends to not always connect and I have to re-pair through Bluetooth, a little inconvenient. For the price, I would expect it to be perfect.

After playing with standard controllers all my life, I thought it was time to splurge for a high quality controller, and I was not disappointed. This controller just feels so solid and well constructed. Adjusting and swapping out buttons is a breeze and the charging dock eliminates having to constantly worry about batteries. Everything fits perfectly in the case for easy transport and protection. There is extensive custization with the button mapping and different colors for the home button. It does cost a lot more than standard controllers, but it is well worth the higher price point for dedicated solo gamers.

Love this controller and for me it was totally worth the extra money. (vs the standard xbox controller.) Before, I was going through xbox controllers every 9 months or so. (I replace them once a button starts to fail) For me, this controller has lasted over 2.5 years. I did start to get cosmetic damages (glued-on grips were starting to come apart) and battery charging problems started about 18 to 20 months in- but before I would be on my 3rd or 4th controller in that same time frame! button re-mapping is awesome! and the bottom triggers changed the way I play (but it did take some time to get used to) I used to have a problem with hitting the thumb stick buttons on accident and moving the shoulder buttons to the bottom made things faster and easier. The controller is pretty much done now, but its still doing its job (it needs to be tethered for power and the grips need to be replaced) I hope it holds out till version 2 comes out.

Purchased as an open box and couldn't be more satuafied. The controller feels very nice and the little travel case it comes with is also high quality. I use it mostly for my computer but sometimes take it with me to a friends house to use with their xbox.

I was hesitant about the price of this controller, but I am so, so, so glad I went through with buying it. I suffer from hand and thumb issues, and wanted to try a different controller. This Elite Series 2 was recommended by almost every site I researched, and by multiple arthritis forums. My other option was to cut down on my Xbox play time, but right now it helps keep my hands and mind busy during my layoff from work due to quarantine. The features that I (and my hands!) appreciate the most are the extra paddles on the back, and the ability to customize the tension on the joysticks. That was a lifesaver for my poor hands! I prefer the tension to be on the tightest setting so my thumb joints don't have to stretch so far to manipulate the joysticks. I also further adjusted their tension in the controller customization in the Xbox Accessories app on my xbox. It is only day 2 that I have had it, and it's gotten a few hours of use, and I absolutely love how accessible and customizable it is. It is a bit on the heavy side, but it is the only mark against it in my book.
