Customer Ratings & Reviews

The controller weight feels amazing, the battery life is plentiful, and the finish is great. Been using non-stop and had zero issues. Its a wonderful replacement to the first elite which i still have and have been using for years. No complaints.

The controller is good quality, would like the LB and RB buttons to be more durable, but that is not Best Buy's issue.

Controller works fine. Im just not inlove with paddles on the controller feels odd.

Premium feel with highly customizable options, to make the controller feel right. recommended to Pc users.

Have one of these controllers at home, so decided to pick one up for my travel laptop. Woks great!!

Great quality and durability. Built solidly and love the customizations that this controller allows.

Great for gamers. Lot’s of bells and whistles, but not for the average Joe. Takes a little time to get use to all the extra buttons. It’s very sensitive and quick.

Once you use an Elite controller, its a totally different experience. I have bought numerous controllers over the years and I can tell you that the difference is clear with the Elite Series. Love the color options now (This is my second controller)

Very good controller; long playtime without needing to charge. I was really surprised by that, in a good way.

I have bought these controllers mutiple times and i will say there is a bitter sweet relationship with them. They allow for an overall better gaming performance for sure but much like all other controllers stick drift is a major issue after awhile, and if you can fix it then it can last for a few years, but eventually the wear starts to become apparent like with all other things.

The greatest controller ever, feels quality in the hand. Response time is quicker but not really worth the premium price. The old version was only 150 and felt better. This one is a bit smaller

Best controller I’ve ever used before, super comfortable and love having 4 paddles

Really good grips and i love the paddles. Some buttons feel a little sluggish sometimes.

Compared to the original Elite controller this one is by far an amazing upgrade. Having the ability to adjust the tension on the thumbsticks is great for dialing in the accuracy for FPS games, the extra middle trigger stop is awesome if you're not wanting to go all the way to the short stop for other games as well, and the adjusted paddles on the back are much better without having to worry about accidentally hitting them while playing. The built in rechargeable battery is a step above the play and charge kit battery. I have definitely noticed a significant increase in play time before needing to charge it. If you're on the fence whether to keep your original Elite over this one then you're missing out. The Elite 2 is definitely worth the money for the upgrade.

SOLID elite controller. No stick drift or anything and havent charged it in weeks but use it all the time.

I'm not sure why everyone says this controller is so great. It's pretty nice and all, but worth the $180 I'm not so sure. It's comfortable, comes with interchangeable parts, 4 paddle buttons on the bottom, rechargeable, thumbsticks triggrts are adjustable, and control scheme profiles. To anyone reading this that has read other reviews of people talking about the thumbsticks feeling lose out of the box, they are adjustable. It comes with a tool that you can use to make them stiff or loose. It's actually pretty nice being able to adjust how much tension is required to move the stick. Can make fine point aim easier.

This is a great controller for those who want a little extra out of their current controller. The rubberized grip feels great, and the thumb sticks are responsive and feel much more durable than the regular Xbox controller ones. One thing I wish Microsoft would do is create more color schemes without keeping the back of the controller white, which sort of defeats the purpose of a darker color controller. (The included USB-C cable is great as well)

Son LOVES this controller. This one has weight behind it with metal used throughout. He loves have you can actually customize the controller changing button function and the flippers.

Long lasting between charging. Good quality, would purchase again

Eh - i’ve had this controller and also the original elite series 2 multiple times, qualities not what you would really expect. Still very good very well built but not in destructive. This just says that, I have actually found original Xbox controllers that come with their system are more adorable, and last longer than these $120 or $200 controllers
