Customer Ratings & Reviews

only reason is not 5 stars is the grip started to fall off 6months after purchasing. For the price i dont find this acceptable, but the upgrades this has over the first gen version it is much better over all and i daily drive this still to the day.

Best feel ever, wouldn’t swap it for anything! Amazing!

Initially I was pained at the thought of buying a controller for this price. However, once I opened the box it became apparent to me just why the price was high; this controller is bulletproof. Amazing quality of materials, very very comfortable, incredibly customizable. This controller will last you years and years easily. Only downside is that it is not currently compatible with iPad. I stream my PC to my iPad for gaming, and was disappointed as a result. Amazing controller though!

I bought the Elite because I was sick of bumpers/sticks etc. breaking on my standard Xbox controller. And for a while, these controllers performed well. They feel great, the weight is good, and the accessories/customization options are a plus. But the bumpers still don't last. Look, I'm not throwing my controller around, dropping it, or button mashing. But somehow, miraculously, Microsoft made the bumpers on the Elite controller just as poorly as the original controllers; they get mushy/break with regular, long-term use. Overall, it's a good controller. Just pay up and get the Best Buy warranty, because you'll probably need it.

Price is more than i’d like but to not have to replace one every year plus the charging dock i’m happy

Had to update out of the box otherwise pretty good

This is my favorite xbox controller ever. Will never by anything else.

Excellent quality. Would recommend this to xbox gamers.

I've been skeptical over the years in paying the hefty price for an elite controller, but finally jumped the gun when they announced the series 2... and I'm glad i did. This controller has great ergonomics and grip texture, along with a plethora of features and settings, including hair trigger settings, multiple sticks, mapping, 4 quadrant vibrating settings, e.t.c. well worth it if you are a competitive gamer. No problems with drifting so far. Love that you can adjust the tension of the sticks as well.. overall, a great product from Microsoft!

My nephew loves it, too early to tell if rage throwing it at the wall will destroy the controller.

Great feel in hand, responds well, needs to have external battery

If you need a top of the like controller this MIGHT be it. Its good sturdy, long battery, and feels good but it can tend to get stick drift not in the normal way but that the sticks work so well that the slightest touch and youll keep drifting when having your finger rest on it

Battery life is great! And the most comfortable controller I own. Love that you can change the sensitivity on the sticks and triggers. Haven’t had any drift issues in the year and many hours I’ve been using it.

Great controller. Easy to use and customize your favorite additions

Controller came with a variety of custom tools to change the sensitivity of buttons and analog sticks. There is a learning curve so you might want to try using the controller in different forms before setting into one kind of setting. Beware bc this product does tend to lemon out the most even though its a premium controller.

Good controller i got it for my brother for Christmas and he loves it

I have been using the original elite controller for years. However, like all video game controllers, it has lost its responsiveness. I was so excited to see that Microsoft was bringing out a new model and preordered it immediately. The new version has great grip and even has grip on the triggers. Also, the new version has three trigger lengths instead of only two that were on the original. My only complaint is that the controller only comes with one tall stick. If you want both sticks to be tall, you can purchase the Kontrol Freak stick extenders.

This controller is legit, i mean what else can i say besides LEGIT

Amazing!!!!!! Beat controller out there without a doubt

I really enjoyed this nice entry into the elite controller line up.
