Customer Ratings & Reviews

Best controller out there for competitive gamers. You have to buy the protection plan because your RB button will be having an input delay or even no input response at all. So if you're okay with replacing the controller so often then this is for you.

As an owner of the first Elite, this one is better so far, in every way. I do however, prefer the old way of swapping batteries, vs the built in battery in the long run, fearing not being able to change batteries. Other than that, it's excellent. I have so far, had none of the issues mentioned in other reviews. Excellent controller!

Love the dimming of the home button. Really long lasting battery. But the A X B and Y button felt unresponsive. I was soft to push them as I'm not trying to damage the buttons. I had to press unusually hard to get the buttons to work. But definitely heart breaking when your dogs get to it. :'(

I bought this controller for my boyfriend and he loves it! The only downside to it that he wishes was different is that the controller can be chargeable and battery operated.

The Series 2 improved on the controller from the first one as well as add a 40hr battery and can play 2 and a half days before needing a charge

best controller i've ever had. Removeable back paddles are great and overall feel and weight of controller in your hand also feels great.

This controller is amazing! I was very skeptical about spending so much money on a controller but it was well worth the money! Smooth, programmable, and works flawlessly i would recommend to anyone.

I'm not sure if the price is worth it - but that is subjective. It's a great controller. Feels good in the hand - feels substantial. Many options to customize the feel. Battery life is great. I use with with my Windows PC without any major issues. Sometimes it disconnects but then reconnects really quickly.

Elite series 2 is the best controller I've ever owned, and getting the protection plan from Best Buy (I have total tech now, so it's included in every purchase at no extra cost) was a no brainer!

Unless you have an unlimited budget to throw at repairs, extended, warranties, and replacements you should not buy this controller. When you get it, everything is wonderful. It’s hefty, customizable, and has features that are almost impossible to do without after you’ve experienced them. Then, the Y button stops working after a couple of weeks, so you return it. You get a new one that works better - for two months. Then your A button doesn’t register all presses. Luckily you have your warranty, so you now are on your third one (but out an extra 40 for a new EW because you can’t trust the build quality). Things are ok for the best six months. The A button doesn’t always register soft presses, but you learn to live with it. Then the left bumper stops working. You check with MS but you are now a month out of warranty so they want to charge you 100 dollars to fix. Luck you, you have the EW from BB, and if you want another you can pay even more! Now the controller that was a luxury at 180 will bring you to 300! And there is no guarantee the next one, or the next one, or the next one will last. It’s pathetic how little support MS offers for such an expensive and supposedly high quality accessory. Just pass, because once you used paddles with Forza there is no turning away from this dumpster fire.

Easy replacement plan. Good controller. Just the grips started coming apart after almost 2 years of use. Plus the right bumper was worn out.

It is the best controller that you can own for the Xbox. Period. It doesn't come with all the components of the Elite, but you can purchase those add-ons.

Worth the investment. For what comes out to the price of about 2 other controllers, it's a solid purchase.

Can't say enough about this controller, it's just awesome! I'm normally a PS guy, however bought a Series X and this controller is the only controller someone should use. It changed the way I game 100%. If you're concerned about the price, don't be it is worth it.

Great controller to have . Hadn’t had any problems with it .

I had the first Elite Controller and was excited to find out the second version was released. I love the weight on the remote and how the grips feel. The extra triggers have a good click to them and the USB C charging case is awesome! I would definitely recommend this even for just regular casual gamers and pros.

The best controller for Xbox hands down. The ease of use and modularity are amazing and things that I didn’t know I needed. I won’t be going back to a regular controller anytime soon.

Great controller i won't play without mine the extra buttons on the back make it a great controthat is easy to set up and use.

Only controller my fiancé will buy, so of course I always wait till a new color comes out and add it to the collection lol

This is a really nice controller, however you should definitely get this new with the warranty. I got one used, but after reading about some complaints of issues after a few months I decided to get a new one instead. It really helps, but takes getting used to.
