Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my go to controller the way i can configure my buttons for the back buttons allows me to play however i feel comfortable.

I purchased this controller while it was on sale, which, sadly to say would be the only time I'd buy one. Within two months of owning it, the left analog stick developed drift, essentially overnight. It became so bad that I couldn't set the controller down without a character walking in a random direction, or a movie/show skipping forward. I store the controller in it's case, and cleaned it regularly. I had to have this controller replaced five times within it's 1-year warranty from MS and each one failed in almost the exact same way. There are other instances where buttons don't register and/or take multiple presses to execute the action on screen, or to pause a movie. Cons aside, the controller does have a few pros(weight, paddles, overall feel/comfort) but honestly none of these outweigh the cost and very clear QC issues that plague these controllers, buy at your own risk.

Controller is very nice to use and you wont want to go back to a normal xbox controller after but wear and tear can hit it pretty hard. Bumpers fail often, stick drift is decently frequent, and I've even had an A button stop working. Protection plan is almost a must, but it has been one of my favorite controllers.

This is a best controller. Easy to set up and use. Has vibration and does not stick like others cheaper controllers.

My wife bought this for me, along with several other peripheral items, and my new X Box X series, for Christmas 2025. It's been amazing! The sensitivity and ease of use is great. I most definitely would recommend and/or repurchase this controller/brand again!

Very happy with this purchase. The quality is solid, it works exactly as described, and it’s been easy to use right out of the box. Everything feels well-made and dependable, and it’s clearly designed with real users in mind. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a reliable option, and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from this brand again.

This is my 2nd Elite Series Xbox controller. Size, feel, quality is top notch. The paddles are very comfortable and the controller comes with additional paddle and button options for personal preferences. It is easy to connect to the console and the charging station is fantastic. Nothing bad to say about this controller. Highly recommend.

Good for change custom color plus long lasting batterry

I’ve been using the elite 1 controller since release and must say the elite 2 has some improvements that caught my eyes, the joystick can finally be adjusted and they no longer bouncing back and forth like the elite 1.

Problems: buttons (LB AND RB) start to work less over time, causing presses to not register. Some minor issues with the rubberized material peeling at the seem after a while. Too expensive to be having this problem at $180 pros: great controller with amazing customization. love the paddles too. it is great to hold and aiming with them is pretty much a breeze. I also love the adjustable triggers, and the case it comes with that can charge the thing.

These are easy to sync to the Xbox. Also, the controllers can be modified for sensativity, which helps my son in game controlling. The magnetic pieces are great because it makes the look of the controller customizable. Highly recommended!

Great controller! But when that stick drift happens it’s a wrap. Worth getting the geek squad insurance so you walk in and out with a new controller without any fuss.

While it may be a little rough on the back end, the Elite controller does hold up pretty well. Has a nice grip on them and you can even adjust the the left and right triggers to where you won’t go overboard on them.

Very comfortable you’re able to adjust a different settings and the Xbox light change color to I set it too I love it.

Like my son play all the have times and say mom go to the Best Buy because this store have guarantee to the all customer.

Best controller on the market, period. I use this for almost all my gaming on my Alienware R16 and the build quality is night and day compared to a standard controller. The adjustable-tension sticks and paddles make a huge difference in feel and precision. If you’re serious about gaming on a PC or console, it’s worth every penny.

Great controller, has proven to be more durable than the original elite 2 while being slightly lighter in weight. Ive used elite 2 controllers for about 3 years and the bumpers always fail withing the first year or shortly after and this elite core has been running the longest, so in comparison i definitely would put the core on top, and you can get cool colors.

Love the Xbox elite controller. They last years. Second one I've bought. The first one I had lasted about 3-4 years traditional controllers are dead within a year.

When I first saw the price on this controller, I said in my head no Controller was worth this money, but sure enough when I opened up the box and finally used this thing I was like omg , and the settings that you can do, I refused to use any other controller now

This is a great deal if you already have the paddles for the back! Very satisfied to not have to buy a whole new setup when im just in need of the core controller!
