Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great controller and a must have for hardcore gamers. The battery life is excellent and it is very durable. It is a little heavier than a standard controller.

Premium feel. A bit on the heavier side with the build in battery. Love the removeable paddles and interchangeable thumbsticks.

Love the color and holds up very well. Would buy again.

The quality of this controller is like nothing I've owned before in console gaming. Very sturdy, great options and ample customization

Heavier than a standard controller but nice to hold. Paddles are a good option for certain fast-paced games.

Great controller feels well made and durable. Would recommend

I hate giving this a 3 but its only because i had 2 of these in 1 year. I bought one the stick locked up , easily exchanged it because of warranty and the new one locked up in less then a week. Now the plus is its easy to set up and it has multiple sticks that work well with my thumbs. But for being the Xbox brand, im disappointed

Smooth joy sticks with no walking. Holds a charge and is comfortable to hold.

The controller is very light weight, well-built and love the grap but attracts a lot of dirty due to the white part

Love them, however their grips do come off after a year or 2 if you play heavy

Great controller, they are just really pricey for what you get

Definitely a step above the standard Xbox controller. I use on the PC and connecting is simple and battery life lasts me several play sessions.

Like the customization and battery life very durable, controller as well 

Great purchase! I love this controller, I’ve owned many Xbox, (one and more than a few) Xbox Series x controllers and this is my favorite. I had the first elite controller years ago and I love how customizable it is and just has great responsiveness to it. The open box was a great buy and great condition. I can’t wait to see if I can find a monitor now!

Awesome, makes gaming so much easier especially for shooter games, and sports games

Great controller! Never had a problem. Before this one i went through 3 normal controllers

love controller if you thinking of buying buy worth the buy especially if in need of a controller

While I love how clean this looks in the white color, I love the feel of this second generation. I didn’t necessarily need the paddles in the back and I already had a charging solution so I didn’t mind just getting the core version.

This thing has some heft to it, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying hours of play. Easily the best Xbox controller available, and that is considering the Scuf Gaming and Battle Beaver options. I love the build quality and the ease of use with the trigger stops and paddles. I can swap in and swap out paddles, the directional pad, thumbsticks, and macro's quickly and easily thanks to the clever design of the whole controller. I also like that I can adjust the thumbstick tension. The carrying case with the ability to use a charging pad from within is a nice touch.

I picked up this elite controller after a flood of recommendations from so many sources. I thought it would allow for some macros and other useful things through the use of the paddles but that didn't pan out. I really want to love this thing but it's hard to. The default vibration sounds like it's trying to saw itself in half. But props to them for allowing you to turn that down in the accessories app. You can make some fine tuning to your dead zones and joystick curves there as well. If you drop this controller, you'll get to pretend it's a Mr. Potato head and go hunting for the joysticks and the D pad insert. The levers on the back, as cool as they look, are useless at best and intrusive at their worst. They'd be useful if you could use them to macro together a combination of key presses or if they were a unique button recognized by game developers. But the only control you have over these things is what button to you want it to mimic. Or, realistically, what buttons do you want to accidentally press all the time? The handle grips are great and the triggers are nice as well. I like that the controller came with both a charging dock and a usb-c port. Battery life is good so far. Having the option to pick thumb sticks is a cool feature and one of the few unique aspects I think is actually useful. Being able to pick what Dpad you like is neat, but in a perfect world unless you're playing retro titles or fighting games I think it's of limited use. Unless new functionality gets added for the elite, I personally don't think it's worth it's asking price. I wouldn't buy it again. The elite is no where near 3x as nice as a standard controller but it's certainly 3x the price. If these were half the price, they'd be great.
