Customer Ratings & Reviews

This version developed serious stick drift within a year. The all black version has never had that bad of an issue.

Having the paddles on the back does take a little getting used to, I’ve accidentally pressed them a few times. Mapping the extra paddles and learning how to use the profiles does take a little bit of patience, but works great once you get the hang of it.

Adaptive and fun controller. It is not recommended for the novice or occasional player. After about a month of play, one of the sticks malfunction and began exhibiting phantom momements. Eventually exchanged it under the total care plan for a replacement. Fingers Crossed!

Completely changes how you game. I primarily use it for FPS, and with the heightened thumbsticks your aim can increase substantially. The paddles give you the ability to never remove your thumb from the joystick, which is mainly why I got this one, and is a huge plus. The ability to customize trigger sensitivity and stop position also helps a lot. The overall build is very well constructed. No issues structurally what so ever. I highly recommend this controller if you want to give yourself a little extra edge in your gameplay.

This controller is great. Just the feel of it is beyond words. The buttons are smooth and the paddles on the back are actually indescribable. The motion feels so smooth and the D Pad is perfect. The D Pad is why I bought this remote. I play Mortal Kombat and it’s so much smoother.

Very comfortable and very nice design. Only down side is that it doesn’t come with the paddles

I've been using this controller for almost a year now and I love it. I think this is the best controller you can buy right now. You can remap the buttons, adjust the sensitivity of each joystick, make 3 presets of customization for different games. The joysticks themselves can be swapped out for different shaped ones that come with it. I have gotten so used to the the paddles on the back that I can't go back to a normal controller.

The controller feels so nice to play on especially with the grips on the controller and its clean design. I don’t have to worry about battery life as much because charging Is such a breeze and it’s lasts for a long while.

Really good controller , elite series controllers have always been awesome!

This is my fourth Microsoft Elite controller I have owned. All have been purchased from Best Buy. I always purchase the extended warranty because they always seem to develop hardware issues. The controller itself has an excellent feel and performs well. Unfortunately for me, they seem to have a fully functional life of about one year before needing replacement. Its very disappointing for a high quality item like this to have continuing issues!

Worth the extra money— good build quality— would purchase again

I was a bit hesitant to buy this, especially because of the pricing. Wasn’t sure if the price was gonna make it up or feel any different than any regular controller I used but I was so wrong. You can feel a difference in a quality controller. I love the case it comes with and the customization is great. Need to play a few hours with it to change it to your settings. Charging battery is a lot better as well and the pads make it easier to play more competitive if that’s what you want.

Good product for what you pay for. I would just recommend getting warranty though because it’s just a matter of time when the controller will have some sort of malfunction mechanic going on. But overall it’s a good controller.

Great value compared to the full version. Works and feels great!!

Excellent controller love the color white, glad it came out white version

Wonderful controller. Love it. Best thing ever. Wow.

Works great, but have a little trouble with it coasting to the left. Other then that great.

Its been a month and Ive def noticed some wear and tear but over all its functional still. Id give it 5 stars cause its such a good controller but for 200 dollars id expect it to be a bit more durable so ill give it 4.

Love this controller! Very comfy, slick, great grip!

Love it works great. Charges fast lasts forever. Will buy again.
