Customer Ratings & Reviews

Make sure you buy Best buy's $60 2-year warranty on this. You're going to be able to use it. I'm on my third one now. You have to buy a new warranty every time you trade it in for issues (stick drift on all of them. Right bumper stopped working on one of them. A button got so mushy you couldn't even feel when you were pressing it on two of them). But only having to pay the warranty cost after the initial purchase has been good. It's worth the $60/yr since I would have been wearing out a normal controller every year anyway. The Microsoft should really be ashamed of themselves for using plastic underneath of the joysticks on their elite controllers.

Love the Xbox controller and had to get an elite 2. Paddles are very customizable and it feels like what its worth. Only controller that can compete with the PS5 controller. Super comfortable. Only complaint is if your hands are cold or not sweaty it has a slippery grip. Aside from that, can't be beat. Def would get warranty cause there are lots of cases that have joy sticks drifting.

After burning through three elite controllers in as many years thanks to their rubberized grips coming undone, I’m hopeful this new design holds. There is a seam on the inside now, but the stress bubble portion of the outer grips is now solid. I do like the feel of the new triggers better, but my previous ones never gave out so I can only say it’s a minor improvement. Loved my old elites, so if the grips hold up now, I’m sure to love these. So far, really like them.

Absolutely one of the best controllers I've ever owned. The customizable paddles make for great gaming. And the fact i can set 3 different sets of settings means i don't have to keep changing it for different games.

Great controller! The added heft and the rubberized grips really make this a controller of choice for me. Lots of cool options like making the analog sticks tighter and hard to move. Only real issue I've had is battery life has been rather... short? Feels like I have to charge this quite often and I don't game for hours either.

I love how the controller feels but that's about it. Right out of the box the ABXY buttons will randomly double-input.

I was super skeptical, but it changed my gaming immediately. If you enjoy Halo, or any first person shooter, this controller will change the game for you. Can’t wait to see how it will impact my gameplay in other genres

This is the best Xbox controller out in my opinion

Good but there are better for cheaper. If you want a high end controller go for it but there are cheaper options that are just as good.

So far the best Xbox controller I’ve owned. I use it for PC gaming and console gaming. The connection is flawless and the buttons feel great. The controller has a weight to it, gives it a quality feel.

Overall the controller is quite good, albeit very expensive. The shorter paddles that require more pressure to activate is a huge much needed improvement. The 3 levels of trigger locks is nice as is the 3 different on controller profiles. As for the adjustments of the thumb stick stiffness, I don't think this is a feature most people will use and is more of a gimmick. The biggest issue for me is the grip material used on the controller. The grip material actually slippery. This is something that everyone complains about. I don't understand why Microsoft used a slipper material. If you can handle the slipperiness of the controller it is an excellent controller. For me the slippery grips is too much for a controller of this price and is why I will be returning the controller.

Control feels great in hand. Really enjoy using it.

Overall giving this controller a 5 star rating, since getting it, it has made playing many different games so much better and also to say that the feel and weight of the controller are amazing.

This one of the best controllers on the market. Well worth the price tag of $180 added with the Microsoft wireless adapter for $25. I recently got into gaming on the PC and was previously using a standard Xbox one controller. the difference between the standard and the elite is night and day. More advanced options, slightly heavier, comfortable grips, switchable parts, and a battery life that will last your for a couple of days on a full charge. No complaints yet.

I have never used any other controller other than the standard ones so I didn't know what to expect. I saw it on display and wanted it but it wasn't available at the time so I had to wait and order it and it was worth the wait. A little pricey but it's expected with how neat the controller is. I'm still getting used to the extra buttons. I also like the feeling of it and how my hands have a better grip of the controller.

My husband is an avid gamer and he really enjoys this controller. He says it is easier for him to use the buttons.

I like it and all of the attachments that you can get for the controller.

The slick design to fill in the interchangeable pad and analogs…

Fantastic! Have had for 18 months and it’s awesome! Can never go back to a regular. Hands down recommend. I have not had any issues, but i would recommend a warranty!

My kid loves it. Like the changeable buttons an case is nice
