Customer Ratings & Reviews

Feels polished, well put together and durable. Compared to the cheap Amazon controllers, the Xbox Elite blows them all out of the water. Is it worth 3 or 4 times more than that no-brand controller? Absolutely. You won't know what you're missing until you've tried this. Find a demo and you'll know exactly what I mean as soon as you pick it up.

Have had it for a little over 2 weeks and it’s pretty awesome I like the trigger locks and the software that you can set it to 0 which comes in handy when you are trying to drive a vehicle in warzone you won’t need to adjust the trigger locks back to full press. The tension adjustment on the sticks is very nice too hopefully it lasts me a long time but I got the 2 year geek squad insurance

It's a huge upgrade from the stock control. Especially for fps.

I really wanted this controller to be the quality that would reflect the price tag. But unfortunately, my second one kept me from trying a third. The first lasted around six months. I’m a light gamer. Took care of how I treated it. The right trigger and right stick started failing. Used my Geek Squad protection and swapped it for the second one. The new controller had the sticking button issue and returned it right away. All the negative reviews on the controller are true. I imagine there are good ones out there by the positive reviews, I just didn’t get that lucky. Too much money to have the negative quality control issues it has. If built with care from the factory, it would be worth the money in my opinion. Great feel and materials. I’m not the third time a charm kind of person. I hope the Elite 3 will address and fix the issues from the previous two. If you do purchase the Elite 2, get the protection plan.

This device checks a lot of boxes. It's really comfortable to hold, and has a nice weight to it. Clearly uses good materials as it just feels great to hold and use. The problem is that it's very unreliable. I've now gone through 3 of these via warranty repair, which is crazy for a device of this sort. My regular Xbox controllers have worked solidly (minus some wear on the rubber from use), but the Elite Series 2 has had issues with the bumpers across all the devices I've had within 6 months. A very frustrating experience, and definitely would recommend waiting until a version 3 or updated release where Microsoft has sorted out these issues. Search online, they're very common.

The body and grips are an improvement over the v1 Elite controllers, but there’s already issues with the RB/LB buttons wearing out and becoming non-responsive like they did with the v1. For the cost, Microsoft really needs to address that. These shouldn’t wear out in 9-12 months for this price. I’ve already had to replace mine once.

wanted this on pc to play on forza and it’s a very high quality controller. i also cant get over how nice the charging stand is. overall 10/10 controller. definitely an upgrade from the first generation.

Great controller good weight and comfortable to hold.

Got this remote for my 2 boys because they’re hardcore gamers and they love their remotes! Also get the 2 year protection plan because the remotes fragile because sometimes the buttons stick, but no worries it’s normal! Trust me get the plan you will use it and when they check it at Best Buy they will give you a brand new one on the spot!

I recently purchased the Xbox controller with high hopes due to its reputation for great quality and performance. Upon unboxing, it was clear that the controller boasted a robust build and excellent craftsmanship in its design – a definite plus. The ergonomic feel of the controller in hand was quite impressive, and the buttons and triggers were responsive and well-placed. I appreciated the attention to detail in the design, and it truly felt like a premium gaming accessory. However, my experience took a downturn when I encountered an issue that has become all too common with these controllers – joystick drift. It's disappointing to see that even with such meticulous construction, Microsoft has not managed to address this critical flaw. The joystick drift makes gaming sessions frustrating and unenjoyable, as precise movements become almost impossible to execute accurately. Given the premium price point of the controller and the reputation of Microsoft, it's truly disheartening to witness such a glaring issue persist. While the build quality and overall feel of the controller are commendable, the presence of joystick drift significantly tarnishes the gaming experience. It's a shame that a company of Microsoft's caliber has not resolved this matter satisfactorily. In conclusion, while the Xbox controller exhibits exceptional craftsmanship and a sturdy build, the ongoing issue of joystick drift severely impacts its usability and overall value. It's my hope that Microsoft takes heed of these concerns and works towards rectifying this persistent problem to provide gamers with the experience they deserve. Until then, it's hard to wholeheartedly recommend this controller.

It's a good controller, but when using it for PC, the connection is unstable and would disconnect constantly. Using a wire fixes the issue but if you wanted a wireless controller this isn't it.

Very high quality controller. Unlimited button mapping, with precision settings on thumb sticks and triggers

Definitely a very good controller however the price is a bit extreme. Also my controllers A button sometimes doesn’t work however everything else, besides the price, is very good. 4/5 stars.

From fit to finish this controller is something any avid gamer should lay there hands on. The ability to customize and Taylor the device to fit your hand and game play style is incredible. The paddles took my game to the next level and overall I’m really enjoying it. My only complaint is the price but admit it has been worth every penny.

I'm not a "Hardcore" gamer yet I do enjoy some button smashing. This controller is a great addition to my Series X gaming console and I greatly appreciate the sturdy build quality especially the rechargeable battery inside as well as the tighter joy stick feel. Only con I say is the price... they can sale these for at least $100.00 and below but that's my opinion.

I wasnt sure what the difference is as I don’t personally play any games, but jy husband and kids love this controller. The adjustments you can make to the joysticks is really nice for gamers

Solid investment. I bought it to see if my gameplay could improve with a better controller. It definitely helped most of the FPS games I play. It has a ton of customization options on the controller itself and in the app to change button mapping, etc. Worth it in my opinion. Battery lasts forever.

The best controller I have ever owned. The moment I put into my grubby paws I knew this was my controller for life.

I bought another one because I do really like them, but the first one I had started to have that right stick drift after a little less than 2 years, which at least on Ark Survival Evolved made the game unplayable with it making my player look straight at the ground constantly even if just standing still. There are plenty of videos online about this issue, (the spraying air and using alcohol "solutions" on some videos did not work) and I can say that from my experience it is real problem and should be unacceptable for the lofty price; MS should at least have a longer warranty for this particular issue.

The perfect controller. Paddles are stiff and high quality. The comfort of the controller is really nice. LOVE IT!
