Customer Ratings & Reviews

*Will update this review at 6 months First impression is that nothing else compares. This is my first elite controller and after holding the original xbox controller, the difference is felt right away. I dont own an xbox, so i use this while playing on PC. With that being said, the ability to remap pretty much any button to any function you would normally use on keyboard on to the controller, is phenomenal from a quality of life perspective. Construction is sturdy, and the textured rubber grips that wrap around where you hold gives a next level of comfort. Being able to adjust the tension and force needed to move the joystick is a great feature. The soft-touch face is nice, but i can see this becoming a fingerprint magnet. Buttons are nice and tactile, and all the changeable parts are magnetic so you wont have to worry about snapping anything. A huge plus is the carrying case which doubles as a charging station via usb-c, and a holder for other accessories (the charging dock inside can also be used independently from the case). A few cons, though its a bit nit-picky are the length of the paddles. This isnt too big of a deal, but i had to readjust my grip and how i hold the controller to press the paddles on the back without my fingers interfering one another (i have medium-large hands). A USB dongle to connect the controller to pc is not included and would have to be ordered separately, which can be a con to some. The longevity of this controller is yet to be seen from personal experience, as i have read reviews of this controller being DOA, buttons not working after a few months, or the terrible stick drift. Honestly, i don't see myself buying another controller after this as this is truly the ultimate device for handheld/controller gaming. Is it worth the upgrade from an original controller? For my application, yes! Should you buy it? Depends on what you're looking to do with it.

Great price for a great product well worth it decently recommend!

The elite series 2 is better in many ways than the Series 1, but does have some trade offs. You can read about the updates on the Msft website. So I just tell you what the negatives over the series one are. First the battery isn’t replaceable, so ones it’s capacity starts to go down, you’re out of luck. The other difference I’ve found is the textured grips are definitely not as sticky as the series one. Sure the texture looks and feels the same, this feels more like textured plastic than textured rubber. It’s more noticeable the longer you use it.

Great controller!! but for the price... this controller feels expensive. Great quality materials and funtionality. I love the interchangable thumb sticks that are magnetic. Great response feel. The thumbstick tightness adjustments are great for those percision shots in fps or 3rd person. The buttons and triggers work and feel great. The adjustable triggers are a great component fpr different genre of games. The charger design is amazing with the in case or oit of case ability to plug in. The D pads are great. Im not a fan of the circular D-pad but i changed it out for the cross and it works great. Im glad all these components came in the purchase. Bluetooth works great on PC, android, xbox, but you need a 3rd party connection for ps4. Could not get to work with ps5. The only downside i have with it is it does not have gyroscope capabilities. A niche complaint for those obscure games. All around one of the best controllers I've ever owned.

Bought this controller as an avid PS4 controller fan and have to admit this controller exceeded my expectations. I'm very happy with all the features (paddles, joy stick tension adjustment and multiple config button mappings) to name a few. I was still planning to go back to my custom made ps4 controller, but after using this controller for a few days I'm just going to stick the this one. Even bought the 2 year warranty. Hightly recommended for anyone's gaming needs.

The best ever and I will continue to buy this !!!!

Great controller, long battery life and easily customizable. If you can look past the price I would say this is the best controller out for PC as far as battery life, Bluetooth connectivity, and versatility

Thought it was great bought as a open box however I later found out the left analog assembly that is soldered to the board is broke so unless i find another one and manage to solder it to the board successfully it's toast.

Awesome. Works great. Able to game fast and easy. Replaced my last one that lasted a long time.

Good quality, purchased refurbished can definitely tell it’s refurbished. Not bad tho

Overall the controller is very greatOverall the controller is very great sometimes I have an issue with connecting via Bluetooth but otherwise I don't have any complaints

Great controller works great for gaming. Best controller with a great price

Love the feel and the way it can be customized. Multiple paddles and sticks make it great!

This controller is a huge step up from the regular controller provided with the Xbox! The bells and whistles are totally worth it and the case is that final magic touch. I’m a streamer and sometimes travel to game and having a cased controller is like having your cake and eating it too! Well worth the money!!

Great controller! Exceeded the expectations of my son. He says It has improved his gameplay.

Smooth game play, easy to manage, no issues. Love the charging dock and battery indicator

Great controller. Make sure to get the 2 yr warranty with Best Buy though they’re notorious for wearing out but Best Buy’s policy is great cause you can renew your warranty with the replacements. I bought one when they first released and have probably been through 5 of them now because of how good their replacement policy is

I bought this product for my son. He’s been using it since the beginning of the year and it has been holding up and he really enjoys it.

This is my first review with this controller after owning each elite controller since launch. They are amazing controllers for the most part, however, the build quality is lacking. You might run into toggle or top bumper problems the most (like in my case). Each time I've had to replace this controller, it's either the joystick toggle, or the top bumpers. So the build quality doesn't justify the price tag at all. The battery life and grip and the back bumpers make this controller worth it for more seasoned players. I would at least always recommend the protection plan... it's worth it for the extra $65 or so.

So glad I bought this so much better then the basic controller.
