Customer Ratings & Reviews

Dont get me wrong, I LOVE this controller… although ive owned two of these and the left bumper is almost guarenteed to start sticking and not taking input. Forcing you to use your paddles as bumpers. Otherwise build quality is pretty good d pad and joysticks very responsive and adjustble triggers are a must. Just watch out for this flaw and be prepared for specificlly the left bumper to fail because it only takes just long enough fir it to get out of warranty.

As advertised. Paddles are a must for competitive gaming. These typically have quality control issues but have no experienced anything yet (have previously returned two controllers with the extended warranty via BestBuy where the bumper stopped working).

The controller works great and the ability to customize almost anything on the controller took my gaming to the next level!! Highly recommend this controller.

I like the first elite controller, but it took a lot of abuse. The second elite controller has nice grips and texture on it. I bought an open box controller but so far it has everything and works perfect perfectly.

The red is great. The weight is great. I use this exclusively for my PC and I love it. Immediately connects, batter lasts forever and different joystick options a welcome addition.

It’s what you’d expect from an elite controller but for some reason this one doesn’t come with the variety of customization out the box. So you have to buy separately.

Very good product, grips make for a very comfort hand feel, feels solid. However the Magnetic Dpad is not great if you're looking to play fighting games with it, as it has a chance of popping off from intense use. Most buttons feel very good, press smooth, and very nice clicks. However out of the box I noticed that my x button had some stick which seemed to go away after some use. I'd recommend getting the warranty incase of any defects.

Really great controller! Has a premium grip and good weight to it. Not built like those cheap plastic ones. The trigers and analog sticks are reslly good out the box but once you customize them theyre on a different level!

If a regular Xbox controller is a trusty sedan, the Elite Series 2 is a fully loaded sports car with heated seats, adaptive suspension, and a smug sense of superiority. From the moment you pick it up, it whispers, “You deserve better.” The rubberized grips feel like they were designed by a team of ergonomic wizards who moonlight as hand therapists. The swappable thumbsticks and paddles? Pure modular joy — like LEGO for grown-up gamers with commitment issues. Battery life clocks in at a ridiculous 40 hours, which is either a blessing or a subtle challenge to your sleep schedule. And the adjustable tension sticks? Let’s just say they’re the closest thing to analog therapy. Yes, it’s pricey. But so is sushi-grade tuna, and you don’t see anyone regretting that.

Great controller, its about time they dropped the Elite series 3 though. I think this one is lagging behind (literally) when it comes to the amount of Hz it connects too. The higher the better. Almost got a different one until i found it it had no rumble to the controller. I need to feel the game! Extremely comfortable and easy to use. Buy!!!

The overall feel of the controller already makes it worth the purchase to me - but with the addition of the customizable paddles on the back make it to where I can’t go back now.

"Professional" reviews are normally hit or miss and here lately complete garbage. Wanted one of these for a while, so I got one. I was one that could only play 1st person shooters with keyboard and mouse. Tried many times with the Xbox wireless controller, but no way. After setting up the Elite with the windows app and a little practice, I am now playing 1st person shooters almost as good as a keyboard and mouse with the convenience of a controller. Its just more fun. The customization in the app is very nice. Stick curve and sensitivity along with full button customization. There is also recalibration. The controller feels premium and comfortable, I use all four paddles and dont need to touch the keyboard for normal play controls. After just a few days I tried the older wireless controller again and couldnt put it away fast enough. If you are on the fence about it, dont be! The additional sticks are a must. Magnetic charger is awesome.

Awesome. Great feel, weight, and look. Works like a charm and is much nicer than the standard controller. Plus the charger… way better than the battery bs

Really happy with this controller so far! The feel is solid — nice grips, good weight, and it just works. I love being able to tweak sticks and triggers, and the rechargeable battery lasts me through long sessions. Setup was easy via USB-C or Bluetooth, and it’s great on both Xbox and PC. Only minor thing: it’s a bit pricey, and if you’re after paddles or extras you’ll need to spend more. Overall though, well worth it if you’re serious about your game.

A great controller. As a casual gamer I’m not a fan of the faceted (round) d-pad not having any tactile markers or bumps, so I had to buy an aftermarket “+” shaped d-pad accessory. If you also get the back paddles for this controller they are placed well but require some playtime to get used to, especially if you are accustomed to squeezing the grips.

This controller have a premium feel to it, it didnt come with the extra buttons but ended up getting it anyways! I love this controller and get the warranty if youre worried about stick drift out the box

So far so good. My last one lasted about 2 years before the right bumper started not responding. Hoping this one will ladt longer.

Great value, had for over a year now. Starting to get a little stick drift but nothing crazy

I ended up returning this item. I like the charging station it came with. The paddles on the back are a really nice addition. Unfortunately it had stick drift very quickly. I returned it because withing a few days I had regular stick drift. So, I could tell it was at a higher quality and better controler but the stick drift so early on was something I had to return for. For the dollar amount, I felt there should be no issues with it day 1.

Most comfortable controller ive ever used. Extremely durable. Buttons and Joysticks are solid and responsive. Battery life is very impressive.
