Customer Ratings & Reviews

This device it’s amazing I love it, comfortable, easy to use and set it up.

I got this to replace my Elite Series 2. Ive had the series 2 for over 2 years and its just wore out. The core is great because I already have rhe paddles. I hope I get another 2 years out of this contoller. Loving it so far!

For an OEM controller, its great. Durability and longevity really depends on your use. Make sure to get the 2 year extended warranty from Microsoft only. You can buy paddles for cheaper third party

Definitely worth the upgrade if you are playing FPS titles. Quality is top tier, however the grips are still not the best. Microsoft should take a look at using similar material that is used on the Scuff controllers.

Hopefully this will last longer than my last elite controller.

Operates smooth and actually feels solid in your hand. Also like that its rechargeable

I luv this controller. The weight and grips around the sides, gives a great feel in your hands. Also luv that the joysticks and d-pad are pop outs makes for changing easy and quick.

I going to go ahead & give this item a good review, this is my second one. First one was great & then out of no where the right bumper started double clicking, I dealt with it for a little, however at $180 for a controller, it better be flawless & I didn’t have it but for like 2 weeks & it’s malfunctioning. I looked up online & that’s where I found my issue & others. I returned it to Best Buy & as normal they exchanged it for me with no fuss. So far the new one is working correctly, seems the face buttons need to be pressed with conviction, however the entire controller works, the craftsmanship & functionality is great & this could be the greatest product ever, if Microsoft can just fix the software & hardware issues. It’s crazy how all over the place the quality control is. If this controller goes south, I will be looking to get a refund & just buy a good battery charger & battery setup for my plain jane Xbox controller & call it a day, that controller still works great

Is it worth 160 bucks? No. Is it a great controller? Yes. It's actually a really nice controller. The rubberized faceplate is really grippy and comfortable and the interchangeable buttons are nice too. I've only found use for the paddles in racing games for shifting but I'm sure theres other uses for them.

Great controller, would recommend. I will probably buy another one.

Love the controller. Love the feel, the customize the joysticks, the the "clickyness" of the paddles and, middle button. What im not a fan of is paying this much for a controller and already having issues. My buddy also experienced the same thing as me when you click the bumpers the controller registers it as you clicking it twice and this is very frustrating. i tried it on a couple separate games to see if it was the game and it was in fact the controller. I even tried testing it while hitting them slowly to make sure i wasn't hitting them twice myself. I am waiting for Best Buy to be in stock again so i can get my exchange and hope i just got a dud. Very unfortunate.

I use this for Call of Duty but it’s not much more useful to me than a standard core controller. I only use 1 paddle for jumping/climbing. The deadzones need to be set at least 0.08 for the drifting to stop (this is a major issue in games where you can’t change the deadzone values.) Having all 4 paddles on is extremly uncomfortable and you’re bound to accidentally reload or swap weapons in a gun fight. Good news is they are removable. I have already had bluetooth issues with it on PC so I keep it plugged in. The trigger locks are kind of cool especially for semi auto weapons. If you find a use for all the features comfortably, this will work for you. I will probably be returning this in January.

Good controller. I only get about a years use out of it until stick drift becomes unbearable. Prob play more than the typical person. Def buy the warranty with controller.

Yes it's expensive for a controller but totally worth it compared to the older elite controller. Build quality is so much better with no glued on grip pieces like the older controller, ability to customize stick tension, and durable materials. After using the elite controllers it's a serious downgrade using regular xbox controllers again.

Best controller I’ve used by far. The adjustable paddles are helpful

Came in excellent condition. Not a single blemish and the controller itself performs amazingly. Got some heft and you really appreciate the fine tuning freedom.

Truly can not consider any cons f owning this Elite controller. It enhances your gameplay experience in such a remarkable way. Definitely a must own.

Bought as a gift for my spouse. He was very happy with it. He likes that you can change out the buttons and pads to completely customize the controller.

Great controller, better that the elite 1. I use it for both competitive an casual gaming on a broad spectrum of gaming genres! Highly recommend!

Best controller Ive purchased for gaming , love it
