Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this as a replacement to my old worn series 2 controller and it is great, just make sure to keep your back paddles.

Always loved these controllers. When my old ones get bad I just orders these right away.

So far so good I'll try and focus this review on the things I think are useful that people want to know. I've had the controller about 1 week, and used it for a good several hrs each day. I don't play competitive and don't thrash the controller around. Been playing twin stick with reasonable amount of trigger usage, and some coverage of all other buttons including the infamous Y button. So far I have had no issues, no double clicks, or missed clicks etc. Both sticks are perfectly tracking as shown in the xbox accessories software. And the response curve on the triggers is also as it should be. The trigger adjustments work as expected and feel solid, but by the same token I wouldn't be too rough with them when shortened. The stick tension provides three settings, standard, firm, and extra firm. This worked fine for me, but I'll be sticking with standard. Accessories: I love the convenience of the charging stand and case it comes with The different stick options are a plus and easy to swap, but I will probably just use the default ones. The faceted (default) dpad has a nice action, but for me the + dpad is the better choice and has a decisive response! The paddles work fine, easy to remove if desired, I do use them with a couple of remappings (view and left bumper in my case). IMO, the new white elite 2 controller could have at least been a consideration if it had the + dpad and the paddles. Software/Other: I use the controller on PC coupled with the wireless adapter (got mine from Noel Leeming) The XBox accessories app works as expected and allows me to setup the profiles. You can remap all functionality on the controller, but only to existing actions the controller supports. SO... - No keyboard mappings - Doesn't allow a mapping for the "Share" button found on newer xbox controllers.

You can choose anything, but the Xbox chooses you.

Heavier than the plastic controllers makes for a more comfortable grip. I was originally uncertain on the paddles (20 years of muscle memory with buttons), but actually makes for more enjoyable game play in first-person shooters. Highly recommend even for the “older” gamers.

So far this controller is pretty solid. I did have the series one version of this and the rubber grips peeled off after a while. The ones on here seem a bit more solid though. I do like how you can adjust tension on joysticks. Happy to not have to change batteries either.

Bought this for my husband and he loves it! You can calibrate this controller for your individual preference. He is a gamer and this is his only go to controller when playing his favorite games!

Bumper triggers are susceptible to damage; however, they are quite nice.

Excellent controller. Map paddles on bottom to any other button or remove them. Feels solid/dense, unlike classic controller that feels hollow/weighless. Worth the money.

The a & b buttons seems a little sticky. Bot as responsive as the others. Thats the only conplaint i have. Other than that, pretty cool controller

I have had both the series 1 and series 2. The series 2 is in my opinion much better. I also have the PS5 dual sense edge which is their version of the same type of controller and this one is much more consistent and I have never had issues with it. I just bought a new replacement after the one I bought when they first came out finally stopped working. Would recommend if you like the xbox controller design.

Easy to connect to different devices and great feel in my hands

Love the controller and the paddle in the back. Way better than the 1st for sure. It lighter and better made this time. Only issue i have is the button non responsive. 1st time it was my A button. Today was my left bumber.

Great until you start getting non-responsive bumpers or drift issues with thumb sticks.

Absolutely amazing remote the only reason didn't get 5 stars because the price is so ridiculously high. Thankfully Best buy price matched this so it was affordable, I love the remote!

Works very well and is very comfortable for when you are playing for a long time. I feel it is better than the old elite controllers.

Beautiful controller, love the additional paddles and the adjustable joysticks.

Nice buy , game play is more responsive and the customizable psd are nice. Love that it is rechargeable

Controller feels to built of decent quality. The only issue that I really have from time to time are the button presses not getting registered. A bit buggy every now and again but still an overall good controller.

Controller is awesome. Battery charge lasts for days at a time and that is with hours of game play. I like that you can chage the joysticks, paddles and Tpad easily all magnetized, easy on and off. The case to hold and charge controller is very sturdy and holds everything. Would definitly recommend
