Customer Ratings & Reviews

I returned my Series 1 multiple times to Microsoft for grips that kept falling off. I bought Series 2 and am glad they fixed all the mistakes made with the first edition. This model has a built in battery that lasts over 35 hours on a single charge (Been playing Borderlands 3 with it since Christmas) and the grips are no longer glued but a part of the controller itself. It's more expensive than Series 1, but that's because of the amazing built in battery. Strongly recommended if you're a hard core gamer that plays a ton!

This controller is perfect for anyone who already has an elite series 2 controller and is looking to replace their old one. You can use the old attachments on this new one and and it feels literally the same. So far no issue and price is fair compared to the normal elite series 2 controller.

I bought this skeptically at first but have since loved using it. I love the extra weight, it makes the controller feel much more substantial in the hand. Following that, the customization with the extra buttons and joysticks unlock some cool stuff in games.

Great controller. Because of the button mapping and paddles I was able to greatly improve response times in some games. Played numerous house and very very very minimal stick drift. The elite series controller are always my go to. Some say it’s a little heavy but to me I like the weight and doesn’t seem cheap.

Best cobtroller i have used, but it will get stick drift eventually. Get insurance for sure, and just keep trading it in whenever the stick drift starts to show. Its an unfortunate necessity.

Best xbox controller on the market. Great customization. Very durable and reliable

I love this controller & i love the warranty that best buy offers for it. I only give 4 stars because of little things ive noticed. They do eventually get stick drift but again warranty, & then theres the issue ive had with 3 in a row of the rubber grip starts to peel up after a little while. Another personal gripe is i have big hands & it wouod be nice if the spacing for the paddles was better. It is very difficult to use all 4 with larger hands. Atleast in my experience.

I love this thing. I never thought I would spend money like this on a a controller, but I had some xmas money to burn so I did it. This feels very sturdy and well-made. The added, removable, and programmable buttons on the trigger side have been great for games that have a lot of button pushing. This controller is customizable with magnetic thumb knobs on each side plus the directional pad. No regrets on this purchase.

If you need a top of the like controller this MIGHT be it. Its good sturdy, long battery, and feels good but it can tend to get stick drift not in the normal way but that the sticks work so well that the slightest touch and youll keep drifting when having your finger rest on it

I was able to get the controller on deal of the day special and it works perfectly

This is without a doubt a better feeling design then the first Elite controller. It has 3 positions for controller config potions, and the grips on the handles have a softer bump fell to them. The paddles on the bottom also feel better, a little more tucked in and out of the way. Also love the blacked out look of the controller. Just hope that the right and left bumper do better then the first Elite controller, Had to get mine fixed/replaced twice because they failed to work.

Absolutely loved everything about this controller. Weight feels great in hands, super comfortable, and customizable buttons/sticks to suit your preferences. I owned this controller for 2 months, when suddenly the sticks started drifting. I didn’t drop it, I keep good care of it, but this still happened. I should have done my research. 2 months for almost $200 just doesn’t cut it. Stick to the cheap ones, at least you expect them to be junk.

This controller is amazing in every way except 1. I would think that a $200 controller would last more than a year and a half before the sticks started drifting with no way to fix. I have original XBOX 360 controllers that I still use years and years later. Those cost $60 and still work perfectly, but this super expensive (and totally worth the price for how it works... when it works) controller needs to be replaced not even 2 years after purchase. I am a middle aged man who uses this probably a quarter of what a young kid would and it always gets stored in its cradle after use, and still.... have to replace it already. This is a problem I see hundreds of videos referencing too, so it is not isolated. I hope they fix it in future generations of controllers, because everything about it is truly Elite, except its life span.

I got the product open box and it works perfectly. This controller I haven't had any issues with and for the price I bought it at I would say that it was definitely worth it for me.

Great controller, I had the old gen, and this lives up to its hype. I love it,

Great Xbox controller, bit packs holifax sensors so it will even get drift just like all controllers. USB c is nice but no rechargeable battery is still insane In 2026 especially for an elite controller.

This is a very good controller. I only give it 3 stars because the A button doesn't work correctly. I can take 2-3 times of pressing it in order for it to work. It was that way straight out of the box. The controller is still overpriced. However, this controller is far superior to the basic Xbox controllers.

Very comfortable and has a good weight to it, triggers are great!

Got this at a deal i couldnt pass up. This open box item appeared brand new, and had all accessories with it. Really a great purchase. Controller feels awesome, dedinitely a huge quality bump. The weight, configuration options, no complaints.

Great controller. It feels much better than a regular option.
