Customer Ratings & Reviews

This controller is amazing, really makes a difference in one's gaming experience. I highly recommend this product for casual or even competitive gaming.

I bought this after having to Elite Series 2 controllers fail on me in less than 3 years and decided to try the cheaper Core version to save some money. It didn't go well. The right joystick was loose, and the cap not screwed on tightly and the stick spun freely. I was able to hand tighten it but didn't exactly feel confident at that point. I connected the controller and discovered the right stick was drifting badly out of the box, over 17% percent on input tester. Beyond that, the sticks just didn't feel nearly as good as a standard Elite Series 2, the right stick felt like it was grinding on the shell, not the smooth feel of the original, and the joysticks just overall felt cheaper. The whole controller just felt cheaper in general, and I decided not to pick up another one upon returning it. I'm just going for a cheaper controller at this point. I'm sick of having such bad build quality on $130+ controllers.

Great fit, love the position of the pads, and seems accommodating for a faster reflex action

This is a good controller but for almost $200 dollars the ABXY buttons tend to feel flat some times without a good bounce back. I would have a tough time recommending it for the price. It is better than the standard controller but not by much.

I love this controller, I was going to create my own with the Xbox website yet this one matched what I wanted, I got it for a deal too, what a steal

Better than the first elite controller. No problem still working great!

Love this controller, never an issue connecting to my PC. Makes gaming so much simpler

Fire, great feeling, love the look would buy again

[Employee of bestbuy] Great controller and it comes with many accessories that allows any type of player to maximize their play styles. Controller feels heavy and has amazing grip.

First controller I bought had a joystick that was crooked, (open box special) upon returning they quickly swapped me out for one that was not defective.

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.

Great out of the box but has not withstood the kids abuse and use. Have had to had geek squad check it out twice in a short time. This Would likely last a long time with adult use. Added functions are amazing and customizable. Get the geek squad protection!

My controller gave me an advantage in games. I felt powerful destroying my enemies. They couldn’t stand a CHANCE!!! Will buy again if it breaks. Thank you elite controller.

Always love these controllers sadly this is my third one over time the left thumb stick seems to never recenter completely it's not that noticeable until you're playing a game that requires precision and this is also the second controller where the right bumper also messed up and sometimes doesn't work.

Great controller and has a lot of functionality. Only conplait is the price. Not worth the price. Would be better buy at a cheaper price.

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.

It was hard to justify 180 dollars for a controller. But once you hold, and feel, and play on an elite series 2 controller. It will be worth every penny.

Amazing, my husband loves his controller. More speed, great design, soft touch and longer battery life. Working on other settings to be implemented. Too busy working!

Our nephew loved his birthday gift! Not to mention, the young man that helped me at the Merrillville location was so friendly and helpful!

I have these congrollers and love them. When they go on sale for this much, I grabbed another. Just in case I ever needed one. That’s how much I like this controller.
