Customer Ratings & Reviews

It comes out of the box with stick drift, albeit can be fixed by setting a .1 dead zone. No other controller I’ve had needs this high a dead zone to work in fps games brand new. Controller is great for rpg’s, but get another option if you mainly play fps. Other than stick drift, the build quality is excellent. Back buttons are perfect. Customization options are 2nd to none. The drift was just a dealbreaker for me.

Everything about it is near perfect, except the lower-right paddle slot; When the paddle is seated as best as possible, there is a generous amount of play.

My Grandchildren enjoy the faster responsiveness of this series. They seem quite impressed. For me? Way overpriced.

Near flawless control but had a small stick drift that persists today. Button layout is hard to get used to but is a somewhat quick learning curve if you’re going one button at a time

Purchased as a replacement for another elite series 2 that bumper buttons wire out on. Hopefully internal component quality is better. Had better luck with the original elite controllers

This is my 3rd defective controller. My first one lasted 5 months and the right trigger started grinding and not pressing correctly, I had that one sent to microsoft since I purchased my first one through them, and am waiting for it to be fixed. I just bought another one through best buy, and when I recieved it in the mail, the controller sounded like it had broken bits of plastic inside moving around, So today it was exchanged but they only had red, so I had to pay 11+ dollars extra for the difference just to get an exchange. Geek squad checked the new controller to confirm it was a good one without problems. When I tried it at home the joysticks sound like there is sticky residue inside them, and when I press down on the joysticks and rotate them, they get stopped in rotation by some internal defect that doesn't allow them to rotate as they should, and when I use the left one and aim to the bottom left side and try to click in, it simply will not press in. These controllers are plagued with defects right out of the box, with zero quality control what so ever, and even geek squad missed this defect and said it was a good controller. I will be returning this product plus the 2 year extended warranty I bought for it, which is needed for these controllers because they WILL break eventually if not already defective right out of the box. $130 for the white one, $140 for the colored ones. an xbox series s is 250$ This controller is half the cost of a CONSOLE, yet has the worst quality control I have ever seen at 37 years old, and gaming since I was a kid. If you get a defective controller, don't let Microsoft get away with it, return it immediatly. It is the only way Microsoft will learn that all these returns will push Microsoft to want better quality control.

Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2019 I honestly cannot find a single flaw on this controller. I’m also not quite sure how Microsoft or anyone else could top this. It is pure perfection in your hands. The price is absolutely worth it in my opinion.

Got one for my son loved it so much I got one for myself. The adjustable thumbstick tension is amazing overall perfect.

The controller is great and Microsoft is currently making it more repairable so if you get it, you’ll have it for a long time. but I would look out for elite series 3 soon

Love it. Much better than the first version. 3 levels of trigger resistance. Internal battery. The paddles are a little shorter so it's not as easy to tap accidentally (it still happens from time to time). The construction and materials of the controller are pretty good.

The product is great. I’ve been playing Xbox for a long time and this controller has improved my gaming experience. I love how customizable it is.

This is the best controller out there. I use it for PC games. It's expensive, but you're not going to find anything better.

Amazing controller for the cost. Especially if caught in sale. Recommend ordering from third party for additional button, thumb stick, and paddles

Its a very nice controller with all the bells and whistles. But my big con was the fact that i cant use my battery chargers. Can only use the plug and play which when you are far from tv gets annoying. If they fixed this id buy 2

Id say if your a hardcore gamer especially online this is for u with its customization and built quality its ment to take the hours youll put into it. But if u want a controller that doesnt break so easily this also works. Id say wait for the right price doe .

It's a huge upgrade from the stock control. Especially for fps.

Controller is very nice, but as many reviews have stated the build quality isn’t the best. Sure is nice though, but definitely not worth $180. If you have the money for it, you should buy the warranty, which is another $60 so yeah it’s really pricey.

Why didn’t I make this upgrade sooner? Absolutely impressed with the build quality and structure of this controller. Many more upgrades from the V1 series and it will blow your mind. If you haven’t already, add to your cart and make the purchase. Thank you!

Works great makes playing games more emersive with haptic feedback

Bought this to replace my Elite Series One and it rocks! I use it for many games since moving over to my gaming PC and it is the best! Love the feel the build and how you can customize it even more then the first one! It is pricey I will admit but if you can spring for it do it and thank me later!
