Customer Ratings & Reviews

This controller drifts so bad. I have had it less than a week…

Weight feels premium, I love the rubber on the hand grips. The adjustable triggers are great for Call of Duty and other FPS shooters. The small metal details all over really make it feel like an upgrade over the standard. The built in rechargeable battery and USB - C charging are great and the battery life is long. The only issue I had was that the X button was sticking slightly when I first received the controller however that issue resolved itself and the controller has been great since.

I purchased this remote for the kids and they love the features

Poor quality for its price!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome Control, best control i’ve ever used by a Mile!

Dirtiest controller I ever seen with joy stick drift, extremely disappointed for almost paying full price for this.

Just received 15 mins ago, open it up and it’s used, scraped up and all. Very disappointed.

Don’t buy this controller went bad I a month and I barely play! Left stick is not working I did a update on it and still the same! Very disappointed

The excellent condition controller is missing parts.

Left bumper did not work when it arrived, and i was forced to return it.

I have bigger hands so I find this controller to fit in my hand well. I use it to play on my gaming PC and iPad Pro. The xbox accessories app helps with mapping the controller and you are able to save up to 3 different profiles based in what you need. I did not need to bug the paddles for extra customization on the back of the controller but it has the options available to you. You can switch modes to change how deep upu have to squeeze the back triggers to avoid wear and tear or responsiveness. Very easy to set up on Windows and even IOS. I expected it to give me a bit of trouble linking to my iPad but i was pleased to see it did not. All in all, I really enjoy the controller. I also, find the vattery life on it on a full charge quite long. Most times i use it for a couple of days before I plug it back in to charge.

Love the look and feel of the elite Controller and the built in rechargeable battery and life is great. The customization of the controller is also great. Now for the bad news this will always break and usually in under a year so you must get an extended warranty to make this product work. I have had 10 of these of which I bought 2 so I could have a backup when the other one is getting replaced or fixed. They break easily because they are so heavy you absolutely can. It drop them period. Stick drift is also very common and I probably put more tension than most on the sticks. I only recommend these if you get them on sale under 100 bucks and also if an extended warranty is available at a good price, otherwise do not buy. I will say this is the last pair I will buy and will try a higher quality brand in the future.

I play on PC and this is a great, comfortable controller with good weight to it. However, the extra paddles are sold separately. If you buy them you can use the Xbox software to create a profile and map the paddles to any button, however it does not look like you can mark them on their own, which would be amazing. The feel is definitely premium and there is some grip on the handles. Everything about the feel is fantastic, including the ability to modify the pressure required on your trigger buttons. Battery life has been great, though I tend to charge frequently anyway. Playing on PC I thought I'd be using the Bluetooth connectivity... however I've found that Bluetooth is not the most reliable in terms of registering quick inputs like in a fast pace video game as it would just miss button pressed entirely. Connecting the controller with a cable fixes the issue and everything operates perfectly, though. I think it's just an issue with Bluetooth as my keyboard does the same thing on Bluetooth mode. Overall, great controller to use on PC. It feels fantastic in the hand and operates great when wired. Bluetooth is a nice backup but the missed button pressed will definitely be noticed quickly.

These are hands down better than the controller that comes with the system. If you already own the pro version with the charging station and the triggers this is a good second elite. If you don't care about the charging station or the back trigger's than this is a good option but I personally use the back trigger's and I like the ability to go into the Xbox and change the buttons and controller light colors. Only thing I would suggest is to purchase the warranty as they can break. They really need to use more stronger bumper buttons and better sticks as these eventually will get drift. But if it does under warranty then just return it for a new one.

Just get a regular or the actual pro, this mixture makes no sense. Ended up returning.

so just to put this out there i am mkr being paid for this review. So i have tried many pro controllers in the past from scuf, turthe beach and dualsense edge and this by far is the best one as far as responsiveness, comfort and grip, and the 4 mappable back paddles, and interchangable thumbsticks which is why i settled on this one for my FPS games like Apex Legends and The Finals, ive pesosnlly seen a great improvemnt in my gameplay espcially tracking and aiming, granted skill plays a huge part but having a controller like this keeps my thumbs on the sticks at all times with the rear paddles. I reccmomend it, you can use it on xbox series X/S and also on PC, works great with handheld PCs like ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go. If the price tag is a bit much i reccomend waiting for a sale or just buy a second hand one like i did from Best Buy i paid 110 for mine its practically new no issues 3 months in.

Minor stick drift until some tuning. I owned the previous elite so I knew what I was getting. I just love the weight, build quality (less the sticks) and MS needs to use Hall next time. Perfect controller if they did.

Honestly, this is my favorite Xbox controller I’ve ever had. Love the fact that it doesn’t use batteries, you can easily charge it. It charges quickly, and it lasts around 40 hours. Stick drift would be my only real concern as all my previous Xbox controllers have had quite a bit of it after many many months of use. But so far 4 months in, 0 stick drift, but too early to tell if it’ll be a problem. I would also recommend buying the elite series case and components from Xbox as that has really elevated my experience with the controller. Don’t cheap out and buy from unauthorized sellers, I promise you it’s worth it. I think my only real problem with it, is that it’s on the expensive side. If you have the money for it, I’d say go for it. It’s the best that Xbox themselves provide, but not the best on the market.

This is a good premium feeling controller with some good weight to it and the functionality of the adjustments you can make is nice. The only downside is that for this model the paddles in the back and the different sized thumb sticks are not included compared to the higher priced model that come with those accessories. I do love the color options that are available in this version.

This has been my first xbox elite controller and it has been the best controller ever. It feels amazing in hand and has a nice weight to it! The sticks don’t stick at all and they glide around with ease! I also love that I can change the d-pad and the analog sticks. I got the white controller and ordered some purple paddles, analog sticks, and d-pad and it looks amazing! Would definitely recommend this controller to anyone that enjoys to game!
