Customer Ratings & Reviews

Controller has a great weight. Button and joysticks feel mroe accurate.

I had the first Elite controller before this, and it's a definite 95% upgrade. This controller is great quality, substantial and weighty in a satisfying way, and the customization options work wonders. The main downside is in the comparison to the original model. For whatever reason, Microsoft has decided you only need one long thumbstick and one domed thumbstick — which makes no sense, because there are two thumbsticks on this controller. You have two standard, two "classic" (which are basically identical to the standard), then one long and one domed. I loved the two long thumbsticks on my old Elite controller because they allow for more precise movements and cramp my hands far less... but these thumbsticks are incompatible with the original Elite controller, which can only be a financial decision for Microsoft. That doesn't make sense either, though, because they don't sell additional thumbsticks. I suppose I need to find a friend with one of these who doesn't use the long thumbsticks and trade their long one for my domed one... and that's ridiculous. Additionally, there are reviews online that state some of the A/B/X/Y buttons don't always work. I have this issue too, where my button presses randomly don't work. The buttons are also spongy. This is inexcusable at this price point, from a first-party company... but because of the paddles, I rarely use the buttons anyway so it doesn't break the deal for me. Mapping those buttons to the paddles greatly enhances gameplay (you can leave your right thumb on the thumbstick and still use A/B/X/Y, even multiple simultaneously, and that's a HUGE perk!) so I definitely recommend that. You can remap A/B/X/Y if you want, also, to other functions. Don't neglect the controller configuration app on the Xbox One or Series X|S. That's where you truly maximize this controller, to set up custom travel distances on thumbsticks and triggers and remap controls. You can have three separate profiles on the controller, as well as a default which unfortunately isn't editable. I have mine set up with default, FPS, racing, and RPG settings to maximize experience in different game types I play — this controller is most useful, in my experience, in FPS and racing games. Online FPS games will see substantial benefits for you if you use this controller well, and racing games (I play Forza Motorsport/Horizon games) are much better with this controller set up with paddles and configured travel distances. Honestly, using this controller for online FPS and racing games feels like borderline cheating sometimes. You can jump or crouch while you turn/move/fire, ALL AT ONCE, in an FPS game. In a racing game, you can customize your gas and brake pedals as well as steering. Seriously, this is huge for both genres.

This is the best controller on the market that isn't the full Elite Series 2. I have one of those that's out of warranty which has issues with the bumpers, so I picked this up as a cheaper replacement. Since I already have the full Series 2 system, this is all I need. Very comfortable, easy setup, works great.

I’ve been using this brand for years and it hasn’t let me down yet.

My son loves this controller says he's got the best money can buy. so im very happy with this purchase

Love elite controllers. Feel more solid than the normal ones and love the ability to modify.

Great controller. The added weight, adjustable tension on the joysticks, and overall feel surpass the standard controller. Highly recommended to gamers who want a more substantial controller.

Super weighty and premium in terms of feel. Pairs quickly and works without interruptions in my experience. Battery life is great! I got about a week and a half of heavy use out of it on a single charge. Costs a lot, but totally worth it in my book.

the best controller for the price lots works as it should have had no problems

Great responsive controller and very durable. The paddles are in perfect spots

I absolutely love this I like how you can change out the thumb sticks anytime and the buttons on the back of it are very useful would definitely buy this again

So far so good. I've been using it for a month now and no issues. Hopefully this holds up. 1 year warranty. But again so far so good. I purchased this knowing i didn't feel the need for the extras , like the paddles. But maybe 1 day I'll change my mind. A full Charge on this controller last for a long while. About 30 to 40 hours on a single charge. Love the white and black color scheme. I never used the black elite 2 version. So i can't compare the two. But Overall I'm happy with this controller.

What a great gift. This remote will never net you down.

If you like the classic feel of Xbox controllers with an upgraded feel, then the Elite 2 is for you. Though the warranty plan is recommended as most times these do start wearing out.

I love the xbox eilte controllers. The dumbsticks and the grips feel are really smooth. It works well when connecting to your PC.

It’s an elite what do you expect 10/10 controller all around

amazing controller easy to use will buy again if i need another controller would recommend this controller

I liked the weight and feel of the controller, with the rubber grips and adjustable triggers for short throw. Awesome. Highly recommend

great feel of a controller. I love the elite back buttons too. The interchangeable joysticks are great for longevity.

For me is excellent and from the price point i cannot complain easy yo use to set up and I love I don’t have to use AA batteries
