Customer Ratings & Reviews

Honestly, I was skeptical as I had the elite 1 and didn't see how it was going to be improved on. Well, internal reachable battery for one. Great feel on both sticks for 2 and included charger.

My son loves it and I had one too! Very responsive

Love this controller if you want to step your game up than make sure you get one of these and dont forget your warranty so if it brakes you can get a new one and a new warranty for a quarter of the price

I like the new additions to this controller over the first Elite controller, but there are a couple things I don't like as much as the first Elite controller. Such as the buttons are a lot louder the both my Elite v1 controllers. Second and most annoying is that on the Elite v1 controller you barely have to tap the A button to get it to register on the V2 I had to return the first one I received because the A button half the time would not register and the second one is the same way if not a little worse. You definitely have to push the A button all the way down and sometimes it still don't register. The last issue is that it like many other people (mainly YouTube reviews) have mentioned it continuously disconnects from my Xbox One X. Battery life seems to live up to what is stated of 40 hrs. I do enjoy the grip of the V2 more than the original even though I had changed my back grips on my V1 with Scuff. I do recommend for those that don't have the Elite V1, but if you already have the V1 I probably would not recommend spending the money for the upgrade.

Son was very happy with it on Christmas morning. Uses it alot!

Works great as a PC gaming controller, i was glad to upgrade to this model

I really wanted to like this controller but the design quality just hasn't been good as has all xbox controllers that has come out from the launch of Xbox One X/S to the current Series X/S. As a long time xbox user, you could tell right away the quality of controllers have diminished as soon as you hold one in your hand. I was really hoping the Elite Series would be different and I could justify paying the price tag. Unfortunately, I experienced similar problems as other reviews had stated not once but both times. On the original controller I purchased, the right trigger and Y button were unresponsive exactly %50 of the time. I brought it in and exchanged it for a new one. The second one seemed to be fine at first aside from the right bumper being unresponsive sometimes and the A button sticking every so often but after a month I started experiencing wireless connection issues. The middle xbox light on the controller would dim a little bit and disconnects from the xbox. Even though the controller is still powered on, the controller is completely unresponsive until the middle light is fully lit, which takes about 15-25 seconds each time. It only happened sporadically at first but now it'll keep happening unless I have the controller plugged in. Of course now it's past the return date and Microsoft stores are now non-existent so I can't go anywhere to exchange it again. I could go through the online warranty process but would likely receive another used/refurbished item in return. But at this point I don't know if I would even want another one.

The controller has been working great it exactly what I wanted, I’ve been using it for 3 weeks so far and playing with it has been fun. I would recommend if you want an elite controller without the other accessories.

The texture grip is comfortable and the customization through the pc and xbox apps are where this controller really becomes pro. Paired with Scuff rear triggers this is great all around.

I’ve always used the controllers that come with the Xbox system, but then I bought the elite. GET YOU ONE! The mapping, feel, and tweaks you can do with this controller is far beyond my expectations. Worth the money.

Best value within the various color choices. Overall the Elite controllers are legit.

Overall a really good controller. The only downside is it is USB rechargeable instead of batteries (my preference). I also does not have a screen shot button

Best headphones for Xbox! Had the Steel Series 9x but after using these I love em!

Awesome, love everything being magnetic so instead of breaking it just comes off!!

The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller is a must if you are a hardcore gamer. I've read some reviews about it having stick drift after a couple of months of use but, I have not experienced anything in my 2 months of owning it. After using this controller it's hard for me to use a regular controller because of the remapping done to the back paddles. Overall though it's worth it if you play a lot of games.

I love the weight to the controller as well as the grip but the sticks last for way longer then standard controllers I’m kind of an aggressive player/ user so the durability goes a long way controller lasts through all of my gaming sessions with no issues

The ability to adjust the joy stick tension and travel length for the trigger levers is a win win for me.

I know its the "core" but i thought you would at lease get one set of paddles. Its okay that i didnt because 3rd party on amazon was only $13 for the paddles so you save a ton not getting the case and other accessories.

So I bought two of these. One from Best Buy and one from Game Stop. For my 22 year old and 12 year old sons. I hate paying for controllers because they break them so easily but I read the reviews and they were all good. First day my oldest had it he dropped it down the stairs, spilled soda on it and it was thrown off the wall a couple times. Not a mark. Or scratch. Nothing. This thing held up through it all. Very well made. And the one from game stop was more expensive and that's the one my other son had and when we took it out of the box it was used and it wasn't supposed to be. Definitely worth the money as long as you buy it from Best Buy.

I honest didn't think an elite controller would feel any different. Holy crap was I wrong. This thing is AMAZING. Feels perfect in my hands. Love the weight. Being able to swap about joysticks with different versions is amazing. Love the quick buttons on the backside. Battery life is amazing. Definitely worth the price if you do a lot of gaming.
