Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had two original Elite Controllers. I enjoyed the feel and the features but had quite a few issues with the bumpers on my first one and the second one I had started having issues with the left stick drifting a lot. Since I had the warranty plan I brought it back and upgraded to the Series 2, It feels like they upgraded the shape and it feels better than the one. The grips also feel better and seem like they have less chance of peeling off as it did with my first Elite. The shape and placement of the top paddles feel better. My favorite new feature is the extra setting on the triggers. Great for FPS and other games where it's nice to just have a quick click rather than a long pull. I also recommend the Best Buy warranty with a controller this expensive. Sure it's more expensive on an already expensive controller but paying the extra money now is worth it to be able to upgrade to a new controller down the road if needed.

I like it a lot, but I feel like it was overpriced, even though it's being sold as a premium product. I really like the extra buttons on the back, and the fact that you can reprogram all the buttons. The extra long thumb stick is nice for extra precision. It feels good in the hands. It's heavier than the stock controllers, but not so much that it gets tiring to hold. The adjustable trigger travel distance is cool for shooters where you have to react quickly. The rubberized hand grips feel nice and keep my hands relatively cool. It comes with a nice zippered travel case with a built-in charging dock that can be used while it's in the case, or it can be removed from the case and used separately to charge the controller. I don't plan to take this anywhere, but I keep it in the case, next to my TV. I leave it closed, but unzipped, so it's still easy to access, but it keeps it from getting dust on it (I don't get time to play as often as I would like) Overall, if you play a lot of Xbox, it's probably a worthwhile investment.

Comparing this with the series X stock controller. A significant improvement. Good quality weight. Quality metal used. I do wish there were resistive triggers like on the PS5 or a Taptic Engine instead of a traditional vibration motor, but still a fantastic, click controller.

Good controller though I don't really like the Xbox controller layout. starting to get stick drift after a little over 1 year. mainly used by 10/11 yr old.

by far one of the best controllers i've owned. I used to play with the PDP xbox controller with the mappable buttons on the back but stick drift on those are the worst after 2 weeks of using. and custom controllers from online such as scuf are too expensive. For the price I got for these, which was the open box-excellent, it felt brand new still and I got it for a steal with the price plus the discounts I got from my points here at bestbuy. so if you were to upgrade your xbox controller, this is the one to go for!! DID I MENTION, there are 3 different button profiles you can save for different types of games??! wish I got it sooner but glad i made the investment on this, LOVE IT!!!

Great controller good weight and comfortable to hold.

Purchased this to go along with a new Xbox Series S that I purchased at the same time. This replaced an older Elite (series 1). NOTE THAT THIS ONE DOES NOT COME WITH THE PADDLES OR EXTRA THUMB STICKS. If you want those, be sure to get the model WITH those items included. Microsoft sells the paddles & thumb sticks as a separate package if you get this model and change your mind later and want to add them. This controller works great. Lots of adjustments in the Xbox Accessories app on your Xbox. I use all four paddles and you can program each paddle for a different function. You can easily switch between three pre-set configurations with the button on the controller. You can also set the color of the Xbox light per configuration so it’s easy to tell which config you’re on.

Way better than standered controller. If you have the money definitely buy this. Read description doesn't come withe triggers and all just controller. Still awesome

Best controller on the market, period. I use this for almost all my gaming on my Alienware R16 and the build quality is night and day compared to a standard controller. The adjustable-tension sticks and paddles make a huge difference in feel and precision. If you’re serious about gaming on a PC or console, it’s worth every penny.

Purchase the controller for my brother’s birthday and he loves it. Love the weight of it, feeling of the grip in your hands, and the look of it.

Amazing controller overall. had it for 2 months and i do say it is durable since i do have a little sister who touches everything and is able to starch on things easily. i feel like there's drift at times but you can configure the controller to no do so. it's very versatile and i recommend it for its fast set up

A very premium controller with the premium experience to match. While I have a few qualms with the Xbox Accessory Software App that you would utilize the remap the controller's paddles, the controller itself played very well through the various FPS and RPG games I used it for, and I had zero issues setting it up with my computer and with Steam. Would recommend for anyone who wants to really have the most premium customizable controller experience.

Confortable grips and durable. Like enough to buy a second one.

From the weight, the tactile grips, the precision of the joysticks... i love this controller. I use on both xbox and PC.

This is the best controller for the Xbox, hands down!!

I'm not a huge gamer that uses the extra paddles. However, the controller is really comfortable and nice to use. The trigger locks are even nice to experiment with in between games. However, I've heard of a couple people that have had problems with theirs right out of the box. So, if you get one that has everything working you should enjoy it.

This controller really is the elite of all controllers. The elite has multiple purpose the ability to aim and hit targets that are moving at a fast pace . This controller is comfortable and easy to get the hang of. WAY BETTER THAN SCUFF. Would recommend

I was a little hesitant to purchase this after reading some of the reviews, but I'm glad i did. I play a lot of FPS games and this controller has been worth it. The feel of the controller along with the various settings you can customize has been nothing short of awesome.

Its comfortable, sturdy and well made. The customization options are really worth it, especially being able to adjust tension on the joysticks. Being able to change things for your playing style is well worth it. The cost is a bit high though.

The Best Controller I have ever owned. Great Battery Life, Great Feel and customizable! I was skeptical at first because of price, but I got it on sale and should have purchased it sooner! If you are considering it, don't hesitate, just buy it!
