Customer Ratings & Reviews

Even better than the original. Love the feel of it and love the customisation.

Great controller with excellent features. Only problem, is the issues these controllers tend to develop. Personally, I have gone through at least half a dozen of these controllers since they debuted. Stick drift is a gaurentee. Pretty smooth out of the box, but eventually, they'll break in and its not pretty. Bumpers usually are the next to fail. Haven't had issues with the series 2, as far as rubber grips peeling off. Microsoft has been aware of these issues for quite some time. Doesn't seem like they care, even with the looming class-action lawsuit over these contollers. For the price point, I wouldn't say these are worth it. Only reason i bought another one over the Turtle Beach Stealth, is the elite can still accomadate for the M80 mixamp for Astro A40's. For a little extra $, get something with Hall-effect sticks. They dont break as easy.

Controller is fantastic! After two years it has worked really well. Little stick drift in the right stick, but nothing that renders it unusable.

First time owning, and it feels very good to use. The paddles take a little use to getting familiar with, but overall nice controller.

If you're looking for an obvious gaming edge this controller is what you're looking for. Back paddles should be considered illegal NEVER remove your fingers from the analogs. Controller itself is slick looking buttons are so easy to switch, comes with multiple replacement analogs different heights/styles (concave or bubbled). Yes controller is a bit expensive but if you're into competitive gaming or just into expensive fancy looking things then buy this right now and don't look back..

The controller is awesome i highly recommend this for anyone that's a gamer. I also recommend getting the warranty.

I love this controller. Great fit for my hands. I bought this to replace an older Elite (4 years old) that was having some issues. I signed up for Best Buy Total before I bought this one.

Excellent controller! Can feel the quality that went into the product. Much better fit to the hand vs the original control from an Xbox one. Best Buy did an amazing job at answering all of my questions did so with a positive attitude and huge smile. Kudos to Microsoft for the remote design and Best Buy for thir amazing service!

The weight to it just feels right, the battery life is amazing

I had the elite series one and that was great until I started getting ghost movements in the left joystick. The series 2 Elite feels a bit better with the added grips and I LOVE the recharging feature. Been playing 7 days straight still haven’t needed to recharge the remote. And this is 5-7 hours a day playing. I love that I can map the triggers in the back for games like APEX and Smite. Very customizable. It is expensive, but you “feel” the difference. I think a little cheaper and it’s 100% hands down the best controller ever.

Love the customization options and this controller will elevate your game to keep your thumbs on the sticks. The problem is stick dift will hit within a year and continue to get worse. The bumpers will also mess up and become unresponsive. This happen on my original elite and i went back with a core for cheaper and it was great Nov 2023 until Dec 2025.

Wanted to upgrade from my original V1 I had and glad I did. Looks clean and is great for gaming. Wish it came with the case though.

My new game controller works amazing I play better and move my game play faster.

Awesome controller! Has many customizable options and settings that can be stored for different games. A little pricy but worth it.

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

Smooth game play, easy to manage, no issues. Love the charging dock and battery indicator

My very first Elite controller. The grip is nice. Paddles are a life changer move. The different sticks also make it very customizable

I love the controller and the buttons on the back. But some times the front buttons (A,B,X,Y) are not very responsive. Even so the controller it’s awesome.

Best controller I have used nice rechargeable batteries long battery life customize to your liking

The controller is awesome if it doesn’t have some kind of fault. I had to return the first one because some buttons were funky, but the second one is perfect! (I highly recommend getting the warranty)
