Customer Ratings & Reviews

You can choose anything, but the Xbox chooses you.

I love this controller. It looks and feels like a quality piece of kit. Sadly as good as it is I find it breaks often. Definitely recommend getting a replacement warranty on this controller. I expect a controller to fail eventually but this thing always has a failure within a year. I’m by no means hard on my controller either I in fact take great care of my stuff. For nearly $200 I’d like this thing to not have a back button that fails to register after 6 months of use. I still rate it high because it is arguably one of the best controllers ever made but it seems they cheaped out on some components.

Husband loves it. Hasn’t had any issues and it’s held up

It does what a controller is supposed to do control a game but wait it has extra buttons! Kidding it does the same thing as a cheapo that comes with your console and if you are sweaty enough to need the ability to adjust your joystick resistance or your trigger engagement/pull distance than this is 100% for you

Goodgooloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooodooood

I like the interchangeable D-Pad and removable triggers, It took a while to get use to setting up the different profiles and programming them but over all I like it.

Solid product. Love that it was discounted due to color! LoL

Second purchase for kiddos. Great controller. No changing batteries, just charge. Many configurations to suit needs for different games. Highly recommend

My son loves this controller they last forever this is the second one he has had in the last 8 years

Grate controller always my number one choice. I’ve owned three already.

This is the 2nd Elite controller I got within 6 months and the joysticks are sticking again to the point you can't play. For the price, this is a complete joke. It's not a BestBuy issue, but a manufacturing issue. I don't like that I had to pay for a warranty twice ($120) to make sure I can replace again. At this point, I don't want another controller, I just want my money back. Not worth it, look at something else.

Great controller, no issues with it at all. If you already own the paddles this is the perfect controller for you.

I’m a light ‘gamer’ with an obsession for new hardware. Compared to the in-box controller, the XE2 is a no-brainer. Compared to the XE1, things get a little closer. Aesthetically, the E2 looks better imo. Maybe it’s just because it’s different than the first gen... who knows. The feel... Feeling the controller in hand is everything I expected, and wanted. The internal battery makes the back less-crammed. The triggers feel bitter-smooth. The analog sticks, d-pads, paddles, etc are all great. The paddles are smaller and this leads to a better feel and less accidental hits... EXCEPT when switching the trigger ‘pull’ switch from its lowest (closest to paddles) setting. I’ll get used to it. The analog stick tension customization is cool, though I wish a tool wasn’t needed, but I get it. Kind of. The profile switcher is to my liking, as is the USB-C input so I’m not constantly flipping it back and forth to get it to fit the port (first world problems). The included dock is a nice touch and has magnets for proper seating. I love magnets... The case is nice and the port is cool, I guess. If you aren’t going to customize the controller via the Xbox accessories app (or whatever they call it), then this controller isn’t for you. Hope this helps someone out there!

Picked this up on sale, it works exactly as advertised and does well as a replacement for my older controller that had stopped working.

I’ve had an elite controller in the past that had some issues (button sticking, mild stick drift even after adjustment). This one feels like they finally have it figured it out. I haven’t had any issues. I love being able to map buttons to the extra triggers and how responsive the controls are. Great for fast paced games (ARPGS, FPS, Battle Royales).

I’m not a pro-gamer, and I know my PC gaming wasd breathen might look down their collective noses at an “elite controller,” but this has been a super worthwhile purchase for a few reasons (coming from an Xbox/pc controller that had the gold texture grips and AA batteries): 1) rechargeable battery is so much better than the removable AA. Charge lasts WAY longer. 2) USB-C, because in 2021 ain’t no got time for usb-a (a long and successful life). 3) I find the wireless response time to be much better than previous controller. Quick note: I have an usb Xbox wireless adapter, never in my life have I been able to get any controller working over just Bluetooth. Save yourself a headache and get the wireless adapter if you’re using this with Windows. 4) The weight is perfect, you could use it to club someone with if you have to but that’s because of the density, not because it’s a massive lead weight. Hands feel great wielding this bad boy. Yeah it’s not cheap, but you know where the money went when you hold it in your hand.

Always need a backup controller. Got it on sale for $99.

Easy to connect to different devices and great feel in my hands

By far one of the best controllers I’ve ever purchased!

Amazing controller. What a difference. The weight and balance is night and day compared to a stock controller. The ability to fine tune the tension of the toggles is amazing. Any serious gamer should own one.
