Customer Ratings & Reviews

was a gift for my boyfriend, he was really excited when he saw what I have for him, he told me that is the best control for the xbox

This controller definitely comes with a price premium and I was hesitant to shell out that much for a controller, but with my original Elite on its last leg after years of use, I decided to give it a chance and I was not disappointed. First off, it's very comfortable- I love the grips they chose and how they made them go all the way around the controller this time. I also like that they've added a grip texture to the shoulder buttons, a nice touch. Like the original, this one includes 3 sets of thumb sticks. This time however, they're a little different. I think it has a set of 360 control sticks this time, at least they feel that way to me. I've been playing around with a few different ones and I've enjoyed using them all for different games. The d-pad of course is pretty much the same and that's not much of an issue. Both the d-pad and the circular d-pad are fantastic. The paddles are similar to the original but have a few differences. They're a little smaller and now they don't feel like they get in the way. And this time it feels like they require a little more effort to press them in, which is a good thing to me. I've had way less accidental presses with the new paddles. Like the old Elite, this one includes the same carrying case and braided charging cable, which is great. But you also get the ability to charge your controller while it's in its case thanks to the charger pass-through slot and the charging dock that's included, which is a very welcomed addition. You also get a rechargeable battery included (finally!). However, it is non-removable unless you take the controller apart. You also get 3 on-board profiles plus the default profile that you can change with the press of a button, and of course you store hundreds more on the Xbox accessories app. There are many other new features packed into this controller that you'll have to research yourself, but overall I'd definitely recommend this to anyone that was a fan of the original Elite. Microsoft has pretty much fixed every issue that the first one had and improved on so many things.

These controllers are great, until their not. I've owned several over the last few years and they typically stay good for around 8-12 months, at that point you will most likely get stick drift and/or one of the top buttons wears out. Overall its a good controller, but they arent built to last.

Really just a standard controller with glorified paddles. In fact, there's even a reduction of some features on this version on the controller. No share button and cheap shallow plastic clicky buttons for example. I've even had to send my Black Elite Series 2 in for repairs twice. Faulty bumper, faulty paddle. For the money, you could get an infinitely nicer controller from another brand. I'd feel comfortable paying about $80 for one of these, considering the warranty and features. Anything more and you're better off buying something else.

I bought a lots of other brand but this one are my favorite, its so comfortable so light and smooth

Great it's my favorite controller. I love the removable paddles for various types of games.

Excellent quality, works 100%, good packaging and fast delivery. Great options for picking up the product.

This elite controller is just what I needed. Customizable and the build quality is amazing. Super easy to sync with Xbox/PC.

Great buy for an open box deal def recommend them, just be sure to open it and check everything

High quality construction. I like that you can buy the accessories separately. Charge lasts a long time. Great custom options.

great controller and has a nice weight to it-perfect for pc and i would consider an 8bitdo ultimate 2 as well

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.

Best controller on the market imo. Would definitely recommend
