Customer Ratings & Reviews

I ordered an XBox Elite controller online for a Christmas gift and it was ready to pick up less then 2 hours later at my local Best Buy store. Once i went into the store. I was waited on immediately, got the controller within 2 mins. No hassel or anything. Great overall experience and I will continue to order my electronics from Besy But. Excellent self help and customer service. An this is not the dirst time.

A solid controller with plenty of options to help level up your game

Fantastic controller! Been eyeing this one for a while now, and decided that while I'm waiting for the Series X to get back in stock I'd finally treat myself to the controller. I haven't weighed the controller, but I'd estimate it's maybe 40-50% heavier than a standard controller, which is nice to me. The finish looks better than the standard controller and is more "stealth" matte in appearance, and the rubberized grips really do form a subtle grip to my hands within a few minutes (my hands don't sweat during gaming sessions, your mileage may vary). I removed the two lower paddles for the time being and have the two upper paddles set for "sprint" and "reload/interact" in the first profile. It's nice to not take my thumb off of the right stick to tap X to reload. I haven't experimented with the other stick options yet, but I did put the normal D-pad selector on (they're magnetic, so simply pop one off and put the other on). The round D-pad just didn't feel natural, and in both cases the D-pad click is much more definitive and audible than a standard controller...it's the only nitpick I have, but I can live with it. My box does have a FST-00001 label on it, but the manufacturing date puts it in the early part of October 2020. I don't know if Microsoft just gave up on the FST-00008 labels or not, and the Best Buy guys I posed the question to didn't know what I was talking about. They were surprised when I pointed out the model number on the shelf tag didn't match the one on the box. I haven't perceived any of the quality issues that plagued the earlier controller models (no stick drift, bumper feel solid, all LEDs work), so hopefully all will be well. All in all, I like it. I've only been using it for a couple of weeks or so, and when I pick up a plain old regular controller, my middle fingers instinctively look for the paddles, and only then do I realize how accustomed I am to the controller already.

This controller handles well and lasts a long time

Best controller ive had it does have drifting issues after a year

This controller is a great upgrade to the original

Phenomenal for gaming, better than a Dualsense that’s got sure

Great product workd like a charm. I wish I had a store closer to me.

Love the remappable buttonscand paddles! More color options would be nice

My son is a gamer, he was so bliwn away when i gave it to him. He said it was the one he's had his eyes on.

Great controller. I’m glad Microsoft decided to sell this without the case for cheaper.

Pretty good controller, I like the customizable triggers and button layout

Had the gen 1 for a long time. They definitely improved the gen 2 would definitely recommend

Love the extra grip and buttons. Although after a couple months using the remote, either the left joystick or right bumper would begin malfunctioning. Best to put a warranty on it just in case this happens.

Great controller just wish they were a little more durable. Probably the best all around premium controller all things considered. Hall effect thumbsticks would make it essentially perfect.

this is an amazing controller my only issue is the stick drift. I have bought two of these in a used/ newish condition and both has a left stick drift. there are ways to fix it on your own and if that the case this controller works great

Feels great and built in battery. Must have is you play online gaming

Best premium xbox controller without the Hall effect joysticks. The materials that dampened the plastic cheap feel. Iconic xbox controller hand position. Not worth the regular price. Wait for a sale or open box.

Perfect controller, great build and battery life great buy

I had an Elite Series 2 for over a year. Many buttons failed. Wanting to keep the high end controller experience continue, i opted for the Core. Bery peased. Great feel. A few button misses which are to be expected with an Elite. Its common but not a big deal.
