A must have even for the casual player
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The best Xbox controller! It is hard for me to imagine going back to the standard controller. The weight and hold of the controller and the exclusion of the extras make this controller a bargain.

Elite Series 2 Controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good controller, nice to not have to deal with batteries. Also nice to be able to customize it with different joysticks etc to get the feel that is desired.

Excellent Controller
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Though a little on the pricey end, i love my elite series controller. The build and quality of the controller is perfect and it’s definitely the best looking and especially best feeling controller I’ve probably ever used. Would recommend to anyone willing to splurge for the best quality you can buy. Definitely do research on if you’re willing to deal with the problems the controller may get over time, mostly just bumpers being unresponsive for some reason. That is the only downside and I wish a newer model would address this problem in the future or else it would really really be a perfect controller.

Works great feels great in my hands
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s really good it feels comfortable. I have no issues with it works great. The only problem I had that it doesn’t like work with Bluetooth with my PC but I think I have a bad Bluetooth receiver on my PC so that is not something I have against the controller I plug. It’s a braided wire that comes with it and it works really great. Mind you it is a cheaper version of the elite so it doesn’t come with the back paddle. You have to buy those separately, but I don’t actually use them much so I don’t worry about it.

Worth the Money IMO
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller has been awesome so far, I really like that you can change the tension in the thumb sticks. Textured grip is great for sweaty hands too. Battery life is great. It’s expensive but whatever I love it so far. Get some geek squad protection just in case

Awesome Purchase...10/10 Definitely Recommend
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My wife bought this for me, along with several other peripheral items, and my new X Box X series, for Christmas 2025. It's been amazing! The sensitivity and ease of use is great. I most definitely would recommend and/or repurchase this controller/brand again!

Quality Construction

Great controller except for 1 issue.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very nice controller, easy to adjust to your requirements. Buttons are crisp and able to be adjusted as are the joysticks. The only draw back is a known issue with these controllers, stick drift. I had to return my first one after 5 months due to extreme drift in the left controller.

Sets the gold standard for controllers.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I never really understand limited I'd been using standard controllers are until getting the Xbox Elite controller. With the paddles and customization I can react faster and my hands are more comfortable after long gaming sessions. Doesn't matter if I'm gaming casually or competitively using this controller has become a must.

The ultimate upgrade for my Alienware R16 setup
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great for fast paced gaming/custom controls.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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).
