Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love these controllers! Only downside is stick drift after a year or so.

Good quality compared to standard xbox controller. Was unsure at first if i wanted to order but after playing with it and being able to adjust the triggers im glad i purchased.

Feels so comfortable in my hands when playing it’s a huge step up from a basic controller and how you can customize is awesome i definitely recommend

This is a great deal if you already have the paddles for the back! Very satisfied to not have to buy a whole new setup when im just in need of the core controller!

Overall, I LOVE this controller, but I have three comments on it, one major: 1) Immediately upon purchasing it, the A button started sticking. I looked up the issue and this was somewhat common, but people said that it got better with wear over time. This was the case for me as well, so no more issues here 2) (the major one) At the shortest trigger pull setting, the right trigger squeaks SO LOUDLY, that others in the same party can often times hear it over my mic. It’s extremely annoying and I want to know if there is a way to fix this. 3) Not a huge deal, but the controller has an unnoticeable offset in the grips. This is only apparent when set on a flat surface. The controller will rock maybe 0.3-1.0mm. This may be the cause of that trigger squeak, though that is just a theory. These three negative comments aside, this controller is EXCELLENT. The grips are actually extremely durable and the surface stays pretty clean, with no real marring or scratches. Overall, I love this controller.

Excellent feel and fantastic look! This controller is lighter than the elite 2 in black which makes seem like a cross between the standard controllers and the elite 2 and it costs less than the elite 2 black. Get it!

Yes this is an expensive controller but Microsoft knocked this one out of the park! Love the grip and all of the customizations including making the sticks tight and loose. If you are a competitive gamer especially fps the back paddles are key! Being able to jump and slide while aiming using your sticks has never been easier. I would recommend to anyone!

Best controller. Proce is a bit high but still worth it. Always get geek squad warranty. Best place ro purchase your controller.

I absolutely love this controller 10/10 best controller I’ve ever had I recommend this product

Bought it for my son for his Xbox. He loves it. seems durable.

Love this controller so far! Hoping i dont run into same issues as past versions

The customization of this controller is awesome! The paddles and trigger locks are a game changer.. There is a learning curve to the paddles, I suggest starting with two paddles on the back and getting those down first. When you feel this controller in your hand, you will not want to ever pick up a regular Xbox controller again. Highly recommend.

I was tired of buying a new controller every 3 months so I decided to upgrade to one made with durable components. I’ve owned two of these controllers. I returned the first one due to stick drift. There was no problem with the return and my new controller is working great. I highly recommend upgrading to the elite controller 2.

Like my son play all the have times and say mom go to the Best Buy because this store have guarantee to the all customer.

I really love this controller! Originally purchased an elite series 2, and traded for this and haven’t looked back. I bought some aftermarket paddles and I’m good to go for pretty much anything I could want to control in a game. I have found that it’s super helpful to map the L3 and R3 button clicks to the bottom paddles. That is worth the price of admission alone the triggers feel amazing, the grips in your hands on your skin just feel next level. I recently purchased an Xbox to play Starfield being a PS5 I thought I was going to have problems with the controller, but I prefer this one to the PlayStation. If you are a new Xbox user go for this upgrade with confidence!

Maybe I just got lucky but this is the first Elite Series 2 controller I've purchased without button issues right out of the box. After a few attempts to get a working controller through Microsoft's warranty program, I finally decided to just return the $179 version. I saw this $129 controller in store and decided to take one more stab at it, maybe they'd finally resolved their issues. At first glance -- it does appear to work way better than the $179 verison, and it still has all the comfortable heft that the previous controller has. The only downside is that this version doesn't come with the charging case and extra paddles/thumbsticks. On the upside, Microsoft lets you keep the paddles/thumbsticks from the mainline Series 2 controller when replacing under warranty, so I have plenty of those laying around! :D

Controller is very durable. It’s easy to use. Bluetooth was easy to connect. The paddles come in handy

Have had 2 of these previously they work great for the price never any issues.

Waited for the 2nd version and I'm glad. This is a great controller and certainly worth the $ compared to the regular controllers. The adjustability sets it apart but the durability is all I care about. Feels good in your hand. If you've been on the bubble about getting it don't hesitate.

I personally like the added weight when playing along with the no slip grips makes for a enjoyable playing experience. The 3 trigger settings along with fine tuning the analog sticks comes in very handy. Upgraded from the Elite First addition. If you had the first one you will love this one even more.
