Customer Ratings & Reviews

Awesome item. My son loved this item for Christmas. He has used it non-stop since he opened it.

Controller feels great, paddles take time to get used to, only complaint is both lb and rb stopped workikg besides every few clicks after about a year.

The feeling in my hands that this controller gives me I feel like what it would be like to pull out Excalibur, so she is named just that. Customization is 'preme, as is the feel, function and pretty much everything about this thing. Was reluctant with all the bad reviews it gets nut I don't regret a thing.

Its a little exspensive but SOOOO good. If you have the extra cash or can get an open box like i did its totally worth it.

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.

Affordable upgrade that hits the mark. Level-up your gaming experience.

its a Fantastic controller fir both casual and if you take gaming seriously

Awesome controller. Feels heavy (in a good way) and good quality. Only shame is it doesnt come with the extra buttons at the back but they can be bought separately. Companion apps allow for nice customization.

Overall this controller is as it is marketed “elite”. The controller feels premium. Holding it side by side with a standard xbox controller this one feels way better. Totally would recommend.

Im usually not a Xbox player but everything felt very high quality to the touch very smooth and overall worth it

You haven’t felt a real controller until you’ve gotten yourself an elite controller

Can feel the difference. Great upgrade. Definitely recommend.

It’s been over a year and I started experiencing problems it was perfect up until now didn’t have complaints up until now I thought it would last longer but it was good while it lasted it still works just annoying things like scrolling crazy fast for no reason and moving my aiming slightly.

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!

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

Second Xbox elite controller I’ve owned. Does not come with grip paddles but works great with paddles from previous controller

Its a good controller if you want back paddles you have to get the kit but it comes with a case so thats decent all in all its a good controller and best buy has good service

Great controller but after a few years of playing there is some stick drift sometimes but besides that I love it. Super comfortable.

So I purchased the Elite Series 2 controller, last year when it first came out, I actually swapped it for my original Elite controller (I had gone through a few of those as the rubber on the back came off them easily but that's another story). I was taken aback by the fact that the controller has a built-in battery. This is good in theory but the long term ramification is that eventually, the battery won't hold a charge as long as it once did, and eventually, it won't hold a charge at all. This is problematic since you have no way of swapping the battery out as you could in any other controller. But, the reason I'm writing this review now is that I'm having an issue that so many other people are having, my Series 2 is starting to have button response issues. More specifically the right bumper is barely registering my pressing it and sometimes doesn't seem to acknowledge it at all. I have an extended warranty with Best Buy but they are unable to replace it due to the fact that they don't have anymore. They suggested that I contact Microsoft about replacing the controller, but with a mere 90-day limited warranty, that ensures that by the time most people have issues like mine, they will be well outside of the manufacturer's warranty period. It's a real shame because the controller when it works is pretty good, the weight is satisfying and when everything works it's a very responsive controller. But I can't recommend the controller knowing that it probably won't even make it a full year with standard use.

Good for change custom color plus long lasting batterry
