Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great controller. It has perfect weight and feel. The case and battery pack is awesome.

Got for my son. He loves it. Better than his previous one.

Controller feels and works great. The triggers on the back make my reaction times quicker especially on first person shooters! Not to mention this controller has a built in battery, so no more batteries or battery packs needed like regular Xbox controllers. My only complaint is that it isn’t slightly cheaper so more folks can easily afford it!

I highly recommend this controller, it has been such an upgrade from the basic Xbox controller. Everything about it is just easier to play shooter, sports, and basic games.

Many people told me not to purchase due to a common stick drift problem that comes about. But after almost a year with it I’ve never experienced any problems it’s been very reliable comfortable in hand and it is very customizable

While this contorller does not have the “premium feel” as its older brother, it feels good to have another more durable Elite contoller in my hands. Hands down one of the best contollers made.

Controller is smooth a lil heavy very little stick drift overall a good controller

It works great all optional buttons too, i play it for drifting shooting and all.

This controller is an absolute game changer. I haven't really been able to take full advantage of its capabilities, but the configurations are unreal. Just the feel of this thing is far more superior than the standard Series X controllers. The price is justified just be sure to purchase this item with Total Tech Membership or a credit card with insurance coverage, to ease the price point sting. If you protect this purchase its definitely worth the price.

Great controller. Trigger work well and the feel is great. I just find myself clicking the “A” button and it doesn’t always go through.

I personally love the controller it's heavier than the other one so it feels better in your hands and the overall quality is better and the thumb sticks and pad are detachable if you choose to replace them with different colors you can.

Really the best option for Xbox controllers. If you are aggressive with your controllers like me plan on needing a new one every 1.5 years. Get the Elite controller that comes with the paddles, and then just get this core controller after you break a button.

The Elite Series 2 is a great controller until it inevitably breaks down on you in some way shape or form. Stick drift is guaranteed within 6 months. Bumpers are prone to fail. ABXY buttons can be hit or miss when it comes to missed inputs. And if you hit the Yahtzee in bad luck, you might even have an issue down the road with the rubber grips losing adhesion. I have never thrown one of these controllers, I've never mishandled them or have been rough with them in any way and over the years and I've gone through four of The Elite Series 2 and four of the original Elite controllers as well. Microsoft has a quality control problem when it comes to these controllers. You're better off getting a Scuff controller.

I had hope there would be a noticeable difference over the standard controls in feel or gameplay. It was actually a little harder to "run" the player for the first several sessions then it seemed to break-in. I love the rechargeable battery, hope the life is good. The rubberized grip is probably the biggest difference. If budget doesn't matter, go ahead, but maybe stick with standard controllers if it's a stretch.

Nice weight to it and good rubber grip. Paddles are conveniently removable too when i dont need them.

The controller feels solid and not cheap. I like the rubberized grips and that it comes with a charging cable. The built in rechargeable battery is a massive upgrade over the base controllers AA requirements.

Microsofts best remote. Absolutely crucial for higher tier gaming

Loves this thing beats the normal controller by a long shot

As someone who prefers Xbox controllers over others, this controller is top of the line and gives you enough accessibility to customize and personalize your controller to your preferences with different presets so you can alternate between different game types and adjustable thumbsticks and triggers. The controller is of course just the elite series 2 controller but without the accessory kit and unfortunately it carries over the same issues the previous controller has. Thankfully, in my experience with this controller, I’ve had much less issues especially within the nearly two years I’ve had it. Would I recommend it? Absolutely… with the warranty. It feels as if they made these controllers with flaws or degradation over time and not built to last unless you’re extremely careful and lucky!

The best controller I have ever used!!! Easy to use
