Customer Ratings & Reviews

So far so good after a couple weeks. Its so much nicer than the standard Xbox controllers. Dont see myself being able to go back to them now. Feels much better in the hand, its nice that you can adjust so much with it. From the tension on the sticks to being able to adjust the extra sensitivity setting on it through the xbox. Im loving this controller.

I cannot express how much I enjoy this controller. If you're looking to get a high end, customized gaming experience then this is a no brainer. The controller has nice weighty feel to it and the buttons have a good tactile sensation. It takes a little bit to figure out the button mapping features and customization but once you do it's a dream. The best part is the battery life, this thing can go for hours upon hours before needing a charge. The charging cradle works incredibly well and I've had no issues with the contacts. All in all if it's something you're willing to spend the money on you will not regret this purchase

I would definitely give this controller 5 stars if this was the first Elite controller you purchased. I wouldn’t rate it 5 stars if you already have the first model. A few definitely marked improvements; my favorites being the anti slip grip, the shortened paddles on the back, and the 3 customizable settings. If you have the first version, I could argue on not getting this one and hopefully waiting for a 3rd version (you know there will be another). First time buyer; I’d recommend it. Already have the first; I’d wait, unless your wallet is burning a hole in your pocket and you would also want the aforementioned features.

I really like this controller it feels like it’s made with a high standard of quality. I love all its features like how you can customize the thumb sticks and D-pad and that they are made of metal, not plastic. The battery for me last a long time, I just charged it the first time since it’s initial charge the other day, though I don’t play everyday, so it last pretty long even with vibration on. But the overall build quality is excellent nice rubber grips, metal sticks, and sturdy plastic. This controller when compared to the new Series X controller makes the X feel cheap.

This was a great change in controller scheme from the normal controller. The paddles on the bottom were fantastic. In FPS games, being able to map the face buttons to the paddles means I didn't have to take my finger off the right thumb stick while playing. Made being a shotgun ape a little easier. The customizations are also a nice feature, different thumb sticks you can put on, different direction pad. Also, the weight of the controller feels nice. Feels solid in your hand. 2 stars cause after 7-8 months of ownership the left joy stick tracking started getting wonky, specifically in the up direction. Presents itself in I'll be running in COD or Destiny, and just all of a sudden come to a walk. Like the controller just forgets your pushing full forward. Have to release and reengage the run, which in a shooter is certainly a difference between winning and losing a fight. Very disappointing that a controller that cost almost half as much as the console developed issues in under a year, and only has a 6 month warranty. My original, included with the Xbox controller is still going strong after years of ownership. Recommend from a feature standpoint. Do not recommend from a quality/standing behind the product stand point. Understand quality issue can happen to anyone, but only a 6 month warranty on a $200 controller, just disappointing.

A bit pricey. But overall, this is a good controller. Grips are textured, and do not feel cheap like some other controllers do. The adjustable thumbsticks are awesome and helped me get my aiming under control. Plus, the thumbsticks do not feel like cheap plastic either. The battery life is awesome as well, plus the box comes with a 10 foot charging cord, just no wall plug. Overall, definitely recommend this controller.

Love this controller! Very smooth and has great back paddles

great controller, soooo glad i went with this instead of "aim"other brand. heavy, 100% customizable, and durable. Would 100% reccomend.

Xbox Elite Controllers are the standard in Gaming. I even use them on my PC. Great weight, reliable and durable.

Everything about this device screams quality. I love the feel of it. It seems a little heavier, but overall feels very good in my hands. What blows me away is the battery life. I had gotten used to the older controllers so when I started using this I was surprised that I didn't have to charge after several hours of game play. A few days later, the same. A few days more... It seemed to take forever for me to have to charge the device. I love it! I've had it for a bit and it just consistently performs.

I enjoy this controller a lot more then it’s predecessor. Grip all around were hands are plced. The sticks are even more precise and responsive. Battery life is exceptional playing 4-6 hours on my days off and not having to charge frequently. Having a case with built in charging when setting down controller or having it in case is a great feature. Setting controller up with different button setting is awesome. Haven’t really used as of yet but a nice option. Have only played Call of Duty Warzone so far with this controller. It gives me a huge advantage compared to the standard xbox controller I used. My response time is amazing.

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!

Not a really good gamer, so anything that helps is a plus. First time owning elite series. The controller feels very solid and haven't had any problems like the complaints I have seen online (A button sticking, etc). I think it's helped and my only complaint is I'm not quite used to the paddles--they make it hard to get a good grip without accidentally pressing them. That means I'm accidentally switching your primary weapon to melee while under fire in a FPS match.... :/ I don't plan to disable or remove the paddles because I want to get used to using them. I'm ditching my 2015-era Xbox One for the XBox One-X so let's see how this performs with the new rig!

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.

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!

Does the job I need it to do. This a is great color & works well.

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

You can’t ask for a better controller for Xbox. Its durable, has a built in rechargeable battery, and is customizable to your preference.

Definitely better than the first model. Not having the share feature is a bummer

Great product.. very responsive. Durable and ergonomic
