Customer Ratings & Reviews

So many more features than the gen 1. I find it way more comfortable to hold, it’s lighter, and the thumb sticks feel 10x better. You can also adjust how stiff the thumb sticks are. I tried the one my sister had and knew I needed the upgrade.

I picked up this $180 controller because I wanted to see if Microsoft really made it better than the first one, and I must say after having it for a week of long gaming sessions I can say this: Amazing controller but Microsoft did not need to add the extra $30 to the price tag.

This is a fantastic control with good grip and great handle

Bought for my nephew and he loves it! Says he feel like a true gamer now. Haven’t heard a complaint from him.

Love the feel its perfect and how you could customize the triggers

So far, the controller is excellent. It has a good weight, balance, and feel to it when compared to the non-elite controller. I also got the warranty per the recommendation of numerous sources.

I mean this is a no brainer. This is the best XBOX controller on the market. Weight is right, feel is solid, options and attachments are easy to plug and play. They fixed the rubber grip issue from series 1 controller.

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!

Worked great for 2 years of constant play . Left joy stick recently got super lose and now I can tighten it . Still works for game play . Overall it’s last longer the other. Controllers I’ve purchased . I plan on purchasing another one .

Build appears to be sturdy and quality at first use. Paddles are responsive and made of metal so they won’t break. HOWEVER….. the left thumb stick has been known to get loose while in use. And the I started experiencing stick drift after 4 months of use. I recommend always buying the replacement warranty because you will need to use it.

Great controller if you have the money to waste on it or you are truly a gamer and will benefit from the slight difference in the mods it is capable of performing.

It is an elite 2 without all the extras. Great for replacing broken elite 2. Im not a big warranty person but i highly recommend getting the warranty. Saves you about $70 (if you buy the warranty again after turning in broken controller) and saves you the headache and stress of getting a new controller. If you start getting stick drift, button stop working, controller stops charging, battery stops holding a charge, etc, take it to bestbuy, redeem the warranty, they give you the new controller, buy the warranty on it for $50, and you are back to gaming. (Warranty is 2 years, its a new controller)

I love the Xbox elite series controllers. The paddles are incredible. They change the game, smooth, rubber feel,, love it.

I like all the customizations that can be done. I like that it's a little heavy so I can't accidentally throw it in the air.

Controller feels amazing and paddles are very nice. Only issue is the left stick. I’d suggest the protection plan if your left stick starts to break or drift. Only reason for the 4 star but best buys coverage is great.

Amazing controller if you get a good one out of the box. I had to go exchange it several times until I got one that wasn’t defective. Finally found one that wasn’t and it works/feels great!

I highly recommend this!! Works very well and has been dependable for me. Only controller I use

For the most part has worked exceptionally well since it was purchased. As of right now, a couple of the buttons are getting sticky like something is in them, but I've been careful about keeping it clean so I'm not sure why. Other than that, it's been a great purchase and would recommend / buy another if I need it to.

I bought this controller for my pc set up for the games that recommend a controller over MnK. I'm not a heavy user but the controller feels great in hand and works for my purpose. Good built quality as you can expect from Microsoft. Very durable.

Works good little expensive but all around good product
