Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the product's great overall performance, excellent battery life, and extensive customization options. They frequently praise its comfortable feel, good weight, and comfortable grip. However, a significant concern raised by users is the issue of stick drift, which appears to develop quickly. Additionally, some customers have experienced problems with button quality and found the price to be a point of hesitation.

    Super easy to use and customize, good grip for those sweating gaming sessions. Only thing missing is the good old capture button for pictures and videos, otherwise 10/10

    Love this controller if you want to step your game up than make sure you get one of these and dont forget your warranty so if it brakes you can get a new one and a new warranty for a quarter of the price

    Feels great in your hand and I like that I dont have to worry about battery packs. Bigest issue is that the thumbstick neef to be constantly re-tightened and that the extra buttons underneath can be pressed inadvertently. Still an upgrade from the core controller.

    So far so good the controller feels like a premium accessory, the price tag is high and some people might find the buttons on the back annoying but the beauty of this controller is that you can customize it to your liking and however you feel it the best way to play. The only thing I wish this controller had that is missing is the share button the new one has.

    This is amazing. Definitely changed my game playing. Being able to change the triggers is awesome. Does not come with back paddles. Which is really the whole point in getting one of these. Had to buy separate

    Probably the best controller on the market right now, as a PC user. Just switched from a PS4 controller so I'm still adjusting but no other controller has as many options as this does. A best buy agent helped me with this purchase and I greatly appreciated it. Always buying from best buy whenever I can.

    Pretty displeased. I bought this on January 2024. Couple years back I bought the Elite series black controller and it started going out so I figured I give this one a shot since it was cheaper. First and foremost it does NOT have all the additional buttons that the other controller has. Moreover, within a month of owning this controlle. For a $130 controller I expect something thats going to last abit longer than 2 months. Overall, get the black Elite. Not this hunk of junk.

    I love these controllers for the Xbox. My wife bought me one and it's been great to use. Awesome battery life. Can pair with laptop and phone too. Charges relatively quick. Comes with a case and extra accessories. Can change the color on the app.

    Gotta give Microsoft credit cuz they made the Elite controller even better. Solid built but I’m just waiting to see if there will be any stick drift I’m with this in the future. As of this review I’m 2 months in and so far so good. I don’t care for the grips, I’m hoping scuf comes out with their grips for this soon but other than that I think this is a perfect controller.

    I use to own the original Ellie and loved it. Took awhile too but the Ellie 2 but immensely enjoyed using it like I did with the original. And with the accessories kit makes it hands down my favorite controller

    Fantastic controller! This is the best controller for any console gamer wanting to have an edge or compete with PC players. The build is solid. It looks and feels great. Battery life is great. There are plenty of different options to configure to make the controller yours or to give you the right tools for each different game you might play.

    Been playing on the original Xbox and still have it along with 360 and XBox 1X. This is by far the best Xbox controller I have ever owned and experienced. The feel and controllers are definitely elite compared to all the other Xbox controllers. It was recently in stock and on sale which was a bonus.

    I have two of these and I think they are the best controllers ever. The heavier weight feels great and the joysticks are very smooth. I have the total tech on them and if they ever have a problem I just swap it out for another. Highly recommend

    Been hankering to get one if these for months, and because of that I was a bit wary going in. You never know if a purchase is going to live up to the hype you build for it. I'm happy to say that to me at least, this does. When you first pick it up, you don't really notice much besides the weight (which is good and heavy; I can't stand lite cheap feeling controllers), but after a few hours in I started noticing subtle details. The sticks are suuuuuper smooth, and every button has a good solid click. The triggers are weighty and responsive, however the trigger stops detract slightly. I usually have them at the shortest pull when playing rpgs or shooters, and it almost feels like I'm going to break the stops. Other than that one detail, I haven't found anything about this controller I don't like. Very happy with my purchase.
