Customer Ratings & Reviews

The swappable thumbsticks, D-pad, and paddles allow for a highly customizable experience, catering to different play styles which was the main reason I made this purchase. I truly enjoy using this controller and I can’t wait to see what Microsoft does to the next generation of it.

I’ve had this controller for 13 months and it’s still going strong… no stick drift and the sticks still click down when pressed. I bought the 2 year replacement warranty and don’t see any need to replace it yet. The previous version of these controllers didn’t last this long, I would need to replace them within a year. I use it almost every day, for hours at a time.

It’s what you’d expect from an Elite controller, no issues.

Excellent build quality, love the built in battery, no more double A’s needed. Has a great weight and the customizability is amazing, from hairpin triggers to customizable back paddle buttons

Very happy with this purchase. The quality is solid, it works exactly as described, and it’s been easy to use right out of the box. Everything feels well-made and dependable, and it’s clearly designed with real users in mind. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a reliable option, and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from this brand again.

A very good controller. I've gotten mine a couple years ago when it first came out. I love the paddles on the back. The only thing that sucks is the accessories don't come with the controller so you have to buy the paddles separately. Recently though the controller has started to crack and rip places. I don't abuse it when I get mad at my games. It just starts disintegrating. Other than that lasts a while and no stick drift at all. Would recommend. Just in case I'd buy the protection plan with it.

Xbox has always had my favorite controllers, and the Elites are the best of all of them. Love it.

The elite series 2 is a great controller up until the moment it is not. I highly recommend the 2 year protection plan for this. I have gone through maybe 6-7 of this controllers since 2020, about 1 a year. Either the Y or B button stops to register or the bumpers no longer work.

Best controller, i wont use another controller. Very durable, weighted perfectly. great customization, get the warranty if you are a heavy user like i am normal wear and tear

Love the weight, accessories, swappable thumbsticks. Long battery life. My only complaint or nitpick would be the non- removable battery for long term purposes. I recommend getting geeksquad protection for that reason.

I love this controller. It’s great if you already own the elite 2 and have all the extra pieces. It’s easy to map buttons (on PC, I don’t use this with the Xbox) and love all the customization options on it. I’ve had decently good luck with the build quality although I’ve heard the bumpers break often. I would suggest getting a protection plan if you’re using it often, it’s worth it.

This controller is one of the best controllers for Xbox! I play a lot of COD and back paddles and ability to customize are very key for a better gaming experience! I do wish the price was a little lower.

It is a good controller with a rechargeable battery and many customization options. It is quite expensive though.

A solid controller for gaming, I like the interchangeable accessories and the charching station it comes with. It does lack some of the features from the new series x controllers but it is still a very good controller.

In my years of gaming, I've tried numerous controllers, but the Elite controller stands head and shoulders above the rest. Its exceptional design, build quality, customization options, wireless connectivity, and impressive battery life make it the ultimate gaming companion. Whether you're a casual gamer or a competitive enthusiast, this controller will undoubtedly enhance your gaming experience and take your skills to the next level. Trust me, you won't be disappointed with the Elite controller. It's a true game changer

Its an expensive controller... I get it.... but if you're reading this, buy it. Especially if its on sale. The grips feel amazing in your hands. Adjustable triggers are awesome. The battery last for hours. The construction is high quality. You can remove the paddles if you don't like them. It works on your PC and your Xbox. When you're done playing, put it back in the case (the charger is in the case).

I got this controller for my PC at the same time I got a Playstation Edge controller for my PS5. This controller is so much better. Everything feels so much more responsive, from the sticks to the triggers. It sits better in my hands and just feels better overall. Even if the Edge controller had four back triggers like this one instead of two, I’d still rate this one better. I’ve been a Playstation over Xbox fan my whole life, and it makes me sad to rate something Xbox better than PS. But truth is truth. I wish I could use one of these on my PS5.

It's a great controller, I had a used Series 1 originally that I bought from a friend. It had been used to the point the plastic grips were tearing off so I decided to upgrade. It's been a great controller and the case/charger is awesome for taking it to a friends place. I'm not entirely sure if it's the controller or my Pc, but I can't connect it wirelessly. However, I can play while it's plugged in. A little expensive for a controller, but I guess it beats buying a bunch of cheap ones.

The controller's ergonomics are exceptional, particularly the macro buttons, which facilitate complex command inputs in fighting games. Pairing with my computer was seamless, eliminating any configuration complexities. The weight and grip are ideally balanced and comfortable.

By far the best Xbox controller I have ever used. I've been through every controller that Xbox has put out and this one is superb in every way. The buttons are all mapable and the sensitivity of the triggers and buttons are all adjustable. The paddles are there also for those who prefer them, but in my configuration I just don't use them. The feel of this controller is hefty, durable and worth the cost. The case has a charging stand built in which is very nice, but make sure you have a USB-C cable to plug into it. The best thing about this controller is that every part about it just makes sense. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that is a serious gamer. You won't be disappointed.
