Customer Ratings & Reviews

Nothing more need be said than I love this controller! I use the paddles underneath to make actions like sprinting and melees easier to perform. I have 4 separate setups -- 2 PCs and an XBOX X and an XBOX S. This controller completes the set (4th one). I use it and another one wired for my PCs and wireless for my XBOXs.

I like the idea of a customizable controller, but this feels out of my league honestly. A+ idea with C execution unfortunately. A controller with this price has to be perfect. It really wanted to like this.

I have been using the Elite series of controllers since gen 1, it is nice to finally have a cheaper purchasing option than the $180 original gen 2 with the case and charging base.

Best controller I’ve ever used way better than the first generation no separation in the padding and almost no stick drift even after weeks/ months of use I generally replace mine once a year anyways but this is amazing

If you game a lot, this is worth the price. Very high quality. Although like all Microsoft controllers, don't drop it, the bumpers aren't particularly durable. I don't think I'd recommend it for kids who might not be careful with it.

Best controller I have owned so far. Stick drift did occur, but I am tough on the left joystick. It’s currently being replaced via warranty and lasted longer than most others have. I also like the removable paddles on the back as opposed to ones that are built in. Some games not all 4 are needed and the others tend to get in the way.

Its such a nice high quality controller. The only thing I dont like is the Dpad. Not ideal at all for fighting games. But very customizable and great for casual games otherwise.

Absolutely the best controller for Xbox I love this thing it does everything tension the sticks for better aimed shots triggers for extra buttons I use mine for melee get it you won’t regret it it feels great in the hand true premium quality

Microsoft has done a great job on the 2nd gen elite controller. My only problem with the 1st gen were the grips and they've completely rehauled them here. They don't feel as tacky at first touch but once I start to play I actually much prefer the grip on the 2nd gen controller. Overall the controller feels much more solid. A little more compact grip which has proven much more comfortable over the last month.

I know there have been a lot of backlash on this controller, and I can't comment on durability. I have enjoyed it a lot, and having extra paddles helps with playing games, so you can keep fingers on thimbsticks. Adding the 2 year protection plan from Best Buy also makes my mind at ease with durability. I would only buy it at best buy.

Great controller. Broke my 1st elite controller, that I only needed the core and this came in handy.

My son was super excited to receive this controller and he’s using it as his main controller now he loves it!

I Loved My Last Elite Series & It Lasted Me Bout 3yrs B4 I Had To Replace It… I Love The Color On This One Only Downside Is I Have To Buy Accessories But Overall I Love The Performance & Feel To This Controller

Best controller I’ve ever owned. Love the paddles.

Very good quality, very customizable huge advantage over regular controllers.

Is a very well constructed controller and I like how you can customize it.

I upgraded my Elite Series 1 and have no regrets so far. The controller feels very good and high quality. The 3 levels for the trigger buttons is a must have for any first person shooter gamers. Only concern is how the handle grips will hold up since the Series 1 had serious issues with them peeling. A bit pricey but if you're a serious gamer or game a lot this controller is worth it.

Fantastic controller. Holds up great to frequent use.

It's a great design, but for the price it should've lasted way longer. With simple use, nothing out of the ordinary, it lasted for about a year. The rubber sides started peeling away and it also began having stick drift. I wouldn't recommend spending this much on a controller that won't give you much in return.

It’s good but the right stick starts to twist when playing
