Customer Ratings & Reviews

One of the things I love about this controller is the weight and the fact the battery is built in to it. Easy to charge and use.

Best premium xbox controller without the Hall effect joysticks. The materials that dampened the plastic cheap feel. Iconic xbox controller hand position. Not worth the regular price. Wait for a sale or open box.

The controller is great to play. Best parts of the controller are the grip,weight,and the ability to change the sticks to your preferred height.

I use this controller every single day! The quality is good, and you can store presets for different games for the paddles

Extremely versatile controller. Nice weight to it. The rechargeable battery is extremely convenient as you can charge in the protective case.

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.

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.

Real good but breaks overtime. On my 4th one and just the bumpers break after time. Not to much stick drift.

Honestly I was skeptical at first, but the controller fits very comfortably and has a hight build quality. Stick drift is definitely still a thing, but with the stick tension adjustment it was easy to find a balance, unlike the original Xbox controller. You get what you get as far as tension goes. Overall great product, things I wish it had; hall effect joysticks and a better price tag (high cost).

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.

It's my favorite controller I've tried... 2 and a half years ago. I purchased it again 4 months ago and the buttons are already super sticky (especially the 'B' button which is inexplicable considering I don't use consistently on the games I play with controller). The controller felt like it was barely in better shape than my last controller I had used since 2023. I decided not to get the product liability insurance with it because the one I bought lasted prior for about 2 years, but this one ruins my gaming experience already a few months in. Perhaps the quality has gone down significantly from Microsoft, or I had bad luck this time. Either way, I thought this was the most dependable xbox controller, but I've been proven otherwise.

The controller was on back order so I was super excited when it became available(covid and what not). Overall the controller has unmatchable customization, but like other reviews say it has its problems... the A and B button don’t Respond 1 in 10 presses.. which isn’t that big of a deal since you can use the paddles... that’s all cool until the paddles do the same. I love this controller. I swapped from years of playing claw on a regular x-box controller. All I can say is buy it from Best Buy and get the geek squad 2 year protection. Geek squad has no questions asked and you get a new one. This controller is plagued with problems.... so use Best Buy

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!

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)

Is this a good controller I recommend buying this controller because you don’t need batteries every time

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.

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

The controller has so many adaptive and interchangeable features.

This is my second elite 2 controller. The first one just quit working. Hit the xbox button and nothing..I had it about 7ish months. I always buy from Bestbuy and it cost me 40 to get this second one. When you buy their insurance and replace an item, you pay for the insurance on the product. Needless to say this one gas been going good for a little over a month. I love having the paddles on the back. I set them up so I don't have to push buttons. Also really like having the ability to make the right and left triggers have a shorter squeeze. Some games I like a longer squeeze and others short. Overall I would definitely give the controller a 5 star, however the first one has me gun shy. 4 star is it this go round. Definitely recommend, and recommend Bestbuy insurance.
