Customer Ratings & Reviews

Had a Series 1 Elite. Luckily, bought the Best Buy replacement package based on recommendation of the employee ringing me up. Broke in less than 1 year. Returned to Best Buy and again was highly recommended to take the money instead of a replacement as Microsoft hadn’t made the units any more reliable. Went several years with just a standard controller but always missed the upgrades the Elite offered. Upgraded to an Series X console on February 5 and decided after reading reviews on the Elite 2, Microsoft seemed to have developed a reliable version of an Elite controller. Today, June 23rd, roughly 120 days from purchase, the left thumb stick made an awful sound and now is stuck. It does not return to its “neutral” position when left go. You can feel it is rubbing on something or the spring broke. It is completely unusable. Riddle me this…Microsoft has $50-$60 standard controllers that I still have and use for all my consoles…360 Elite console, Xbox One console, Xbox One S console, Xbox One X console. I’ve dropped them, thrown them, spilled food or drink on them, covered them in the hand gunk from heavy use and they ALL still work pretty much flawlessly after what a decade in some cases? But Microsoft wants just under $200 for a controller that can’t last more than 120 days??? How is that even possible? Save yourself the hassle, if you buy the replacement policy is a MUST! It WILL break!

Great controller but better for medium to smaller hands.

Once you get an elite controller it is hard to go back to a normal one. Paddles are responsive and convenient. Get your game on with a competitive edge.

Solid controller with adaptability and functionality.

Great controller, makes a big difference in gaming. Makes things quicker and easyer.

Kevin’s exbox remote is so amazing I love it and it’s so great.

Excellent controller I love it, workin perfect for pro players.

Very happy with response time when ordering a digital code

Well built controller Microsoft really put great planning into this controller attention to detail was most definitely a factor here

I love it, it doesnt seem to have the thumbstick drift like the original elite. Only thing I dont like is the new paddles, they are just a little too small for my liking.

So good i bought two more. Makes games like Elden Ring or forza much easier

The control is easy to customize and comes with adaptive triggers, buttons and D pad. Best purchase. Series 2 comes with rechargeable batteries and USC Type C

This controller is awesome! All the different button changes that you can make is almost endless. I love how I can change my trigger pull with the app. So cool!!!

I have the first one. I have the white one, black and I wish one day I can get my hands in the gear of war one. Hands down best controller on the market. Go Xbox box

I love the way this works excellent service and quick

My son loves this controller for his Xbox x - easy to use and provides a competitive gaming edge

These "elite" controllers feel substantial, but still suffer from the same "drift" issues as the regularly priced ones. This is our third elite controller. I like the non-T-bar directional pad because it feels more versatile. However, I'm sure we will be purchasing another one soon when this one, like all the others, develops drift.

Remote works perfectly. Very easy to set up an has different pieces to use to change the remote.

Beats buying a charging system for the xbox controller

Love the feel and precision that this controller has.
