Customer Ratings & Reviews

So many more features than the gen 1. I find it way more comfortable to hold, it’s lighter, and the thumb sticks feel 10x better. You can also adjust how stiff the thumb sticks are. I tried the one my sister had and knew I needed the upgrade.

I never do reviews, but I guess I’m starting. I love these controllers. Works perfectly on Xbox or PC + paddles. But. As the price gets higher the quality becomes more of an issue. 3rd controller that has fallen apart, this one did last a good year and a half which I’m happy about but this controller specifically the grip around it absolutely wears out before the first year of use. 2 of the controllers I’ve had plastic breaks inside the controller without raging being involved (hasn’t effected use). The response mechanism for the triggers is probably the worst, maybe works for a week and wears its self out unless you’re super soft on the triggers all the time. It’s just no longer worth the cost when it seems it’s only designed to last until the warranty runs out. I don’t care to buy new controllers obviously but “premium” controllers should be able to withstand heavy use and not naturally fall apart within a year. IMO.

This control is solid in so many ways. Great accessories, feels great in hand which we come to expect from x box. But the "pro" functions set this above its peers and make it worth the money. Triggers are smooth and quick for fps but still reaponsinsive for driving games. The ability to tighten thumbstick tension is a gamechanger. The back paddles are comfy and let you keep thumbs on sticks so you get to play better. All in all id buy this again 100/10 times

Excellent controller. Bought one when they were first available, but got stuck drift within 35 days of use. This new version is holding up very well and feels tighter.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

This is an amazing gift for the gamer in your life. My husband has really enjoyed the nostalgia green color.

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

Best in market, does wear out in a three year span though. But weight and sticks are quality.

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.

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 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

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).

This controller has really updated my gaming to the next level. Especially with the options to map and set the sensitivity of the buttons.

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 will buy again if it does not work.
