The paddles and customization make this a must-have controller!! The weight also feels =very good in hand.

Good weight to controller and feels smooth and responsive 3 didn’t modes to save for different layouts for quick switching

Was a great gift for my dad in Christmas. He loves using it.

I debated on this for years and i would always say to myself i don't want to spend that much on a controller. The sticks started falling apart on my last one and i asked a friend that raved about the elite if it was worth it. He said you won't have to buy another controller for life. I broke down and got it and before unboxing it i was impressed with the package. This thing feels great. Very impressed and pleased with purchase. I regret not getting it sooner.

Excellent feel and quality. Will buy again! This meets my needs for a much better price than the Elite 2.

My son says this is the best controller he has used so far.

Quality product and feel better than the original elite controller that made your hands feel clammy.

I now understand why this controller is expensive...its freaking nice

I like the interchangeable D-Pad and removable triggers, It took a while to get use to setting up the different profiles and programming them but over all I like it.

I absolutely love the Microsoft elite series controllers. I have a black one that I use. Also, this white one looks even better. It doesn’t come with the battery or the case but you really don’t need it. I love the way the stick works and it comes with all of the buttons and switches to the other one for the price you cannot go wrong with this I absolutely love the way it feels in your hand. The grip is nice the white does get dirty a little easy but it’s still looks great.

Feels great must have controller I’ve literally never used a better controller ever

High quality controller allowing for a high degree of customization and enhanced gaming experience. One item to note is that the Core series controller does not come with the paddles for the back of the controller, so you'll need to purchase those separately if you don't already own them.

Compared to the original Elite controller this one is by far an amazing upgrade. Having the ability to adjust the tension on the thumbsticks is great for dialing in the accuracy for FPS games, the extra middle trigger stop is awesome if you're not wanting to go all the way to the short stop for other games as well, and the adjusted paddles on the back are much better without having to worry about accidentally hitting them while playing. The built in rechargeable battery is a step above the play and charge kit battery. I have definitely noticed a significant increase in play time before needing to charge it. If you're on the fence whether to keep your original Elite over this one then you're missing out. The Elite 2 is definitely worth the money for the upgrade.

Overall, the controller felt good when sitting on the hands. The dome joystick and the adjustable tension makes it really comfortable to play games. But there are still some issues on the controller I received. I can hear something when I shake it; the dead zones of the joysticks are even larger than my regular one s controller; the top part along with the bumpers is a bit loose. I don't think paying almost $200 for a possible defective controller is a wise choice. Also, as a PC gamer, I don't feel the upgrade worth that much of penny that is 3-5 times more than a regular one s controller.

Is really good controller for competitive gaming but unfortunately the sticks do get stick drift after daily use. It will give about 4 months before you need another controller. But because extended warranty that kind solve the issue if you have the extra money to afford it.

Great Xbox controller, bit packs holifax sensors so it will even get drift just like all controllers. USB c is nice but no rechargeable battery is still insane In 2026 especially for an elite controller.

I love this controller! For years I always rocked a normal Xbox controller but upgrading to an elite was one of the best decisions! Great Grip and Battery life!

Great product connectivity was perfect for eat i needed and i havent had to charge it yet

Sticky buttons, and stick drift 30 days in of owning this product, otherwise very durable

Great responsive controller and very durable. The paddles are in perfect spots
