Customer Ratings & Reviews

got plenty of use of mine and enjoyed it greatly but like the series 1 before it the price increase does not come with durability increases. will the grip issue of the series 1 seems to be 99% fixed i was/ am seeing minor expansion after this year that could become problematic if other parts like the bumpers and sticks retained their life better. *when i mention durability ive never once thrown or otherwise put nonstandard ware and tear abuse on the controller but it seems that since even the 360 era microsofts controllers just aren't made to last daily use of 5+ hours for a full year

Having an this as an option to purchasing the entire elite is cost effective for me since I have a full version model that suffers from stick drift and faulty button contact. Thus, my old paddles and other accessories fit perfect.

It’s a huge saver in batteries and has a good grip to them.

Love the product this has been an amazing controller. Definitely love the grip as well as the paddles

Really enjoy the feel and weight of these elite series remotes definitely worth the buy!

By far worth the investment especially if you like to play FPS and Battle Royals. Favorites features are the trigger stoppers and paddles also has a nice weight to it that isn't too heavy.

So glad I bought this so much better then the basic controller.

Great quality and Features are nice. Bought for my wife to replace an aging standard controller. She loves the customization and quality of the controller. Certainly a step up

Love the controller. GOOD QUALITY and fits in my hand well. Glad I bought this

Feels much nicer than the stock controller. Better grip and the paddles are nice.

Best purchase i made should have gotten it sooner well built quality easy to use and customizable button layout feels like you are in the big leags when using it i would recommend to all gamers.

I feel this has a little more weight to it than the previous model. The button to change configuration (center button) does move as much when you press it which through me off a little as

I’ve had many remote controls but this one feels different. It is stronger, heavier in a good way. The feeling that I get with this one in my hands is like i can play anything and i have more control of the game in many ways. Fast reaction and the bottoms dont break even when I play fighting games which require a lot of pressing and controlig every bottom. I would recomend it to anyone.

Love the controller. Got a second one because I didn't buy an extended warranty on my first. I highly recommend putting the 2 year service on it. I used mine daily and it started to break down after about 8 months. By 12 months (about 8 days past warranty) the left stick got all kinds of wonky. Anywho, i had everything I needed from the previous controller. so I bought this one with 2 year service and saved a bunch of $$$.

Absolutely love it feels great works great. I think it may even feel better than the black elite 2. And i opened each box days apart

This controller is amazing! It is a little bit pricey but the grip and weight make it feel premium! I have been using this thing for over a year and have been very happy with it!

Like the way it feels in hands when playing games. And the ability to change out is amazing

Hands down this is always going to be the best controller in the market, how it feels, they weight and also how much advantage give you

I was leery to pick up another expensive controller since the v1 grips peeled on mine. It has been a few months of average use and I see much improvement. It feels great in my hand, grips are a little light but I’ve had no issues with it slipping. Battery life is good and I enjoy the new charging station. I really don’t use the back buttons all that much so I won’t speak in their function. The triggers are smooth but again not all games recognize the short trigger pulls. Overall it’s a great controller that is more of a luxury item over a need. If you have the funds, go for it. If not, you won’t miss a lot

I purchased mine shortly after it released, though it wasn't delivered until November of 2019. I'm mostly a PC gamer, but I need a controller for occasional games that don't require M+KB. This seemed like a very robust and long lasting option compared to regular xbox controllers at the time. In short, the features are great, and it worked very well for about a year, but then it started having issues with the bumpers not registering a press every time. Now it takes many presses to get the bumpers to register a keypress. The joysticks also have a tendency to bounce too far to the opposite direction when I release them, causing me to snap the opposite direction I was intending to face. I called Microsoft to ask about repair, and they were very nice, but also explained I was out of warranty and repair would cost $100 plus shipping. A new one is only $165, so that repair cost feels a little steep. It seems like such a waste to throw it away after not even two years, but it's no longer reliable for gaming. I was certainly hoping it would be easier and cheaper to repair. The controller has great features and feels better to hold for long gaming sessions, but I'm a little disappointed with the longevity of the device.
