Customer Ratings & Reviews

Ive honestly had this for 4 years playing a lot of fps games and everything is still working perfectly. I will say the material is starting to mess up a bit but thats from wear and tear but still functional. I love this controller. A bang for your buck. Do not hesitate to buy

Really nice controller. Battery life is great. Not perfect but close.

Bought this for my nephew and he Loves how its trully customizable

Way better than a scuff controller, actually metal and real quality material with long lasting interchangeable parts.

Love everything about it. No complaints what so ever

I love it totally worth the price took gaming to a new level!!!

Had to return, I have arthritis made hands worse nice controller though

After using one of these controllers for about the last 6 months, I still can't understand its high praise from community. I feel obliged to share my experience. Features: The paddles sound nice on paper but not all users will find them useful. Certain grip styles will notice they just get in the way. After playing on standard controllers for so long without paddles/buttons on the back side, I've found it difficult to adapt to them and play most games with the paddles removed. The customizable joysticks are a neat idea, though being held by magnetism, they tend to shift around resulting in a springy feel. I notice this in game but also a lot while navigating menus. If I press down on the joystick and then simply let go, the action results in a down then up instead of just a down. The springy feel can be slightly reduced by adjusting the joystick tension but I have found that tension setting resets itself over time during use. Also, the joysticks have a grindy feel when pressed down and rotating, something I don't experience with standard controllers. The trigger locks are fine, though depending on your grip style, they can accidently shift settings during use. Build Quality: Now build quality is something I expected the Elite would exceed in over the standard controllers but has not been the case. The Elite controller can split open from drops as low as two feet onto a throw rug. Unlike the standard controllers that have removable grip panels and the two main halves screwed together, the Elite is simply two halves snapped together by small clips. If you are strong enough, you can literally split one of these open in your hands. A standard controller can absorb drops 10x better than the Elite. If considering an Elite controller, I'd highly recommend purchasing the accidental damage coverage because if you drop your controller once and a tab snaps off, it won't seal right and would require a replacement. Also, as of last week, my Elite controller developed stick drift in the left joystick which leads me to believe that the joystick rocker modules are no better quality than the ones used in the standard controllers. Value: Considering all my experiences mentioned above make this controller a terrible value. You are essentially spending $120 more over a standard controller for the addition of paddles, adjustable thumb sticks, trigger stops and a fancy case with charging station. Again, the features are poorly implemented and the overall quality of the controller is worse than a standard controller. I personally would not recommend this controller to anyone who is expecting a significant upgrade from a standard controller. There are plenty of cheap aftermarket add-ons out there, that can essentially get a standard controller the features the Elite has. Elite is all hype.

Feels great. Able to Bluetooth to iOS. Most Xbox controllers can’t. Just needs to have some hall thumb sticks to help with stick drift

Very easy to use and a huge upgrade from the standard controller.

Controller is great but I had to return it because of Malfunctions. I took it back to the store and they replaced it right away. Thanks best buy! Geek Squad rules.

My Grandson loves this, much better than the one that broke and it came from another store.

Love it great control..the feeling especially the grip.

This is a great controller and works just the way i was hoping it would

Grandson says its "totally Awesome" and helps him play better!

Bought this for my son to use with his PC because we do not have Xbox works great he is happy with it

I love it so much best products ever 100% should buy

Beautiful design and hand hand feel. Feels if your really holding a quality product. After less then 3-4 hours of play time. Starting getting analog drift on the left thumb stick. Which became very bad after a few more hours. The box also looked as if it has been opened initially. Ended up returning this controller. Would have loved to had it work correctly.

Greatest controller! Best feeling, great costumization.

First controller out of the box....stick drift. Returned the next day. Second controller, the stucks dont return to true center resulting in having to set up a deadzone. Will be returning that one shortly as well, will the third time be the charm or is xbox garbage. Everything else was great, the back paddles work well and the interchangable sticks are amazing. The xbox accessory app lets you change almost everything to your liking. Even my xbox 1 controller sticks return to a neutral position after 5 years....cross your fingers on purchase.
