Customer Ratings & Reviews

Ive been using the elite since nearly its release. I was a huge fan of the original for reasons such as the weight, the grip, the feel, the customization options and durability. The 2 main issues I have with it is the backside grips peeling and not able to re glue or re attach due to shape change after peeling, and the usb charging slot being finicky, as most usb charging ports lose its durability and develop issues overtime. I went through 3 controllers abiut eveey 2 years due to those 2 issues continually developing. This newer edition, Elite 2, has some amazing upgrades I'm quite attracted to. One being the type C charging port upgrade, as they seem much more durable and also faster charging. Having a non replaceable internal battery seems sketchy to me like it will lose ability to charge over a long time like other batteries like it, but for me i replace it every 2 years anyways, so its an upgrade for my personal use. The grips dont feel as comfortable to me, they seem to feel sticky even though its clean and my hands are clean. Just not that comfortable but ive gotten used to it. Doesnt seem like they will peel as easy as the 1st Elite version but time will tell. Its lighter in weight and a little smaller in size which going back and fourth between the 2, i prefer the heavier weight to it and larger size but im sure thats going to be a preference per each user. The ability to tighten the resistance of the joysticks is great for more precision use. The paddles are smaller, but ive grown to like that aspect. You can use the original Elite paddles on the Elite 2 version, they do fit, if you like larger paddles, but going back and fourth, the smaller paddles feel better now. An added position for trigger locking is a good upgrade instead of just the 1 position the original offered. Already been useful to me. The rest os really the same. Same mapping options, different size joysticks that fit your style, the globe and cross D pad options of course. The case is nice with the charging pad inside just plug the charging cord through the back into the device, helps keep controller dust free while not in use charging but you can charge while playing as well. I had fun customizing the color of the main power button. There are also more save settings for your custom mapping layout, 4 total i believe but I only need 2 myself anyway, typically LB and RB mapped to the rear paddles so I dont need to loft my fingers off the triggers at all. Overall, I think its the best option, even from off brand manufacturers that charge even more for less options it seems. Be sure to get GS warranty for 50 bucks or whatever it is, replace it after couple years because its not cheap, but worth the investment if you game and want more of a competitive edge, or just max comfort while playing. Took away a star due to the rubber grip that just doesnt feel as good as it could have.

A lot options in this controller for any customization desired. Enjoyed this controller with the new halo thus far

Love this gaming controller, hoping it doesn't fail as I've heard of so many issues.

This is hands-down the best controller on the market and highly recommended if you play Halo, Call of Duty or Battlefield.

The controller itself is first class. I purchased it thinking that I could remap the triggers to be any keystroke that I wanted on the PC. Indeed, it is possible to do this, but you must purchase third party software at an additional cost to do it. The Xbox Accessories App only lets you remap the triggers to a button already present on the physical controller. I think this is a big oversight.

This controller can make a big difference in how you play, very customizable settings and has its own rechargeable battery and charging stand.

Great feeling controller. Makes you spoiled. The trigger reset is a game changer on FPS games.

Its good but you cant Customize it. As much as i thought

Great replacement for my elite. Love the new charging options.

The perfect controller. The paddles make the buttons obsolete. Completely programable. Love it.

Bought it as a gift and he loved it. He’s a die hard Xboxer so all the new features were amazing in his point of view.

My son absolutely loves it!, Switching from a regular controller to this was a little difficult for him but overtime it worked out great !

This is the newer version of the original with some new features and upgraded materials. Will take time as to how they all hold up.

Get the protection plan.This is always needed any time you purchase a new item. Saved you a lot in the long run. The cord breaks often.

This controller is so much better then the one that comes with the xbox. The feel the buttons the triggers, everything is more solid. The only complaint i have is when playing COD it was drifting bad so had to adjust the settings. Shouldn’t have to do that out of the box

Great value especially if you already have extra elite paddles lying around

I recomend this item is very easy to make moves in the game!

I absolutely love this controller. I have been looking for this remote for a while now for the right price and I found it at a decent enough one here.

Worth it when you buy the open box for it being half cost

Top of the line controller but can be really fragile. Either get a warranty or use the microsoft warranty.
