Customer Ratings & Reviews

My son uses this on Xbox and loves it. It is a little pricy, but a good splurge item.

The gamepad has a nice weight to it and feels very premium.

High end controller! Durable and it just feel and works so much better thanks the genetic ones.

Honestly the best controller I have used yet. Even without using the extra buttons and triggers, the weight and size of this controller just feel right. They seem to have resolved the issues we all had with the original Elite controller and offer plenty of customization options with extra sticks and buttons.

It’s been over a year and I started experiencing problems it was perfect up until now didn’t have complaints up until now I thought it would last longer but it was good while it lasted it still works just annoying things like scrolling crazy fast for no reason and moving my aiming slightly.

I really love this controller! Originally purchased an elite series 2, and traded for this and haven’t looked back. I bought some aftermarket paddles and I’m good to go for pretty much anything I could want to control in a game. I have found that it’s super helpful to map the L3 and R3 button clicks to the bottom paddles. That is worth the price of admission alone the triggers feel amazing, the grips in your hands on your skin just feel next level. I recently purchased an Xbox to play Starfield being a PS5 I thought I was going to have problems with the controller, but I prefer this one to the PlayStation. If you are a new Xbox user go for this upgrade with confidence!

Feels so comfortable in my hands when playing it’s a huge step up from a basic controller and how you can customize is awesome i definitely recommend

This is a fantastic control with good grip and great handle

This Xbox controller really does make a difference in game play. It may be slightly heavier that regular controller, but the accuracy makes the difference. I would recommend this controller over the regular one any day.

Works good little expensive but all around good product

I love it…. So worth it. To be able to remap it in ur Xbox and change ur controller to ur favor. Like trigger locking to Increase fire rate and using the paddles in the back to save thumb movements and a really long battery life and it easily connects to PC and other devices as well.

Love this controller! Is one of the main reasons why I’m on Xbox ! As it has some weight to it

The perfect controller. Paddles are stiff and high quality. The comfort of the controller is really nice. LOVE IT!

Does everything you hope it will do and more. The controller is easy to use, easy to charge and the paddles on the back are comfortable. I haven’t had any issues with stick drift but did have a little X button stickiness from first opening. No issues or concerns with the controller and well worth the price tag.

By far this is the absolute best controller I've ever used... it just feels like quality in your hands... and one you're used to using the paddles, you have the upper hand against ppl with a normal controller in any FPS game! I know it's expensive, but if you play a lot of FPS games, do yourself a favor and buy this!!!

So I purchased the Elite Series 2 controller, last year when it first came out, I actually swapped it for my original Elite controller (I had gone through a few of those as the rubber on the back came off them easily but that's another story). I was taken aback by the fact that the controller has a built-in battery. This is good in theory but the long term ramification is that eventually, the battery won't hold a charge as long as it once did, and eventually, it won't hold a charge at all. This is problematic since you have no way of swapping the battery out as you could in any other controller. But, the reason I'm writing this review now is that I'm having an issue that so many other people are having, my Series 2 is starting to have button response issues. More specifically the right bumper is barely registering my pressing it and sometimes doesn't seem to acknowledge it at all. I have an extended warranty with Best Buy but they are unable to replace it due to the fact that they don't have anymore. They suggested that I contact Microsoft about replacing the controller, but with a mere 90-day limited warranty, that ensures that by the time most people have issues like mine, they will be well outside of the manufacturer's warranty period. It's a real shame because the controller when it works is pretty good, the weight is satisfying and when everything works it's a very responsive controller. But I can't recommend the controller knowing that it probably won't even make it a full year with standard use.

The elite series 2 controller is fantastic. I will never go back to another controller. The only problem with these is that they break down easily. An example of this is the bumpers just stop working. Definitely an item to get geek squad protection on as they will replace it for you.

Absolute game changer. Unlocks a lot more usage and advantages during a game all at once.

Love the feel its perfect and how you could customize the triggers

This is the only controller that works for me. It's got a quality feel as a heavier controller, the paddles are ergonomically placed, and the thumbsticks allow for good control. However, I would only recommend this controller to those that are gentle with their controllers or that have the disposable income to keep replacing it. I have had at least 8 of these over the years and I have to keep replacing because the thumbsticks get drift rather quickly, and I've had frequent issues with the paddles becoming unusable or the bumpers becoming unusable. Get the protection plan!
