Customer Ratings & Reviews

I picked up this $180 controller because I wanted to see if Microsoft really made it better than the first one, and I must say after having it for a week of long gaming sessions I can say this: Amazing controller but Microsoft did not need to add the extra $30 to the price tag.

Best controller ive ever used, no batteries is extremely nice and the paddles make games much more easy. Great investment

Great controller all around - grippy texture, mappable buttons and paddles - and I always like using the long thumb stick on the left side and shorter one on the right

Mid grade but at least it's first party. Sad that this is the best they can do. No screenshot button, terrible build quality or consistency, in had to buy 3 before I got one with both working bumpers and A button. Premium feel but way too heavy, plus too small for my man hands. Overall i wish it were better but I will use it, especially for the under side paddles. At this point I can't game without them.

My 8th elite controller. Works great and feels great. Paddle locations are the best out of other controllers with paddles.

Controller feels amazing and paddles are very nice. Only issue is the left stick. I’d suggest the protection plan if your left stick starts to break or drift. Only reason for the 4 star but best buys coverage is great.

I didn’t really believe this controller could be much better than the stock version that comes with the Xbox X, but I was very wrong. This thing is smoother, faster, more comfortable and fun. It is far more responsive especially in multiplayer games than the original controller. Worth the $$

Rechargable, last forever, overall well made. Very customizable! Buy the Best Buy extended warranty on this though...its saved me a fortune on new controllers!

I like the feel. it has weight which makes it more stable to hold. Have an issue with stick drift on the left stick.

Great controller works great for gaming. Best controller with a great price

Best controller for overall use. I bought this for connection to my laptop and ipad for gaming! connects no problem!

The #1 thing I've learned over the past few years and dozens of controllers purchased is this: If you're serious about aiming in FPS games on Xbox (not PC/not my wheelhouse), you must buy 1st party Xbox controllers. Microsoft uses a custom algorithm that is only running when using their controllers. So using this knowledge that leaves 3 choices: Xbox Core, Xbox Elite 2 Core, and Xbox Elite 2. If you want back buttons, you have to go Elite. I can vouch that buying the latest lot number i could find of the Elite 2 Core gave me a controller that feels much more put together than an Elite 2 i got in 2020. It should last this time.

The controller works perfect and I’ve had no problems out of it!

Great controller. A lot of customization and features. The only issue is the analog sticks. They will eventually get stick drift unfortunately.

My grandson likes the way the controller feels in his hand when he's playing on the game.

Play about 4 hours a day. This is the only PRO Controller that has been able to withstand my daily playing style. I have tried 3 different companies and they all break within 6 months to a year.

Favorite among the “pro” controllers. Love the sturdy, heavy feel of the controller. Customization options are better then every other controller. Recommend it 100%

The controller was on back order so I was super excited when it became available(covid and what not). Overall the controller has unmatchable customization, but like other reviews say it has its problems... the A and B button don’t Respond 1 in 10 presses.. which isn’t that big of a deal since you can use the paddles... that’s all cool until the paddles do the same. I love this controller. I swapped from years of playing claw on a regular x-box controller. All I can say is buy it from Best Buy and get the geek squad 2 year protection. Geek squad has no questions asked and you get a new one. This controller is plagued with problems.... so use Best Buy

Very nice controller and definitely worth a premium price, but I would wait and try to scoop it up on a sale because $200 is a little steep for an Xbox remote that isn’t a custome built one.
