Customer Ratings & Reviews

Must have for gamers. I love that you can customize the controller button layout. The ability to swap out the thum sticks for the classic 360 style.

The top bumpers stopped working with the first month. 3 months in, they work every now and then. I’ve had issues in The middle of a game with them and it has been frustrating.

good control, nice feature really smooth in the bumpers i like how you can change how hard you can push on the awesome interchangeable back paddles

Great controller y button didnt work at first might be a controller defect

This controller was one that I had my eyes on for a long while. After finally receiving it, I was a bit disappointing at how similar it feels to the other Xbox controllers. Besides the excellent controller grips and color, the thumb stick sensitivity is like the regular Xbox controllers. Xbox controllers in general have a bigger gap when it comes to precise thumb stick aiming than PlayStation so it was disappointing to see that the elite controller is the exact same when it is advertised as being able to set your thumb stick sensitivity. This is nowhere near the same sensitivity as Returned after a few days of testing.

It’s an okay controller. Didn’t like how bad the stick drift was and the issue started not long after purchasing, it was never dropped either.

This was a Excellent purchase I am very happy with my purchase and excited with the use of this controller and the software that is available for it.

Best controller you can get for a good price would recommend to anyone who wants a better controller

It’s heavy compared to the rest of the newer gen controllers. But the stick drift is unreal. Whatever you do, make sure to purchase the warranty if you buy this controller!

Needed to replaced a well used controller. Although a little pricier, i was pleasantly surprised at how versatile the settings were and the simplicity of adjustments for most any play style. Money well spent in my opinion !!! Very pleased with this controller choice !

I love this thing. It even logs you in. Now it just needs to verify when you buy.

First, I had the elite controller 1st generation, and it stopped sending audio to the headset. I thought that it was my headset so I bought a new one. I had the same issues with a new headset. I found out that it was actually the controller. After my elite 1st gen failed (after about 1yr.), I bought the elite 2. I figured the failure of the first may have been a fluke. However, after about 9 months, the elite 2 started to have issues with headset audio… Which happened after “A” button issues. Then, I started to have issues with the controller randomly disconnecting from the xbox in the middle of gameplay. Now, it just totally failed. All of a sudden (middle of gameplay), half of the buttons stopped working. Tried resetting the Xbox, resetting the controller, and still not working. Don’t waste $200 on a controller that only lasts 1yr. Happened with my elite 1, and again with the elite 2.

Controller constantly gets stuck drift but feels good on hand. If you play FPS don’t get this

Very good controller but if you play aggressive it may not last as long due to all the interchangeable parts but I still recommend

Pros: customizable, sleek, very easy to use Cons: the hit sticks don't completely work. yes movement is there but the controller does not recognize when I push the sticks down. The value is there with the open box.

Right bumper stops working after a couple of months for the price your getting it’s not worth it.

Upgraded my original Elite remote to this one and I am finally able to use the rear buttons. For some reason the original remotes rear buttons were to large/long and I would accidentally press them all the time. With the new remote they’ve improved on that a lot. Great remote.

I love the build of the controller. You can tell the quality from the first time you pick it up. The metal build is like no other

If you have the original Elite 2 with the paddles, sticks, and charger, then this one is the perfect one to get. Works just like the original, but better price. The only beef is eventually you will get stick drift which sucks because all controllers get stick drift, but you pay more for this one. The controller settings allow you to mitigate the drift for a while, but eventually you will have to buy another, or do surgery on the controller.

4th time purchasing out of warranty. (1-3 were all the first gen elite controllers). 1st controller had stick drift even with dead zones set crazy high. 2nd controller right thumb stick was pressed and never retracted. 3rd controller the battery would die after 10 min of use (had to use wired). Decided to give a shot at the second gen elite figured they might have ironed out their issues AND NOW MY 4th has unbelievable controller drift. I will never buy a overpriced controller again from Microsoft. I’ve wasted almost 800 I’m just happy this last controller took a **** before the return date was up. It’s sad because I really loved the controller but I can only take so much abuse. I will be returning tomorrow
