Customer Ratings & Reviews

I owned the elite series 1 and this one just feels a lot better than the first one. I've heard a lot of people complain about the dreaded "drifting", but as of yet I haven't had any problems with that or any other problems. Would defiantly recommend this controller.

this is a big improvement over the original Xbox controller, love it!

love the extra buttons and great for remapping. great controller.

Plain and simple. Solid, grippy, has a weight, travel case, wireless charge, bye bye battery pack, changeable thumbstick, D-Pad, along with the paddles on the back, adjustable trigger stoppers, USB-C, and custom profiles designed to your own likings. Overall it's a great pickup for your setup or just a controller to experience a different way in gaming era

Solid. Durable. Has a lot more grip than the counterparts.

Great value for what I paid for it. I got it for PC gaming.

Works as expected. Good quality. No complaints. Nice feel.

I bought this used controller from the Best Buy in Hillsboro, OR a few months ago and was absolutely shocked at the quality of the item(s). I know that buying Open Box items comes with significant risks, but I did NOT know that among them were risks to my health. To begin with, I would like to reiterate my awareness of the possibility that Open Box, As-Is items may be missing some things. But the absence of the vast majority of the parts that come with this item was a real surprise and letdown. The item was an Xbox Elite Series 2 controller, which comes with 2 sets of (2) paddle-style attachments for use on the rear of the controller. The unit I received had none whatsoever. This was disheartening to say the least, but I honestly don't know if I could have brought myself to pick the unit up with bare hands. Why? Because this was the single dirtiest piece of video gaming equipment I have seen in my 35 years on earth. There was a layer ... of what I can only hope is food grease.... on every surface of the unit. Smears, smudges, and flakes of an unknown white substance covered the handgrips, buttons, D-Pad, triggers... - the whole thing in other words, having become stuck in the grease that covered it. But then I put on my glasses. Upon closer inspection I became even more disgusted with my Best Buy purchase. When I looked at the grooves in the face of the controller, I saw that they were caked with an unknown, whitish/yellowish/brownish residue (which I can only assume is skin. truly revolting). It was absolutely obvious to me that this unit had not been cleaned, restored, or even looked at by anyone whatsoever. It seems to me that anyone with reasonable judgement would never accept a return of this quality (I paid around $100 for the unit by the way, of my hard-earned cash which I have precious little of, being a 35-year-old laborer with no higher education) and dare charge the price I paid for it - it would be cruel and predatory. I was so disgusted with this thing that it has been in my closet since. I no longer trust Best Buy. I had bought a membership to My Best Buy Plus the very day all of this happened. But I feel that I was swindled that day - at the very least. The unit I was given was among the most disappointing purchases I have made in my life. I felt misled, cheated, and lied to. So, unfortunately, I have not returned to Best Buy since. I would have liked to make good use of the My Best Buy Plus membership I purchased that day and was excited to enroll and make frequent use of it. But again, since that day I have not returned. Video games are an escape from the injustices of life in this day and age for me usually but buying this unsanitary and feature-bare unit brought distrust and stress into the equation for something that I usually love. To go on, I like to avoid confrontation, if possible. I learn my lessons when necessary and am not as articulate as I am in this medium when expressing frustrating problems face to face. And, on top of this, I was a bit dejected about the whole subject - it was a personal embarrassment to have been "screwed" so to speak. And I assumed that the person who had approved the sale of the bad unit worked there and might not be much help... (My wife stated about the controller: "I'm not touching that." when I showered it to her, wondering if I was overreacting. The Xbox is hers anyway and this would have been her controller.) So as far as I am concerned at this time, I was reminded of one of life's hard lessons that day - that the things (in this case Best Buy) we trust and love the most can turn their backs on you in an instant. I cannot express how disappointed I was with the item I received. Best Buy was on a short list of stores that I trusted - I was always happy to go there because I knew I would receive top quality merchandise (I've bought open-box on other occasions as well). But my experience that day voided the good regard I had for Best Buy stores. It's really unfortunate and a bit disheartening. I pray that no one else has gotten a unit like I received. It appeared to be a health hazard. Sincerely, Preston S. Disappointed customer and member of My Best Buy Plus since 2024

The slick design to fill in the interchangeable pad and analogs…

This is his second one. He loves them. Uses them for PC mostly.

Never last more than a year with moderate use. Some key components are cheaply made. Otherwise its great.

Such an amazing controller, but still flawed by design quality. Joystick magnets can get a little wonky, and I'm already noticing the grips starting to peel off after not much use. Still, don't regret my purchase at all. They will need to improve to complete with the PS5 controller though...

My order was ready on time and the person who brought it out was very helpful

Customizable beyond belief. You’ll love this for FPS games.

ALWAYS PLEASED WITH A NEW CONTROLLER. COMFORT AND QAULITY

This is the best Xbox Controller to have it's phenomenal!

Enjoy your controller soft and sexy it recommended for other they can also benefit from it

This controller was a hard purchase for the money. Let me tell you though it was completely worth it. I have loved it since the first time I used it to play. The ability to tighten the sticks is a very big deal and makes a huge improvement.

Major improvement to my gaming – feels like I’m cheating... XD

Excellent controller. Better than previous versions
