Customer Ratings & Reviews

You can adjust the strength of the joysticks and it helps me in comps. It’s a great and sturdy controller. You also don’t have to buy batteries just plug and go.

I have always preferred the Xbox controller over the Playstation controller, especially because I play a lot of FPS games, but in general it feels better to me. Elite version is heavier, has rubberized grip, and the build of the controller feels premium (as it should for the cost). With all the accessories and adjustments (various thumb sticks, d-pads, paddles, and adjustable triggers), you can make the controller as custom, as needed. It has been my best controller ever purchased and worth the amount I paid. Get that Geek Squad protection, just in case! ;) Buy it and have fun!

This is my second one. The first was great for about 9 months but then I developed stick drift even though I keep it in the case and my hands are always clean. The reason I bought another is because I tried to use a stock controller but I'm used to the elite. No other controller feels as solid or as high quality as this one. I've tried the Scuf and if you hold this one, you can feel the difference. I'll not go to another brand for as long as I play

Had this controller for 6 months now and they work great . They did NOT come with the extra buttons (paddles) on the bottom of the controller justFYI .

Love this controller! Very smooth and has great back paddles

Definitely better than the first model. Not having the share feature is a bummer

Does the job I need it to do. This a is great color & works well.

Controller works great, definitely a good upgrade from the standard series s controller. Gonna get the accessory pack soon so I can use the paddles.

Great controller definitely worth its price. Great for racing games and also FPS games. The ability to map the buttons and having different levels of trigger response makes a huge difference. The 4 extra paddles in the back are great to have shortcuts with certain games.

Solid build and great customization options. Never drops connection through bluetooth. Excellent battery life that can last 3 days straight. Paddles will need to be bought separately, however.

Great premium feel without being too heavy, nice customization options and fantastic battery life.

I have owned this controller for 3 years give or take. I have never thrown or dropped this controller. I have always kept it in its case, on my desk. It has never traveled or been taken anywhere. It has never had a single drop of liquids touch it. I had to have it replaced twice due to manufacturer defects. I have babied this thing, because I have cancer and cannot work, I cannot afford the astronomical price to replace it. But after hearing the rattle of something small moving around inside the controller for a few weeks, I decided to open it up today. What I found should be an absolute embarrassment for Microsoft. Upon further inspection, it became obvious to me that the plastic that is used to make this controller was deteriorating on its own. The grips were peeling off, several chunks of thin flimsy plastic had somehow broken off on their own on the interior of the controller. Again, this controller has never, not once, absorbed any kind of shock. There has not been a single event or instance that could have caused even a single piece of the controller to break. Yet somehow, there are several broken off pieces and parts. The only conclusion I can come to is that Microsoft uses extremely cheap materials to make them. And for a $200 controller, that is shameful. And with the warranty only being a year, its pretty clear that Microsoft is 100% aware that this controller will not last. And now here I am, clearly a fool for trusting Microsoft to make a quality, top of the line controller. What a huge letdown. When it works correctly, I loved it. But between stick drift and constant bumper issues, along with the very cheap materials used, I cannot recommend this in good conscience. I have a 3rd party Xbox One controller that has seen at least double the use, been dropped, thrown, tossed, had soda, water, coffee, etc. spilled on it (it is used by my kids), and is also 2 years older, that works flawlessly still to this day and cost 1/5 of the price. I feel a bit scammed. This controller has so much potential, if only Microsoft put some care and quality craftmanship into the manufacturing process. Instead, they are trying to fool us into having to buy a new one every year or 2.

Great controller, once you’ve played with back paddles you can’t go back. Easy to program on your console. I can honestly give it 5 stars because I don’t count the normal wear and tear of a controller. I get a new controller whenever the stick drift gets too unbearable which is around 18mos for this particular controller. Some of the more expensive controllers tend to wear out sooner than that.

Xbox controllers have always felt great, and this one builds on that. The sticks are good and even though there are reports of stick drift later, if you have the best buy protection you can easily swap them out!

Love the customization. Lots customization. Only thing I hate on this is the price. Hoping it last longer than the original since that started to have left joystick “stick-drift”. Wish the battery was removable. Feel like MS did the whole recharge battery thing knowing that rechargeables only last so long. Meaning more money for MS if it’s time to replace because of a battery death. We shall see what dies first: the joystick or the battery

I'm a PC player that likes to use a controller with casual games like Fallout and GTAV. I purchased this because i prefer the Xbox form compared to PS. The weight of the controller is fantastic, the buttons feel great. the whole thing just feels very premium. I went to a buddies house and used his regular Xbox controller for the night and I felt like a pleb in comparison. Night and day difference, 4 stars because the price is just as heavy as the controller.

Great product.. very responsive. Durable and ergonomic

Very high quality feeling has a nice weight and is customizable

This controller is great. Seems like there were some quality issues with the first series elite controller but this one appears to have better quality. Had it for a couple of months now and showing very little signs of wear. Being able to switch out the sticks is what I like the most about it. The added paddle buttons help, but be aware that they don’t act as extra buttons. They only replace current buttons or can act as a shift button.

A must have if you are playing at a competative level on console , the paddles are awsome because you get to play more effeciently and the controller feels very premium
