Customer Ratings & Reviews

First of all, it feels like the perfect controller. The heavy tension adjustment on the thumbsticks feel like it was always meant to be this way. The wrap around grips just feel right in your hands, and the back paddles have one of the most satisfying clicks I've ever felt on any controller. The only and I mean only flaw so far is the lack of removable batteries. It wasn't a design flaw to have options. If you wanted rechargeable batteries you could buy them separately. If those failed, you could just replace them later and slap in some disposable batteries in the meantime. That's gone now. If you want to change the batteries, or worst case scenario, HAVE to, you either void your warranty and disassemble the controller or pray that your warranty is still in effect and send it to Microsoft. For that reason alone I bought the geek squad warranty in addition to being wary of the grips that plagued the first series. I don't think that these will be issues any time soon, but I think the investment will be worthwhile since these controllers will be compatible with Scarlett. Other than that poor decision to internalize the battery, this controller feels perfect. The buttons are smooth and snappy and the adjustable triggers feel even better than the first series. I can't take a star away because of the internalized battery because I knew what it was when I bought it, but I really wished they wouldn't have made this move. It's worth the price in my opinion, but who knows what the future holds for it's longevity.

Returned this product. The bumpers have latency and lag, also don’t always register when playing. Don’t buy thinking you’ll be a superstar in MW2. Way overpriced when you can buy a series s for $50 more. Keeping my first Gen Xbox elite.

After a few hours of using the controller, I can officially say that this controller is 100% worth it. This controller is much better than the original Xbox Elite Controller. The paddles are much better, you don't accidently press the wrong paddle like the last gen elite controller. The thumbstick are adjustable to which you would like them. Another thing about the controller is no more batteries! Everything about the controller is good and I definitely recommend it!

Hard to beat the elite controller, but it suffers the same drift issues as the regular controller after moderate use.

Battery won’t hold a charge……………………………………………………………..

I bought this to replace the Elite Series 2 my drug addicted "friend" threw across the room when he was "startled." It only lives up to the hype for the first several months. Here's what to expect from your expensive toy going forward: After a several months of use, the rubberized grip on the handles will begin to peel off because it is stretched so tightly over the plastic shell. You can try pulling the rest of it off, to expose the plastic underneath, but only portions of it will come off. The rubberized nubs on the trigger lock switches will also fall off. Solution? Super glue, I suppose. The same thing happened with the Elite Series 1. I will say that the joysticks seem to last longer than that of the Elite Series 1. All of that said: The paddles, the tighter sticks, and the hair triggers make this my favorite controller. I only wish they could have solved the rubberized grip issues for the price I paid. Buyer beware.

years later and still works wonderfully. I thought it was a bit pricy when I first got it boy I understand it now. I've purchased others since then and none even halfway meet the quality or endurance.

thing isnt worth the cash broke within a few days of use never dropped it and always sat in case never was harsh on it and joystick went out

Was looking to have a controller that I could keep my thumb on the analog stick and press the buttons at the same time and this does exactly what I needed. Work well, battery has good life and seems durable. Would buy again

Just quit working one day losses connectivity when hardwired and cant connect via bluetooth, so heavy paper weight it becomes

Great controller and a great way to add more players.

worth buying better than original Xbox series X controller and battery last a lot longer then other brands

The controller is amazing if feels great and the paddles are nice my issue with this controller it that my trigger gets sticky bumpers double click buttons don’t register sometimes and I’m on my second one after this one is unusable I plan to just use a plain normal controller

The stick buttons were broken out of the box. It is difficult to click on on the sticks for games like cod

Had this bad boy for 2 years l. Right when my warranry ends, the controller just stopped working.

Awesome weight, feel and design. The multiple button customization and built-in trigger stops that give you an advantage in first person shooter combat really sell this controller

Love the controller.. Light weight lower price and great color

L+R triggers werent working when i was trying to use the controller completely dissapointed

Didn’t even work when I got it. Guess I’m using the 2 year warranty already after 2 hours.

My 3rd controller and the right bumper doesnt always work on all. Do not buy this series.
