Customer Ratings & Reviews

This controller is one of the best on the market, and for well reason. I’ve owned this remote for roughly 2 months now and has given me little to no problems. The only thing that I have noticed with the remote is sticky buttons but after a few gears of war sessions and COD it broke the remote in. The charging mechanism of the remote and even just the case it comes in is amazing and the quality of the remote.

I bought this mainly for FPS and the trigger stops. I like the flexibility it provides and the charging case is cool. I use the domed thumbstick on the right and the original Xbox one on the left. I do have some small stick drift on the right but it doesn't happen all the time. Its feels god in the hand, although smaller feeling. I only use two the paddles on the back. I wouldn't say it has improved anything but I feel more confident.

Works great just as it should. Never fails and it feels good in your hands

Microsoft gets a great review on this controller! Some really great improvements from my first gen Elite controller. My old paddles work perfect on this new series and it is now my go to controller.

I love this controller. Connects to my Xbox and my tablet! I have not connected it to my computer yet, but that is the plan too. I am getting used to the paddles, but the overall feel is nice. It is not as heavy as my old controller with a rechargeable battery in it. I am a big fan and may buy a second for myself. My son had a first generation one and upgraded for Christmas. He really likes his as well.

This controller is great but mine came with some uh faults like the palm end of the controller had a open space leading up to where its at now with a big opening controller still operating like new nevertheless most controllers would stop

By far the best controller ive ever played with! It fits in the hands very nice. Holding the controller is incredible! And youll never run out of ways to set up this controller to make it your own! I just wish there were more colors.

I’ve been using an Xbox elite controller since the first one came out and I must same they checked every box this time around and I love it even more. I play FPS games so much better since the introduction of paddles and I can’t play without them now lol worth every penny even got insurance which is a must for something like this. Built in battery, Bluetooth, long battery life 40hrs, 3 profiles for paddles, as well as adjustable joystick tension :D

Feels good in the hands and the battery life is way better than I expected.

Stick drift is a killer. On 3rd set of elite controllers and all have failed to stick drift and or bumper failing.

Must have controller when playing games as longer battery life, easier rechargability, paddles, and stick tensioner

There's plenty of third-party accessories for this controller, so don't feel like you're missing out on anything and they can be had for less than buying the regular Elite controller. The only downside is that there's no way to easily replace it if there's stick drift. I wish it had Hall Effect joysticks or replaceable ones like another Edge controller for another company ;-), but that said, I still have the original Elite and it's working great and it's a few years old at this point. So I have no fear this will also pass the test of time!

It’s branded. It’s customizable. It’s built for PC and console. Works great, feels great. Even my sweaty hands appreciate the slight rubberized touch. The stick tops fall off if the controller falls. Don’t let it fall.

This controller looks similar to the original but its nothing near it. You can feel the quality once its held in your hands. The rubber on the left and right stick have some grip which make all the difference and it also has adjustable trigger depth to help make it more sensitive. The home button also changes colors which is awesome if your looking for that custom look.

The controller is over all good the buttons need to be sealed more to keep dirt and dust out of them.

I’ve been gaming with the elite controller since the Series 1 had released. Coming from an avid gamer, switching from a regular controller to an elite, literally heightens your response time and you’ll gain some extra instincts in-game. The variety and creativity of setting customizations with this controller are intuitive and furthermore intriguing. I have 3 presets; COD, Elden Ring, and Cyberpunk! Which each are unique to their own button mapping layouts. (TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE BACK TAB BUTTONS.) I say if you want to up your gaming experience this is definitely a main tool that will offer that change of play! My only CON would be the peeling that they’ve yet to fix on the side seam of the controllers. With that being said, I highly recommend buying a replacement program through Best Buy. It’s a pocket $aver forsure!

Looks and feels great. Did not contain the hotkey bars I was expecting that came with the previous models. Still, I was able to take my old ones and use those. Other than that, it’s great!

Much better than the 8 year old elite I had. Lighter weight, feels more solid and all the inputs feel more crisp

Make sure you buy Best buy's $60 2-year warranty on this. You're going to be able to use it. I'm on my third one now. You have to buy a new warranty every time you trade it in for issues (stick drift on all of them. Right bumper stopped working on one of them. A button got so mushy you couldn't even feel when you were pressing it on two of them). But only having to pay the warranty cost after the initial purchase has been good. It's worth the $60/yr since I would have been wearing out a normal controller every year anyway. The Microsoft should really be ashamed of themselves for using plastic underneath of the joysticks on their elite controllers.

It's a recent generation xbox controller, so it can easily connect to your windows pc without the need of a dongle. The back buttons... on the back... are a life-changer. I would personally have a hard time going back to a controller without back buttons. You can customize the back buttons -and I think the general buttons too- however you want. You can have up to 4 back buttons in total and they are all removable. So if you are unsure about using them all at once, you can simply ease into it. The price is expensive, so make sure to properly think if you want such a product, but it is cheaper than getting the xbox core controller and the separate accessories. Great to play on your xbox or if you like to use controllers for your pc, it is easy to do so.
