Customer Ratings & Reviews

Precision gaming unleashed! Customizable buttons, paddles, and thumbsticks make this controller a game-changer. Ergonomic design, long battery life, and seamless Bluetooth connectivity. A top-notch choice for competitive gamers and anyone seeking precision.

I've really been enjoying this controller. The rechargeable battery was something I'm glad this came with. I like the old 360 thumb sticks which this comes with an assortment of different ones. The D-pad pictured in the advertisement is nice for fighting games but you can switch that out too. The only real issue I've had is with the paddles on the bottom. You'll need to train your muscle memory to accept them. Overall, they are the better way to play. Do yourself a favor and disable the x y a b buttons in the menus on the XBox/PC. The controller is heavy compared to the standard ones. It's solid and the grip is awesome. You'll need to relinquish that death grip most people play with in order to get accustomed to the paddles. Another thing is that the paddles are great for reassigning buttons like the Thumbstick - To - Run assignment most Call of Duty games have. Sea of Thieves does this. Again it's relearning how to walk, run, and jump. When you finally get it, your K/D ratio will increase dramatically, ie you are no longer taking your thumbs off the movement sticks to hit buttons. Some of the more advanced features are not explained like cording several buttons together for special commands.

From a 3rd party controller to this it’s an absolute game changer. It’s slightly heavier than a standard 1st party Xbox controller but well worth it for what you get inside. The custom light mod on the Xbox accessories app is so cool to use I rock a red color and it really makes it pop with the black controller. Plus the sensitivity on the triggers is such a cool advantage in FPS games. I highly recommend this controller to any serious gamer especially if your on PC and to pair it I use an 8Bitdo adapter which is also available through Best Buy which is a much better connection than standard Bluetooth through your PC.

Work greats never dies during long gaming sessions even when powering a headset. Super customizable very durable

I was a bit hesitant to buy this, especially because of the pricing. Wasn’t sure if the price was gonna make it up or feel any different than any regular controller I used but I was so wrong. You can feel a difference in a quality controller. I love the case it comes with and the customization is great. Need to play a few hours with it to change it to your settings. Charging battery is a lot better as well and the pads make it easier to play more competitive if that’s what you want.

Best controller I’ve used! The paddles are such a game changer (ha ha). But seriously the weight, the quality are far above the standard controllers. Highly recommend

Great controller love the customization of the sticks, Dpad, and the triggers. Very premium feel as well as it feeling very sturdy. Connectivity is great as well with bluetooth. Price is a bit high for a controller honestly though.

The best controller you could ever buy for Xbox and pc. Would be 5 stars, except the bumpers can’t seem to last longer than a couple of years. Definitely get the replacement plan on it. Other thank that, it’s comfortable, solid, highly customizable and extremely precise.

The controller its self is very confortable, and easy to set up. Having the option to choose your trigger pull and analog/joystick setup/range is nice as well. My ONLY complain is the stick drift is absolutely terrible after using the control for a few months. I feel like im constantly having to go back and replace the controller cause of the stick drift on the either joysticks. Besides that the controller is very good.

I love this controller bc it feels great on hand, has lots of customization with the paddles m, sticks ans the friction which makes this awesome. I play cod a lot and tjis controller does everything for me. Oh it lasts a loooong time. Amazing battery life and no beed to change batteries since uts rechargeable.

The controller is sturdy, responsive, works great. The new design that uses rechargeable batteries and included charging stand, is a much improved feature over prior generation that used a cable to power the device. Prior design also ran on alkaline batteries, but constantly had to replace them, costly. The rechargeable batteries last long time between charges. No cons with the new design. Little pricey, but worth it. Make sure to purchase extended warranty, helps reduce replacement cost down the line.

Fantastic controller! Been eyeing this one for a while now, and decided that while I'm waiting for the Series X to get back in stock I'd finally treat myself to the controller. I haven't weighed the controller, but I'd estimate it's maybe 40-50% heavier than a standard controller, which is nice to me. The finish looks better than the standard controller and is more "stealth" matte in appearance, and the rubberized grips really do form a subtle grip to my hands within a few minutes (my hands don't sweat during gaming sessions, your mileage may vary). I removed the two lower paddles for the time being and have the two upper paddles set for "sprint" and "reload/interact" in the first profile. It's nice to not take my thumb off of the right stick to tap X to reload. I haven't experimented with the other stick options yet, but I did put the normal D-pad selector on (they're magnetic, so simply pop one off and put the other on). The round D-pad just didn't feel natural, and in both cases the D-pad click is much more definitive and audible than a standard controller...it's the only nitpick I have, but I can live with it. My box does have a FST-00001 label on it, but the manufacturing date puts it in the early part of October 2020. I don't know if Microsoft just gave up on the FST-00008 labels or not, and the Best Buy guys I posed the question to didn't know what I was talking about. They were surprised when I pointed out the model number on the shelf tag didn't match the one on the box. I haven't perceived any of the quality issues that plagued the earlier controller models (no stick drift, bumper feel solid, all LEDs work), so hopefully all will be well. All in all, I like it. I've only been using it for a couple of weeks or so, and when I pick up a plain old regular controller, my middle fingers instinctively look for the paddles, and only then do I realize how accustomed I am to the controller already.

Excellent so far just make sure you buy the charger because it didn’t come with it. Actually it had a cord with a USB that plugs into the Xbox but that never worked so I had to buy a secondhand one on eBay. The charge lasts like one week playing every day so that’s good and it’s a very it feels very heavy duty like it’ll last. It’s expensive tho.

Super high quality product. Comes with all 4 paddles, and 4 extra joysticks depending on preference. Comes in a nice carrying case also. It’s got some weight on it and feels like a very sturdy product.

Have a black series 2 controller and the core and the back pedals are helpful. The stop triggers are a nice feature and the battery life lasts days on a single charge. These controllers are comfortable. The only thing about my black one is I had it for two months and it already has a slight stick drift with the right stick.

It works great the programmable back triggers are a bit confusing to set up on pc but once you figure it out its great. I would prefer detachable batteries . The interchangeable d pad and thumb sticks are magnetic so great when need to make adjustments.

Bottoms stick and stick drift for the price you Figure the bumpers won’t stick after six months, but that’s why you must get the warranty

I bought the Elite because I was sick of bumpers/sticks etc. breaking on my standard Xbox controller. And for a while, these controllers performed well. They feel great, the weight is good, and the accessories/customization options are a plus. But the bumpers still don't last. Look, I'm not throwing my controller around, dropping it, or button mashing. But somehow, miraculously, Microsoft made the bumpers on the Elite controller just as poorly as the original controllers; they get mushy/break with regular, long-term use. Overall, it's a good controller. Just pay up and get the Best Buy warranty, because you'll probably need it.

Love the button mapping and customizability and very comfortable love the built in battery

Good controller, but tends to get stick drift fairly quickly.
