Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my third elite controller, and it works well. It feels good to use and does what it's meant to do. I docked it by one star because my past two have had the shoulder buttons fail, which seems to be a recurring problem for these controllers. I have yet to see if this issue has been addressed by Microsoft or if the same problem is still present.

This one of the best controllers on the market. Well worth the price tag of $180 added with the Microsoft wireless adapter for $25. I recently got into gaming on the PC and was previously using a standard Xbox one controller. the difference between the standard and the elite is night and day. More advanced options, slightly heavier, comfortable grips, switchable parts, and a battery life that will last your for a couple of days on a full charge. No complaints yet.

The quality of the gamepad is unbeatable. So unbeatable that I’ve opted to replace 3 different ones now (buying the insurance each time) because the button receivers on these eventually go bad. My first one lasted me around 8 months before the RB receiver went bad and started failing intermittently. Second one lasted me about 8 months before a faulty LB receiver went bad and it had to be replaced. My third one lasted around 6 months before the left stick button’s receiver went bad and had to be replaced. Overall - awesome controller and I refuse to use any other game pad… just make sure you buy the insurance. Hopefully a series 3 will bring receivers that last the long haul a bit better.

Definitely recommend. I’ve had a couple of these controllers over the years and will keep one as long as I have a Xbox. The controller weighs just a little bit more but it feels great actually feels like it has value. Battery life is very nice as well.

Loce the fact that i dont have to replace batteries all the time with this controller and in which, the internal battery last a while, thinking close to 20hrs before recharging if not longer. Enjoying the customization and button mapping for the extra slots.

Can’t play without this controller. Great grip, great feel. Drifts in some games though, not all.

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.

The controller is good. Plagued with issues of buttons not responding, triggers failing, stick drift but when it works it works well. I have one and my son has one. Mine still works great. My sons is another story.

The controller is awesome and last pretty long too with battery. However, it’s a good idea to get the warranty on it if you’ll use this frequently when gaming. These are definitely not immune to stick drift or some buttons sticking.

Love my Elite 2. I've tried other pro level controllers but went back to the Elite 2. Love its weight and how customizable it is. Be sure to get the warranty though, they're not fragile but their lifespan is notoriously bad. Ive gone through 2 but thanks to the warranty replacing them was a breeze.

I had an Elite Series 2 for over a year. Many buttons failed. Wanting to keep the high end controller experience continue, i opted for the Core. Bery peased. Great feel. A few button misses which are to be expected with an Elite. Its common but not a big deal.

This thing is a game changer. Extremely tight gameplay. The hair trigger option is very cool and the buttons just feel higher quality. It’s a little heavier than a normal controller abut feels great in your hands. The buttons underneath take some time to get used to but are all fully customizable. It comes with a very cool charging/ travel case which is great. I would recommend this to any serious gamer. Huge improvement over my standard controller.

Beautiful pro controller. Sturdy stable and 0 lag.

Best controller for Xbox and pc, great quality 100%

Best controller ever! Extended use can make some buttons sticky. Over fantastic. Love the adjustability.

The best controller I’ve ever used! So good that I’ve replaced it multiple times just to keep one

The controller is so comfortable in the hands while gaming and suitable with my big hands and it doesn’t slip off which is very good experience

Its pretty comfortable to use has a good weight and its easy to put together

The controller feels so nice to play on especially with the grips on the controller and its clean design. I don’t have to worry about battery life as much because charging Is such a breeze and it’s lasts for a long while.

The first thing I noticed was the heft of the controller. This thing is rock solid. I will say, playing with all four paddles didn’t let me get as good a grip as I wanted, so I only play with the top two (I have large hands and the lower ones got in the way), but I enjoy the advantage of being able to keep my thumb planted on the right stick. There is slight drift in the right stick out of the box and adjusting the stick tension did not fix it. That being said, it is so slight it’s so far only registered when looking at the map in Warzone. It otherwise has not affected my play. The short-throw trigger setting is great for any repeated with the trigger motion (e.g., semi-auto shooting). The paddles let me crouch and jump while aiming in CoD like the PC players, replace my stick presses for added finesse in NHL, and make some fun paddle shifters in Forza. Definitely a fun addition to my One X and happy to know it is forward compatible for the transition to the Series X. If you have the money to burn, it’s a fun addition, but not a necessity.
