Not much difference...
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its a great controller, but not much different than the Elite 1... I'm so glad I waited to upgrade until my E1 grips fell off...
I would recommend this to a friend Is what it is
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great Xbox controller, bit packs holifax sensors so it will even get drift just like all controllers. USB c is nice but no rechargeable battery is still insane In 2026 especially for an elite controller.

Better Get a Warranty
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price, I would avoid these. They are too prone to issues (mine developed occasional stick drift after a few months). If they get down to $120, and you have Totaltech, they are pretty good. I use mine on my Switch, with a Bluetooth adapter, along with my Xbox, and it's nice when it isn't having troubles.

Good when it works...
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second elite controller. I've had it for a little over a year and the buttons are already going to crap. It gets a three because when it works it's great. However, I wouldn't recommend this controller to anyone.

Awesome controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller is much better than the original Xbox controllers. It’s heavier, has grips for your palms and much quicker analog stick movement.

The best controller!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this controller! The extra triggers, the grip, and the weight. Top notch controller.
I would recommend this to a friend Great controller
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The grip makes it easier to hold for me. I have physical challenges that can make holding a controller difficult. The textured grips really help. The mappable back buttons make all the difference. My hands are small, so it can be hard to move all around the controller. The back buttons help me manage longer play-time.
I would recommend this to a friendA must have upgrade!
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A must have for avid gamers!! The quality is much better than the standard controllers, buttons and joy sticks are more snappy!
