Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the controller's exceptional overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. Users also frequently praise the device's comfortable grip, balanced weight, and high-quality tactile feel. However, some customers have expressed concerns regarding the durability of the buttons and bumpers, as well as the early onset of stick drift. Despite these technical frustrations and the premium price point, many still consider it a top-tier gaming accessory.

    My husband spends time on his Xbox most every night. He has had the original Elite controller ever since it first came out. Someone we know accidentally broke one of the bumpers, so I surprised him with this for Christmas. He loves it even more than his last one, and that's saying something.

      Happy gaming,

    My brother in law loves it, but it didn’t come with the customizable back bumpers like the black one. Be aware of that, as you have to buy them separately

    Elite 2 controller is awesome. Doesn’t come with the paddles so if you don’t have those, you can’t use it to it’s full extent. It is definitely worth the purchase though

    Huge upgrade from the standard controller. Feels substantial. Comes with extra sets. Y button seems to be a little particular but that is apparently a common complaint. Expensive, but xbox packaging and accessories make it feel worth the money

    Not a bad controller. If you are using it on a daily basis I would go with a scuff and learn 2 paddle as it’s more reliable

    This controller improves upon everything I love about the normal Xbox controllers. The tactile feel of the grips is great, the dpad circle works surprisingly well, and I love the trigger adjustment.

    My new favorite xbox controller. I have been wanting to try this controller for a long time and when I started getting into Souls games, it tipped me over the edge. It's been a wonderful controller for ease of use with soul's games.

    Stick drift day one

    I’ve owned around 12 of these controllers over the last 4 years. Between the Elite 1 & 2, there is a definite quality change in the feel of the control. Usually they last me between 4-6 months. I always buy the extended warranty because they break on me so consistently from just normal use. With my most recent purchase, I noticed stick drift occurring within the first day. I’ve had it about two months now and it’s absolutely maddening. I’ve been putting off getting a new one because they are never in stock at any of the three stores around me and I don’t want to wait for shipping. The extended warranty is an absolute rip off because you have to spend upwards of the 40 bucks to replace your warranty every time you have problems with them (which will be frequently). The warranty system is trash. The quality of the controllers are trash. These controllers have put me through so much crap that I m considering switching to PlayStation for next gen just to escape Microsoft’s terrible product quality. Signed a very unhappy customer
