Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love the look of this controller and how it feels in hand; however, once you start using the paddles on the back of the controller playing a game it feels very small and sometimes accidentally clicking the wrong paddle. It is very nice for sure and I love how customizable it is, but needing to go into settings for connected devices, then to finally being able to set it all up how you want… it can be kind of annoying.

For an OEM controller, its great. Durability and longevity really depends on your use. Make sure to get the 2 year extended warranty from Microsoft only. You can buy paddles for cheaper third party

Great controller but quality is worth price grips always start to come off after. 3rd controller.

I’ve had so many controllers in the past but this one has to be the best

This is a high quality controller, and it has some great features. I did not remove a star for this, but I do not care for the rubberized grips. They can feel sticky at times, but I'm hoping that the feel may improve with use.

Second purchase for kiddos. Great controller. No changing batteries, just charge. Many configurations to suit needs for different games. Highly recommend

Upgraded stock controller, haven’t set it down longer than five minutes when im home. Definitely worth the money wish I would have done it a while ago

Great controller. This version is supposed to have fixed the stick drift issue as well. So far, no problems with it and it works great. The only thing is it doesn’t come with all of the accessories.

Had a really bad NSW controller and replaced it with this one. Simple, robust and comfortable.

Absolutely the best gaming controller I’ve ever used! I’ll only ever buy this brand !

My son says the right controller has a little drift.

Good controller. I only get about a years use out of it until stick drift becomes unbearable. Prob play more than the typical person. Def buy the warranty with controller.

i have a team of expert reviewers (my three grandsons) who put this controller through an rigorous testing regime over the last few weeks. They all three said that it was great. The fact that it stood up to their nonstop and sometimes energetic playing means that it is durable as well as great.

Great controller for a few months. This does however break down after a few months.

This is the best Xbox controller out in my opinion

Sturdy construction, quality feel. A lot more durable, IF you get one that was assembled well. I’ve had friends who bought brand new ones that had shoulder button issues in the first month.

less than 3 months after purchasing the left stick is already drifting. Other buttons are also starting to feel like they’re underperforming. Very surprised considering I try to be as gentle as possible while using it.

My wife surprised me with this controller, after my Elite Series 2 right bumper took a crap on me. My only complaint is that the A button is a little stubborn. Other then that I really like this controller.

Feels better than other controllers i have used before. I’m super into fighting fames though and the D-Pad is something I’m trying to get used to.

I was hesitant about the price of this controller, but I am so, so, so glad I went through with buying it. I suffer from hand and thumb issues, and wanted to try a different controller. This Elite Series 2 was recommended by almost every site I researched, and by multiple arthritis forums. My other option was to cut down on my Xbox play time, but right now it helps keep my hands and mind busy during my layoff from work due to quarantine. The features that I (and my hands!) appreciate the most are the extra paddles on the back, and the ability to customize the tension on the joysticks. That was a lifesaver for my poor hands! I prefer the tension to be on the tightest setting so my thumb joints don't have to stretch so far to manipulate the joysticks. I also further adjusted their tension in the controller customization in the Xbox Accessories app on my xbox. It is only day 2 that I have had it, and it's gotten a few hours of use, and I absolutely love how accessible and customizable it is. It is a bit on the heavy side, but it is the only mark against it in my book.
