Customer Ratings & Reviews

Well, let me just say that I hesitated for years on getting this controller because of the cost and also because I'm not very big on many controller based games on PC... However, recently I purchased Star Wars Squadrons on PC and let me tell you that this controller is a GAME CHANGER for that game and I'm sure I will find many more games that I will benefit greatly in... For starters, the build quality is fantastic, this feels like a premium controller, it makes my Xbox One controller feel like a cheap toy in comparison. The customization is great, I like playing with the Xbox 360 tension on the sticks, and it's great to have 3 different options to choose from. The BIGGEST selling point for me and many of you of course is the BACK BUTTONS, and let me tell you that these buttons are giving me a HUGE ADVANTAGE in Star Wars Squadrons. Being able to keep both my thumbs on both the thumb sticks at ALL TIMES while toggling my power systems as desired(using the back buttons) allows me to continue to track targets and/or escape enemies without losing control of my ship. It's just a huge advantage being able to multitask without having to reach over the controller to press other buttons. MY KDR nearly doubled overnight after I got used to the controller and now I regret going so long with this controller. Another thing is I think Microsoft totally nailed the configuration of the back buttons, they're not too big or not too small, just perfect. I even spent the extra money on the GeekSquad Protection to cover my controller for a few extra years. If you feel you will benefit from the back buttons in whatever it is you're currently playing, stop reading this review and purchase now or when you see a sale on this thing.

Much more appealing versus the previous models. Wireless with built in rechargeable battery with a dock, that you can plug in through the back of the case protecting everything whilst charging

Best pro controller just have to fix Lb and Rb Drift is OK not bad

Great feel and functionality however this is the second one of these my son has gone through in 2 years. Buy the extended TotalTech from Best Buy. The unit is substantial and sophisticated but the magnets that hold some of the control surfaces lose their strength over time. Very expensive.

I have tried every controller with paddles and this is still the best feeling one. The five star review is because when the controller works it's the best there is. But I want to note, I'm on my 6th elite controller now. Last one the right bumper stopped working. I can't seem to get more than 6 months out of one. This one is in a new package, so I'm hoping it's going to last, just in case I got the best buy warrenty, so we'll see.

[Employee of bestbuy] This controller feels amazing right out of the box. The build quality is solid, the buttons are super responsive, and the grips make long gaming sessions comfortable without slipping. The analog sticks are smooth and precise, and the triggers feel great for shooters and racing games. Battery life has been reliable, and it connects quickly with no issues. Overall, this is a high-quality controller that performs exactly as expected—definitely worth the purchase.

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.

Controller works good with my computer , wanted the red one but I guess more people wanted it before I got to the store

Controller feels nice, has a nice quality feel to it. Only issue is the sides of the controller have been lifting and the RB button works about 40% if the time. Awesome controller, 5 starts if I wasn’t experiencing those issues.

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.

This controller is all about quality manufacturing, improved controls, and heightened sensitivity – perfect for gamers who love to play a lot. Plus, the charging dock is a really cool bonus. Sure, it's a tad pricey, but in my opinion, the quality you get makes it totally worth it.

Controller is absolutely amazing. Everything with this feels premium and good to hold. All the accessories and customizations make this the top of the line for Xbox controllers. Price is pretty shocking but standard Xbox controllers tend to get worn out, especially around the joystick area and require buying a new one. Because of the premium materials and build, this thing should outlast standard controllers and not require a replacement after heavy use.

One of the best controllers for gaming on Xbox/PC Good for if you need either a replacement for an older elite controller or if you already have the extra attachments

Feels good in the hands and the battery life is way better than I expected.

I love this controller & i love the warranty that best buy offers for it. I only give 4 stars because of little things ive noticed. They do eventually get stick drift but again warranty, & then theres the issue ive had with 3 in a row of the rubber grip starts to peel up after a little while. Another personal gripe is i have big hands & it wouod be nice if the spacing for the paddles was better. It is very difficult to use all 4 with larger hands. Atleast in my experience.

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.

Initially, I was hesitant in purchasing this device solely because of its price tag. A friend suggested that the controller is worth the price: She was right. The elite controller feels premium and definitely feels leagues above the standard xbox and even series controller. The convenience of the paddles adds a layer of quickness that makes game play feel more immersive and smooth. A hefty price tag, but if you have the money it is well worth the price.

Great controller! Unfortunately the newer version came out so my nephew exchanged it for a newer version!

My son will not use anything else, he says this controller is great, it has so many functons and options for gaming of all kinds.

It’s comfortable in the hands, feels good. Feels well made. Seems durable this far.
