Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Black Friday price should be the everyday price, but overpriced or not, still the best general purpose gaming controller for most people. Ol' reliable, get's the job done every time. No need for RGB or silly gimmicks.

Looks very cool and comfortable to hold. Easy to connect.

This controller is really just a slightly revised Xbox One controller, which is both good and bad. The short version is that if you liked that controller, you will almost certainly like this one; if you didn't, you probably won't like this one. With that out of the way, let's start with the good. Ergonomically, this continues to be one of the best controllers out there, at least for games utilizing the left thumbstick for movement. There have apparently been some minor tweaks since the last generation, but it feels so similar in hand that I can't really tell you what they are. It does have a grippier texture and grip on the triggers now, though, both of which are nice. In terms of functionality, the d-pad has changed rather dramatically and the bumpers feel just a bit stiffer. Both of those changes will be subjective, but I can say that I don't mind the extra stiffness in the bumpers and I like the d-pad a lot more than I thought I was going to. However, the previous d-pad wasn't nearly so loud and clicky and I definitely preferred it that way. Also, the right bumper on my unit sounds different than the left. A mild annoyance, but still odd. And that's really it for changes (aside from having USB-C now). I will say that my particular unit seems to have better thumbsticks (in terms of drift) than any other Xbox controller I've owned, so I either got lucky or they have been paying more attention to that. Everything else feels and performs pretty much the same. On to the bad. The biggest problem is that, despite the hundreds of complaints about the Elite Series 2 in particular, Microsoft hasn't actually tried to fix the A button. They still use the same flawed contact design, so if you had issues with the button registering before, just know that nothing has really changed here. Mine isn't too bad, though, so I guess I got lucky. The A button on mine also sticks a bit, but I know that will go away with time/use. A small gripe I have is that when you unplug the controller, it turns itself back on. That also happened with the XB1 controllers, but this time that will also turn on your Xbox if it isn't already on. So imagine you had previously synced the controller with your Xbox but are now playing a game on your PC; when you unplug the controller, your Xbox turns on. That didn't happen with the XB1 controllers, so I'm not sure what changed or why, but it's pretty annoying. Fortunately, if you take the batteries out when using it wired, you don't have to worry about that. Another gripe is that the ring around the thumbsticks is quite rough, just as it was with the previous generation. Contrast this with the Switch Pro controller or DualShock 4, which are both quite smooth, or the DualSense which now has anti-friction rings as standard. Yes, you can sand it smooth if you take it apart (and void your warranty) or it might just smooth out over time, but it's still frustrating that they can't be bothered to spend two cents more on parts to put an anti-friction ring there. And finally, and I know a lot of people will disagree with me, I really wish they had added some sort of motion controls. This is now the third console generation in a row where Xbox is the only one without motion controls and it's starting to hold games back. I find them to be really good for shooters, but a lot of developers don't seem to want to bother implementing gyro aiming if it's going to give PlayStation an unfair advantage over Xbox when playing online. Everyone else has committed to them, so they're not going away. I think it's time to accept it. In summary, it's mostly more of the same but with some welcome (if minor) improvements to ergonomics. They could've done more to make it actually function better, but if you were happy with the previous generation, you'll like this one, too.

Very stunning presentation, easily one of the coolest custom controllers out there. Don't recommend if you don't know where the button placement is though!

Great feel. Color pops, grips are great. Joysticks are awesome.

It work just right. I like the touch that is smooth.

Love the color. Good quality and ease of use. Wireless.

Had to get as a replacement for another controller. Wish the other one hadn’t broken but this one works well so far, no issues.

This functions just like any regular Xbox controller so I won't talk about that and talk about the design. This controller looks so much better in person. I love that I can see the internals of my controller. This would look a lot more frosted in person.

Gotta like old reliable, never fails me. Like the design

Picked this up for my girlfriend. She absolutely loves it.
