Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you are tired of having your xbox elite II controllers reliably and repeatedly break and are looking for a similar kind of controller this might be the controller for you. TLDR So far so good. This just came out so I cannot attest to long term usage yet. However, I've used it for about 50 hours as of the time of writing this and I have had zero issues. Does not sound like a lot, but when you consider that my 4th (and final) Xbox elite II controller was defective right out of the box this controller has already surpassed Microsoft in terms of quality assurance. I bought this controller out of frustration after my last xbox elite II controller broke (did I mention it was my 4th?) and I decided to stop giving Microsoft money since they are more interested in charging $60 to repair their $200 controllers only for it to break again in a year or less. I've used razer mice and keyboards for PC and have never had any issues with them so I figured I would check out their newest controller. This controller has the same xbox joystick layout which I prefer to the Playstation joystick configuration and the feature set seemed similar enough so I figured it would be worth a shot to see if it was worth the money. A lot of the buttons on this controller have a mouse click feedback when pressed which didn't know I liked until I had it in hand. I've never really had any issues with stick drift (lucky in that regard I guess) so I cannot attest to the hall effect joysticks being better than traditional joysticks. I really like the D-pad on this controller. I also liked the D-pad on the elite controller but I fell like this one I have more precise control on. Back paddles and extra shoulder buttons are all nice. I'd say my hands are average sized and my fingers rest comfortably where I don't have to reach or hold the controller differently to press them. Kind of a bummer that only the macro buttons are reprogrammable (wish I could customize each button like the Elite controller allows you to do, maybe Razer will listen and add that feature in future products). That is my only reason for not rating this 5 stars as of the time of writing this. However, a thing I really like is being able to program the macro buttons in game just by using the controller itself. With the elite I would have to open the app and make adjustments. Then if I wanted to make changes I would have to reopen the app and repeat the process. With this controller I just hold the programming button and press the macro button I want to change, then press the button I want that macro button to change to. So you can easily make adjustments in game on the fly without having to open a separate app. Battery life I cannot comment on because I always have mine attached via USB while using. However, from other reviews I've seen and read it's neither amazing or abysmal so probably not worth commenting on. If you like the feel of the elite controller but want to stop giving Microsoft money and hope they figure out how to stop selling defective "elite" controllers give this a try. I have and I am not disappointed

This is definitely one of the best pro controllers. I have had the xbox pro controller series 2 and razer wolverine wired controller and i can definitely say this one is my favorite. This controller has 2 more buttons next to the bumpers that make it great for your reload and weapon switching while using your back paddles for crouching and jumping. It makes playing against pc players feel more even and makes for much more enjoyable experience playing plateformers and first person shooters. Buttons feel like they are made with good quality, better than the series 2 xbox controller.

Hands down the best controller available for xbox.

I bought this controller when i returned my elite core controller. I figured razer is usually very good and read most of the reviews and saw that majority enjoyed it. Easy to connect to the xbox. Feels about the same as the elite controller series. Although the paddles dont come off of this controller. You cant really customize the controller. The sticks, d pad or triggers. Also dont like how you cant tell what the battery life is on the controller. Always shows a charging sign when it shows battery life on screen. Mine has connection issues lately and has veen shut off randomly. So im actually going to turn it in for a different controller soon. Its ok just not worth the price

Amazing controller amazing build quality would definitely recommend this one to anyone with the money to spend on it

This controller is best in comfort and long gaming sessions. High quality in esports performance both hardware and software. My favorite controller and is the Mercedes Benz AMG for gaming. Have fun

tremendous stick drift out of the box and this controller offers no way to calibrate. They expect users to run a 10% deadzone setting by default (value 1=10% or so) one of the worst implementation of hall effect sticks to date. A shame this controller had alot to offer if they did not scam us on with the marketing hype around no stick drift. It also will decide to not turn on until you usb cycle it, firmware can fix that im sure. As well as you cannot individually set circle and rectacle pattern to each stick, both have to be done at the same time, meaning if you want to aim with circle your left sticks movement will then be choppy. So many more issues I noticed but I will stop.

It works great for playing first-person shooter games on my Xbox.

didn’t like this controller buttons feel sloppy…..
