  • Premium product for a premium price
I was a little finicky about buying this controller, considering the few bad reviews I'd see here and there, but I'm glad I gave into temptation and bought it. This controller has a premium price, but the controller itself feels so premium to me that I feel like I've paid for a controller that has more than twice the lifespan of the standard ones. I don't usually write reviews, but here's a list of pros and cons. Pros: -First of all, this controller feels a bit heavier (this is a pro to me, but may be a con to others) -Trigger stoppers are amazing, just be sure to adjust your deadzones for fps games like Halo 5 or Battlefield 1. (Just search YouTube if you don't know how) -The rings around the analog sticks that they make contact with are actually made of metal as well, this particular area used to be a problem for me. The ring would start chipping paint and the paint would become dust, causing the analog sticks to feel gritty. The elite controller does a good job of fixing this issue. -Multiple analog stick variants, made of metal as well -The paddles. Now this part takes some getting used to, but once you do, you have a major advantage in gaming; the advantage of stationary thumbs. I've had this controller for just a little while now but I'm already using all 4, my friend suggested I start with 2 but that wasn't doing it for me. It really depends on what feels right to you. -Multiple profiles, as well as a switch to swap between your 2 favorites. This is what really makes the controller amazing, you can save multiple profiles and you can change the favorites at any time, as well as swapping between the two by sliding the switch. -Tapping the sync button twice to toggle the paddles. This allows my to rest the controller on my leg without having the paddles being pressed, just like I did with the standard controller. -There's the finish on the controller, which solved the issue of sweaty palms (for people like me who got those from the standard controller). There's also grips as well. -The changeable d-pad. There's two d-pad that come with this controller, both of which are made of metal and are easily swappable. -3.5mm jack. I know this was added into the newer controller designs, but it's nice knowing that it's there considering the price you pay for it. -comes with 9 foot cord, allowing you to game without wasting money on batteries (if you're like me and that length is long enough) -it comes with a carrying case for safe transportation of the controller and accessories Cons: -If you drop it, you feel like you just lost half of your remaining lifespan. -The nonstandard d-pad feels a little loose when you put it into the rubber bit on in the case for accessories. -It's a challenge to list cons on something you love so much. Anyway, that wraps up my review. I'll update it if anything comes up, such as issues or something like that. ... show more

  • Buy it.
Like most, I originally saw this controller and thought that while it looked great and had great features, the $150 price tag was just too much. I can say now that after using it for months I was wrong. This is hands down the best controller I have ever owned. I have played video games since I was a child and have owned almost every system that has been released. I have seen controllers evolve from a pad with a joy stick and two buttons all the way to this masterpiece. The Xbox One controller is already a great controller but the Elite takes it to the next level with its velvet feeling analogue sticks, trigger adjustment switches, back paddles, smooth finish, and the many customizable profile features which are very easy to edit and swap and will persist as active even when connected to the PC. This is a solid, premium feeling controller that is worth the cost even for standard gaming, but will definitely increase your control and ability within many games. It is ideal for shooters as well as flight games like Elite Dangerous where the controls are complex and you feel like you would use a few extra fingers lol. All in all an outstanding product that I would (and do) urge others to buy. I was going to make a pros and cons list but honestly its already in the features. Every feature is a pro and I honestly have yet to have any problem with it. Buy it now and thank me later. Edit 2/22/17: After using this controller heavily on the PC and Xbox One I finally encountered a failure. While it has experience some general use wearing like buttons becoming slightly softer and the sticks loosening a bit it wasn't until this morning that something actually broke. The right bumper snapped from the thin plastic that holds it in place and is responsible for it rebounding after being pressed. Being well out of warranty and no real options I am purchasing the parts from amazon to fix myself. Cons: Bumpers will break with heavy use. Two most common examples are bumper jumpers on Halo and, as in my case, RB being the main attack button in For Honor. Still the best controller I've owned. ... show more

  • Good controller awful service READ BEFORE BUYING.
Okay So I thought people should know this story because I think it is important to know how a company you support helps it's customers. On March 1st I noticed that one of the grips on the back of my Elite controller was starting to peel up. So I contacted support about the issue. I was told at this time that my controller came with a 90 day warranty and that that warranty had expired. At this time I am also told that it sounds like my issue is "normal wear and tear". I was directed to ether go to a Microsoft store or look for a after market part online. The next day I took a look online for a replacement and found nothing that I felt was on par with what was on the controller to begin with. I contacted support again for a recommendation. I was then told that in fact my controller was covered and would be replaced. I simply needed to wait for a email from Microsoft. I didn't get a email so I contacted support again that same day. I was told that it takes 24 to 48 hours to get the email. So I wait. Three days later March 5th I still had not gotten a email from anyone so I contact support again. Was told it takes 24 to 48 hours with a max of 72 hours... So not 24 to 48 hours 24 to 72 hours. Anyway the agent I talked to on that day wound up telling me something was going on that was going to require him to contact the hardware department himself and that he would continue to update me via email on the status of my repair. He gives me a few "still working on it" emails until March 9th. When I finally got a service order email. That email only contains shipping instructions for shipping a Xbox One console and no shipping label. I contact support again. After going over everything and being put directly in contact with a supervisor. I am told that the shipping label is sent in another email and you guessed it that email takes 24 to 48 hours to send. So I wait. March 11th 10 days after first contact with support I have still yet to get my shipping label. I contact support again. I am told by this agent that in fact Microsoft policy is that any accessory needing a repair or replacement the shipping cost is shouldered by the customer. Having been told just days earlier by a supervisor that the shipping label was coming I was understandably very upset. At this point I felt chat support had reached its limits and I did not feel like arguing my point via text chat so I get my case number and call. I am then forced to walk the agent on the phone through every step starting from the beginning of the month. He checks his notes along the way. When I am done he makes a call over to the hardware guys who confirm that they in fact do not send shipping labels for controllers. This is when I loose it. I tell the guy that pay for the shipping or not pay for it I no longer care. What I care about now is that I have the Microsoft support team on record lying to me. I tell him that I demand that his supervisor pull up the support chat log from the 9th read the end of it then explain to me why a agent and there supervisor lied to me and with that explanation better come a reason why I should continue to buy Microsoft products in the future. I was on hold for a long time after that. When the guy gets back to me he tells me I was right. I was told a shipping label would be given to me. He and his supervisor where going to get on the line with the hardware people and get me a shipping label. He was kind enough to understand my frustrations where not with him but with the issue and stayed on the phone with me until I got the email. While I have still yet to see the end of this issue. I thought it would be important for other costumers to know. I find that the entire experience from the start was very unprofessional and I experienced behavior that I would consider unacceptable from a small local company let alone a company as big as Microsoft. I would like to remind anyone reading this that I am talking about the most expensive controller product that Microsoft offers, that I owned it for less then a year, and that Microsoft considers this to be normal wear and tear. These are things you should keep in mind when thinking about buying one. You should know that Microsoft finds it is okay for your 150 US dollar controller to break down from wear and tear after less then a year and thinks you should pay to ship it to them to have it fixed. I love this controller but I don't know on what planet this is considered to be acceptable service. ... show more

  • Designed Well and Durable
I had to wait a while for this controller to become available, everyone seemed to be selling out of them as soon as they got them. I've played on standard XBox 360 controllers, a SCUF 360 controller, and the standard XBox One controller, and I was excited to see how this controller stood up. I was lucky to get to try the Elite controller out at a Comic-Con event last year before they became available, and I really liked it. The Elite controller feels more durable in the hand than a standard XBox One controller - there's a bit of added heft, and playing around with it in your hands, it doesn't feel like there's a lot of void space behind the plastic like a standard controller has. The Elite controller has a matte non-slip finish, with a textured finish on the backside where your fingers curl around. My hands get a little bit sweaty every now and then, and this has made a noticeable difference. The "play" in the buttons, including the A-B-X-Y buttons, the bumpers, the D-pad and the triggers all feel more solid than a standard XBox One controller, and after a month of heavy use they still feel like new. I was a little nervous about the added paddles on the back - how they would hold up, if the trigger action was good, how they would be placed on the controller for my hands. After playing with them a bit to see what's comfortable and most useful, I ended up using two out of the four paddles (one on each side). I was very pleased with the way they snap into place magnetically, it's very easy to remove/install them and they feel solid once they're in place. I haven't had any issues with them popping out or anything. The same is true for the customizable/removable sticks and D-pad. I like that the sticks have a metal shaft, I know the plastic shafts on the standard controllers do wear over time and sometimes break, or even flake off plastic dust after using them for a while. Though the tops of the sticks are plenty grippy, I stuck with the Kontrol Freeks that I'd been using previously, because I like the convex top and the textures they have on them. Though I haven't tested it side-by-side, the battery life in the Elite controller is noticeably better than the standard XBox One controller. The case that the Elite controller came in is pretty nice, it fits everything inside in a tidy fashion and was designed well. It's fabric over a somewhat hard plastic - it would be nice if it were a true hard case, but that doesn't matter much to me since I don't travel with it or anything. I really like the customization options for the trigger action and especially the sticks! I didn't know about this before the controller arrived, but I discovered it when going through the options in the customization app. The preset curves are really slick, and you can customize the presets further. This has made a big difference in playing FPS games like Call of Duty. My only complaint is that some of the customization options in the app are a little unintuitive. The app overall is really slick and is pretty useful, but there are a few things that need improvement. I usually hit the wrong sequence of buttons the first time I try to edit one of my saved presets from the initial menu. Also, the adjustments to the trigger sensitivity seem to make no difference past the first 20% or so. I don't know if that's because I'm using the trigger locks or what, but it would be nice if that were clarified in the app. I was a bit hesitant about the price.... $150 is a lot for a controller, even one that I'd played around with and liked as a demo. When compared to prices for similar non-Microsoft controllers like SCUF, it seems reasonable, especially since they've gone further with on-the-fly hardware and software customization options. But with it being a brand-new product, I wasn't sure how it would hold up over time, and if the retail models would compare favorably to the demo I tried. However, it was designed well and it's durable. After using it heavily for a month, it still feels like good value at retail price, and the best indication of all: I'm still a little excited every time I pull the Elite controller out to play. ... show more

  • Best controller ever made for PC gamers, bar none
The best way to play video games from your couch these days: plug a modern-day PC running Steam's Big Picture Mode, hooked up to a Xbox One Elite Wireless Controller (preferably with a Steam Controller as a backup to play 4x games on your TV, which is way fun), into your TV's HDMI In port and enjoy. Why Steam? Because it enables you to play literally anything, with utter scoffing disregard for the required specs (as well as support for upcoming tech like the Oculus Rift) - everything from Rocket League to Battlefield to Far Cry to Niddhogg to God only knows what else is ready and waiting for you to play it. And the only way to play all that stuff is on an Elite Controller - simply put, the best controller $150 can buy. Wait, $150? Good LORD that's a lot of money; you could probably get a 3DS off Craigslist for that kind of money or something. It's a no-bones-about-it indulgence, true (particularly since it's only natively wireless with the Xbox; using it wirelessly on the PC requires purchasing an additional hardware dongle); it's just that you really do feel the difference as soon as you pick it up for the first time. It's perfectly weighted, the matte finish feels like a dream in the hand, and the buttons have precisely the travel you want from a button. The thumbsticks are gloriously tactile and easily tweakable; I went with stubby on the left stick and tall on the right (give it a shot). The triggers are legitimately flawless; now that they allow for finely-tuned actions (which you can further adjust in the controller's app) you can make them work just the way you want. And, in the spirit of saving the best for last, the d-pads are...well, as a staunch d-pad chauvinist who has STRONG OPINIONS on this cosmically pointless subject, I can safely say that the one on the Elite controller (the regular cross-shaped one, not the bizarre disc-shaped one I swapped out instantly) is one of the very best d-pads on a gaming doohickey to come down the pipe since the GBA micro, aka The Actual Best D-Pad Yes These Initial Caps Are Being Used For Emphasis. if you like retro games, it's worth the price of admission alone, particularly when coupled with those fantastic buttons. and that's not even getting into the paddles, which should make things like reloading or knifing a thousand times easier once you get everything set up. anyway: the tl;dr is that if you're a Windows gamer and feel like playing on the most luxurious controller ever offered to the buying public, take a deep breath and snap one of these up next time you've got some money which deserves to be spent on buying yourself something nice. Every time you pick this controller up, you'll instantly be reminded that you did just that. A++++ would recommend 10/10 and so on. ... show more

  • Buyer Beware - Please Read Before You Purchase.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Purchase Amazon's 2 year warranty. Microsoft's warranty is only 3 months. My controller's analog broke after only 110 days of usage, and after pouring through Microsoft's forum pages and speaking to a rep, I found that it needs to be replaced. But I didn't realize the warranty was so short. So I must repurchase. Do not make the same mistake as me, $20 more dollars is worth something you are already paying too much for. As for my review: PROS * Best Xbox controller I've played with. Very solid feeling and the grips are fantastic. * Button Replacements. I haven't had to yet, but if your thumbsticks wear out, replace them with the extra backup set the controller comes with. * Button mapping rocks. CONS * Way too expensive. However, it's a very solid and awesome controller. Would I buy it again? Yes (and I did, thanks to short warranty). * The Hair Trigger sounds great in theory. Trigger buttons are analog, which means they can input 0% (not pressed) to 100% (pressed). Trigger locks only register around 70%. However, that's not 100% and some game functions don't register it as a "press" at that position. I can't fire some guns in Battlefield 4 with the hair locks on. * The paddle buttons (on the back) are the main reason I bought the controller. They do exactly what they say they do, which is awesome. What is not awesome, is that it's super easy to hit each one of those. You can't wrap your fingers all the way around the controller, you have to hold it very dainty-like. That's not my style, so I ended up not using them. I tried, but I play games competitively and accidental button press are no good. * Durability? I'm VERY careful with my high dollar toys, though I am a bit passionate when pressing buttons and moving the analog stick. As far as I'm concerned, the analog sticks didn't handle "normal usage" of a hard core gamer. * 3 Month Warranty. Just pay $20 extra bucks for extended warranty. If anything, it's worth the piece of mind. I know I detailed the cons more than pros, but that's only because it's an extension of the controller's product description above. It does everything it says it does, and that's awesome. Just be aware of the usability and restrictions of those features. ... show more

  • The XBOX ELITE controller is the last controller you will ever buy.
I will try to be subjective in this review, but this controller is so good that I cannot find many, if any, negative things to say about it. If you think you current standard XBOX controller is good, then you have no idea what you're missing out on. Out of the box, the elite catches the eye with its sleek black design and futuristic looking D-pad. The paddles on the back may seem like a novelty at first, but once you start remapping buttons to them you will realize just how ergonomic and useful they are. For example in FPS's, normally to hold your breath when sniping you have to click in the left thumbstick. This limits your movement because of the pressure you have to put on the stick. I remapped clicking the left thumbstick to the left bottom paddle. Now i can hold my breath and easily move around without any resistance. It made a huge difference when i was strafing and shooting v.s. other people. That is just one example of the usefulness of the rear paddles. The Elite is a very sturdy piece of equipment as well. It feels well made and as though it could take years of heavy usage. Of course, the controller is brand new, so there is no concrete evidence of this, but once you hold it in your hand you can feel the quality. The hair trigger option comes in very handy also. Turning it on for the right trigger will drastically increase the speed at which you can fire. I tested it when firing a semi-auto rifle in various games and i noticed a huge difference right away, without any shot-loss or lack of sensitivity. The interchangeable thumbsticks come in very handy. The longer sticks are great for precision, I use them for FPS or any game that requires aiming or precise movement. There is a lack of a rapid fire option, but really its something you can live without. I have never used a modded controller that had rapid fire, so this option not being there made no difference to me. Overall i would recommend this controller to ANYONE who has an xbox and considers themselves a hardcore gamer. The pricetag may deter casual gamers, but they can benefit from a high quality programmable controller like anyone else. If you are on the fence about buying this, i can assure you that you will NOT regret this purchase. This is the best controller i have ever used in my 25+ years of gaming. ... show more

  • Caution Before Spending This Much!
I'm writing today dear reader as an adult gamer and as someone who appreciates nice things. I'm also someone who believes that typically you get what you pay for and it's worth spending more money to get something that will last. To that last point I have a little cautionary tale that I hope will help you make your decision. First impressions on this beast of a controller were "Wow". Beautifully made, solid and the paddles are a key feature that, when programmed and gotten used to, can be a huge advantage in some games where normally you'd have to take your thumb off the right stick in order to hit a button (Hello Dark Souls 3). I bought this in March 2016 and I'm writing to you today in June, 2016. I used it a lot, never dropped it and lovingly kept it in it's very nice and protective case. Issue: After some consistent and heavy use with Dark Souls 3 and Rocket League the Right Shoulder Button came loose. You could still activate it but not from the corner where you finger naturally lies (I have large hands) but rather, I had to reach around the crest (hump) of the RB button and push straight in. There are various repair videos on YouTube describing this issue and I believe a small part has broken off. I certainly have not been able to reattach it so it functions properly. So, I paid $161 with tax/shipping I should be able to get this thing fixed right? After all I'm a loyal Xbox, Xbox 360 (multiple boxes) and Xbox One Elite owner. I called Microsoft since their website proved unhelpful for controller repairs other than to replace the detachable parts on this controller. After a LOT of compliments on my being such a valued customer they said, "Sorry, it's out of warranty and we can't replace it". I asked about fixing it and that I'd pay for that. "You'd have to take it to a MS store". I said I didn't know those existed (and I'm in Los Angeles). Where can I find one. He informed me that there was on about an hour from my on the Westside (that's a hour of traffic mind you, still it's a long drive and not convenient at all, and I'm paying more money on top of what I've already spent). ADVICE: I have yet to confirm that they can actually repair it but I think it's quite outrageous to make an "Elite" product that costs this much and NOT offer better service on it. Am I surprised? Not terribly but I'm regretting paying so much for a device that, at the end of the day, is going to take a LOT of abuse, even by an adult user who has been quite careful with his shiny new controller. You might consider that the paddles are a very nice way to avoid button mashing and, in my experience, don't get pressed as hard simply because the the way I'm holding my hand around the controller. You're brain "re-maps" pretty quickly to the paddles once you play for about 15 mins. Still, some might consider that a workaround and feel that a product of this caliber/cost should simply "Work" as expected, if not better. I offer all of this as a caution and simply advise that you ask yourself how rough you are on controllers (I guess with Dark Souls 3, I'm pretty rough on the RB button) and weigh out the advantages of this controller before purchasing it. Other reviews will cover the advantages by the way and they are not insignificant. The programmability, the magnetic buttons that elegantly just lift off and allow you to put different ones on. Very cool. Maybe I'll update this and share my repair experience in Century CIty (if they can indeed repair it). UPDATE: Okay, very happy about the Microsoft store. I drove down on a Saturday since it's a bit of a schlep getting down there and I walked in, they looked up my appointment and replaced it. No questions asked. So I guess if you're willing to work to get it replaced you can find a way. ... show more
