Xbox Elite Wireless Controller.
Game-changing accuracy.
Give your gaming a helpful boost with the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller. It adapts to your hand size and play style, so you get better control across all gaming genres. The new, faceted D-pad enables easier and more reliable combo execution, while the traditional D-pad provides precise control to change weapons or call in a strike.
This fit's personal.
Swap between a variety of metal thumbsticks and D-pads for personalized control and ergonomics. Discover configurations that can improve accuracy, speed, and reach with thumbsticks of different shapes and sizes.
Interchangeable paddles.
Packing four slots for interchangeable paddles, it's easy to attach and remove paddles on the fly. Now you don’t have to take your thumbs off the thumbstick to execute intricate jump, aim, and shoot combos.
Hair Trigger Locks.
Fire faster and save precious time with the flip of the Hair Trigger Locks. Each trigger has one for independent control. And with the app,* you can fine-tune the trigger settings to fit your playing style.
Infinite freedom and flexibility.
Customize your experience even further with the easy-to-use app. Adjust trigger min/max values, thumbstick sensitivities, and button assignments, so the controls are exactly the way you want them.
Designed to perform.
Stainless steel thumbstick shafts, D-pads, and paddles are built to last. Low-friction, reinforced rings around each thumbstick minimize wear and provide buttery-smooth action.
Be ready for anything.
Each profile you create in the app is stored in the cloud, and two profiles can be saved on the controller too. So no matter where you play, your profiles are always with you.

Triple the cost & more features but workmanship worse.
Xbox Elite controller owner since day one release. First controller failed just after 3 months. Left bumper plastic clip broke leaving the bumper free to swing like a door. Upper right paddle button stopped working. After a spending several hours on the phone with MS Support they finally swapped the controller even though it had past its 90 day warranty. That's right the same warranty they provide for a $20 headset is the same warranty for a $150 Wireless controller. (Unless you bought the console controller bundle then you get the full year.) The replacement controller failed after 4 months with right stick drifting issues and the left bumper clip breaking again. Purchased 3rd controller from local store with 2 yr extended warranty. This one is now being replaced due to right stick drifting issues, bumper failure and paddle buttons not clicking. I would like to write about what I like about the controller but MS only gives me 1000 characters, I'm out of room. GET THE EXTENDED WARRANTY.

Wears out fast.
The RB button broke within 6 months, left thumbstick will act up and move your aim in shooting games when not touching it after about 6 months, the rubber handgrips are also falling off. If it had a year long warrenty it'd be way better. HUUUGE waste of money in the long run, SAD.

Busted bumper.
Controller feels solidly made. Fit and finish seem acceptable. But, within 30 days the right bumper broke, as has been extensively documented in these reviews and those elsewhere. In my case, the failure was within the 90 day warranty period. As stated elsewhere, this warranty is criminally short for a product of this expense. Purchase at your own risk.

I have had my elete controler for less than 1 year. I love everything about the controller (when it is working!) I knew I had a problem when the controller wouldn't stay synced to my Xbox unless I had the micro usb cable plugged into it, essentially making it a wired controler. I have watched countless YouTube videos on how to fix the issue. New batteries, power cycled my Xbox, updated controler. You name it is tried it. Microsoft suggested I purchase a new controler. My original controler that came with my Xbox still works perfectly! I spent 150$ on this beast. I'd say worth every penny if it worked. I don't make a ton of money and I'm just disappointed that my elete controler didn't even last one year when the original I have had twice as long still works just fine. I'm more dissatisfied with the customer service I received from Microsoft. I buy Microsoft products because I feel they are the best, but Microsoft makes it hard to be a loyal customer with poor customer service. Great controler (when it works) buy at your own risk. Once you purchase this controler if it malfunctions your stuck with an expencive paper weight.

Works great till it breaks.
I agree with a lot of the reviews here. This controller is great in every aspect of gaming. Everything feels fresh and tactile. The weight was also a big thing that made this controller great for me. Unfortunately like others I only got to use my controller for about 6 months until the Left Bumper just fell off. I take great care of things and would never do something like throw them. So when this happened I was extremely disappointed. If you're looking for a great 6 month controller, this is it. (Model 1698 if anyone was wondering).

DO NOT WATSE YOUR MONEY.
I have gone through two of these controllers. On my first one, the thumb sticks broke and for the second one the back rubber gripping fell off and the same thumbstick issue. I really don't see how they value this controller at 150 dollars. When issues come up on the controller Microsoft policy on a premium controller is absolutely crap. If you want one buy it but pray that you will not have any issues.

Piece of trash.
Keep loosing the buttons beacause they are on there with magnetics so whenever you flick up or anything like that the button flys of the taller buttons are impossible to use and the peddles on the back are way to sensitive wish I could rate a 0 star.

Quality is just the same as original controller.
It's just a regular controller with more weight and more mappable buttons. Bumper broke and 90 day warrenty conveniently ended before. sweet.

Microsoft Xbox Elite Controller.
The good The Elite controller is an ultra-satisfying, high-end Xbox One and PC controller that offers an impressive amount of customization on its analog sticks, D-pad and triggers, and introduces back paddles. The Xbox Elite app allows for even more personalization, including the ability to remap every button on the controller.
The bad It's tough to justify that hefty price. The back paddles are very easy to hit accidentally if you're not accustomed to them. Rechargeable batteries would not have been too much to ask.
The bottom line Its $150, £120 or AU$200 price tag certainly puts it in an exclusive class, but the Elite controller is one of the most customizable, comfortable and luxurious controllers we've ever used.
CNET review.
Luxury gaming and customization, at a price.
The Elite Wireless Controller for Xbox One and PC is one of the most comfortable controllers I've ever held. It's head and shoulders ahead of other controllers for Microsoft's console and other platforms. The only problem is its eyebrow-raising price: $150, £120 or AU$200.
Odds are you probably don't need to spend that kind of money -- two and a half times more than a regular wireless pad -- on an Xbox One controller. But for the privileged few, the Elite is an indulgence that delivers in ways no other controller can.
It's immediately noticeable how much heavier the Elite is than the original Xbox One controller. It feels substantial and luxurious. Every button on the controller operates with flawless tactile feedback and satisfying smoothness. A matte rubberized coating wraps most of the controller, with the grips getting an extra textured detailing. It feels like you're holding a really high-end gadget. The included molded carrying case demands it not be left on a coffee table or couch.
Impressive build quality aside, the Elite controller's main selling point is the massive amount of customization possible with the analog sticks, triggers, D-pad and more. It comes with three sets of magnetic, stainless steel analog sticks that can be easily swapped in and out. Two sets of concave-topped sticks, one of normal height and another twice the height, and one set of domed sticks can be mixed and matched to your specific taste.
The analog ball joints feel really solid too and they have a certain buttery springiness that the original controller just doesn't offer. I enjoyed using the taller concave right stick for first-person shooters -- it makes precision aiming much easier.
There are two D-pads included with the Elite, a traditional "plus" design and a circular, almost octagonal shape that makes hitting diagonal directions a bit easier. Both easy swap out with magnetic fittings.
Even the controller's back triggers can be altered. A lever underneath each trigger can activate hair-trigger mode, which prevents a trigger from needing to be fully pulled. The idea is that you don't need to wait the extra half second or so it takes for the trigger to spring back to its resting spot and instead it can be fired rapidly. It definitely appears to make shooting that much quicker, but only if you're firing in bursts or single-round shots from a weapon that will fire as quickly as you can pull the trigger.
Finally, the controller lets you remap buttons to a set of four detachable paddles, which can be programmed through a free Xbox app specifically designed for the controller. Some players find the option to bind a command to the back of a controller beneficial, be it the gas on a race car or a quick grenade toss. I found some success making a back paddle the button for switching weapons in Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, as I didn't have to remove my thumbs from the sticks.
I'm not used to having paddles on the back of the controller, however, so I found myself accidentally hitting them more often than not. It's probably something I could get used to with practice, but for someone who's been playing a certain way for decades it might be tough unlearning that.
The free Elite app not only lets you program the back paddles, but it can also let you remap any of the 14 digital inputs from the controller. Two control scheme profiles can be stored on the controller itself, which can be accessed via a switch below the Xbox Guide button. Microsoft says that developer-created alternate control schemes for specific titles will be offered through the app down the road as well.
A $150 controller needs some added value, doesn't it? So it's good to know the Elite plays nicely with Windows 10, as does the free app. It's ready to use on your PC right out of the box with an included USB wire. You can even use it wirelessly with your PC too, you'll just need the Xbox Wireless Adapter -- another $25, £25 or AU$30. But at $150, I wish there was a rechargeable battery inside the Elite. Unfortunately, it only takes AAs.
It's tough to justify spending $150, £120 or AU$200 on a video game controller, especially one that won't necessarily make you "better" at games. The Elite provides plenty of functionality improvements over a standard Xbox One controller, but a lot of these benefits are luxuries. If money isn't an issue, yes, the Elite controller is the best one for your Xbox One and PC gaming needs. But if you're not a pro gamer, that $150 could likely be spent on more exciting items, like a regular controller and a game -- not to mention you'd still have $30 left over.
If owning the Elite is a must, but you just can't come to terms with spending $150, you may want to look at the Elite Xbox One bundle. Of course this only applies if you don't already own an Xbox One. The bundle goes for $500, £400 or AU$600, which knocks about $50, £20 or AU$100 off the price of an Elite controller, making it a much easier pill to swallow. Plus, the console also comes with a 1TB solid-state hybrid drive, which presumably increases loading speed, but we'll still need to check that out to know for sure.

Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Review.
From the first moment I picked up the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller, I was impressed. The pro-grade gamepad has a good heft to it and there’s metal and rubber everywhere, making it feel worth its $150 asking price. I’m also glad Microsoft went with a subdued and classy black, gray, and silver color scheme.
What makes the Elite controller unique is its ability to be customized. The thumbsticks and D-pad are magnetic, and can be quickly swapped for different styles, depending on what game you want to play. Removable metal paddles on the back also give you four additional buttons to map specific actions to.
In the box you’ll find three sets of interchangeable triggers, two swappable D-pads, two sets of paddles, and a lengthy braided micro USB cable. All of the Elite’s accessories feel durable and premium, especially the interchangeable thumbsticks, which are magnetic and snap into place with a satisfying click. You can hold the controller and all of its accessories in the included hard case. For more images of the Elite controller, check out our photo gallery.
There's metal and rubber everywhere.
One of my favorite customizations on the Elite are the Hair Trigger Locks, which let you shorten the travel of the triggers to help you fire faster in shooters. For racing games like Forza 6, you can extend them for additional control over the accelerator and brakes. The haptic motors under the triggers allowed me to feel when the brakes were locking up and when the rear of the car was kicking out. Race fans may still want to purchase a wheel and pedals for the ultimate driving simulation, but the Elite controller isn’t bad by any means.
The customizations continue with the profile slider on the center of the controller, which lets you quickly switch between two controller profiles. This is useful for switching in between game types or even weapon types in a first-person shooter. I played Call of Duty: Ghosts and the controller felt a little more precise than the normal Xbox One controller. Where it stands out is the ability to change trigger sensitivity and assign specific weapons to its paddles.
To remap the buttons and change button sensitivity, you’ll need to download the Xbox Accessories app on your Xbox One or in the Windows Store (available now on Xbox One but PC users have to wait until Oct. 27th). Beyond the standard button mapping, you can tweak the sensitivity of the thumbsticks and even the dead-zone of the triggers. You can even tweak the four haptic feedback motors located in the controller.
Biggest disappointment? The AA batteries.
It’s overwhelming at first and you’ll have to test out multiple button mappings and settings to see what you like. If you want to jump right into a game without customizing the button maps, you can download community-created configurations.
The biggest disappointment of the Xbox Elite Controller is the lack of rechargeable batteries. The controller uses two AA batteries, which are included in the box. But for $150, you would think that the Play and Charge Kit ($25) would be included.
The Xbox Elite Controller works with the Xbox One or a Windows PC running Windows 7, 8.1, or 10. Windows 10 users don’t have to worry about drivers as they’re included in the operating system but people Windows 7 or 8.1 will have to download drivers from xbox.com/xboxone/pc-controller. PC users looking to go wireless will be able to purchase a Wireless Adapter accessory (not included) for $25.
Throughout my time with the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller, all I could think was, “Wow. I really want this.” But at $150, I’m not willing to drop that much cash for a game controller. The Elite takes everything I like about the stock Xbox One controller and kicks it up a notch. For most people, the Elite controller is overkill. But for competitive players or those looking for the best game controller money can buy, its beautiful build and customization options make it worth every penny.
The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller is a near-perfect game controller with a price tag that’s hard to swallow.
Feels great Beautiful build and design Great companion app Tons of customizations Price Not rechargeable.

Buy an Xbox Controller.
Choose Your Controller.
With the Xbox One game controller you get improved comfort, response time and precision, plus a jack for your gaming headset. At Best Buy, you can choose from a variety of extra controllers, including media remote controls, wireless controllers, special edition Xbox controllers and more. You can also use a Kinect sensor with your Xbox One console and play hands-free. Kinect reacts to voice commands, so you can switch between apps, make video calls and control the volume just by speaking; plus, you can even control gameplay by using hand and body motions.

Once you've chosen your Xbox One controllers, you can get the rest of your video game accessories at Best Buy. For example, an Xbox Chatpad lets you search easily and send messages to friends while you play. A controller stand lets you display your controller and makes it easy to grab for gameplay.
