The 9 Best window Elite Controllers (2023 reviews)

The microsoft window elite controller is capable of outshining several other controller featured in this list in overall features. The thumb stick tension adjustments are a literal game changer. It is not smooth and free like it should be, and it hits a 'bind spot' when pushing forward that makes it impossible to control fps characters since pushing forward on that stick in a game like apex legends is mostly what your using the stick for. The controller feels solid and of high quality.

The Xbox Accessories app lets you completely customize the button layout and joystick sensitivity as well as program as many or as few of the paddles on the back to your liking. The bumper triggers have three settings for depth of trigger pull. It comes with a rechargeable (USB) battery pack. The case is top notch, and holds all the extra buttons and charging stand. It has flawless design and performance.

Best For Wired Controller: turtle Beach window Elite Controller

Buy on Amazon

If you play games that don't rely on bumpers so much it is a good controller and the built in audio features are nice, but for a niche of players this controller is unacceptable. The controller is ergonomic with soft and comfortable grips. The included USB-C cable is thick and stiff. Any 3.5mm connected headset will plug directly into the controller, and allow you to use several different turtle beach audio enhancements.

The controller has rumble function to enhance the game play experience. The sound control features make life a lot easier and more convenient, especially with headsets that have less than intuitive on-ear controls. The controller can be used alongside a Stealth 600 GEN 2 like any normal Xbox controller. This one is very solid, has nice heft, the buttons feel good and are very responsive. The sound is great for a budget controller.

Why We Like This:

Buttons are stiff, triggers and bumpers are phenomenal
Has lots of sound features, such as 3.5mm headphone jack as well volume control
Adjusting up and down for the audio is easy with the volume settings
Great feeling controller and you will love the responsiveness of the buttons

Best With headphone: Usergaing window Elite Controller

Buy on Amazon

With nearly all the same texture, layout and design, it is one of the closest oem controllers IMHO. Adopt 2.4ghz wireless transmission technology, allowing you to play games stably within a range of 30 feet without causing jams and disconnections. The use of the dongle allows this controller to easily move from one system to the next without a whole lot of setup. It comes with a USB that you plug directly into your console. It feels comfortable to hold in the hand.

This controller does NOT have the wide USB port, and the positioning of the headphone jack is in the middle instead of to the left. It takes 2 AA batteries (not included) and the batteries fit securely. If you want to play with 3 of your friends using four of these controllers you will also need to have a USB Hub in order to connect all the controllers.
