Great alternative to the Xbox Elite controller
Reviewed in Canada on October 17, 2024
Verified Purchase

I’m happy with this controller. For me the Xbox Elite version is the perfect controller for me but the build quality (sticky bumper and stick drift) had me looking for alternatives. This Razer controller has hall effect sticks which wont get stick drift and has good build quality.

Coming from the EliteV2 the shape of this Razer controller will take some getting used to, but once you are used to it, it feels good in your hands. At first I didnt like the back paddles but after some time I got used to then and like them now. Overall very happy with this controller.

Are you guys ever going to fix your controller? We go through your steps and it still doesn’t work. I very unsatisfied with this product. I’m on my second one that you replaced and still disconnecting in wireless mode, unreal… for over $300 I’d expect better. Don’t think I’ll ever purchase anything Razer again because of you poor service and not being able to fix your product. DO NOT BUY.. Brutal

Great controller with questionable durability
Reviewed in Canada on October 20, 2024
Verified Purchase
Pros: Amazingly precise hall effect sticks - the most recent firmware takes care of the release version deadzone issues. Super smooth movement with medium tension and anti-friction rings. Triggers feel properly dampened, move smoothly and have an alternative mode which turns them into mouse clicks. Face buttons are flawless - clicky, but not too hard to press. Wireless connection uses a dongle and is flawless and very low latency. Back buttons are perfectly placed and responsive. Rubberized handles feel amazing. Comes with extra thumbsticks, carrying case and long braided cable. Battery life seems good, especially compared to PS5 Dualsense Edge which I also own. Razer RGB logo is understated and classy.

Cons: It is a bit expensive, ergonomics are different than the XBOX Series X original controller so it does take a couple of hours to adjust to the shape, haptics are strong but not deep as the XSX controller. Headphone volume is also about 25% lower than the XSX controller.

Conclusion: This is the best XBOX Series X controller. It does feel just slightly less premium compared to the Elite 2 and it is very expensive, so that is why I am giving it 4 stars. Assuming that it is more reliable compared to the notoriously problematic Elite 2, this controller will de facto become the new go-to Pro controler for Xbox Series X.

Update: After a few weeks, the left trigger started behaving differently than the right trigger - when fully depressed, it sounds and feels very hollow with a hard stop. The right trigger is still properly dampened and feels premium. In mouse click mode, it still works properly. Disappointing.

Great controller with only one drawback
Reviewed in Canada on April 10, 2025
Verified Purchase
Great controller overall. Great buttons, great functionality. The shape is okay for medium to big hands. Precise sticks and triggers. Battery life is also pretty good, and you can charge and use it simultaneously. The recent firmware update brought recalibration, on-the-fly profile switching, and software hair triggers.
I bought it for Xbox and it has been great for that purpose.
The only real issue is the fact that it doesn't have Bluetooth/MacOS connectivity. That would probably make it the best Xbox controller on the market right now.

TLDR:
Some buttons no longer work and have to unplug replug every other day
Was so hopeful about this one as I’ve gone through so many that have back buttons/paddles including the Elite, other Razer controllers, PowerA (these barely got past the 90day warranties) etc
PROS
Easy to re-map the buttons
Feels well built
Has 4 buttons not the back
CONS
Buttons on the back are real close together…got used to it but not great
“Controller is disconnected” comes up often-unplug and plug back in and it seems ok
Headset get robo voice often…maybe that’s the headset though?

This controller is absolutely astounding when it comes to performance. Extremely solid build quality with the overall feel being seamless. The buttons are tactile and satisfying, almost zero delay in response time, and the wireless connectivity is flawless. The Hall effect joysticks have a very smooth feel to it and I haven’t experienced any stick drift whatsoever. The 4 back paddles are placed perfectly, and I really appreciate the two mappable buttons on top for claw grip, as I find that very comfortable to use when playing Fortnite. The mouse clicks are one of the best features on this controller as well. I love the design of it, and Razer synapse makes it easy to remap the buttons and customize dead zones and such. Very good controller!!

Is it worth the extra expense? Lets find out
Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2025
Verified Purchase
Bought this item last year to play a few games on steam with controller support. The controller is light, sleek, easy to hook up and use, the action in it is amazing, the battery lasts a long while, I am thoroughly pleased with this controller. In fact, I loved it so much that when my brother-in-law needed a new controller I gave him mine, and just bought another. I've used dozens of controllers over the years. My initial foray into gaming was on consoles, so I have a lot of practical experience using controllers on console and PC. The price tag made me leery initially, but it's clear as day when you start using the controller why it's priced where it is. Worth the extra expense to have a controller that will not only be reliable, but work well with almost any game you throw at it.

Cool hardware, but only thing consistent is Razer’s inconveniences
Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2024

Ok, Out of the box I immediately set deadzones to zero. Upon checking found there is an inherent centering issue that causes heavy drift reading with no way to recalibrate.

Pros:
Feel of buttons are great, tactile, responsive, good placement. The “feel” of the controller is one of the bests. The trigger locks to enable a mouse click tactile pull is satisfying to say the least. All these features are great enough for me to over look other features not given at this price range ie - tension adjustment, full button mapping, lackluster app interface, polling rate to name a few.
Major con:
However, having out of box centering issues this high is just kind of a hard one to look over. All HE sticks do have centering performance concerns. I just wish this would center closer to 0,0 (I know it’s impossible to get true 0,0 reading). But no matter what I do, direction I flick it, it re-centers back to these values. I’d have to widen the dead zones, sacrificing a substantial amount responsiveness which defeats the purpose of buying a performance controller. Maybe I’ll try to exchange and hope I get something better, but if it’s worse, it’s a full refund. Will update review if I do. But not to hopeful as more research, this is a more common than a one off situation.

UPDATE: GOT A NEW REPLACEMENT (3.5-3.9 Stars max)

Firmware updater released on PC. But now can be updated on Xbox App however the app sucks. (Edit 2025 new update no longer supports Xbox app firmware update must use pc anpp again..wtf tired of this company) Upon launching app a progress bar starts loading a percentage w/ the message do not unplug. No indication it’s updating. Apparently it did. But while I couldn’t verify if it’s the latest firmware. I already lost confidence in the software(& probably the Razer brand too) and updated through PC anyway. Major gripe about the PC updater: it doesn’t confirm if you already have the latest firmware. It just flashes and installs… is this freeware from github or a hardware gaming company w a $200 controller? Smh

Pros: quality weight and feel, rgb(if you even care for this?), tactile mouse click triggers, a really decent clicky gated d-pad (better than most), a lot of extra decently placed buttons that feel good, adjustable haptic, multiple profile config saves, easy quick instant button mapping. Carrying case.

Cons: app, firmware update required, updated app didn’t include a calibration option, Outdated 2020 Hall Effect tech used in 2024 when newer VRS is more economical, durable, accurate, and energy efficient. No adjustable tension for a $200 price tag. Only two extra plastic thumb sticks, why not just throw in two identical pairs? They’re plastic anyways. You still need a dongle. Face buttons could feel “mushy” to some, And I could be wrong, but I don’t think it’s Bluetooth as they advertise. Size, if only it was a couple centimeters larger it would probably rest perfectly in most hands. It’s not switch pro small but with back paddle placement it can be noticeable.

Biggest con. Razer as a company is incompetent. Do not buy if you do not have a windows pc. Razer is company who creates an Xbox controller with an Xbox app, but does not push firmware updates through the Xbox. You have to download a separate software on a PC then update firmware through there cuz if you don’t, it won’t allow you to use the Xbox app! This is after a year of use, and while hardware is ok, I’ve grown more tired with this company as it’s a controller with inconveniences that start to pile up which is no excuse at this price range. Save your money.
