Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the product's great overall performance, excellent battery life, and extensive customization options. They frequently praise its comfortable feel, good weight, and comfortable grip. However, a significant concern raised by users is the issue of stick drift, which appears to develop quickly. Additionally, some customers have experienced problems with button quality and found the price to be a point of hesitation.

    I play games on just about everything (PC, Xbox, Phone) and I am so glad I have this controller to use on all these platforms. As soon as you pick it up you know it's a great quality build. Extremely easy to switch out sticks and d-pad (takes seconds). It's also very easy to set the paddles to whatever button you want (I did it through the Xbox).

    I like this controller. I’ve had it for about 4 years, but the biggest issue is that I need to replace it at least once within each year, whether it’s due to joystick drift or bumper buttons not working properly. Luckily, I bought the warranty ($60) and I’ve been able to get it replaced without dropping almost $200 every time. Wish it was higher quality but I’ve settled for this because I simply cannot go back to a regular (paddle-less) controller.

    The Elite Series 2 appears to have a better build quality than the Series 1 that I previously owned that the covering started to fall apart. I was also noticing gimbal drift that was very annoying. Fortunately I had purchased the Best Buy warranty. I used the purchase refund towards the Series 2 with the Best Buy warranty. So far I am very pleased with the performance.

    Nearly as good as the previous gen. I like how you can have more than 2 profiles (3 loaded at any time) but the controller is narrow than the previous gen one and, as such, the upper paddles require you to curve your fingers to access them.

    Arguably the best wireless controller in the market for PC gaming. Sometimes has connection problem but overall very good. Maybe the Bluetooth adapter helps with the connection problem but is sold separately. The built quality is great. Nice to hold in hand specifically with the satisfying weight.

    I have used both the standard Xbox One and the Xbox Elite controller and this V2 is a great modern option. It will also connect to the Xbox Series X. While the Elite had the rubber that would separate from the bottom plastic, this V2 has rubber that wraps around, with the only downside is that it leads to sweatier hands during gaming sessions.

    This was my favorite controller for years until I needed a replacement recently. They obviously changed their manufacturing because I exchanged it 6 different times and every single time each controller had the exact same issue. The left thumbstick is completely chalked. Can’t even move it in a circle smoothly, it gets stuck and sometimes it doesn’t even detect movement at all. Again, 6 different controllers from two different locations had this exact same issue. It’s like they know they are pushing out broken controllers but just don’t care lol
