Customers are saying

Customers are pleased with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. They also frequently praise its comfortable grip, good weight, and responsive feel. However, a significant number of customers have reported issues with stick drift developing quickly and concerns regarding the durability of the buttons, including the bumpers. Despite some initial hesitation about the price, the positive attributes like its overall comfort and useful paddles generally contribute to a positive user experience.

    Get the protection plan.This is always needed any time you purchase a new item. Saved you a lot in the long run. The cord breaks often.

    The perfect controller. The paddles make the buttons obsolete. Completely programable. Love it.

    Upgrade and downgrade from the original Elite

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Ive been using the elite since nearly its release. I was a huge fan of the original for reasons such as the weight, the grip, the feel, the customization options and durability. The 2 main issues I have with it is the backside grips peeling and not able to re glue or re attach due to shape change after peeling, and the usb charging slot being finicky, as most usb charging ports lose its durability and develop issues overtime. I went through 3 controllers abiut eveey 2 years due to those 2 issues continually developing. This newer edition, Elite 2, has some amazing upgrades I'm quite attracted to. One being the type C charging port upgrade, as they seem much more durable and also faster charging. Having a non replaceable internal battery seems sketchy to me like it will lose ability to charge over a long time like other batteries like it, but for me i replace it every 2 years anyways, so its an upgrade for my personal use. The grips dont feel as comfortable to me, they seem to feel sticky even though its clean and my hands are clean. Just not that comfortable but ive gotten used to it. Doesnt seem like they will peel as easy as the 1st Elite version but time will tell. Its lighter in weight and a little smaller in size which going back and fourth between the 2, i prefer the heavier weight to it and larger size but im sure thats going to be a preference per each user. The ability to tighten the resistance of the joysticks is great for more precision use. The paddles are smaller, but ive grown to like that aspect. You can use the original Elite paddles on the Elite 2 version, they do fit, if you like larger paddles, but going back and fourth, the smaller paddles feel better now. An added position for trigger locking is a good upgrade instead of just the 1 position the original offered. Already been useful to me. The rest os really the same. Same mapping options, different size joysticks that fit your style, the globe and cross D pad options of course. The case is nice with the charging pad inside just plug the charging cord through the back into the device, helps keep controller dust free while not in use charging but you can charge while playing as well. I had fun customizing the color of the main power button. There are also more save settings for your custom mapping layout, 4 total i believe but I only need 2 myself anyway, typically LB and RB mapped to the rear paddles so I dont need to loft my fingers off the triggers at all. Overall, I think its the best option, even from off brand manufacturers that charge even more for less options it seems. Be sure to get GS warranty for 50 bucks or whatever it is, replace it after couple years because its not cheap, but worth the investment if you game and want more of a competitive edge, or just max comfort while playing. Took away a star due to the rubber grip that just doesnt feel as good as it could have.

    This controller is so much better then the one that comes with the xbox. The feel the buttons the triggers, everything is more solid. The only complaint i have is when playing COD it was drifting bad so had to adjust the settings. Shouldn’t have to do that out of the box

    I bought this controller because it was listed as a FST-00008 model (not the original FST-00001 model). After using the device for a few gaming sessions I noticed the usual A button sticking and Bluetooth disconnects these controllers have. I checked the box and I was sent a FST-00001 Model lot 2034. Will be returning the device as the FST-00001 models are defective.
