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.

    The controller is fantastic. I definitely can't say it's a necessity. But, it adds a new element to gaming. The adjustable controls are a great feature

    3/3 Elite controllers are defective

    I bought a Series 1 controller long after their release- after Microsoft had time to clean up its obviously defective production- and yet still received a controller that ended up with a defective RB after 2 months. This past November, I bought a Series 2. The first of which I had to return after a day because the A button would become stuck and fail to register. Now, it’s March, a whole 4 months after purchase, and the LB now is failing on the replacement. Third controller purchased; third controller defective. It’s like a $235 lottery where you spend your hard earned money on a substandard product that most likely will fail long before a standard controller would. Closing thoughts: called Elite but built petite.
