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.

    Handles really well when in hand to hand combat im fps games! Which I really enjoy. The customizable bumpers in the back allow for more fluid motion and transition. All in all, it was a well invested item to my arsenal of gaming gear.

    Girl, I love the controller but it has the same unfortunate problem in the last Elite Controller. I will give the first released Elite Controller props as the pealing didn’t start until 4 years into having it with HEAVY use. (Black ops 3 and 4 bb). On the second series, the rubber started to peel in a much shorter time than the first series. I’d say within 6 months to a year. Something new for me was the RB button would sometimes not read my presses during in game or a single press in a game menu would skip over multiple options versus just moving over one. It’s sad because I know these things can be fixed by the good ol’ DIY and I don’t mind taking these things apart, but at this point, they should just have parts readily available for the user to replace. Make the controller customizable from the jump to lessen the pain of having to find reliable parts or sending the controller back to probably just get a refurbished one back. Idk… Besides that, it’s really pretty and I do love the updated options that come on this model. I do see the love and hope to see these issues fixed in the future.

    Iv'e tried just about all the top brand controllers and the Elite Series is in my opinion the best for high level gameplay. However, The life span of these controllers are very short. I have owned about 3 of these and eventually the controller will experience a manufacturer issue. Sometimes, the LB & RB buttons will give multiple inputs or not even execute the command when pressed. The same issue was experienced on all 3 controllers and not very helpful when you send them in for service and they return to have the same problem. Microsoft really needs to fix how they make these controllers and run better test to prevent these things from constantly happening. Best controller, but will probably malfunction eventually.

    I have purchased this controller twice since it was released. The accessories that come with the controller are easy to interchange and store when not utilized. I have used the paddles just about every way you can have them, but I only keep two of the paddles connected instead of all four. I would not purchase this product without adding the BestBuy protection plan.

    I have a total love hate relationship with this controller. I had my Elite 1 for about two years and it worked great but eventualy the Y button failed and the stick drift was so bad that I upgraded to the elite 2. I also bought one for my 9 year old at the same time, within a few weeks my bumper started failing and stick drift was immediate, It has never not drifted, luckily I play war zone so I just adjust the dead zone and it has no affect in game. Unfortunately I didn't get a warranty with that controller so i bought a second one this time from Best Buy so I could get the warranty. Ironically the one that I got the warranty for has held up great with no problems except it also has stick drift...........

    I’ve had this controller for over a year now almost 2 years and use it almost every day on my computer, not once have I experienced issues with drift or buttons failing, the quality is really nice feels very solid and the interchangeable buttons to swap is a nice feature and I love the triggers adjustments you can do

    I’m love this controller. One problem though, the bumpers do not last as long as the rest of the parts. Still the best in the market though!

    Fantastic upgrade from the Elite 1. The built in rechargeable battery is great and lasts several days of heavy use. The paddles are reconfigured and are a little smaller and I find them more responsive. The build is solid. Dont hesitate.

    Great controller, love the higher tension thumb sticks and paddles. Make sure you get the added coverage from Best Buy because as with any Microsoft controller, stick drift and button registration becomes an issue.

    I had gotten an opened-box all black one for roughly $60 plus $35 warranty. Easily the best controller for any shooter game or even a regular gamer that needs buttons that are easier to press. My opened box one was missing the usb-c cable but that wasn’t a big deal. The controller functions like it is brand new. Easily the best controller I have owned and when this warranty is over and the controller breaks down the line I will 100% be buying another one!!
