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.

    Awesome controller. My original pro controller broke and I didn’t want to buy the full set and this thing came in clutch. Was the same great controller for a better price:)

    Overall this is a solid controller and feels great in the hand, the one downfall is when it gets stick drift and you’re unable to fix it in the settings. Other than that the controller is worth it given the hefty price tag.

    Had to return this controller twice until I received one that worked 100%. First one had problems with the A button. Second one had left stick drift. Third one was perfect. For the price they shouldn’t be that unreliable but with the Geek Squad warranty I was eventually pleased.

    Very nice and with the rubber added to it, it is easier to hold and maneuver the joy stick. It is sharp looking with the black and white.

    After owning and using the original model quite a bit the update to the original Elite model is outstanding. Even down to the quality of the home button with the more tactile click shows the patience and enhancements in design.

    Controller feels to built of decent quality. The only issue that I really have from time to time are the button presses not getting registered. A bit buggy every now and again but still an overall good controller.

    I like that its a bit heavier, the paddles are nice at times but get in the way at other times. This will definitely get stick drift.
