Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options, along with its comfortable feel and good weight. However, a significant concern among users is the prevalence of stick drift and issues with button quality, particularly with the bumpers and A button. The price is also a point of hesitation for some.

    Everything worked well. After using it for a day ish, the next day the bumpers quit working. Had to pay for warranty through Microsoft to send me another.

    Like all Xbox Controllers, this is an overpriced cheap product that stops working correctly after a few months (stick sway, padel buttons not working). For the price these controllers have, there should be quality control! Don't believe me? Just browse the internet and you'll see how many people have issues with sway and bumpers. I though the elite would be higher quality. I was wrong.

    A and B button miss inputs right out of the box. Absolutely no quality control at Microsoft. They just took some old controllers that didn't sell and slapped them in new packaging and called it "Core"

    The feel of the controller is quality. Being able to adjust stick tension has improved my gaming. The paddle shape and layout work for me, less accidental engagement under stress. Button mapping is sophisticated, easy, and accomplished on the Xbox. I’ve been using this controller for a couple months now and have had zero issues.
