Many appreciate the customization options and the controller's overall feel and weight. However, customers are negative about the prevalence of stick drift issues reported by some users, as well as concerns about the durability of certain buttons and bumpers. The positive feedback on features like customization and feel is frequently offset by negative experiences with controller longevity.

    Nice controller, works with my PC well. The controls are solid and the synchronicity to my PC games across multiple Apps is great. Only negative is the longevity seems 1-2yrs max before need to replace.

    One of the best controllers out there. They helped me out and figured out a plan to turn in my old one because it was giving problems at an early stage and we resolved it.

    Durability is a problem. Bumpers and sticks tend to be the first thing to go. However I do think while it is new it is one of the best controllers on the market.

    I got this controller for use specifically with my PC, but as it has differential profiles available (three to exact) I was also able to pair it with my Xbox. Great controller and I’m so impressed with the quality.I felt as though it was very well constructed. This makes two elite 2 controllers I have…too bad it won’t pair to my PS5

    Nothing else compares

    *Will update this review at 6 months First impression is that nothing else compares. This is my first elite controller and after holding the original xbox controller, the difference is felt right away. I dont own an xbox, so i use this while playing on PC. With that being said, the ability to remap pretty much any button to any function you would normally use on keyboard on to the controller, is phenomenal from a quality of life perspective. Construction is sturdy, and the textured rubber grips that wrap around where you hold gives a next level of comfort. Being able to adjust the tension and force needed to move the joystick is a great feature. The soft-touch face is nice, but i can see this becoming a fingerprint magnet. Buttons are nice and tactile, and all the changeable parts are magnetic so you wont have to worry about snapping anything. A huge plus is the carrying case which doubles as a charging station via usb-c, and a holder for other accessories (the charging dock inside can also be used independently from the case). A few cons, though its a bit nit-picky are the length of the paddles. This isnt too big of a deal, but i had to readjust my grip and how i hold the controller to press the paddles on the back without my fingers interfering one another (i have medium-large hands). A USB dongle to connect the controller to pc is not included and would have to be ordered separately, which can be a con to some. The longevity of this controller is yet to be seen from personal experience, as i have read reviews of this controller being DOA, buttons not working after a few months, or the terrible stick drift. Honestly, i don't see myself buying another controller after this as this is truly the ultimate device for handheld/controller gaming. Is it worth the upgrade from an original controller? For my application, yes! Should you buy it? Depends on what you're looking to do with it.

    Item works well, only wish it included the pads. It's something not clearly called out on the description.
