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.

    Worth The Upgrade

    Great upgrade from the basic wireless Xbox controller. I believe it was worth the money. Feels great in my hands, and I like having the option of using paddles now. There's also the ability to change the D pad, as well as the knob's with different option's which come in the package, along with a nice protective travel case.

    Great controller, but bumpers break easily

    The controller worked great, and the paddles on the back were able to work with rebinding native keys, but with the default configuration I was also able to use Steam controller configuration to rebind keyboard and mouse keys to the controller. It had everything I wanted, and it handles very well. But, after about 6 months of use, the right bumper broke, and because I didn't purchase a protection plan I now have to repair it on my own, or just deal with a broken button. I read reviews online about "just rebind the RB to one of the paddles," but come on, no one wants a broken button, and it shouldn't have broken this soon in the first place. I read online that this was a problem with the series one controller, and apparently it hasn't been fixed in the series two. If you buy this, make sure to get the protection plan, because chances are your bumpers are going to break. Other than the bumpers, I've had no problems with the controller.

    Good controller, but little expensive considering it doesn't come with the extra buttons it's specificity designed for. You have to buy the case that comes with the extra sticks and buttons. Some metal parts instead of plastic. Works well and feels solid.

    Got this when I switched from PS to PC gaming. This controller is amazing. Extra buttons come handy when you play. I have a heavy thumb and keep pressing the analogue stick. This controller allows you to disable it and just use the paddles. For me this product was a game changer.

    I’ve had this controller over a year and have had no problems with it. I’m just an average game player so mostly bought this controller because I was tired of having to purchase a new regular controller every year and hoped this one would last longer. So far it has not disappointed. It is heavier than the regular controller but that doesn’t effect my opinion of it as it is still fairly comfortable to use. I like that you can swap out the controller sticks easily.

    Great controller if you want the ability to customize the settings. Once I played with the Elite, never went back to standard. Like being able to swap dpads, adjust trigger pull, and add levers to the back for additional functions.

    The elite 2 separates itself with the extra paddles on the back. The layout and feel of these extra paddles are much better than other controllers. The programmable profiles are a nice feature as well. If you are a heavy gamer I would opt for the warranty.

    A lot of people have complained about the build quality of this controller. I have not had a single issue and think that it is way better than the default controller included with an xbox. It has a great weight and easily swappable joysticks, d-pad, triggers and everything. The ability to adjust the length of the trigger pulls is a great addition as well as the tension adjusters for the joysticks. The rubberized texture feels extremely good in the hands too!

    So far it’s been working great with no issue, I love been able to customize and use the paddles and to have peace of mind with the protection plan that covers me for 2 years which is a must with the high end controllers, “I would definitely recommend the controller”

    If you are looking for a premium controller, this is a great choice. For the price this is one of the best paddle controllers you can get. All buttons are fully customizable with the software. If I played more controller this would be my everyday controller! love the charger and case that comes with it also. Used it with my computer and it worked great wired and wirelessly. I ended up returning it because I play mostly with mouse and keyboard.
