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.

    Quality control is non existence with these. I have been thru 3 in the past several years. 2 elite version 1's and about to return version 2. Make sure you get a protection plan on these. Due to all these controllers becoming prone to controller drift. Hints why Microsoft extended the warranty on them due to the class action lawsuit.

    Good as long as it holds up. The Gen 1 version of this controller broke every 3-6 months. Bumpers and buttons would literally fall off. I replaced it with this one, and the first one out of box had a bad thumbstick. The second one, which I'm now using seems solid. Feels great to use but the durability leaves a lot to be desired.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
