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.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    This controller is hands down the best ever made and is an Absolute must have BUT be sure to purchase the replacement plan because these controllers have real quality control issues.

    I had a series 1 elects controller and it didn’t last long. Bumper, stick drift and grips all started to become an issue a year into using it. I had hoped that the series 2 controller would be more durable, but not even a year into using it I’m already needing to replace it due to bumpers sticking and stick drift. And no I don’t play bumper jumper

    We had issues with normal xbox controllers where the thumbsticks would malfunction. No such issues with the Elite so far.

    It’s definitely a controller. If you are going to use the back paddle buttons. It might be more worth it for you. But I feel like a controller with swappable thumb stick modules would be better incase of stick literally just replace the stick. It just feels like a heavy Xbox controller.
