Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the controller's exceptional overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. Users also frequently praise the device's comfortable grip, balanced weight, and high-quality tactile feel. However, some customers have expressed concerns regarding the durability of the buttons and bumpers, as well as the early onset of stick drift. Despite these technical frustrations and the premium price point, many still consider it a top-tier gaming accessory.

    Bought one that had stick drift after less than a month. Returned it and got a new one thinking maybe it was me being too harsh on the sticks or it was faulty but had the same issue a few weeks later with this one. Save yourself some money and the headache and just get a 8bit pro.

    I took a chance on this after having issues with my elite series 1 and stick drift. After reading how Microsoft was improving the quality with series 2 I decided to try this and got burned again. Within a few months the left trigger is already sticking. I have not had food or drink near the controller. For such an expensive controller the failure rate is way too high. While the controller was working it felt great. Buttons responsive and quiet lots of customization options, back triggers etc but I can't recommend it with the lousy build quality and QC.
