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.

    Overall decent feel, takes some getting used to. Great mapping and good feel in the hands. I still think the joysticks are a bit odd but I’m used to it and happy with the added triggers

    Pros -Best feeling controller I have ever had. Fine controller, smooth, and great grip. Hair triggers are super nice. Cons- Left stick drift that started out as a very minor problem, them developed into a huge problem that custom joystick settings with huge deadspace eventually didnt even work.. This progressed over a single week..

    Best controller I’ve ever used. Carrying case is awesome, customization is great, and I couldn’t be happier. I really love the weight of it compared to the regular Series X controller as well.

    The controller is an amazing controller and it feels amazing. I gave it a 3 star because if you already own the first elite controller it’s not worth the upgrade

    This was an open box item. Unfortunately the former owner cracked it on the back and got something sticky in the buttons so I had to return it. I just decided to buy a new one because the product seemed good just not the open box experience.

    This has definitely improved my gaming skills and ability. Also I really like how it’s more heavier it’s definitely gives a different feel in a positive way. And the vibrations are definitely smooth

    Comfortable and responsive! Customization was never easier and the longer thumb-stick helps when playing Forza.
