Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options, along with its comfortable feel and good weight. However, a significant concern among users is the prevalence of stick drift and issues with button quality, particularly with the bumpers and A button. The price is also a point of hesitation for some.

    So far it's been fairly decent for it's price. however there has been a few issues with "A" and "Y" buttons not responding properly, I may have gotten a defective.. But otherwise it's been great with the amount of customization right out of the box.

    I was super skeptical, but it changed my gaming immediately. If you enjoy Halo, or any first person shooter, this controller will change the game for you. Can’t wait to see how it will impact my gameplay in other genres

    I bought the original elite controller approximately 3 years ago and the life that the elites who has makes the other one feel cheap and inferior! The new style of the rubber grips is a major improvement. The tension controls on the thumbsticks makes a difference between night and day. Everything feels new fresh and reinvented. Bottom line... This is a controller that you have to have if you are serious about your gaming!

    I heard about a lot of QC issues. I have not gotten any yet. A product this expensive should not have that kind of a reputation though . . . There is supposed to be an extended warranty for 1 year offered by microsoft. I honestly don't know how the warranty works, but the device works just fine.
