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.

    This is my second elite controller. Had the original version when I was console gaming but have switched to pc but haven't gotten used to the whole keyboard/ mouse combo yet. So far no stick drift and love the trigger locks and programmable buttons. Feels better than the wolverine ultimate I used to game with

    This controller is incredible. My first pro and got it at discount. I don't even bother with my 3 other xbox controllers anymore. Great premium feel, back paddles are useful and love customizable features and great carrying case!

    This was my favorite controller for years until I needed a replacement recently. They obviously changed their manufacturing because I exchanged it 6 different times and every single time each controller had the exact same issue. The left thumbstick is completely chalked. Can’t even move it in a circle smoothly, it gets stuck and sometimes it doesn’t even detect movement at all. Again, 6 different controllers from two different locations had this exact same issue. It’s like they know they are pushing out broken controllers but just don’t care lol

    After playing 1st person shooters with an elite controller there is no way I can go back to using a standard controller. Being able map buttons such as melee, spotting crouching & jumping improved my game performance. It makes such a difference not having to move my thumb of of the thumb stick

    Great controller, love that you can get it without the extra buttons but then have the option to add those later. Also love that you can change the color of the light behind the home button.

    I have owned the elite 1 and now the series 2 elite. I can confirm the best controller on PC and Xbox has been supplanted by the newer model. The build quality is top notch, button response perfect, joysticks have no drift, and the joystick tension adjustment is amazing. The carrying case now has a charging dock also. I recommend this to anyone looking for the best.

    Works well with the paddles. The black grips just dont work so well when your hands warm up and get a little sweaty. Hands start to slip. It like those hard rubbers that you cant really grip too good.
