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.

    I feel the price point is way to high, I found some other controllers that feel just as good at half the price. Keep searching IMO

    The controller is good, WHEN, it connects. I'm new at gaming on a PC, so I thought that the connectivity problems were my fault, until I found out later that there are hundreds of people with the same problem: the controller no connecting, or disconnecting in the middle of a gameplay, etc. I'm gonna have it replaced with Microsoft, but I just wish I had returned it when I could. Almost $200 for controller that can't even connect via Bluetooth?

    The first one I owned bumper buttons died. Second one I bought suffered from left thumb stick drift. When it’s not breaking or broke works great…

    better get the extended warranty because they get to go bad after few months of constant playing. With Geek Squad protection it is a good buy though

    I was very disappointed in this controller. The A button doesn’t register the press roughly half of the time. It feels solid, triggers and the other options are great, but the lack of quality control on these buttons are a known issue that Microsoft has not yet addressed.

    The controller feels good and gives every perception of quality including a nice case to hold accessories. However, it has been plagued with connection issues since day 1. Finally, 9 months in and it finally broke. Microsoft has extended the warranty to 1 year presumably due to ongoing quality issues.

    The employees and I went through over 10 used elite controllers to find the right one. Every single used item was mislabeled by best buys geek squad. Great conditions where poor condition and poor conditions where great conditions. Some smelt of cigaretts, others missing cables and buttons. Finally we found a good condition one, free of noticable defects it was missing the cable and a paddle shifter the employee said not to worry and took one of the cables and shifters from the terrible condition items saying he had to send them back anyways. After 30+ minutes of finding the right one i take it home, plug it in, and the right trigger didn’t work. It was rough, 10 out of 10 employee. 0 out if 10 product.
