Customers are saying

Customers are pleased with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. They also frequently praise its comfortable grip, good weight, and responsive feel. However, a significant number of customers have reported issues with stick drift developing quickly and concerns regarding the durability of the buttons, including the bumpers. Despite some initial hesitation about the price, the positive attributes like its overall comfort and useful paddles generally contribute to a positive user experience.

    It's a good controller, but when using it for PC, the connection is unstable and would disconnect constantly. Using a wire fixes the issue but if you wanted a wireless controller this isn't it.

    Solid replacement for elite series 2 but i wouldn't buy without the add ons. Parts relative to the more expensive version seem plastic which means it will likely break earlier.

    I own the first one which is great. I bought the new and it is 10 times better. Tension control thumb sticks are awesome! Smaller paddles which is great cause I used to accidentally hit the bottom ones on the series one. Not sure why some people are saying the controller is slippery, cause I don’t have issues with that. Nothing negative to say about the controller at all

    I love this controller. Soo good. I use the extra back buttons and tabs all the time. Makes gaming so much better now. Also the new d-pad should be standard now on new Xbox controllers it’s that good.

    I play games on just about everything (PC, Xbox, Phone) and I am so glad I have this controller to use on all these platforms. As soon as you pick it up you know it's a great quality build. Extremely easy to switch out sticks and d-pad (takes seconds). It's also very easy to set the paddles to whatever button you want (I did it through the Xbox).

    Elite Series 2 Controller

    The Elite Series 2 appears to have a better build quality than the Series 1 that I previously owned that the covering started to fall apart. I was also noticing gimbal drift that was very annoying. Fortunately I had purchased the Best Buy warranty. I used the purchase refund towards the Series 2 with the Best Buy warranty. So far I am very pleased with the performance.

    As an elite controller buyer it make sense to save The extra money for the same specs minus all of the additional accessories. Also the color options add a flare instead of the standard black elite controller.
