Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the controller's exceptional overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. Users also frequently praise the device's comfortable grip, balanced weight, and high-quality tactile feel. However, some customers have expressed concerns regarding the durability of the buttons and bumpers, as well as the early onset of stick drift. Despite these technical frustrations and the premium price point, many still consider it a top-tier gaming accessory.

    My husband loves his controller. It's versatile and he loves that the toggles are interchangeable.

    Loved the first generation and love this one even more. Mine unfortunately broke and getting a new one is seemingly impossible for some reason, but seriously still give this product 10 stars out of 5. Nothing like it.

    Love the controller. The grips do not come off like the series 1 controller. Live the charging dock for the controller. Do not need to worry about changing batteries. If you are a Cbox gamer, this is a must have.

    Every elite controller ive gotten has started stick drift and the rb stops working all within 6 months. Get the competitors controllers. Not to mention its super heavy and will cause wrist pains.

    Don't waste your money on this. Microsoft hasn't learned their lesson from the first gen Elite. Plenty of people have issues with stick drift, buttons no longer registering clicks, etc. My controller is about useless right now. First off, I hardly ever use this controller. I bought it for PC gaming, and probably use it once every few months. That said, it's already worthless. - The bumper buttons fail to register unless I slam them - A button often does not register clicks - No longer charges when in the case/dock, have to use USB cable Either I'm lucky for not having stick drift, or it's just because I don't use it often enough. Either way, this controller is not worth the premium. Unfortunately I am past the warranty by one month so I can't send it to Microsoft for repair/replacement. How do ELITE controllers have a shorter lifespan than the vanilla controllers? Having owned an Elite 1 (broken) and Elite 2 (broken), I will never buy another Elite controller even if it has a 5 year warranty, because it's not worth the hassle. I'll be using 8bitdo from now on.

    This is my second elite 2 wireless controller. I use this for PC and the joystick will randomly move or get stuck. Recommended to get the warranty. This is still the best controller for PC.
