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.

    I had the geek squad warranty on the old model and had to replace it 2 times because of the grips falling apart, it looks like the solved the issue with this one, only time will tell. The new trigger locks are great!

    You need this for just the bigger stick, hairpin triggers, and adjustable settings. And rechargable battery.

    I had the Gen 1 Elite Controller and the grips came off, just was overall not well built. The Gen 2 is much tighter and has much better grips. I also like the 1 piece design and the charger it comes with 10/10 overall

    The grips and overall feel of the controller feel better compared to the original. The only thing I dislike about it is the feel of the home button when you press it. It’s not soft and a deep click like the series 1.

    A console gamers dream. Absolute control (pun intended) over all user controls. Definitely steps up my gameplay because I don’t have to take my thumbs off of the sticks.

    Particularly compared to the controller that comes with the Xbox, this one is way ahead in terms of possibilities. You can tighten the joysticks, use paddles etc all to enhance how well you respond, play the overall game etc. It is meant for more of a competitive aspect rather than casual play but I’m sure you’ll like it more than the regular controller.

    Well it isnt a bad controller but it isnt the greatest either but overall its a clean controller. But it does tend to have a little thumbstick drift after 4 months
