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 have the first elite controller. This is slightly better but with a rechargeable battery and tweakable sticks for tension. If you have discounts awaiting you(rewards), I highly recommend.

    I’m still using it and it feels like it’s still new. I pretty much game most of the day. I like the custom profiles, so I can have it set for whatever game I’m playing.

    Happy with my purchase I'm just hoping it last longer than the first series I bought and exchanged a couple since I had either buttons break or drift. This one feels better built than the them.

    The premier “pro” Xbox controller, however they are continually plagued by bumper malfunctions. If had 3 over the past 4-5 years, however no other controller comes close to feel. I recommend getting the year warranty as I’ve needed to swap them almost yearly with fairly heavy use.

    I love that you can charger it in its case!! The only concern is the bottom right came loose but snapped back in place. Maybe its so you can swap them out with different colors in the future?
