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.

    Stick drift. Buttons that stick. Honestly, this is the worse controller I’ve ever bought. I stopped using it in a month. Not worth it.

    I had the first elite controller and i think this one is definitely better. Love the ability to charge in the case. My only regret is that i should have waited for it to be on sale.

    Great controller, however, I think even when purchase new these are actually refurbished, because my first controller after few weeks right shoulder button doesn’t work consistently and after a year later I exchange it for new one and this time the left shoulder button doesn’t work consistently… Bad on on Microsoft side.

    I loved my Gen 1 Elite Controller, but I am not pleased with this second “improved” iteration. It doesn’t allow for my own batteries, requires charging of the built in (not replaceable) battery. A money grab by Microsoft. Have had this controller 2 months and my A button is already not functioning 100%, the Y button sticks, the joysticks are walking and the battery is requiring charging each day. First generation controller lasted nearly 3 years before it started walking. Do not waste money on this controller for the paddles alone, look for another option that will warranty longer than 6 months.
