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.

    Terrible Quality Assurance DO NOT BUY!

    For the record I bought two of these things both “Open-Box Excellent” which is a complete and total lie. Both controllers were shipped with issues. The first, the right trigger didn’t work properly and the second controller the left thumbstick didn’t press down and was jammed. This is beyond disappointing. The fact that these items were “checked”, returned, and labeled without even verifying that they FUNCTION properly. Is so incompetent it borders on fraud. I’m returning these and will never buy anything gaming wise from Best Buy again. As much as I hate Amazon, I’d rather buy from them than deal with the constant scamming from Best Buy, because they’re too lazy to do their jobs properly.

    Good not great, break easily. Had them replaced by totaltech warranty but they made a hassle and did not want to exchange for a new unit. Did get a new controller with the warranty at the end.

    Replaced my elite 1 controller but am not completely satisfied. The a button is inconsistent but fortunately I use the paddles. Warranty is a joke so I just dealt with it.

    I’ve had this controller for only one month and it has already broken. One of the paddle buttons now makes a loud click and the up on the d- pad also makes a louder then normal click sound.. but other then that it’s a really good controller
