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.

    Was expecting a lot more. I easily would accidentally click the back tabs and while its pretty grippy the rubber ends up being easily scuffed as well. For the price the controller didn't work enough.

    Amazing controller when it works. After roughly a year of use the bumper buttons stopped working. This is an issue I've had with every elite controller ive owned

    My first controllwr was broken roght out of the box. The A face button woukd only register about half of the time. I returned and exchnaged it for tje same controller, and the one i recueved was the sw problem, except it was both the A and B face buttons. Very frustrating for a basic function to not work on a $130 controller. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

    Expensive paperweight

    This thing didn't even last 2 months. First, the buttons wouldn't register being pressed unless you solidly hit the center. And then all of a sudden, it stops detecting ANY USB cable plugged into it. So now it can't charge. I have a $140 Xbox-themed paper weight. I'll just stick to the regular Xbox controllers from now on. The "Pro" version is clearly all marketing. Never again.
