Customers are saying

Customers are pleased with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. They also frequently praise its comfortable grip, good weight, and responsive feel. However, a significant number of customers have reported issues with stick drift developing quickly and concerns regarding the durability of the buttons, including the bumpers. Despite some initial hesitation about the price, the positive attributes like its overall comfort and useful paddles generally contribute to a positive user experience.

    Love the controller with exception of price and the stick drift issue. It's nice that Microsoft finally acknowledged that it was a problem and extended the warranty but it would be better if they would fix the issue. On my second controller in 4 months so we'll see how it holds up. A little on the pricey side when considering the quality issues they have been having.

    Upgraded to this controller but I recommend buying the warranty, I play daily so the buttons damage a little before the 2 year warranty expires! Best purchase ever. I was running through cheap controllers every 3 months at 60 dollars a piece

    The controller itself is great buy it. What’s not great is having to go to 3 different best buys just so that they can say oh the one we have is a refurbished one and looks like a dog chewed it all up. If I’m paying for a warranty I expect my closest Best Buy to have the replacement not one that’s an HOUR COMMUTE from my house!!! Pathetic!

    Excellent controller! Can feel the quality that went into the product. Much better fit to the hand vs the original control from an Xbox one. Best Buy did an amazing job at answering all of my questions did so with a positive attitude and huge smile. Kudos to Microsoft for the remote design and Best Buy for thir amazing service!

    This is my fourth Microsoft Elite controller I have owned. All have been purchased from Best Buy. I always purchase the extended warranty because they always seem to develop hardware issues. The controller itself has an excellent feel and performs well. Unfortunately for me, they seem to have a fully functional life of about one year before needing replacement. Its very disappointing for a high quality item like this to have continuing issues!

    This controller is very good, if your looking for a PRO controller, this is a good one. The battery life lasts for a long time, the grips, triggers and everything else just feels very comfortable in your hands. I definitely recommend putting the geek squad warranty just in case you have an accident OR if SOMETHING else happens....
