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.

    Mushy face buttons, mushy trigger even with trigger stop. Quality build, solid feel but razer v3 pro and even the wires tournament edition are leagues above if you want mouse click, instant response on all triggers.

    One on the best feeling controllers I have ever owned. The weight is perfect and the additional buttons on the back are awesome! I've had this controller for about 6 months and the A button isn't registering ever hit. I would definitely get the geek squad warranty with this product if you use it often. I walked in told them the button wasn't working and they gave me a new one. Great controller just wears out quickly.

    In my opinion was one of the best controllers I've used. High build quality for sure. Again my opinion. I've bought quite a lot from Best Buy and they have never let me down.

    I really wanted to like this controller, it felt very solidly well made, except for just one annoying thing: the rubber or latex or whatever material the black side grips are made of made my palms very itchy. Im not sure why. If it did not do that, i probably would have happily kept using this controller. Heres hoping microsoft uses a different, non itchy material for their future elite series 3 controller, if and when they release it.

    It might be a bit hard to swallow the extra cost of this controller but it is well worth the price. It takes a little while to get used to the controls, shape, and weight of the controller especially if you have been using the standard controller for a long time. Love that you can customize the buttons and triggers to your liking as well as the config of the buttons. An extra bonus is the battery life (which I didn't expect).

    Love these controllers. Had the elite series 2 for like 4 years and it finally gave up. Getting the core after allowed me to use my spare parts from the elite series 2 to customize the elite core. It’s a more affordable option if you already have elite parts!
