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.

    The highest quality control we I've ever purchased. Microsoft outdid their self with everything from the box it comes in. The case to protect it. And the magnetic charger and type c charge port. Feels unbreakable in your grasp.

    Absolutely love this controller, I didn’t t think there would be much difference, or enough difference between this and the regular controllers to warrant buying the better one but wow!!! It’s soooooo much better than the regular ones. The respon time is so much faster, and smoother controls. Love it

    This is a great product in every way advertised. I really like the customization that you can do with this and the built in battery. You just have to make sure you can justify the additional money. For me it was worth it. For some it may not be.

    The price may turn some off, but the Elite Series 2 is the best controller there is. I love the customization feature that lets you have separate game profiles. Compatibility with Xbox One, PC, and later Series X makes it a worthwhile investment.
