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.

    Very sturdy controller. I do have latency issues sometimes when gaming but its not terrible. I had this controller for about 2 months now and game about 4 to 8 hrs a week and have yet to recharge it.

    Almost Perfect

    While its a great controller it does have its problems. Mine worked great for literally 31 days and the right trigger started creaking when in hair trigger mode. Wasn't necessarily a big deal because it still worked BUT being the controller is 225 after tax and almost 300 with warranty (which yes, you should absolutely buy as I have it) youd expect some rigid materials that can stand the test of time and practical use. 4 out of 5 for me. If youre lucky and get a model thats perfect, its the best controller on the planet. Hands down. With geek squad protection you can just get it swapped out and continue trucking.

    I recently switched over to Xbox and this is by far the best gaming controller I've ever used. It's hard for me to play with any other controller once I used this. Completely worth the money!

    if you already have accessories from the normal Elite series 2 this is a great replacement to save a few bucks. However, I would not purchase if you don't have or are not planning to get the back buttons. While not that big of a deal I am slightly disappointed that the triggers and numbers don't have the same metal feel they had on the original series 2.

    This is the best controller I’ve used for the Xbox so far. It is very responsive and the customization options for the D-pad and thumb sticks are needed for shooters.

    Once you use this controller, you’ll be convinced it’s worth the price. Compared to the standard controller, it’s a world of difference. Now everyone fights for the Elite. I guess I’ll have to get another!
