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.

- Cons mentioned:Button quality
Buttons only last a few weeks
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First off, I’ll say that i had the first series of elite controller and i loved it. So naturally when i saw the series two come out, i had to get one. And here is where i get frustrated. Ive had not one, but two series two controllers and i wont buy another. I had the first one for maybe a month before LB, RB, and A buttons stopped working. Then when i went through the process to get it replaced under my warranty, it took weeks before i got my new one. Now with my second one, it lasted only two weeks longer than my first one before i had the same issues. Both the LB and RB buttons stopped working completely and the A button is starting to go as well. To sum it up, these controllers would be amazing if the buttons lasted but they wear out in no time and stop working. And its a shame cuz i was a big fan of the first series considering i had it for years til i bought the series 2.

Good wireless controller
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Core controller is good enough for the price. I definitely would buy the accessories but not necessary, just wanted to get an extra one so my son and I can play together.

I would recommend this to a friend Silver lining
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly it sucks what you have to go thru to find a 100% working controller, i had returned 2 from batch 2035 and found 1 from batch 2034 and have no issues. Quality control aside its great Microsoft increased their warranty to 1 year. The controller itself is super cool though and everything you get with it, the nice case, the charger, interchangeable parts, and the settings you can tweak from the vibration on each motor to the brightness of the logo. Quality issues aside its really a dope gamers controller.

Great controller, but button failure imminent
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I do like the elite controller. However this is my second time buying it after the first set of issues i had. First time i bought it it worked great. But when i tried to play claw the A button only worked 1/4 of the time. The RB then started to double click. Playing Gears 5 was a headache with this happening. Then the LB went out completely. So took it back and got anther one 1 year later. This current one worked great. But again i can't play claw bc the A button doesn't always function unless your pressing it in a certain way. And 1 month later the RB is starting to double click yet again. So i can only assume that my LB may also go out. The 1st gen elite controller worked flawless for me. This 2nd series has just completely sucked. So depending on what games you play im sure it'll work out fine. But for me and the games i play i need a fully functional controller. Not a partially functional one. So after i return this onw i will try the razer wolverine ult. Hopefully it works with claw otherwise I'll exchange it as well.

Red controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Definitely like that it has color. Needs better grip for big hands and maybe some more button for extra customization/Personel. Over all it’s good though.
