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.

    This is the 2nd controller purchased and within year buttons are coming off, same thing happened with last one. Other than that controller worked great, but don't want to have to keep buying a new controller due to same issue.

    Great controller! I bought the original Elite Series when it first came out and was excited to finally upgrade to this controller. Once you start using this, it's hard to go back to a normal Xbox controller. The build is premium, but be prepared to get the extended warranty just in case you experience any issues.

    Better than scuff

    I had a scuff prestige that gave me issues 2 months into ownership and within a year the controller wouldn’t even hold a charge when plugged in while playing. I had enough of scuff then found this on sale for like $40 off and it’s more comfortable and reliable than scuff. Love the easily removable triggers on the back and the metal d pad. Even the carrying case it comes in is so smooth. This is the controller for console not scuff trust me
