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.

    It works well but the A button is intermittent already after only a couple of months of light use (8-12 hours a week). No issues with the grips yet like the first elite. The elite series 2 joysticks do work so that's a plus.

    Play a lot of games tried a lot of controllers and this is the Ferrari of them for Xbox right now I own both consoles and tried many controllers and I personally enjoy this one the most and love the options you get to customize your sensitivity’s for the triggers etc and the three different trigger locks are nice and magnetic buttons can’t go wrong! And bonus the case plugs in and controller charges like a wireless charge is also dope

    Then this controller isn't for you. Just kidding. The Elite Series 2 controller caters to your every need. Does it feature excellent grips? Yes! Does it have multiple attachments? Yes! Will it cook for you? No, but it wishes it could! This bad boy has all the features of the previous Elite controller, with the addition of adjustable thumbstick tension, a profile quick-select button, and an extra trigger stop setting that'll help you spam-fire and miss your shots even faster now!
