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.

    Bought one around christmas time left thumbstick became non responsive mid january sent it to microsoft they sent me a new one 2 months after receiving the new one left thumbstick went out again. Never ever have I had such a weak controller. Other than that the controller is amazing I wish I could have kept it unfortunately it's not worth constantly returning and buying 50$ warranties every time it breaks. Microsoft really needs to just scrap this model and revise it. The main thing they need to focus on is making the tumbstick mechanisms more durable. It really saddens me that I wasn't able to keep this controller. It was hard going back to a standard controller without paddles.

    The Elite Series 2 is probably the best controller I’ve ever had. However, the one big complaint I have about it is that the D-pad feels very loose. I guess it’s because it’s just the nature of it being an interchangeable part, but the D-pad should feel more high quality than it is for the price of the controller.
