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.

    Would rate it 5 stars if I didn’t have a issue with the first one I bought. After researching there’s problems the joy sticks. Love the controller and the paddle options in the back. Definitely a must if your a COD player like myself.

    Wow, switched from scuf controllers and just wow. Paddles took some getting used to tho. Very well done all around. Recommend protection plan tho. I had LB(left bumper) get sticky so just went to best buy n swapped. Very happy. Only thing scuf has better would be customizations.

    I was actually really looking forward to this controller and was fairly disappointed. One of the analog sticks became drifty within a week and the back paddles are very small. Overall the controller looks great and has many options for variability.

    Id say if your a hardcore gamer especially online this is for u with its customization and built quality its ment to take the hours youll put into it. But if u want a controller that doesnt break so easily this also works. Id say wait for the right price doe .

    Near flawless control but had a small stick drift that persists today. Button layout is hard to get used to but is a somewhat quick learning curve if you’re going one button at a time

    Love it. Much better than the first version. 3 levels of trigger resistance. Internal battery. The paddles are a little shorter so it's not as easy to tap accidentally (it still happens from time to time). The construction and materials of the controller are pretty good.

    Controller is very nice, but as many reviews have stated the build quality isn’t the best. Sure is nice though, but definitely not worth $180. If you have the money for it, you should buy the warranty, which is another $60 so yeah it’s really pricey.

    Bought this to replace my Elite Series One and it rocks! I use it for many games since moving over to my gaming PC and it is the best! Love the feel the build and how you can customize it even more then the first one! It is pricey I will admit but if you can spring for it do it and thank me later!
