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.

    Best Xbox Controller

    I use the paddle buttons on the back of the Elite controllers for "A" and "B" buttons. This makes it easier to move and look around while jumping in games. The Series 2 feels better built than the first version and I like the charging dock.

    So I hesitated getting this for my son due to cost. I bit the bullet and bought to and I am so glad I did. He loves it. Once we got it home and realized all it could do it was definitely worth the cost. It is truly a huge upgrade from the standard controllers.

    Bought this for gaming on my laptop and it works well. Integrated easily and required nearly no real setup. Just plug and play for the most part.

    Bought this controlling in May 2020. 5 months later (October 2020) I have some pretty severe stick drift on my right stick. Microsoft has extended the warranty to 12 months on the controllers due to a lawsuit concerning stick drift but now I have the hassle of having to mail it out for repairs. At this price point I feel like this controller should be pretty close to bullet proof. Especially only after 5 months use. Perhaps look into a scuf controller as they just released a new line for xbox.

    Great controller when it works, I’ve gone through 4 of them because of wear and tear. Within 6 months i have to get another one, definitely buy warranty if you’re getting this controller.

    I have been contemplating getting an elite controller for years and it meets all my expectations. Love the adjustable analog sticks and having an option for convex stick for left side. It's a lot of money, but still cheaper than PC gaming.

    Love it! Great response and feel, but does seem to lose connection at random times. But reconnects after a few minutes. Hopefully an update will fix that issue. Other than that, it’s the best controller I’ve had yet.

    Definitely an improvement over the standard controller and it is nice to be able to customize things such as trigger pull depth and the control pads, but not 100% sure it was worth the expense.

    I don’t know if it’s worth 180, but hands down the best controller I’ve used. It feels real good in your hands, and customizing the thumb sticks feels great. I use it on my pc and I had to buy the Xbox Bluetooth adapter
