Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options offered by this controller. Users frequently highlight the comfortable grip, balanced weight, and high-quality feel during gameplay. However, some customers have expressed concerns regarding the long-term durability of the buttons and the potential for stick drift. Additionally, while many appreciate the design, some find the premium price point and specific bumper functionality to be areas for improvement.

    Never had an elite controller before, was missing out on so much extra functionality! Controller comes with a case and all the essentials that make it more worth the price.

    Such a great purchase if you are an avid gamer. Very sturdy and well built. Button Mapping and controller setting capabilities are awesome and make this controller well worth the price tag.

    Was a little hesitant at first but after playing with the setting and making all the adjustments it was well worth it! Live having my controls customized and having the additional buttons on the back.

    Get the warranty or a different controller

    Do not buy without a warranty. It's a great controller, a bit heavy, and feels solid. That being said, it has issues. Took about six months for right shoulder button to double register each press, and I've seen other reviews with similar issues or worse. Don't buy if you can't afford the warranty because you will need it. I love the controller and just hate that it doesn't last.

    I had the geek squad warranty on the old model and had to replace it 2 times because of the grips falling apart, it looks like the solved the issue with this one, only time will tell. The new trigger locks are great!

    I had the Gen 1 Elite Controller and the grips came off, just was overall not well built. The Gen 2 is much tighter and has much better grips. I also like the 1 piece design and the charger it comes with 10/10 overall

    The grips and overall feel of the controller feel better compared to the original. The only thing I dislike about it is the feel of the home button when you press it. It’s not soft and a deep click like the series 1.
