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.

    So far so good. It definitely helps with the ability to configure buttons to each game. It’s a little pricy, but worth it if your looking for next level controls.

    Great controller to use, when it works. I am about to send in my third controller back for warranty repairs in 5 months. Issues include stick drift, buttons sticking, and double pressing buttons with only a single input.

    “B” button broke in 10 days - disappointing

    Pros: battery built in. upgrade to rubber design to prevent peeling (we will see), hair trigger manual instead of on console settings, all black (preference), slightly longer cord, new cord connection it’s slightly bigger than previous model, Cons: button haptics are not as crisp, button stuck within 10 days, internal battery makes it heavier as it’s not removable, all black with no accents (green & silver) which was on previous model (personal preference), does not come with two long stick options just one, doesn’t last long, 10 days old and it broke, have to use my original elite from years ago which feels so much better, lighter and responsive in hand. Unfortunately they totally stopped making the elite a couple months back. Will be getting a replacement soon and will report back periodically with updates. Hopefully with an upgrade to the star count.
