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.

    Awesome controller that is well built and designed. Never going back to standard controllers. Expensive but worth it.

    Good as long as it holds up. The Gen 1 version of this controller broke every 3-6 months. Bumpers and buttons would literally fall off. I replaced it with this one, and the first one out of box had a bad thumbstick. The second one, which I'm now using seems solid. Feels great to use but the durability leaves a lot to be desired.

    For people with small hands like me, they may find the larger size due to the built in battery cumbersone. That is another downside, if the battery starts to fail, you can't replace it.

    Same problem all new elite controllers have. RB just quits working and right analog stick starts to drift in a couple of months. Buy the replacement warranty. You're going to need it
