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.

    This is the most recent release of the Elite Series 2, but sadly still has the same A and Y button problem, where you have to press the buttons carefully for them to respond. Not a manufacturing defect but a characteristic on this controllers.

    Dog sheet quality to say the least. Joystick drift and RB button wasnt registering after only 3 months. Send it back and get a replacement that also is defective. And to top it all off it’s absolutely Impossible to get someone from Microsoft to help make it right. Fooking Joke of a company. I will spit in every persons face that works there or has ever worked there and not think twice about it. Done with MS to say the least. Their whole company is Down syndrome

    Much better than the first iteration. Seems like they got a lot of the QA issues sorted out.
