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.

    The paddles are a literal game changer. Being able to activate face buttons wirhiut removing your right thumb from the thumbstick gives you the edge over traditional controllers. In gaming, that 1/2 second means everything

    This is my review for having it over a year. If your lucky . It started out and a amazing controller coming from a regular one and as time went on it’s functions became comical. Once out of warranty form Microsoft it’s bumpers would be non responsive and then the back paddles wouldn’t click and finally the triggers fully quit.

    Coming from an Elite 1, they built upon the solid build and made it even better. Everything is a bit tighter.
