Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options, along with its comfortable feel and good weight. However, a significant concern among users is the prevalence of stick drift and issues with button quality, particularly with the bumpers and A button. The price is also a point of hesitation for some.

    A great controller. As a casual gamer I’m not a fan of the faceted (round) d-pad not having any tactile markers or bumps, so I had to buy an aftermarket “+” shaped d-pad accessory. If you also get the back paddles for this controller they are placed well but require some playtime to get used to, especially if you are accustomed to squeezing the grips.

    by far one of the best controllers i've owned. I used to play with the PDP xbox controller with the mappable buttons on the back but stick drift on those are the worst after 2 weeks of using. and custom controllers from online such as scuf are too expensive. For the price I got for these, which was the open box-excellent, it felt brand new still and I got it for a steal with the price plus the discounts I got from my points here at bestbuy. so if you were to upgrade your xbox controller, this is the one to go for!! DID I MENTION, there are 3 different button profiles you can save for different types of games??! wish I got it sooner but glad i made the investment on this, LOVE IT!!!

    Love the dimming of the home button. Really long lasting battery. But the A X B and Y button felt unresponsive. I was soft to push them as I'm not trying to damage the buttons. I had to press unusually hard to get the buttons to work. But definitely heart breaking when your dogs get to it. :'(

    Best controller I've ever owned

    Great build quality and excellent battery life. I'm also thankful that you can easily remove the hair triggers from underneath as I have a tendency to accidentally hit them when playing. Comes with a nice little docking station too for charging. I feel they should release another version without the stand, hair triggers, extra sticks/D-pad, and case and it would drop the price significantly. The difference between this and the regular Xbox controller is so significant it seems there should be a product in the middle. In any case, this is simply the best PC gamepad you can buy right now however it DOES NOT come with the USB wireless adapter so you have to purchase that separately. I already had one so it wasn't a big deal for me but I can expect some people to be very upset when they pay that amount of money and then can't use it wirelessly on their PC.

    I'm not sure if the price is worth it - but that is subjective. It's a great controller. Feels good in the hand - feels substantial. Many options to customize the feel. Battery life is great. I use with with my Windows PC without any major issues. Sometimes it disconnects but then reconnects really quickly.

    I had the first Elite Controller and was excited to find out the second version was released. I love the weight on the remote and how the grips feel. The extra triggers have a good click to them and the USB C charging case is awesome! I would definitely recommend this even for just regular casual gamers and pros.

    The best Xbox controller! It is hard for me to imagine going back to the standard controller. The weight and hold of the controller and the exclusion of the extras make this controller a bargain.

    Loved the controller. Feels great on your hands. Battery last a king time. A little over a year of usage and some buttons don’t respond and they did when new. But I do use the controller more than the average gamer.

    Best official Xbox controller around. Love the paddles and adjustability of certain aspects. Main dislike is the seemingly short lifespan of the sticks. Very common issue.
