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.

    i cannot stress enough get the protection, rather the total plan or the one off 2 year protection plan. both this and the Sony elite controllers will break in less than three months, this is coming from a moderate player who only plays weekends and a little in the week. if you are a heavy gamer do not cheat yourself. in terms of the actual feel and features its amazing just built with no durability.

    Higher Cost=Poorer Quality

    I never do reviews, but I guess I’m starting. I love these controllers. Works perfectly on Xbox or PC + paddles. But. As the price gets higher the quality becomes more of an issue. 3rd controller that has fallen apart, this one did last a good year and a half which I’m happy about but this controller specifically the grip around it absolutely wears out before the first year of use. 2 of the controllers I’ve had plastic breaks inside the controller without raging being involved (hasn’t effected use). The response mechanism for the triggers is probably the worst, maybe works for a week and wears its self out unless you’re super soft on the triggers all the time. It’s just no longer worth the cost when it seems it’s only designed to last until the warranty runs out. I don’t care to buy new controllers obviously but “premium” controllers should be able to withstand heavy use and not naturally fall apart within a year. IMO.

    Best controller since the Series 1 Elite

    They took the Elite Series 1 and made it better. The paddles are improved (less flimsy, it seems), you have more options for the hair trigger pulls (2 instead of 1), you get tension control for the joysticks, and the grip material wraps all around the controller grips instead of just the back. 4 stars because the right trigger started “sticking” a little bit. When I start pulling the trigger, it would have just a smidge more resistance than the left. Opening up the controller, there are 2 tiny foam pads attached to each trigger that eliminates the noise generated when the trigger returns to its default position. That foam had shifted on the right trigger and the adhesive was causing that stickiness. I removed the adhesive foam from both triggers since I had the controller open and it’s been great ever since. I don’t notice the extra noise at all while gaming (either because I’m wearing headphones or just engaged in the game).

    Love the feel of this controller, and how comfortable it is. Paddles work great and very unique touch with the case being a charger for the controller so you can play wireless, do feel a slight drift in the right analog stick which is kinda disappointing for the price.

    At first I was skeptical of a 200 dollar controller. After been using it for three months now it feels fantastic much better than any other controller than I have ever used. It has a good weight to it and feels high quality. Definitely worth the 200 in my opinion, so just buy it already you know you need a new one.

    This Xbox controller really does make a difference in game play. It may be slightly heavier that regular controller, but the accuracy makes the difference. I would recommend this controller over the regular one any day.

    Though a little on the pricey end, i love my elite series controller. The build and quality of the controller is perfect and it’s definitely the best looking and especially best feeling controller I’ve probably ever used. Would recommend to anyone willing to splurge for the best quality you can buy. Definitely do research on if you’re willing to deal with the problems the controller may get over time, mostly just bumpers being unresponsive for some reason. That is the only downside and I wish a newer model would address this problem in the future or else it would really really be a perfect controller.

    I love this controller I’ve had it for a few years now but I’ve had to come get it fixed or switch because the bumpers or buttons stop working , the stick drift after a year and the plastic peels off, but before all those happen it’s a good controller just wish it’s issues that’s known were fixed or something
