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.

    First things first this is an expensive controller and there a lot of other things to spend money on. But if you have the funds or are looking for a gift for an Xbox gamer, this is an awesome controller package. Everything has been built from the ground up to be the best (within reason) way to play on Xbox. The interchangeable parts, the quick settings for how different parts like the d pad react to your input is really well thought out, the nice bonus here is the really nice case it comes in, the usb c charging capability and the charging dock that can either be in the case or outside the case.

    I was leery to pick up another expensive controller since the v1 grips peeled on mine. It has been a few months of average use and I see much improvement. It feels great in my hand, grips are a little light but I’ve had no issues with it slipping. Battery life is good and I enjoy the new charging station. I really don’t use the back buttons all that much so I won’t speak in their function. The triggers are smooth but again not all games recognize the short trigger pulls. Overall it’s a great controller that is more of a luxury item over a need. If you have the funds, go for it. If not, you won’t miss a lot

    Love this controller. Best xbox controller I have ever felt and can't get over how much I enjoy the paddles. Definitely an upgrade from the Series 1 Elite Controller.

    So far so good. I've been using it for a month now and no issues. Hopefully this holds up. 1 year warranty. But again so far so good. I purchased this knowing i didn't feel the need for the extras , like the paddles. But maybe 1 day I'll change my mind. A full Charge on this controller last for a long while. About 30 to 40 hours on a single charge. Love the white and black color scheme. I never used the black elite 2 version. So i can't compare the two. But Overall I'm happy with this controller.

    Replaced multiple of these controllers that all exhibited some level of stick drift brand new from the factory. Microsoft elite controllers are known to have looser manufacturing tolerances versus their standard controllers. You can find many examples online of people saying their controller exhibited the same behavior. If the stick drift doesn’t bother you, it is otherwise a great controller.

    Got it for half price as open box, it had a problem on the right trigger not getting all the clicks, a 2 min YouTube video and WD40 made the fix, it's working perfectly since the, great deal, fantastic quality. My favorite part is the extra 4 buttons on the back that I can configure the way I want, the triggers travel is also great, it does worth the extra price

    Great controller especially if you use additional paddles. However the controller does not seem to last more than a year without starting to develop stick drift and bumper issues. I've been through three controllers in less than 3 years with moderate to heavy use. If you buy a BestBuy geek squad extended warranty, just be aware that if you have to use it, you will have to buy another new policy for the replacement controller. The 2 year policy ends as soon as you use it.

    Absolutely FANTASTIC. I had a scuf controller and it is literally a $300 paperweight.I wish I would have gotten this sooner. There are so many things you can do with this. I love it. I highly recommend you get the extended warranty though throw geek squad because I have read some reviews from some full-time high end streamers who have had issues. However, I am very please. I've streamed over maybe 50 hours and the battery is STILL full. I'm blown away. Stay away from Scuf...this is your controller. I promise.

    Love the weight and overall feel of how hefty it is, pressing buttons feel like you are actually pressing buttons. But, after a while the same clicking starting to feel like they needed more pressure ESPECIALLY the right bumper, both bumpers and B button going out rather quickly for it’s expensive price tag.
