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.

    Bought this for my son. He said this is the best controller on the market. But…was “overkill” for him as he’s not a competitive gamer.

    I have had four of these controllers, sometimes replaced via Microsoft warranty, other times replaced via Geek Squad protection. The left bumper always goes out. Hope that you don't play bumper jumper or you will be very frustrated. Other than this consistent flaw, the controller is amazing. Every feature regarding both hardware and software is great! I only need the LB button to work when the game is on the line...

    I originally had the first elite controller and loved it. They made everything even better with trigger stops, grip on the back, and adjustable thumbsticks.
