Customers are saying

Customers are pleased with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. They also frequently praise its comfortable grip, good weight, and responsive feel. However, a significant number of customers have reported issues with stick drift developing quickly and concerns regarding the durability of the buttons, including the bumpers. Despite some initial hesitation about the price, the positive attributes like its overall comfort and useful paddles generally contribute to a positive user experience.

    I bought the controller brand new. I hardly play my Xbox since I have a PC and mainly play games on it. I used it a couple (3-4) times, but within 3 months, it would no longer charge or power on.

    For an item that is half priced of the whole system. This is absolutely not worth it. * Brand new item broke within a couple of weeks. (Replaced) * Open box item, also not functional. * I was advices to get this remote as original is wildly inferior.

    Open Box Is Trash!

    Purchased the “open box” version in store twice. Both were marked as “excellent condition” with all accessories included. The first one was missing the charging block. The second one has a broken right bumper. I’m 0 for 2. They’re doesn’t seem to be any quality control and they’re definitely not tested before being resold. Beware of the open box controllers!!

    Purchased few months ago online as a “open box certified inspected” worded perfectly to give buyers ease of mind upon purchasing. Few months down the road remote fails was told to go threw manufacture and was told when I purchased warranty was almost expired 150.00 down the drain NEVER AGAIN.

    This controller was a large let down for me on PC, the 4 paddles on the back of the controller only let you remap buttons and cannot be their own buttons. The software is garbage, it only lets you remap buttons when your controller is pluged in and your controller will hard disconnect whenever it is unplugged. Not worth the money at all

    Its on pricier side but absolutely worth for the money spent on it. The extra triggers help a lot and it feels sturdier then regular xbox controllers.

    The first Elite controller did me good and lasted 5 years before I started having sticky buttons so I decided to go with the Elite 2. After reading many negative reviews, I figured what are the chances that I'll get one too....oh boy. I played my first game and I noticed I wasn't jumping at times and yup, my "A" button was not registering. It's a hit or miss and depends on the angle if that makes sense. Really nice controller but not worth the $180. Boys and Girls please listen to the reviews. You will get a faulty controller out of the box!
