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.

    Probably the best controller on the market. Some nice improvements on the original, especially the internal long lasting battery and adjustable thumb stick tension. That being said, I unfortunately got one with somewhat busted thumb sticks. Super jangly and loose, noticeably more so than my old and well worn elite series 1. I guess some controllers leave the factory better than others. I’ll be using my geek squad to grab a new one.

    For the amount of options and things you can do with this controller, I personally enjoy it compared to the typical regular Xbox controller a person can get. Me personally however, I waited for when there was a sale going on for Best Buy, or if there was an open box version available

    Its been a month and Ive def noticed some wear and tear but over all its functional still. Id give it 5 stars cause its such a good controller but for 200 dollars id expect it to be a bit more durable so ill give it 4.

    The controller is excellent, the price you pay is worth every dime. The controller has weight and has a more premium feel then the regular controller. Battery life is amazing and could last a solid week on heavy gaming. The parts are so easily interchangeable and dont think about using another controller.

    I only had my first one for 3 months and the RB button up top stopped working. Bestbuy exchanged it for free. Not sure if it’s because I’m a total tech member or not. I am tho. I had this one for a few weeks. I will update. Other then it falling apart. It does the job. I use it wired, can’t say anything about battery life. I would buy again because I use the paddles on it.

    It is a great controller for games I call of duty rainbow six Siege and a bunch of FPS titles as built-in trigger stops so it feels like mouse click triggers and you could customize the joysticks on the d-pad with bumpers at the back
