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.

    Ive had multiple elite 2 controllers the look and feel good . They tend to stick drift quite easy if you drop them.

    Best Controller I Have Tried So Far!

    The aesthetics of the controller drew me in along with the built in rechargeable battery. Also have the ability to remove the toggles for longer ones is great. The d-bad also can be swapped out for a traditional d pad style button. The rear paddles make it handy when playing COD so you can slide cancel, jump, and move flawlessly throughout the game.

    The Elite controllers are heavier than the standard Xbox One controllers and feel much better. I originally had the 1st version, but after about 2 yrs the menu button started sticking and I did a warranty exchange. The new version has a better texture and the paddle sticks are better also. I've used it on my Xbox One X and PC, works great, but for PC need the wireless dongle to use.

    Great controller however I have had to repair it myself a couple of times due to dust build up on certain buttons but very straight forward the customization of it is unbeatable.

    Excellent Functionality and customization, though it is very expensive, the price jump over the original was a bit unnecessary. the rubber grips are a big help for sweaty gaming sessions, and the rechargable battery is a nice touch, although it is a shame that it is built-in and non removable.

    I have been using the Elite series of controllers since gen 1, it is nice to finally have a cheaper purchasing option than the $180 original gen 2 with the case and charging base.

    A little heavy but the buttons give me zero issues. No stick drift after a year and I usually destroy my controllers after a couple months

    Nothing more need be said than I love this controller! I use the paddles underneath to make actions like sprinting and melees easier to perform. I have 4 separate setups -- 2 PCs and an XBOX X and an XBOX S. This controller completes the set (4th one). I use it and another one wired for my PCs and wireless for my XBOXs.

    I like the idea of a customizable controller, but this feels out of my league honestly. A+ idea with C execution unfortunately. A controller with this price has to be perfect. It really wanted to like this.

    I had the previous Xbox Elite controller and really liked it. It’s rubber would wear off which I’m guessing may happen to this one as well. The reason I only gave 4 stars is because you can not change out the batteries on the new model. The whole controller has to be charged. I’d prefer to have a rechargeable battery pack and still be able to use normal batteries.
