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.

    Overall this is a solid controller and feels great in the hand, the one downfall is when it gets stick drift and you’re unable to fix it in the settings. Other than that the controller is worth it given the hefty price tag.

    Controller feels to built of decent quality. The only issue that I really have from time to time are the button presses not getting registered. A bit buggy every now and again but still an overall good controller.

    Had to return this controller twice until I received one that worked 100%. First one had problems with the A button. Second one had left stick drift. Third one was perfect. For the price they shouldn’t be that unreliable but with the Geek Squad warranty I was eventually pleased.

    I like that its a bit heavier, the paddles are nice at times but get in the way at other times. This will definitely get stick drift.

    The best controller I’ve ever had! I love the adjustable trigger, perfect for fps or more laid back trigger use. I don’t use paddles much but after taking sometime to adjust they definitely come in handy

    If you are a pro gamer then this is a must have for PC or XBOX. Just giving 4 starts because it's still too pricey and would like to see some more dynamic designs of the controller than the classic skin it comes with.

    Big difference noticed when playing with an elite series controller vs the standard xbox ones. Handles have some grip to them that feel nice when hands get clammy

    After owning and using the original model quite a bit the update to the original Elite model is outstanding. Even down to the quality of the home button with the more tactile click shows the patience and enhancements in design.
