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.

    Best controller imo hands down for any console. I use this on PC, even though I have a ps5 I can say this controller is the bees knees. still using it years later. Geeksquad replacement is worth it to get a $200 controller brand new 2 years later

    I’m giving this controller 5 stars based off of the actual controller and feel of it. I’ve been using this controller for about 4-5 years now and it is my favorite controller of all time. With that being said I highly suggest the geek squad warranty because I am very clean and careful with my controllers and I haven’t had one last more than a year. The buttons become sticky or stop working and stick drift is going to happen at some point no matter what. I love the controller, but the longevity is not what it should be for $200

    Not worth the price. The controller is a good idea. But it is poor quality. Buttons don't register some of the time. Bumpers start to loosen up. Stick drift is common in every controller, as it is on this one. Better off getting a cheaper controller with paddles on the back. That way you can buy 3 of them for the price. Of this one.

    Much better than the standard controller. I haven't used all the options it comes with but the overall feel of the controller is the best. When I play with the standard controller, you can definitely feel the difference.

    I’ve bought the elite controllers for a while now and I love them. They feel great in my hand and is pretty simple to set up the paddle to whatever input I want.

    I use this controller just about every day. The controller is well built and has not had any problems so far. The customization you can do to this controller with such ease is impressive and give you a whole different experience with first person shooters. I recommend this controller to anyone who wants a well built user friendly controller.

    The Elite series 2 is an amazing controller. The level of customizations you can have seem endless and it feels great in the hands! It is an expensive unit, but if you play xbox consoles even a moderate amount then this will improve your overall gaming experience.
