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.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    It was a gift for my husband. He really loved it, won’t let anyone else touch it and uses it just about every night.

    Awesome design. Makes charging easy. Make sure you get the protection plan though, it will pay for itself.

    I pre-ordered this and loved everything about this controller. But I had to return mine because both sticks would not stay up perfectly straight - there was always some input being sent no-matter-what way they were leaning. I'm sure I would love one that is made correctly!

    Would have been an amazing purchase but stick drift in less than a month and to fix it would be another $80 and voided the warranty…

    [Employee of bestbuy] Bought the first elite 2 in white, noticed the A button would only register if directly pushed down in the center. I was getting missed presses all the time so i returned it. Got this elite 2 in black and literally exact same issue. A button was missing presses all the time. I returned for full refund and will not even look into these controllers until they can fix the obvious design flaws.
