Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the controller's exceptional overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. Users also frequently praise the device's comfortable grip, balanced weight, and high-quality tactile feel. However, some customers have expressed concerns regarding the durability of the buttons and bumpers, as well as the early onset of stick drift. Despite these technical frustrations and the premium price point, many still consider it a top-tier gaming accessory.

    We have had several elite controllers so we have extra paddles and thumbsticks. Quite a bit cheaper then the elite 2 with all the extras.

    it'd be nice if they could fix the freaking bumper wear out issue. but nope. it plagues all their controllers. no matter the generation, or price.

    Good item , usefulness depends on what games you are going to play. I would suggest mainly for someone who plays a lot of shooting games. If that's not your forte, don't waste your money.

    Horrible controller

    The elite v1 was great. The v2 took all the greatness of the first one and flushed it away. The buttons feel like a cheap controller. All three stick tension adjustments are junk except for the highest tension which feels like the first elite sticks. The controller is slicker then a standard Xbox one controller. The only plus is that it comes with a really long USB c cable if you need one for your phone. I would not buy this controller or even play with it again. I game atleast 4-10 hours a day so I have some experience with controllers
