Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the product's great overall performance, excellent battery life, and extensive customization options. They frequently praise its comfortable feel, good weight, and comfortable grip. However, a significant concern raised by users is the issue of stick drift, which appears to develop quickly. Additionally, some customers have experienced problems with button quality and found the price to be a point of hesitation.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    This is my 6th elite controller I’ve purchased (had to trade in 5 others before returning in the past due to button input issues) and it had been working great for just about a year before the left bumper basically stopped working. For a controller this expensive there shouldn’t be this many issues. It was just outside of warranty so now I have to pay $80 to have it repaired…

    I am currently in my third controller. All three have had stick drift bad enough that it makes the games impossible to play. The second one wasn’t as bad as the first and third. I have both returned to buy a different one and sent in for warranty. Very frustrating. I have no idea how this has such good reviews. DO NOT BUY THIS CONTROLLER.
