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.

    This controller is pricey, but if you play a lot the cheaper controllers end up breaking. The charging dock is a great feature, and one that 1st gen elites didn’t have. They have also added paddles (4 total vs the 2 on the first gen). All in all a very solid feeling controller for the serious gamer.

    I had the first elite controller and it finally went out after 5+ years. This is perfect as I already had the paddles so this was a great value. Love this controller and would recommend to anyone.

    They upgraded everything that needed to be upgraded charges wirelessly on its own pedestal type c connection the grip has been redone which is a big plus there are no longer seams in the grip you can adjust the tension in the thumbsticks overall well worth the money how he recommended can't say good enough stuff about it.

    My husband loves his remote. We've purchased the elite series several times. The previous versions had issues over time, specifically with the joystick and L1 button. We will see how long this one lasts.
