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.

    Only issue ive had is bumpers being a lil weird (notorious in all xbox controllers). They sell a kit for them though so not much of an issue.

    Had it for a few months now and works great as the day I purchased it. No drifting and the rubbers by the palm is still in great shape. The controller is being used a lot between to players and no button getting stuck. Also, I did but the two-year warranty with it in case it fails on us down the line.

    I bought this controller because I wanted to use the paddles. It took some getting use to but now I feel out of place using controllers that DONT have the paddles.

    This is only worth the cost if you have a current broken elite controller or you want to find after market sticks and paddles.

    This controller is AMAZING! I am a long time console gamer, and about 2 years ago I built a gaming PC. Moving over to the keys took some getting used to but once I was comfortable with it, I swore I would never use a controller again. Fast forward to Elden Ring dropping and just seems like the game was MADE FOR controller. So I went and picked up the Xbox Elite and I was super impressed. The build quality is very good, the swappable sticks are all magnets and hold perfectly. The rear buttons also pop on and off without tools giving you the option to remove them if not in use. All of it is packaged in a great carrying case that can be left plugged in via USB C, allowing the controller to charge when in storage. If you are looking for a quality controller, and have been considered this one… BUY IT! You will not be disappointed.

    The Elite series 1 was great... and then this one came out and is so much better. I'll never go back to a regular xbox controller. Even the Xbox light is customizable to any color. The charging dock is awesome too!

    This controller is amazing! I was very skeptical about spending so much money on a controller but it was well worth the money! Smooth, programmable, and works flawlessly i would recommend to anyone.

    Great overall construction of controller, feels heavy and durable. Paddles are a definite game changer over stock controllers. No double AA, comes with internal rechargeable.

    The customizability you have with this controller is INSANE. The application on the xbox allows for customization of anything from response curves, to completely changing button mapping. Love this controller, although, I haven't gotten better at any games.

    The only issue i've had it has been the joy stick loosing its chrome a little bit from rubbing on the ring where it sits, but thats an issue of all controllers and i can easely replace the magnetic joy stick.

    Fantastic controller! A little bit heavier than the original xbox controller, but got used to it quickly. Additional buttons can be easily changed on the xbox controller settings. Would recommend 100/10.

    I bought this one after my fist Elite Series 2 started suffering from runaway thumbstick and unresponsive right bumper after 2 years of steady use. Since i already had all the additional accessories from my first controller, there was no need to buy the full set again. I would give this controller 5 stars, but it’s known to suffer from a limited lifespan. Other than that, the feel and performace of the buttons and paddles are still my choice compared to other controllers.
