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 summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    Anyone who's anyone will buy this controller. It's a work of art. In fact, as i walked out the store with the box clearly visible a few female undergarments were tossed my way. Here's hoping the durability holds up!

    Wanted the white controller with accessories, so I got the accessory pack on the side. No drift issues yet, but I’m confident my total tech warranty will save the day if need be.

    QA Issues but Solid Controller

    Received a defective stick. Microsoft fixed it under repair but not after sending me two broken “replacements”. Quality assurance seems to still be an issue on these elite controllers; however, once you get a solid one it’s a great controller.

    Is you’re a gamer gamer this is for you. But if you’re a casual player then don’t even bother. Great controller for someone looking to do crazy gaming.

    This version of the controller is much better than the first generation. Buttons and controller feel premium. By far the best controller I've ever used. We now own 3 elite controllers

    Great controller. I really enjoy the heft of this. I am using it as a PC gaming controller and prefer it over any other controller for PC gaming. There are some good 3rd party mapping software also such as reWASD which can help you get the most out of this controller on the PC.

    I loved my Elite series 1 but after replacing the bumpers three times and having the rubber start to peel, it was time for a replacement. All is well so far, it is by far my favorite controller, I hope that it will work as well in a year.

    My grandson dropped it the first day, and buttons fell off -- but the surprise was when the buttons easily reattached magnetically.

    This controller should have been shipped standard with the Xbox Series X. It makes the whole system feel more quality. Good adjustments on the triggers and sticks.
