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.

    I owned 3 Series 1 Elite Controllers. Those 3 were fine. I had no problem with them. This version is a slight upgrade to the Series 1. I enjoy the customization of changing out the paddles and D pad. I would recommend this controller to the hardcore gamer only.

    A year later review: Bumpers are poor and don't work 60% of the presses you do, so you have to make your paddle buttons the bumpers. The top smaller bumpers don't work 50% of the time anymore. Both of the sticks are really loose so you have stick drift if you don't have a decent sized dead zone

    Bought two. One for me, me for my son. To me, it’s just a well built controller. To my son, this thing is a gift from the heavens. Like I said, well built, heavy, interchangeable doo-dads, cool charging case, pretty neat. Get one.

    Amazing controller with huge flaws

    This is an amazing controller. The amount of ways you can customize the controller are huge, and the in console settings are also limitless. The problem is that this is hugely faulty controller. Face buttons were going out a little over half a year after it was purchased, and it was not used too much. And this is a common issue unfortunately. I've lucked out that i had total tech so I could easily swap out the controller for a new one. Cause for a controller that costs $170, these faults are inexcusable.

    This is a very good product. It has been so much better than my previous controller. It has a lot of configuration with the paddles which makes it so good to use.

    It is a great heavy controller,but it a shame that this controller with the high price tag has issues and I needed to get the extended warranty Mine had issues with left stick wandering and right bumper reacting slowly. I like the built in battery though. So I had to go to Best Buy (I did set an appointment) with the Rep on phone said controller was in stock.of course no controller In stock.best buy was going to give me store credit,but finally said they can order me another one( I had to rebuy the warranty again) Prior to this I called Microsoft and their warranty on this controller is only 90 days so extended warranty did help from Best Buy

    It really is an excellent controller with a comfortable design and tons of customization options, but I still don't know if it is worth the $180 price tag which is the only reason I subtract a star.

    Exactly as advertised, a very versatile controller for XBox One with swappable joysticks and D-pad along with paddles and hair triggers on the back. Excellent battery life as well and comes with a great case to store the extra swappable parts, paddles, and charging station.
