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.

Wow - a great upgrade!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Such a nice upgrade from the standard controllers. I havent really done anything with custom programming or the extra triggers as of yet but it feels so good in my hands that even if i never do its still worth it.

Great idea, terrible quality control
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love playing my Xbox and my elite 1 started to have stock drift, so I figured I’d upgrade since it’s been a while. Got this baby in pretty fast Best Buy was great all things considered but the product came defective out the box. Now I dont know what the process is to return this now that COVID-19 is upon us, but I’ll tell you guys what was wrong out the box. The A button is non responsive a lot and it’s frustrating when I press it to no avail. The controller always disconnects from my Xbox everyday for a random moment. I love the elite controller idea but part of me thinks I should’ve went with a different company like scuff or Astro.

Plug and play with old parts
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good. The old elite 2s bumpers and paddles would go out on me playing fortnite competitively so hopefully these ones are more durable.
I would recommend this to a friend BUY BUY BUY
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable controller. I just simply can't go back to a normal controller. Must try!

Good Controller, Bad Paddles
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the controller a lot but I got two bad ones in a row. The bottom left paddle button came loose right out of the box, and this is the controller I got in replace of the first one, which had bad bumpers. I hope I did not get a refurbished device....

Love this controller.
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I started out using the first Elite controller. It lasted for several year before I replaced it with the Elite series 2. After about a year and a half the left thumb control stick stared drifting. I replaced the first Elite series 2 with this controller.

Best Xbox Controller
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Personally, I think this is way better than the first elite controller. Feels so much more quicker, smoother and more grippy for intense moments for FPS games.

Best controller every
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best controller ever made. Period. Reassign the usual controls to back paddles or create a macro for a quick one button press that would have taken 2 button presses to accomplish, like going from standing to laying down without stopping at crouch
