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 is the best controller ever made, from the features to the quality. The wireless connection is unbelievable, I can not tell between wired and wireless with this device. I love it and highly recommend it.

    Far better than the series 1! Love the 40-hour battery life and the only problem I see is the elastic thing for the hair trigger settings fall off;(

    Great build quality, and customizability. However you will want to get the BestBuy extended warranty as they are known to have buttons or sticks fail after some time.

    The controller is great until the buttons start to no work. The RB and LB button go out about 6 months of use. I normally play an hour or two everyday. So maybe 20-25 hours a week. Would recommend only if you purchase a protection plan.

    Xbox Series X Elite Wireless Controller

    Got an Elite Wireless Controller because my standard XBOX Series X took a dive on a Joystick. My friends use these and I can see why. My scores immediately improved and I could program the paddle shifters below for what I wanted. The only downside is that you can have 3 different "Button Layouts" and there is a button to Toggle through them. During a game if you get "crazy fingers" and tap the "button profile select button, prepare to crash, die, respawn somewhere else because YOU told it to. Solidly built and take death grips on the horns and hard pressed on joysticks quite well. It holds" zero" joystick center very well.

    Love/Hate Relationship with these controllers. Without a doubt better than any aftermarket controllers (Scuf). Purchased to replace a worn out Elite Series 2. Unfortunately right out of the box the back button broken.

    I have my paddles set up to my liking and they’ve really helped my gameplay improve by allowing me to react faster by not having to remove my thumb from the joystick to push another button

    I ended up returning this controller because I could not justify to my kids spending that much money. Some day when the price is more reasonable I will get it again. The way it felt in my hands was great.
