Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the product's great overall performance, excellent battery life, and extensive customization options. They frequently praise its comfortable feel, good weight, and comfortable grip. However, a significant concern raised by users is the issue of stick drift, which appears to develop quickly. Additionally, some customers have experienced problems with button quality and found the price to be a point of hesitation.

    I love these controllers but they do tend to break easily from regular usage. Make sure to buy the insurance.

    Buyer beware: Controller feels good in hand, worked well for 4 months. The internals began to give out and the button responsiveness went down to a point of no input. Further inquiry from others leads me to believe this is a common issue in this controller series. Before you buy be aware you may shortly be involved in the back forth of shipping this controller out for repairs.

    One of the best xbox controllers I've used much better than the first elite. This has not had the issue with the rubber coming loose like the first elite.

    Purchased this for my boyfriend who wasn't very interested in upgrading his controller. He's so impressed and said this helps him shoot in pubg much more accurately. It definitely is worth the money. There's been a learning curve but other than that he's thrilled!
