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.

    Get the warranty or a different controller

    Do not buy without a warranty. It's a great controller, a bit heavy, and feels solid. That being said, it has issues. Took about six months for right shoulder button to double register each press, and I've seen other reviews with similar issues or worse. Don't buy if you can't afford the warranty because you will need it. I love the controller and just hate that it doesn't last.

    This was a open box that I purchased. Would've been nice if they specified that charge base was missing. Besides that the product works great

    Never had an elite controller before, was missing out on so much extra functionality! Controller comes with a case and all the essentials that make it more worth the price.

    Off the bat being able to adjust the tightness of the sticks is what makes it worth it for me. How far you can press down the triggers also is a very convenient thing when switching from driving to shooting.

    You need this for just the bigger stick, hairpin triggers, and adjustable settings. And rechargable battery.

    This controller gives you most of the pro features for a smaller price and you basically get what you pay for in that sense. Overall, my experience with this controller has been exactly what I expected although I am glad that the quality of the buttons feels a lot better than the previous version.
