Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the controller's exceptional overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. Users also frequently praise the device's comfortable grip, balanced weight, and high-quality tactile feel. However, some customers have expressed concerns regarding the durability of the buttons and bumpers, as well as the early onset of stick drift. Despite these technical frustrations and the premium price point, many still consider it a top-tier gaming accessory.

    Really like this controller. Comes with different stick options. Really like optional taller stick (wish it came with two instead of one). Also has the ability to adjust the tension on the sticks with the included tool USB C connection. Includes nice case and charging dock. Battery is built into the controller so not replaceable. Battery life is excellent!

    So far been using this controller for 2 weeks. No complaints, no stick drift noticed *yet* . Ive had 3 other elite controllers that all showed drifting anywhere from 1 week to couple months out. Hoping they solved issues. Does not come with paddles however i had plenty of others from previous ones.

    Love the extra grip and buttons. Although after a couple months using the remote, either the left joystick or right bumper would begin malfunctioning. Best to put a warranty on it just in case this happens.

    Buttons wear easily. The drift on the remote is atrocious. And the texture peel very early. But the bumpers are nice

    Some Stick Drift out of the box

    This is a solid controller, but I wouldn't say elite. There is a little bit of drift on the right thumbs tick. This can be reduced through the Xbox Accessory App. but from what reviews I have read, this is a fairly normal issue with these controllers. I would say it is worth the Black Friday $100 price point but would recommend going a different way at higher retails.

    I didn’t think the controller was worth it. I decided to buy it with a coupon I found. After using it for a few hours and getting use to the extra controls I am not able to go back to a standard controller. This controller has helped me tremendously. I recommend this to anyone trying to get a slight advantage in game. Also no more batterys!!!

    Item works well, only wish it included the pads. It's something not clearly called out on the description.

    100% better upgrade than the generic controllers that Microsoft gives you with the Xbox. Night and Day difference in quality, game play, feel, confort, and performance. What more can you ask for?
