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.

    Great controller with the exception of the left and right bumpers which start to stick/fail after about a year and a half of use. I highly recommend purchasing the two year warranty.

    It’s good but the case that microwave gives you pushes on the sticks a bit much for me to be fully happy with the full kit. Other wise it has great battery life and the charging stand is nice to have out the box.

    This one makes you reevaluate how you’ve been playing, you have so much more control in the joysticks and buttons and trigger leveling infreases your action ratio; cery satisfied how customizable is

    My favorite pro controller

    I love never needing to take my thumbs off of the thumbsticks. I solely use this controller for competitive shooter titles, and it works great! The customization is highly appreciated, I’ve tried many combinations already and will continue to experiement. I don’t personally get anything out of the different tension settings, though. The feeling of the controller is pure quality, from the weight, to all the buttons and triggers. I especially love the D-Pads, but for competitive shooters I have almost exclusively used the ‘plus’ D-pad. All-in-all, a way better pro controller than the Dualsense Edge, and on par with 3rd party pro controllers.

    My box Elite Series 2 controller is my favorite controller. I can setup the buttons how I want, and the paddle buttons on the rear make gaming much easier since I don’t have to remove my fingers from the control sticks to perform actions, which speeds up reactions. A must have accessory.

    I’ve read some mixed reviews out there, but my experience with this controller has been nothing but enjoyable. It is a very solid, durable feeling controller, the sticks are great and so are the buttons. I haven’t used some of the more advanced features this controller has to offer yet, but my first impressions are overall very positive!

    Controller feels great when it works but the elite controller is poor quality for the price stick drift is ridiculous. I would definitely recommend geek squad protection don’t waste your time with sending it back to Microsoft to get fixed. I’ve had gone through 4 elite controllers all stick drift issues. Buy open box it’s cheaper & better deal

    Great so far! Had a modded controller before this one and the buttons started sticking. I’m not a fan of the big paddles on the rear of the controllers so this worked out great. I love the feel of the rubber on the controller.
