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 a fantastic gaming controller. The only downside is that the grip starts to come undone with heavy play.

    I’ve had to replace atleast 5 of my Elite controller series 1 for one reason and one reason only. Terrible bumpers. Luckily I always had geek squad protection. I was hopeful with the release of this controller and thought they would up the quality of ther high-end controller but I was disappointed. After about 2 weeks the bumpers became extremely inconsistent and started to register 2 clicks instead of 1. You can imagine how annoying that would be in a game of fortnite for example. If you’re looking to buy, I highly, HIGHLY, suggest getting the geek squad protection plan because 9/10 you will need it.

    Its a amazing control, everything to the grips, dpad and bumpers work so well. Only issue i had was that the rubber where rb and lb bumpers are at started to peel off.

    For a 180 controller they need to have a longer manufactures warranty. The feel and precision of controller is amazing along with battery life. However shortly after the 90 day warranty expired the left analog stick doesn’t recognize going up until like 5 seconds later. There is no physical damage , but when you go to x box accessories app it shows delayed to none reaction when calibrating controller. So be careful with this purchase because the internet is riddled with complaints on this controller.

    Add the paddles and once you get used to them you are gaming on another level!! Build quality is excellent and the charging dock is a nice touch. It’s a must.

    Bought it new from Bestbuy, mine was scuffed up. It’s quite disappointing that a controller at this cost isn’t perfect upon unboxing. It did feel nice in my hands, that’s why I gave it 2 stars instead of 1. But disappointed how it looks. Nothing special about spending 3x the cost of a normal controller, unless you’re a sweaty gamer that needs the paddles, but even then better options are available.

    Great controller. Not as good as the original elite controller. Looks are better but quality seems to be a little under the first elite. Bought this one for a friend. Ive had mine for about 6 months now.

    I understood why people love this control the instant I put it in my hand. It feels premium. After playing with it for two weeks, it began to feel natural; my hand was adapting to the new trigger buttons. Unfortunately, the right trigger began to give-way and the spring was making a squeaking sound. The standard face buttons also didn’t register every time I press them. I returned it. Thankfully it was within the return period. I now also understand the issues of this controller. The manufacturing for these controllers isn’t consistent. I purchased a new controller that arrived today and i hi opefully I can leave a better review in the coming weeks and months.

    The new Elite Series 2 is definitely better than the first one. Looks like they strengthen the bumpers which broke three times on the first one. Good thing I bought the warranty. I recommend this to all gamers.
