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.

    Love it. Much better than the first version. 3 levels of trigger resistance. Internal battery. The paddles are a little shorter so it's not as easy to tap accidentally (it still happens from time to time). The construction and materials of the controller are pretty good.

    Good controller. Accustomed to using a Scuff controller which is more versatile. A great option if you're not going custom.

    Its a very nice controller with all the bells and whistles. But my big con was the fact that i cant use my battery chargers. Can only use the plug and play which when you are far from tv gets annoying. If they fixed this id buy 2

    Id say if your a hardcore gamer especially online this is for u with its customization and built quality its ment to take the hours youll put into it. But if u want a controller that doesnt break so easily this also works. Id say wait for the right price doe .

    Great controller - haven’t even used it to its full potential yet. Response times on the trigger buttons are much better with the sensitivity toggle.

    Controller is very nice, but as many reviews have stated the build quality isn’t the best. Sure is nice though, but definitely not worth $180. If you have the money for it, you should buy the warranty, which is another $60 so yeah it’s really pricey.

    Why didn’t I make this upgrade sooner? Absolutely impressed with the build quality and structure of this controller. Many more upgrades from the V1 series and it will blow your mind. If you haven’t already, add to your cart and make the purchase. Thank you!

    Bought this to replace my Elite Series One and it rocks! I use it for many games since moving over to my gaming PC and it is the best! Love the feel the build and how you can customize it even more then the first one! It is pricey I will admit but if you can spring for it do it and thank me later!

    I bought this for my 12 yo grandson. He already had another wireless contriller that he wasn't very pleased with. He really likes this one. I think i might have scored a few grandmother points!

    As expected, performs well, definitely one of the best xbox controllers if not the best. Only slight complaint is the back buttons are a little stiff, just had to get used to them
