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.

    The ergonomics of the analogs and paddle buttons cant be beat. I use it for xbox and PC. I just now realized i should try and see if it works in my PS5 also.

    The Elite Series 2 is a great follow up to the original elite controller. Microsoft has seemed to listen to all the Series 1 feedback and improve upon that. I didn't think it were possible, but the Series 2 feels even more solid than the original.

    microsoft failed to make this controller compliant with bluetooth after 4+ years of development. Do not buy, it can suddenly drift out of control whether due to bad parts that have no right existing in such an expensive controller or due to code, which is even sadder. it can stop working with xbox, *will*stop working with pc especially steam, and in about 40% of all steam games this controller will suddenly disconnect especially during boss battles. Theres nothing you can do fix that firmware updates wont work, steam cant help you, microsoft will try to blame game developers where as the developers have absolutely nothing to do with the development of microsofts flagship controller in short, this controller should have been subject to a mass recall years ago

    Exactly what I needed. Just keep in mind this is the core remote so you will need the attachments separately.

    Another great Microsoft product. Purchased to improve gaming experience with series X and more importantly Halo Infinite. The step up is noticeable, input lag improved and customization is a boost!

    Not durable for a premium controller

    This controller feels premium and durable. Unfortunately, it is not durable. This is my second elite controller and the LB button has given up once again. Granted, LB is my jump button and I use it frequently. However, this controller is over $200 and should be able to last as it is labeled as a premium controller. I'm not sure if I recommend this controller. I'm actually considering a Scuf Prestige controller if this controller breaks one more time.

    I have so much to say about this controller. But, everything I would say will turn into three novels. It's a wonderful controller. There's nothing I can say, but thank you. This controller is amazing! And the price is worth it.
