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.

    Though a little on the pricey end, i love my elite series controller. The build and quality of the controller is perfect and it’s definitely the best looking and especially best feeling controller I’ve probably ever used. Would recommend to anyone willing to splurge for the best quality you can buy. Definitely do research on if you’re willing to deal with the problems the controller may get over time, mostly just bumpers being unresponsive for some reason. That is the only downside and I wish a newer model would address this problem in the future or else it would really really be a perfect controller.

    Feels a lot better than a normal controller, and it’s nice being able to change out the parts, I play better at siege with it.

    I've had other Elite Series 2 controllers and they all broke fairly quickly, so i bought this as a replacement. It's great so far, but if it breaks quickly again I'll update my review

    When compared to the previous generation, this is what you can expect: Better grip, more tactile response on the paddles, shorter paddles. Overall an improvement. Best part about these is that they are very durable, My last generation elite controller still works after 5 years of usage.

    I like the weight an the feel of it. The trigger adjustment is excellent. It's a little expensive for what it is. All these options shoul dbe on the controller that comes with the console. But it is nice to have. Worth it if you have the cash and want nice stuff.

    i cannot stress enough get the protection, rather the total plan or the one off 2 year protection plan. both this and the Sony elite controllers will break in less than three months, this is coming from a moderate player who only plays weekends and a little in the week. if you are a heavy gamer do not cheat yourself. in terms of the actual feel and features its amazing just built with no durability.

    I've had this for a couple years now and can definitely recommend it for quality. It is built strong and weighs heavier than the standard controller which I find more comfortable when gaming. I like the flippers on the back that you could map actions to. I get a lot of use out of it in Battlefield V.
