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.

    Great controller. Good heft, adjustable stick tension and trigger throw. This version (Core) does not include the bottom paddles (removable) but can be equipped with them if you have them. It also does not include the case or the charging dock (again Core version lacks these accessories). This is my second Elite 2. Hopefully, this one doesn't die of drift like the first did.

    Theres alot of negative stigma around this controller. But out of the box, absolutely no issues. Its the Cadillac of controllers. Its feels great, the sticks snap right back to the middle and best of all no stick drift. I definitely recommend the geek squad coverage because if something does go wrong in the next two tears, they can replace it with a new one. No regrats. And use the case to keep it clean, that the biggest maker of stick drift.

    It's the base elite so no back paddles included, if you've used one you already know it's one of the best. The rest comes to personal preferences, I however choose this until I find something better.

    Great settings, feel, look etc. But for some reason there was Huge Input Delay. Completely unplayable, had to return and get a base controller that had no issues.

    This was my first elite controller and it really made a difference! Learning to map the buttons how you want is difficult at first but once you do it and adjust, you will notice a difference! My game play has been better and a lot of my online friends have noticed a difference. The grip makes it always a comfortable hold even during intense situations. Adjusting the trigger is amazing especially with shooter games, I have had people think I had a mod because my trigger finger with a pistol was incredible. Honestly these controllers are expensive, but well worth it in the long run if you are an avid gamer. Please buy the warranty with Best Buy, it's worth it in the long run.

    Messes up a lot, gets drift eventually, requires reconnection at times. I love the grip, adjustability, and price is great. Best controller but it could be improved.
