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 elite is a tank of a controller and the paddles arent flimsy or built into the controller so if you’re getting heated you don’t have to worry about snapping them

    The controller is very well built. The ability to customise every part of this controller from tension in the sticks to multi configuration of the front and back controls separates this controller from others. As a long time medium hand size Scuf controller user I was skeptical. I won’t go back. 5 hour a day gamer giving this review.

    Haven’t had it for long but works great. If you want a scuff type controller that works perfect and is programmable on the Xbox through the settings page. Highly recommended. But definitely get the geek squad warranty as other people have said it can break and Microsoft doesn’t corporate well with the 1 year warranty it comes with through them.

    I baught this open box and the only thing that works is the battery life the buttons work for about 5 minutes and then it just stops working and you can’t click anything and it starts clicking stuff on its own.

    Its a good controller. I've had an elite series 1 in the past that worked well for 2 years till the grips fell off then an elite 2 controller that had issues after a year with the trigger but replacements were easy and this is by far the best controller out there

    Best gaming controller ever

    Plain and simple. Solid, grippy, has a weight, travel case, wireless charge, bye bye battery pack, changeable thumbstick, D-Pad, along with the paddles on the back, adjustable trigger stoppers, USB-C, and custom profiles designed to your own likings. Overall it's a great pickup for your setup or just a controller to experience a different way in gaming era

    I like the customization of buttons and sensativity. My dislikes are far more though. The left stick creeps down so playing first person shooters my player is constantly moving back or im holding it in the “neutral” zone. I have constant issues with the battery. I can leave it charging over night. Unplug it, and it dies in 30 min or less. Mid game with no warning.
