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.

    Solid. Durable. Has a lot more grip than the counterparts.

    As long as it keeps working, this is one of the best feeling controllers on the market. I really wish Microsoft would just redesign the internals and release a series 3.

    Let me start off by saying, I play Call of Duty in a competitive manner, so my controllers will take more abuse than the average player. But within 2 weeks, the controller began to show wear already with the sticks squeaking and the triggers making noise when depressing them. If you are comparing this between a SCUF, absolutely go with the SCUF the extra money is worth it. But if you are looking for a controller than can just do more than a regular one, be configured, and adjusted in every possible way, this is your choice. If you play in any professional manner, or for 5+ hours a day go with the SCUF.

    Probably Best you can get on the market. However, it’s really heavy, and kind of slippery. And a touch too small for my hands.

    Great controller, use it almost everyday, the button mapping in it is very user friendly and very useful, and having 3 different setting for the mapping also helps alot.

    Great controller, but flawed

    Such an amazing controller, but still flawed by design quality. Joystick magnets can get a little wonky, and I'm already noticing the grips starting to peel off after not much use. Still, don't regret my purchase at all. They will need to improve to complete with the PS5 controller though...

    Biggest selling point is the adjustable trigger pull distance. Paddles on the back are a little difficult to not accidentally push during game play. I removed the 2 bottom paddles and only use the top 2. Worth the money, I’m better at COD now!

    The back top pedals could be more sensitive I have to double tap sometimes for it to activate kinda annoying at times. Has anyone else’s had this problem? Other then that it’s ight could be little cheaper tho.

    The tension adjustments on the thumb sticks is the best part about this controller. I’m coming from the original elite controller, so the paddles are nothing new. They have solved the rubber grip problem, but I’m my opinion, the way they did these grips causes them to be a little slippery. I haven’t had any connection or button issues that other review claim.
