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.

    [Employee of bestbuy] Mine seems to have worse battery life than my elite series 2 full kit (not core) does. Works fine, but battery seems terrible

    This controller was one that I had my eyes on for a long while. After finally receiving it, I was a bit disappointing at how similar it feels to the other Xbox controllers. Besides the excellent controller grips and color, the thumb stick sensitivity is like the regular Xbox controllers. Xbox controllers in general have a bigger gap when it comes to precise thumb stick aiming than PlayStation so it was disappointing to see that the elite controller is the exact same when it is advertised as being able to set your thumb stick sensitivity. This is nowhere near the same sensitivity as Returned after a few days of testing.

    This is a great controller, the feel, the function are great. Only is that knocked down to 1 stars was the A Button. The A button consistently gets stuck. It does not take long for it to return to normal but when you are in the middle of game, a sticky button could be the difference between owning the game and getting owned by the game. I am going to return it, as it is unacceptable to pay close to $200 dollars for stick button. I know I am being harsh but, if you have paying this much money for a controller, you would expect excellent quality control on the part of Microsoft. I have the first series and never had an issue but I can't say the same for Series 2

    This is my second controller, and it tends to wear out as you use it. I would recommend a credit card that adds a warranty or pay for a warranty for when it breaks

    One of my favorite controllers. The thumbsticks eventually lose the tight feel and the right bumper will not consistently take inputs due to wear and tear. Despite the negative, I love this controller.

    I was really excited to get the controller. Looks great, feels great, was very disappointed. Every time I pressed the A and Y button I had to press very hard if I didn’t it would not register. This happened very often. The button did not get stuck it just would not work correctly. After having this issue I did some research and found a large amount of people having this problem even after exchanging for a new controller. I returned for a refund and will just use my regular controller. If they can fix this issue it would be great, but this is a deal breaker.

    One of the best xbox controllers I've used much better than the first elite. This has not had the issue with the rubber coming loose like the first elite.
