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.

    Major quality issues persist. For a $180 controller these should be lasting at least longer than the normal $60 xbox controllers. Started out with returning multiple for out of the box malfunctioning parts. Finally got one in my hands that worked. After a few months of use ran into issues with the LB button registering multiple clicks. Then later on the stick drift came. Poor quality from Microsoft with this controller. Not worth your money.

    [Employee of bestbuy] Bought the first elite 2 in white, noticed the A button would only register if directly pushed down in the center. I was getting missed presses all the time so i returned it. Got this elite 2 in black and literally exact same issue. A button was missing presses all the time. I returned for full refund and will not even look into these controllers until they can fix the obvious design flaws.

    Would have been an amazing purchase but stick drift in less than a month and to fix it would be another $80 and voided the warranty…
