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.

    Definitely improvement on the first model. Changing tension on the controller is a huge help

    Had this less than a month the left joystick is already loose meaning you have to screw it tight when you are playing a game. I play sport games it’s annoying when the knob spins when it supposed to stay still. Just bad quality for what they say is an elite. Save up and get something else.

    Elite Xbox Controller. Performs great. You can even go to Microsoft's site and build a custom one, (Not Cheap). It is fun to make a custom one. Buy one of these for you guests. (They Don't need the cool one).

    I dont know how to describe it other than being amazing to use. The haptics are much better than standard controllers. It feels great in your hands and you can swap out the pads for new magnetic ones if desired.

    The control is amazing when it works but breaks down a little to easy. If you’re not using it daily it might last you longer than a few months before the bumpers fail or you get stuck drift.
