Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the product's great overall performance, excellent battery life, and extensive customization options. They frequently praise its comfortable feel, good weight, and comfortable grip. However, a significant concern raised by users is the issue of stick drift, which appears to develop quickly. Additionally, some customers have experienced problems with button quality and found the price to be a point of hesitation.

    $180 controller with some cheap components

    This controller feels extremely nice, feels very well built. You must buy the protection plan because it will break. In a sample size of 3, all three have broken in less than six months each. Left analog stick drift on one, the headphone jack on another, and the left bumper fell out on another. This is not from hard use at all, they haven’t been thrown dropped etc. For being 3x the price of the standard controller this one should have higher quality components.

    Great controller when it works, I’ve gone through 4 of them because of wear and tear. Within 6 months i have to get another one, definitely buy warranty if you’re getting this controller.

    I use the paddle buttons on the back of the Elite controllers for "A" and "B" buttons. This makes it easier to move and look around while jumping in games. The Series 2 feels better built than the first version and I like the charging dock.

    Bought this controlling in May 2020. 5 months later (October 2020) I have some pretty severe stick drift on my right stick. Microsoft has extended the warranty to 12 months on the controllers due to a lawsuit concerning stick drift but now I have the hassle of having to mail it out for repairs. At this price point I feel like this controller should be pretty close to bullet proof. Especially only after 5 months use. Perhaps look into a scuf controller as they just released a new line for xbox.

    Love it! Great response and feel, but does seem to lose connection at random times. But reconnects after a few minutes. Hopefully an update will fix that issue. Other than that, it’s the best controller I’ve had yet.

    So I hesitated getting this for my son due to cost. I bit the bullet and bought to and I am so glad I did. He loves it. Once we got it home and realized all it could do it was definitely worth the cost. It is truly a huge upgrade from the standard controllers.
