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.

    For the price it's the quality you expect. I've had the elite series 2 controller for years and wanted a second one for my other Xbox. It was an easy choice to grab this one without the need for the complete bundle. My only complaint is that i feel it should include at least one pair of tabs for the back to give you a bit more customization. Understandably it is the "core" version, but if I'm buying the controller for this much, which has the same functionality of a standard controller out of box, i do feel it should include just those two extra items.

    This is my son’s second Elite controller in less than a year. The first one had a button go bad after a few months of use. He really likes this controller even though it has way to many buttons for me to comprehend.

    Once you hold an Elite Series 2 controller, you will never want to hold anything else. The build, looks and feel are incredible. The controller also has great battery life - claiming over 40 hours of gameplay - although I never tested that theory, the battery life is VERY long. The customization options are great and every gamer should be able to find a button/layout combo that works for them. Downside is that one of the D-pads stopped responding to certain directions just as the warranty expired. After some research, this is not uncommon. C'mon Xbox, a $200 controller should NOT have simple quality issue.
