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.

    Amazing build quality, connection and charging is easy. Paddles are easy to remove and adjust and make gaming easier. Adjusting paddle and button mapping with the accessories app on the XBOX is a breeze.

    I’m not an intense gamer with shooters so I can’t fully apeak to the durability issues that others have had but its a solid well built controller & I’m happy with it.

    I really like the tension control adjustment. My old controller had button issues and the core was a great replacement and I just use my on hand parts.

    The Elite Series 2 controllers are *THE BEST* Xbox controllers on the market. Yes a bit pricey but it literally feels like you're bringing a gun to a knife fight. The way it feels & the way it holds up, along with the built in battery makes it the best of the best!

    Absolutely love this controller, I didn’t t think there would be much difference, or enough difference between this and the regular controllers to warrant buying the better one but wow!!! It’s soooooo much better than the regular ones. The respon time is so much faster, and smoother controls. Love it

    If you have a normal controller your missing out. The paddles are a game changer. My only complaint is get the extra warranty. For some reason the right bumper seems to go bad alot just replace it.

    Great controller if you want paddles. However, it doesnt come with the case or the exta paddles. This is great if you have paddles already and just want a pro controller.

    I purchased this as a gift for my son's birthday and he loves it. He is on 13 years old but has already customized the additional levers/switches for CoD: Modern Warfare. It also arrived days ahead of scheduled to my home address. We are extremely satisfied.

    I love the color and how it feels in my hands when I play. Bought it to play Diablo 4 and it’s been amazing. 12/10 recommend over a standard controller.

    Best controller for PC or XBOX no question. MINUS the 2 I took back because of stick drift and/or the A face button didn't work. But this 3rd controller is the absolute best. This rating is on the 3rd controller not my experience getting them.

    Had the elite and hated how often I was having to repair the lb/rb buttons. I liked it other than that. This controller is holding up better but I still feel like is has it's own issues. I've noticed the right joystick not working at times. I also don't like the options for the joysticks they gave. The elite sticks dont work on this controller without modifying them. But I do like the hair trigger and joystick adjustments. The grips all around are good. I also like the integrated charge station in the holder. They switched out the micro usb so you can't use your old cable but they give you a nice new one. I say it's good but not great for the price.
