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.

    My son is huge into video games. I almost fell over when he told me how much it was but he also explained why it was so expensive. I was sold. I was tired of purchasing controllers. Since I bought this a year ago I haven't had to replace it.

    This newest version of the Elite is great! It's much better than my other Elite. I've had zero connection/audio issues so far. I love the shorter trigger lock adjustment. The paddles are shorter too so I won't have to take a grinder to them like the first version.
