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.

    I love this controller. It seems a little expensive at first but it is truly worth the money. The one downside is the RB and LB buttons are all one piece inside of the controller and tend to break.

    Custom button mapping is awesome. Game changer! Interchangeable thumbsticks and d-pad a nice touch. Heavy duty, definitely not a light controller. Being able to charge the controller inside the case is a nice touch as well. Totally worth the money.

    Very high quality controller. Nice weight to it. Great for competitive FPS games. Setting the triggers to the least amount of travel is my favorite feature. The paddles allow you to always have your fingers on important buttons.

    It's a nice controller I'm little disappointed because I ordered new and I received in an open box the tapes were broken now I'm not sure the product were new or an open box what is sure I pay full price.

    It's a great controller! However, the A button sticks/doesn't entirely work unless you press down extra hard. The bumpers in the back work flawlessly.

    Hair triggers, remappable paddles, customizable joysticks, it has it all. I have not experienced any quality issues with the series 2 that plagued the series 1 elite controller. I only wish I could use it on my PS5.

    Build quality is amazing. It comes in a nice carrying case that has a cutout in the back to allow you to charge it while it’s in the case. Took a little getting used to the back triggers but once you do it’s a game changer. I primarily use mine for cod. Not having to take my thumb off the stick to jump or crouch has improved my gameplay by a mile.
