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.

    Everything is improved on this controller from the first generation. Great matte finish and sturdy enough for long gaming session. Rubber grips can still be improved.

    I got this on sale and it has been great so far. I havent had any problems. Maybe its because I dot play shooting games or games with a lot of fast movement going on , but I'm happy with my purchase.

    I will only buy my controllers from Best Buy utilizing the Geek Squad 2-year warranty, because they will not last that long anyways. This is my third Elite Controller. The others failed due to irreversible stick-drift. For such an uber expensive item, I wish they would address critical failures like stick-drift and button sticking. If not for that, I’d give it 5 stars.

    I think it is a big step up from the last Elite controller. Fit and feel is great and so is the responsiveness of it. I wish the price was a bit less though...

    I was apprehensive on getting this controller mainly because of the price. But looking at it from a gaming standpoint this controller does make excellent sense compared to the basic controller that comes with the console. Very good and very responsive especially when playing call of Duty so it's something definitely I would recommend if you are a gamer.

    Amazing controller helps a lot since you don’t have to move your fingers off your joy stick to press a b x y or anything on your d pad your also able to program the back pedals to many controllers and the multiple different joysticks help with aim and other things
