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.

    battery lasts longer, it feels better, connects better, is more customizable, and is even built better than the elite series 1 definitely worth purchasing.

    I bought this to replace my last one which I dropped from head height onto a concrete floor. I now think my last one was faulty, because this one works much better - the buttons are smooth and the controls feel connected to my soul! If you play a lot of games on Xbox, get this - it's really worth it.

    This controller is probably one of the best in the market for a hard-core gamer or someone willing to spend the money to get a really nice controller

    I only used it for 2 weeks. My left hand didn't like using all the paddles. I tried the extra thumbsticks but didn't have a use for them. I like how easy it is to hot map buttons (make the A button do what the X button does, for example) My favorite part of this controller is the hairpin trigger adjustment. Other than that... I didn't sit well knowing I paid $200 for a controller and I barely used all it's features. I went back to my regular red controller ☺ I'll leave this one for the pros.

    I bought this item less than a month ago and it already has stick drift. Pretty disappointing. It’s not a major issue right now as the stick drift isn’t too severe and I mostly play games where I’m always using the stick, but on games where it’s left untouched for a little bit it’s quite annoying. For $180 I’m pretty disappointed that it already has this issue since cheap $20 dollar controllers have gone for years without issue.
