Customers are saying

Customers are pleased with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. They also frequently praise its comfortable grip, good weight, and responsive feel. However, a significant number of customers have reported issues with stick drift developing quickly and concerns regarding the durability of the buttons, including the bumpers. Despite some initial hesitation about the price, the positive attributes like its overall comfort and useful paddles generally contribute to a positive user experience.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    Love the controller, but shoulder buttons break pretty easily. You should buy this with a warranty.

    Overall OK. The raised slider dots to control trigger depth will indent the tops of your fingers depending on how you hold controller; this feature should have been moved to a different location on surface. The back of controller paddles will take some getting used to but without them the slider dot is even more pronounced

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Hello there,

      We're sorry that there's an issue with your Xbox Elite Wireless Controllers.

    Controller is incredible. Feels great, utility is awesome. Unfortunately, my first devolved a bad control stick drift within 3 months. Got that replaced, now my replacement the rb and left trigger no longer work. So, as long as it works. Amazing. When it doesn’t...well, def buy the geek squad warranty cuz Microsoft wouldn’t replace the second.
