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.

    remote feels great in the hands, good sturdy build, heavy no plastic feel, grips are reasonably textured for ease friction grip styles, the negative part of this device.. plan on replacing it shortly after you purchase and use it. I've had both the older version and the newer version, with same result, the build quality of the internals seems to be lacking, issues with the triggers sticking, joy sticks drifting, and I'm not talking a little. joysticks start to feel like a grain of sand is between the joints.. this item has been identified as one of the remotes / devices now included in the broader reaching class action suit. search for the "Microsoft xbox elite wireless controller class action" for details. you want more than anything for this purchase to not be one of the ones affected by the issues, and you use it thinking yay I got one of the good ones, then few days/weeks go by, and then your stuck w/ a device unless you purchased the replacement plan... do yourself a favor. get the replacement plan and just get used to replace it and be happy, or get a different device.
