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've had two previous Elite Series controllers. I definitely see the upgraded quality on this one against the previous version. The built in battery and the case being a charging case is also awesome. Idk if its because i've gotten use to the Series X controller or previous Elite controller but this one feels slippery. It just feels like it can fall out of my hands for some reason. I wish i knew why it felt that way. I also didnt know it didnt have the feature of quickly switching from PC to Xbox like the Series X/S controller by double tapping the sync button. I guess that new feature is something i've gotten use to. Regardless this controller is still great. The wireless charging is so convenient even with the fear of it degrading over time.

    Great for shooting games like call of duty. I just don't like that it starts to have issues within a year. Button will start to stick or could get stick drift. I would recommend to purchase additional insurance.

    Honestly I was skeptical at first, but the controller fits very comfortably and has a hight build quality. Stick drift is definitely still a thing, but with the stick tension adjustment it was easy to find a balance, unlike the original Xbox controller. You get what you get as far as tension goes. Overall great product, things I wish it had; hall effect joysticks and a better price tag (high cost).

    [Employee of bestbuy] Once you get this controller, you will not be able to go back to any other controller. It is heavy and feels so nice to hold. Quality is top tier.

    Words can't express the quality of this controller. It blows any of the other wireless controllers away with its solid construction. It has metal buttons, interchangeable joysticks and D-pad. You can fully remap the controls plus you get the 4 extra trigger buttons to use if wanted which is sweet. The internal battery is a beast! I charge my controller maybe once a week now versus every day. It really lasts 50 hours+. The grips on the controller work great, plus it's the same size as the standard controllers so it feels right in your hands. Last but not least it comes with a well built, rugid carrying case that can charge the controller while it's inside. This controller is a must have for any passionate gamer! You will not be disappointed!

    Build appears to be sturdy and quality at first use. Paddles are responsive and made of metal so they won’t break. HOWEVER….. the left thumb stick has been known to get loose while in use. And the I started experiencing stick drift after 4 months of use. I recommend always buying the replacement warranty because you will need to use it.

    It's fine. Bought as a replacement for another Elite controller, which was also a replacement for an Elite controller. The previous two, the rubberized grips separated and the controller shell underneath broke apart. Both lasted about a year. If this one comes apart, I'll look at non-Microsoft brands.
