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.

    Great controller when it actually works

    This controller is awesome when it actually works. I’m already on my 3rd due to various issues though. It seems almost impossible to find one which isn’t defective out of the box. Issues I’ve seen are buttons sticking on the face and shoulder, double inputting for face buttons, stick drift, and now on my newest one, it will randomly power off on its own. I’d say unless you are a diehard elite controller fan, maybe look at a third party offering for a premium controller

    The elite series 2 controller is the best controller for xbox (and pc) that your money can buy, the only downside being is it doesn't come with the entire package for swapping parts in and out like the original elite series. Sturdy construction, very good grip on the palms and the buttons are extremely responsive.

    Controller is great, feels way better than the ones that come with even the Xbox Series S. Time will tell if its a quality controller but for right now, I'd say it is.

    Best controller if you are using steam on your PC I would advise to get the protection plan, xbox controllers can stop working for no reason (according to some reddit posts) or stick drift and this one is no exception something that has not happened till this day with my ps4 ps5 and switch controllers on my pc, mines has not had issues so far, but I can say by far its the best controller I own

    This is is my 2nd elite purchase. As with all controllers there will be wear and stick drift, but I can’t think about playing with something other than an elite.

    The shortened travel for the triggers is everything in a FPS game. The paddles are great when racing. The batteries last forever. The build is amazing. I can’t say enough good things about this.
