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, Poor Quality Control

    This controller feels great in the hand and has a very nice weight and a overall premium fit and finish. I love the back paddles and the magnetic swap-able stick heads. The best feature of the controller in my opinion is that you can tighten the tension of the thumb sticks which is a game changer for me since I’ve always found the stock Xbox sticks to be too loose. The reason I’m giving this controller 2 stars is because the first controller I got had a loose and jiggly d-pad with both the circle and cross head on the right side of the d-pad. I exchanged the controller and the second one was even more loose then the first one so I decided to return it. I understand there’s always going to be defective products (especially with game controllers) however the fact I got 2 defective controllers back to back is unacceptable in my book for a premium controller that retails for $180.

    This controller is great. Super easy to change the D-Pad or the joysticks. My A button feels a bit sticky although it has not messed with my playing yet. Mapping buttons to the back paddles is extremely easy and can be done at anytime. If you do not want to use the back paddles, they come out very easy. This controller is great if you like to customize and plan on using the back paddles. I use the paddles not competitively like one would assume so even just mapping the A button to the back top right paddle can be nice for some.

    The Elite controller was just as good for sensitivity and control. The handles wore and started to separate from the rubber, so I needed a new controller. I'm not sure what was expected of this new controller, but it does pretty much the same. I do like the idea that it will be compatible with the new Xbox coming in Nov/Dec 2020. The one new feature that is great (so far) is the rechargeable batteries. I would use rechargeables in my old controller, but would have to keep swapping them out. With these, I just use the USB cord which I like a little more.

    Better then using a regular controller. The Elite controller is an amazing controller in my book. Playing call of duty for amount of years and playing this game....most of my controllers are wear and tear. But the Elite is holding strong. An I mean strong. You can feel the difference. Buy an Elite controller...it will change the game play.
