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.

    Amazing controller. Everything I expected. If you’re on the fence, it’s definitely worth it. Fully customizable, great feel, and ups my gameplay.

    Once I got used to the elite controller I feel like i cant go back to the regular one. My Elite 2 RB started to go bad after 2 years of 20+ hour gameplay per week. Got this one as it is cheaper and I already had the extra assessories. I did also purchase the Best Buy 2 year warrenty just in case. So far everything works great and I checked all functions in the Xbox Assesories app when it arrived. So far I would recommend this.

    It’s a great controller but the QC could use a lot of work. I got the Geek Squad protection this time to protect myself.

    Would highly recommend. The clickiness of the back paddles is very satisfying and the ability to change your controller on the fly is very useful.

    I have bought two of these controllers in the past five years, both of them having the same issue. The left and right bumpers eventually stop working. Lost all the knobs and backside triggers. Like the weight of the controller, it reminds you that it's there.

    Definitely wish there were more settings for the joystick tensioner but overall it's a great controller. The grips are nice and the feel is very premium.

    It's great when it works... but for how long?

    It's easily the best controller on the market... when it works. It worked perfectly for about a year and a half then suddenly I developed severe right stick drift. The Microsoft warranty had expired by about 2 weeks, but they were gracious enough to except it anyways. But it was a hassle getting a quality controller back. They admitted that the drift was so bad it couldn't be replaced, so they sent me a refurbished one (uh oh). On this replacement the "A" button didn't function properly, so it went back again. On the next one, its "A" button also didnt work, so away it went. 3rd time is a charm, right? WRONG. This one had a faulty bluetooth transmitter so I couldn't connect it at all. At this point I finally talked Microsoft into a full refund, which they did. I'm giving it 3 stars because it is hands down the best controller on the market when it works properly, but don't be surprised when it goes it.
