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.

    Left Bumper broke and theres is moderate stick drift on both sticks after 4 months of use.. outside of warranty date. Controller feels very high quality, looks and feels great but just doesn’t seem to function so. I’ve never had this many issues with my past $60 Xbox controllers. Disappointed their premium version is a downgrade in reliability.

    Good controllers as I don’t have the need of the more expensive controllers. Only thing I notice is the buttons and joysticks can stop working after a year or more

    I replaced my worn out elite series, with the new version. My old unit had played hard! This new series 2 has great new improvements, also the new unit is not a duplicate. You can not swap parts from the old to the new. I have my original fitted with round top sticks on it, the new unit only allows one of these, on one side or the other. You can not use the old sticks or any other remove able controls. So yes I love it for being well made, but just not compatible with the older elite.

    Controller works great and it’s still working great despite using it every day and accidentally dropping it off my bed once. Sturdy and great for competitive games.

    Non-gamer here. It was hard to understand why we needed to upgrade to the elite controller until I held each and felt the difference. I've watched enough game play to see how intense the play can be, so now I can also understand why having some of the features would help. So instead of having to buy a new basic controller every 3-4 months because of the wear and tear, we'll invest in this and see it last a lot longer

    Best Xbox controller I’ve ever had. I normally only use one paddle to remap L1 but you can have 3 additional presets.

    Perfect controller. This is my second elite controller. I still have the first, I just wanted a spare. Feels solid. The only difference is that this does not come with the carrying case or the back paddles. I got back paddles elsewhere for $15.

    Its a pretty good controller, i like how you can adjust the tension to the sticks and how far you want the lt and rt to go down, controller is pretty responsive and has nice qualities, it has a good gripping material and its just pretty good in general, would recommend.

    Controller is great, feels amazing in your hands. The paddles work wonders in first person shooters. Stick drift is terrible!!!!!! Right out of the box you expect a brand new 180$ controller to be perfect. Noppp!!! Not here always has drift.
