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.

    Please buy best buys warranty on these! Mine broke because I game a lot and the left joystick finally gave out. Great quality controller compared to other brands that I can't name.

    The extra back triggers are great and easy to remove the thumb sticks or buttery smooth, the rubber grips are perfect for long gaming sessions the adjustable triggers it’s super easy and quick to switch. The keypad is very clicky, but surprisingly good for 2-D platformer‘s. it has quickly become my go to controller For everything but couple emulators or motion controlled games given the lack of it at this price. I would definitely get the case again I only with for how much I spent i would have gotten the color custom one for 40 more but also glad to have not spent 40 on a different color and custom engraving

    Its known that elite series controllers are notorious for having stick drift out the box, and in this case, exactly what happened, apart from having stick drift, right bumper didnt work, and left stick when pressing wouldn't function either, hopefully the next xbox elite 3 controller work whenever they release it that is

    I'm blown away by this controller. First time user of an elite controller and I'm not disappointed. All buttons work well and smoothly. I love the trigger adjustments. Although I'm a bit confused when it comes to the paddles and how to set them. Its definitely worth buying.
