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.

    My husband is a little boy when it comes to playing video games lol. I recently got him an x box one for his birthday and it only came with one controller so I purchased this controller as a second controller and now all his homeboys have bought one cause they love it as well.

    After owning and using the original model quite a bit the update to the original Elite model is outstanding. Even down to the quality of the home button with the more tactile click shows the patience and enhancements in design.

    If you are a pro gamer then this is a must have for PC or XBOX. Just giving 4 starts because it's still too pricey and would like to see some more dynamic designs of the controller than the classic skin it comes with.

    The best controller I’ve ever had! I love the adjustable trigger, perfect for fps or more laid back trigger use. I don’t use paddles much but after taking sometime to adjust they definitely come in handy

    My husband is hard on controllers. This controller lasts for a long time! It’s the 2nd one we have bought but the first one lasted 3 years and a normal controller that comes with the Xbox lasts him about 6-8 months. He loves the buttons and being able to personalize it to what he wants

    Best controller for Xbox gaming. Vast improvement from the 1st gen elite controller, and is an excellent addition for the Xbox series X. Mapping is easy and better life is perfect. This is a brilliant piece of hard wear for any elite gamer.

    Searched for best gaming controller for PC because I'm not good with mouse and keyboard and this came up. Worked out well since I have an Xbox Series X so I get to use it for both now. It was a little adjustment for Playstation but I wouldn't go back now.

    Awesome gift/investment for a gamer. I gifted this to my husband and he has found a controller that adjusts to him since you can use it based on your own preference. He is obsessed with this, and he’s not going back to the older versions. It’s awesome !!

    As an owner of the black elite 2 controller that had both bumpers fail and rubber grip start peeling after just one year of use, i purchased this in hopes of improvements made. The battery life seems a bit longer but the feel of the product seems a bit cheaper than the black elite 2 controller. If you already have the charging case and paddles, then this is a justifiable purchase, otherwise just spend the extra money on the older black elite 2 and i strongly suggest Purchasing insurance on it.
