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.

    I would give this controller 5 stars because when it works, it's phenomenal. It feels great, the sticks are solid, the quality of the materials is fantastic. HOWEVER, I swapped mine out three times because the "A" button doesn't register half the time. You have to press it a very precise way, directly center, for it to register, otherwise, nada. Playing games where you quickly need to jump like The Messenger are impossible to play on this. I don't know what the deal is but I've seen this problem with the "A" button all over the internet. I cannot recommend this as something THIS expensive should not have such a widespread and fundamental problem.

    If you want to take your game to the next level, this controller is an absolute must! The configurable buttons, paddles, triggers, and sticks allow you to take over the competition on any game you play. The battery lasts for days of play and it doesn’t lose sync with your console.

    So far so good I'll try and focus this review on the things I think are useful that people want to know. I've had the controller about 1 week, and used it for a good several hrs each day. I don't play competitive and don't thrash the controller around. Been playing twin stick with reasonable amount of trigger usage, and some coverage of all other buttons including the infamous Y button. So far I have had no issues, no double clicks, or missed clicks etc. Both sticks are perfectly tracking as shown in the xbox accessories software. And the response curve on the triggers is also as it should be. The trigger adjustments work as expected and feel solid, but by the same token I wouldn't be too rough with them when shortened. The stick tension provides three settings, standard, firm, and extra firm. This worked fine for me, but I'll be sticking with standard. Accessories: I love the convenience of the charging stand and case it comes with The different stick options are a plus and easy to swap, but I will probably just use the default ones. The faceted (default) dpad has a nice action, but for me the + dpad is the better choice and has a decisive response! The paddles work fine, easy to remove if desired, I do use them with a couple of remappings (view and left bumper in my case). IMO, the new white elite 2 controller could have at least been a consideration if it had the + dpad and the paddles. Software/Other: I use the controller on PC coupled with the wireless adapter (got mine from Noel Leeming) The XBox accessories app works as expected and allows me to setup the profiles. You can remap all functionality on the controller, but only to existing actions the controller supports. SO... - No keyboard mappings - Doesn't allow a mapping for the "Share" button found on newer xbox controllers.

     The only thing that makes me a little sad as it did not come with a paddle attachment, but other than that it is a great controller to use for both PC and Xbox

    Best controller imo hands down for any console. I use this on PC, even though I have a ps5 I can say this controller is the bees knees. still using it years later. Geeksquad replacement is worth it to get a $200 controller brand new 2 years later
