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 son's series 1 controller stopped working a couple of months ago. We've been waiting for the series 2 to be released. My son seems to like the new one, I didn't see much difference other than the higher price.

    This controller is great! The battery life on this controller is amazing!! Love the back paddles. Took a while to get used to using but definitely helped my multiplayer gameplay once it became muscle memory to use the back paddles!

    Very slightly smaller profile with some nice enhancements over the V1, certainly more durable. Comes with a charging stand as well. Pricey, yes, but worth the investment imo.

    If you want to be in the game, then the elite series 2 controller is for you. I did have the black one and the rubber is coming off it. I had it for 3 years with moderate game play. So, I picked up the blue one for a very reasonable price. Once you go elite, I doubt if you ever go back to other controllers. If you can, get one and get it on sale.

    Bought the black and the white core of these, both easily get a slight stick drift. But the remote itself feels and looks awsome.

    If you’re still using one of those $50 ish controllers save your money for this thing. Best controller I’ve ever owned. The precision is incredible. Feels like a top shelf piece of medical or military gear more than a video game controller.

    This is the best controller out there today. I’m using it with the infamous Xbox series x and it is great! The high price tag is a lot to swallow, but if they dropped the price to $125, I think that is the right target.
