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.

    It’s a GREAT controller...for as long as it works. Over time you WILL experience stick drift on either or both sticks. You also may experience your bumper buttons double activating when pressed once. It’s random, but when it happens (like switching weapons in fortnite) it’s frustrating. I think I have my shotgun out and I start healing in front of the enemy. Every since elite 1 and 2 controller I’ve had has had problems. Could take weeks, could take months, but it happens. Thank god for geek squad. They have had my back every time. <3

    I previously had an original elite controller and this upgrade was well worth it! The battery life on the contained battery lasts longer than other plug and play options. The extra hair trigger makes a big difference too. I love it!!

    Solid controller. Pros: - rechargeable long lasting battery - paddle sticks - exchangeable sticks Cons: - weight - can tend to cause some hand strain given location of paddles ( for me at least)
