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.

    The series 2 has several slight improvements over the original elite controller. Together these improvements add up to the best controller I’ve ever owned. The only negative about this controller is the price.

    Great controller. So far the Elite has been the only official Xbox controller to withstand their endless hours of gameplay without breaking.

    This is Waaaaaaaay better than the first generation. The Rechargeable batter was much needed. I’m glad they replaced the rubber grips because they kept coming off.

    Best controller I've ever owned but left joystick started to experience drifting (although only slightly) after 6 months of use. Was still within warranty so Microsoft fixed it for free.

    Nothing really negative to say about this controller. Feels very premium. I will say it's hard to avoid stick drift, so get the warranty if available.

    If you play xbox and you're still using a regular controller drop the money and buy and elite controller. It costs more but will last and you'll never want to go back. Great controller.

    Best controller I’ve ever used. The LB on the first gen elite controller gave out on multiple occasions so I’m hoping that doesn’t happen with this one, but as of now no complaints whatsoever.

    This has been a great controller so far. Not sure if it’s $180 great but thanks to gift cards and rewards it didn’t cost me that much. Highly recommended if you are a die hard Xbox user.
