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.

    This newer version of the elite controller has some added new features that really set it apart from regular controllers. The case also includes a charging dock which you can connect through the case if you wanted. Absolutely worth it if you can fit this in your budget.

    I bought this controller specifically to play Call of Duty. Once you get used to playing with it, you’ll wonder how you ever played without it. The controller has multiple customizable settings and it’s easy to switch between them. Definitely a 10 outta 10!

    Too expensive for what it is, and I've found that the triggers are a bit clunky if you're not playing a 1st person shooter game.

    Really enjoying this controller. This is the first time I have bought an elite controller and i got to say, it is a game change. Makes it so much easier to play fps games. I will not go back to the regular controller after this.

    I love the controller. I just hate how buttons have gotten stuck over time and/or stopped working - left trigger and right bumper. I've had to replace the controller twice, but keep coming back for more!

    Defective bumpers.

    Months in and both bumpers have stopped working half the times I press them. I have to press hard in the middle to get them to register the click now which makes this unusable. Sad because I owned the original Elite controller and had the issue with the rubber gripping peeling off on both sides. Now this controller has defective left and right bumpers after only a few months of use, never dropped.
