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 overall a great controller until it starts going in and out of connection with my console.

    Works for a few months until the bumpers and x,a,b,y buttons stop working all the time. Not worth the price, Your buttons will cease to function faster than a $60 controller would. The build quality is fine, just not the design.

    Love this controller! So many different ways to customize to you specific gaming style and comfort. Was skeptical if it was really worth the price... The money u save on batteries and the fact it comes with its own charger and protective case just adds to the value.

    Love this controller, the Bluetooth feature is a plus for me, to be able to take my personal settings on the xbox and apply them to my phone was a great add-on. I believe also it will be compatible with the next gen console so not much you will be losing

    Good controller but 2 months in the RB stopped working. Seems this is a pretty common issue with these controllers. Not worth the price.

    I play mostly fighting games, which kills the D-pad on the standard Xbox controllers. This controller is more responsive and feels better in may hands than the regular one. I love that it will be forward-compatible to the new Xbox. Would recommend highly.

    I held off buying one of these for a long time. When Jedi Survivor cane out I caved and my mind was blown at how much better performance I get from it.

    This controller is very customizable. It is a very good no lag controller. I highly recommend this controller. The only complaint is that I sometimes hit the bumper when using the trigger. Maybe they will fix this by the Elite 3

    This is my first elite v2 purchase. I owned the original elite and it started having drifting issues so I purchased another one but I added the extended warranty just in case this one has the same issue.
