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.

    Best Xbox Controller

    I use the paddle buttons on the back of the Elite controllers for "A" and "B" buttons. This makes it easier to move and look around while jumping in games. The Series 2 feels better built than the first version and I like the charging dock.

    Definitely an improvement over the standard controller and it is nice to be able to customize things such as trigger pull depth and the control pads, but not 100% sure it was worth the expense.

    Bought this controlling in May 2020. 5 months later (October 2020) I have some pretty severe stick drift on my right stick. Microsoft has extended the warranty to 12 months on the controllers due to a lawsuit concerning stick drift but now I have the hassle of having to mail it out for repairs. At this price point I feel like this controller should be pretty close to bullet proof. Especially only after 5 months use. Perhaps look into a scuf controller as they just released a new line for xbox.

    Learned so many new things with this controller. I like basic, but Elite is wayyy better! I have a fast trigger finger and this makes it that much easier.

    I have been contemplating getting an elite controller for years and it meets all my expectations. Love the adjustable analog sticks and having an option for convex stick for left side. It's a lot of money, but still cheaper than PC gaming.

    So I hesitated getting this for my son due to cost. I bit the bullet and bought to and I am so glad I did. He loves it. Once we got it home and realized all it could do it was definitely worth the cost. It is truly a huge upgrade from the standard controllers.

    Performance improvement was immediately noticed. I got $40 off retail on the sale and couldn't be happier. My only complaint would be they only provide on long thumb stick and you cant buy another one easy.

    Great controller that feels a little better than the Elite Series 2. The discounted price comes from not bringing a dock, paddles and interchangeable thumbsticks/Dpad. If you don’t use those, this is a great deal. You can still get the pack seperately with those additional items if you’d like. The only thing I miss is the dedicated share button. You can set another button as a command but I still prefer a dedicated one.
