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 controller I have ever used

    I don’t know if it’s worth 180, but hands down the best controller I’ve used. It feels real good in your hands, and customizing the thumb sticks feels great. I use it on my pc and I had to buy the Xbox Bluetooth adapter

    Great controller. It's built so much better than a regular controller and adjustable joysticks are a complete game changer!

    Best 1st party controller in the business. MS finally listened and fixed the crap shoulder buttons on the Elite 1 version. Ive used this version since it came out and love it 2 years in.

    Awesome controller. I was very hesitant on spending so much more that a standard controller but very glad I did. Buttons are easy to change and configure and makes a huge difference in gameplay. If you are a gamer you want this

    Got a "excellent" condition controller, turned out to have stick drift on both sticks. The 2 front bumpers where double skipping like crazy. The back buttons do not register all clicks.

    If you liked the first version you’ll like this one as well. About the only bad thing I can find is that the batteries are not able to be replaced. But the nice thing is there is a charger you just have to set it on to charge it back up.

    1st one had drift on the left thumb stick, Microsoft the was not helpful with their policy! 2nd set hopefully won’t have drift, but if they do I’ll switch to scuff!
