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.

    Nice looking controller. Has a lot more weight than the standard controller. Love all of the adjustments (e.g. hair triggers, button customizations, paddles etc), love the textured grip. The problem is that the “A” button was sticking immediately on day 1. I expect better at this price point.

    Thought this was a good replacement for my Elite 2 I paid full price for. Just move sticks and paddle over. Problem is that the left joystick failed after only 25 days. Play about 2 hours or so every other night with friends. So this had alot less time than my scuf (that still works). I like the weight of the elite controllers. Very disappointed. Got a replacement because I am a Plus customer. otherwise I would be SOL and out $114. Microsoft quality is beginning to suck.

    Great remote. Very sensitive and the joysticks feel great. Only complaint is that the buttons underneath the remote get pressed when handling the controller at times.

    This was also a Birthday gift to my son and he LOVES IT! Just uses it for certain games,just because he wants to keep it as perfect as it came, so he interchanges it with the one that came with the series x.

    Sure it is expensive but if you plan on using it for a lot or for a long period of time then it is worth it. It just feels better than the standard controllers and I believe it gives more control during gameplay.

    my boyfriend really likes this controller, it’s the second he’s gotten after the first one broke because he stepped on it accidentally not because the product breaks easily.

    By far the best controller you can use for Xbox, also compatible with PC and fully programmable on both systems. Built in battery is a perk and carrying/ charging case is great for storing and keeping ready to go.
