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.

    Don’t buy this controller unless you want to spend this much money on some crap that will last a year max. The left and right bumpers will break. I’m gentle with my controllers never dropping them and the stock controllers never broke down as much as this one. Idk what a better substitute would be. I’m buying a Wolverine chroma v2 and hoping it’s more reliable than this expensive piece of junk. Lb and rv have been a must for me and this controller fails the test In the first series AND THE SECOND SERIES. They don’t care they will sell it cause of the credibility they have. Probably won’t fix it in their third try around cause we buy it anyways

    I will never go back to Xbox Original Controllers again! After buying this product all my friends decided to pick one up too! The controller feels great in the hands and the back paddles have changed the way I’m gaming!

    Great upgrade from the previous elite controller. Love the new cord that comes with this one. The power cord is long and comes in handy if you sit a little distance from the Xbox.

    Bought this as a gift for my husband since he had been using the regular controls for so long it looked cool with the extra triggers. Well he loves it he uses it all the time and wishes he had it sooner

    Just a regular controller with a fancy name

    Don’t let the stars fool you, it is a great product, the thing is that because of the price and the actual usability of the controller makes it impossible for me to give it a better rating. It is a luxury item, and it can help you go pro, but’s that’s it. Other than the back pedals it offers the difference between a regular controller and this is minimal. Both controllers will get stick drift and if you are no good at the game, the controller is useless.

    You better get the extended warranty because it WILL break in a year or less. It’s easier to get one of these then a custom made controller from one of the smaller companies.
