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.

    Get the warranty or a different controller

    Do not buy without a warranty. It's a great controller, a bit heavy, and feels solid. That being said, it has issues. Took about six months for right shoulder button to double register each press, and I've seen other reviews with similar issues or worse. Don't buy if you can't afford the warranty because you will need it. I love the controller and just hate that it doesn't last.

    Second time I have purchased an Elite controller. I previously had series 1 and this one seems better made. The rubber grips wore out and fell off on the first one. These feel sturdier.

    Great controller, using it for PC Xbox games, had to mess around with a third party program to reduce input lag but the controller itself is solid.

    If you're looking for an edge in competing at video games, then this is the controller for you. This elite controller is better than the first one. However the parts for the first one are NOT compatible with this one.

    Fantastic Controller. Not cheap but for as much as i use its well worth the performance and comfort. I use mainly on PC and it works well. Really like the grips as well as the 3 trigger settings.

    Never had an elite controller before, was missing out on so much extra functionality! Controller comes with a case and all the essentials that make it more worth the price.
