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.

    Stick Drift After Just 1 Month

    For the price of this controller, I'm honestly let down and disappointed. After a month of regular use, this controller came down with a very unfortunate stick drift on the left-joystick that now makes it almost impossible to use. While the quality of the build is top-notch, the lack of joystick durability brings this controller from a 5-star product to a 1-star in my eyes. If you do purchase this controller, be sure to get a warranty alongside it as the stick drift issue is not a rare one.

    Awesome controller! So easy to get use to, only thing is I wish the peddles were bigger for my fat fingers. I use it daily, it’s amazing and so many settings for how you like.

    Today i bought my third one of the course of four years. Its a great controller but I’ll save you the time reading everything about it on Reddit … They break. Just from normal use, they break. God forbid it falls off a coffee table. They feel rugged but they aren’t. I had to replace the last one because the pairing button was pressed and just stayed pressed. So today I got a core controller a two year Geek Squad.

    Unbelievable controller. Looks professional and well built. My kid claims it’ll make him play better but I doubt it. Not sure if it’s worth 3x the price of a regular controller

    I have owned 2 Series 2 Elite Controllers. Both stopped working about a year and a half later with light use. In both my cases, the controlllers will just turn off randomly, whether it is plugged in or not. Also, the sticks will bounce back a bit. For example if you push a character in a certain direction, then let go of the stick, the stick will bounce in the other direction, making your character face the wrong way. It is frustrating. You can look up other complaints of shoulder buttons stop working, stick drift, etc. I really want to like these controllers, but they should be MUCH better built for $200. Do Not Buy.

    Bought this controller after looking at reviews comparing it to the original elite, and wasn't disappointed. Feels great to use and really enjoy the ability to tune triggers and thumbsticks.

    The RB button has issues it wore out quickly. It works but you have to use more pressure than you normally should. Really need to invest in a warranty with these elite controllers which is outrageous for how much you spend on them. I really enjoy using the controller when the buttons work properly. It wore out in 3 months so I can’t say I got my money’s worth. GET A WARRANTY or DONT GET IT.
