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.

    If you have a Xbox series X it can be a great controller instead of the one that came with the system.

    Form and function , sleek and versatile. The only functional issue I encountered was the camera drifted creating some difficulty playing my game. Cosmetically, the controller was quite nice, with only an issue of the rubber grips coming off after a time. I liked this controller, but for the money I can't justify buying another.

    Stick drift. Buttons that stick. Honestly, this is the worse controller I’ve ever bought. I stopped using it in a month. Not worth it.

    XBOX Elite Controller is TRASH!

    Xbox yet again builds a piece of junk! Do not buy these overpriced controllers. They are cheaply made and will need replacing within 3 months. This is my 6th Xbox Elite Controller in 2 years :( The thumbsticks will wear out within months EACH AND EVERY TIME! Not to mention the bumpers and buttons will all have issues as well. Xbox made it so it's very hard to replace the parts yourself. Save your money and buy just a standard controller. If you try to use the warranty to replace or fix your plastic junk of a controller, you will be without it for over 3+ months. DO NOT BUY THIS CONTROLLER!!!!!!

    This second-generation controller bests it's predecessor in every way. Added tuning controls make the controller a must-have.

    Have purchased two of these controllers, both have had the exact same right bumper issue that has manifested in just a few months of light use. It is packed with lots of nice features, like the stick tension, paddles, adjustable trigger actuation, swappable sticks and pad. however none of this counts for much when fundamental aspects such as pressing a button either doesn't register or registers multiple inputs. I expect much more from such an expensive product.
