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.

    This was for a young teenager with expensive taste. He is tough on controllers. He is enjoying this one and it performs accurately.

    Right Bumper Issues after 3 Months

    Apparently the issues with the bumpers failing has not been corrected. After only 3 months of less than 3-hours a day of play my right bumper only intermittently responds to inputs. I have since found out this is a known issue for this product. Without the ability to purchase a protection plan to cover this issue I would not purchase this product and even if there was a protection plan offered that covers this issues I would be hesitant to buy it. If Microsoft corrects this issue I'd probably have rated this product with 5 stars, because excluding this major flaw the controller is great and vast improvement over it's predecessor.

    It was ok... not worth the price. Toggles are nice but not necessary. Build quality is no better than a regular controller, it's just heavier. Overall maybe worth like 20-30$ more than a regular controller but not 100$ more.

    Google issues with this before you purchase, I have joystick drift and I baby this thing. It's never been dropped. Other than that small flaw the sticks feel amazing and better than the older elite controllers. I'm not sure on how the rubber with withstand normal use as I haven't had it that long. But it feels like it's all one piece instead of stick on like the older elites.
