Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the product's great overall performance, excellent battery life, and extensive customization options. They frequently praise its comfortable feel, good weight, and comfortable grip. However, a significant concern raised by users is the issue of stick drift, which appears to develop quickly. Additionally, some customers have experienced problems with button quality and found the price to be a point of hesitation.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    Worth it

    Definitely a good upgrade and worth the price. It's nice having the ability to adjust how stiff you want the toggles as well as the triggers travel distance. With it also being able to switch between different toggles and d-pads, makes it worth every penny

    Paddles are great, that’s about it

    Paddles are great, long and good material. The case it comes with it’s cool, can hold the extra joysticks and directional buttons. Biggest issue was the accuracy of the joysticks. Very precise not what I’m used too from other controllers.

    I have owned two Elite 2 controllers in the past so buying this was a no-brainer. Love the red and black color scheme. It is definitely a great choice for anyone who is just looking for a replacement controller without paying full price for all the extra accessories

    Controller is bit more expensive than I would of liked but the customizability of it makes up for the cost. Love the fact I can fine tune the tension of the sticks and what the back paddles can do.
